Like I said, a player who raises his average more than 60 points in a month is not getting all garbage time stuff, and as a Royals fanboy looser, I must admit that even at 12-3, the lead was not safe.

67 percent of his homers.
55 percent of his RBI.

It's not Gordon's fault they're blowing out teams like the Angels on a consistent basis. Gordon is hitting .341 in June.

Whatever, however you want to saltwater-taffy what I posted, go ahead.

Did I say 9-3 Royals?

Alex Gordon just CRUSHED a three-run bomb.

12-3 Royals, top of the eighth.

Gordon seems to get a lot of garbage-time production.
Click to expand...

Less than 275 ABs into his career and you're theorizing he's all about garbage time? OK then.

His splits are interesting, albeit in a small statistical sample (thank you baseball-reference.com):
Tie game: .346
Within 1 run: .275
Within 2 runs: .252
Within 3 runs: .250
Within 4 runs: .243
Margin 4 runs or more: .220
Click to expand...

Let me know which stat is important when, OK?

First, I said "seems"

Second, I was referencing his getting 67 percent of his home runs and 55 percent of his RBI when the difference is at least four runs.

But, batting average is now your key stat. Good to know.
Click to expand...

The sample size is too ridiculously small to try to argue that the guy only produces in garbage time. Perhaps we could wait a little longer than 3 months into his major league career before starting that crap?

At this point, he is showing signs of development. He's a rookie. The hot streak is great and all, but what really makes it significant is the talent of the player and the idea that this is just the beginning of good things for this kid after a lousy start.

You really do make it hard to keep the arguments rational sometimes.
Click to expand...

Dude....WHO is saying the guy only produces in garbage time.

I said that the guy seems to HAVE GOTTEN a lot of production in garbage time.

It's not a assessment of what he will be.

Only a statement of fact based on this sampling.

That's all I said, for chrissakes.

But, it is interesting.

All the BYH fellating of his more flimsy stats based on that same tiny sampling.
Click to expand...

Actually, he pointed out that the sample size was too small in his post, and showed that you were talking out of your ass at the same time.
Click to expand...

Right.

He really showed that.

Get real.
Click to expand...

Oh, come on....you were talking out of your ass. I'm not one of the people on here that takes shot at you given the tiniest excuse. Hell, I agreed with you in the ERA argument. But here you are again, going for personal insults when people disagree with you ("BYH's tards").
Click to expand...

I realize that you play it down the middle mostly.

My stats I put up MUCH more supported what I had posted than the ridiculous batting average stats.

Yet everyone fell into line with a "good job, BYH." Or maybe it was "good BYH job."

Like I said. If not retarded, purely lemming-like.

Again, show me how I was talking out my ass by saying that a lot of his production comes in garbage time when 67 percent of his homers and 55 percent of his RBI have come (SO FAR) exactly then?
Click to expand...

Proof that statistics can be bent any way you want them. 67% of his homers? You mean four out of the six? Question his lack of homers so far if you like, but no way is that a fair sample size to use.

And as for the RBI's, also a relatively small sample, that is as as much a function of Kansas City's erratic offense as anything. The Royals have been in a lot of blowouts....each way. And saying he gets 55% of his RBI in such situations without offering another player's numbers in a similar spot is useless.
Click to expand...

Dude.... all I said was "it seems he gets a lot of his production in garbage time."

Then, you all started splooging.

Not trying to make trouble, just making a request: Could we simply quote the most relevant part of the post you're responding to rather than the entire post? Carry on.

Hey Simon. thanks for proving what a psychopath you are on this thread.

I didn't even have to drop an f-bomb for you to take the bait, like the psychopath you are.

I'm sure you think, over there in your little basement, where you've never done a bit of journalism in your life, that you've got all of SJ on your side. When the truth of the matter is NO ONE spoke up in your defense here, because everyone saw my point: That it's too damn early to say a guy SEEMS to put up stats in garbage time, when his average increases in pressure situations. The difference of course is I came up with stats that indicate he does pretty well in non-garbage time situations, while you came up with something you gleaned from watching a game on GameTracker. Not once did I say this proved he was a clutch player...only that it was too early, after less than 300 ABs, to say he wasn't.

I also like how it took you a day to respond to me. I know you were around, because you were flinging poo on the great documentaries thread. So I guess it took you this long to come up with your usual psychobabble about how everyone who agrees with me is a lemming. Hilariously pathetic.

The truth is if you disappeared tomorrow, you would make the entire board a happier place. Guess we'll have to wait a few weeks though. Peace out, psychopath.

OK gentlemen, can we back off on the vitriol and get back to discussing Clemens' tendons, etc.? Not that you care, but I'd prefer not to have this particular thread locked.

...

outofplace · Jun 28, 2007

Ok...no more vitriol...though I wasn't "splooging." I simply felt the argument that the kid was doing a lot of his damage in garbage time was an unfair criticism given how short a time he has been in the majors.

BYH · Jun 28, 2007

No vitroil here. Just fact.

Schoeneweis has a severed tendon in his hamstring. That sounds like something you shouldn't even be able to walk with, so I cut him some slack for his suckitude. The real question to me is, why do the Mets insist on pitching him? The guy should be on the DL.
Click to expand...

More NY hyperbole.

He could not pitch with a severed/ruptured tendon. Period.
Click to expand...

You're wrong. A ruptured tendon doesn't necessarily keep you from doing athletic activity. But thanks for contributing, Doc.
Click to expand...

In his hamstring... it sure the fuck does.

It ain't ruptured.
Click to expand...

Nope, still wrong. The hamstring is made up of many tendons and fibers. It's quite possible to tear one of them without being physically incapacitated. It can cause pain and weakness in the leg, but it wouldn't necessarily keep you from pitching. I know it's tough for a know-it-all to accept, but you're just wrong.

MUAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!

You must be a lemming.

Torii Hunter with two more home runs today. (Hi Pallister!)

He's making himself a fortune this year.

silvershadow1981 · Jun 28, 2007

Adam Eaton; just another example of when overpaying for an athlete....goes wrong.

Not like the bullpen's any better.

Fucking pathetic.
