Waiting til you are 14 games back of the division to call the players-only meeting is like using the kitchen fire extinguisher on the ashes of your house after a grease fire.

Why monkey with something that was working before Gordan was injured? You juggle the lineup when your in a losing streak and cant get hits or runs. I swear some of you cannot ever ****ing be happy. We are 21 games over 500 and 7.5 up in the division lets start ****ing around with shit.:banghead:

What does the historical data say about Young when he passes 150 innings in a season?

It's been talked about all season. I don't think anyone is outraged given the team's success, but having your guy who is most successful at getting on base getting the 6th-most ABs raises a reasonable question. Calm down, spazzy, no one is suggesting flying any banners quite yet.

Yeah ive seen it talked about often in here by no one of importance. Take a little drive to the K and sell your idea to anyone you can get to listen in the front office. Most likely the receptionist. I am sure they all will think to them selves damn why didnt we think of that.

Take your sports talk somewhere else, idiots.

Both, but in the playoffs you will get more starts from Cueto than any other pitcher and that has great value.


If you look at their numbers from last year as an example, it would be:

(17.7 (Gordon's wRAA)/643*90) - (-1.6 (Escobar's wRAA/620*90)

=

2.48+.233

=2.71 runs over the course of a season, about a quarter of a win.

But remember that those runs are not distributed evenly across 162 games.

the best way to think of it is Game 7 of the WS. You want to give your best players the opportunity to hit most. How you would build your lineup there (ignoring platoon splits) is how you should build your lineup.

I don't think like that "if it's not broke, don't fix it".

You can always be better, more efficient. Always strive to improve, evolve.

Always!

Quite the politician there. We all agree playoffs are different. However you are wrong about the "chain reaction" because it doesn't exist in the regular. There are 65 games left and exactly 13 starts each. If they start monkeying with the order and Cueto takes 15 or more, then I'll agree.

@jcrasnick: The #Astros remain in the thick of the Cole Hamels bidding, even after Kazmir trade. They're making big push, source says.

@jcrasnick: #Astros and #Dbacks are both on Hamels' no-trade list. It will be interesting to see what happens if they make best offers.

With tonight's game not even done yet, Kendrys Morales currently leads the AL in RBIs.

**** you, Billy Butler
