2014 MLB Discussion v2: GOATolo Colon

[Corona]

Lol at that base running by the reds. Jesus.

 

[Gitaroo Dude]

Tulo is so fucking good.

 

[Team Dagger]

Glad Mark Buehrle decided to roid in the offseason.

 

[RedRocket44]

does it bother anyone else that IPs are reported on box scores / stat sheets as say; 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2, instead of 7.00, 7.33, 7.67?

For a numbers game, and now sabermetrics, etc... that's fucked up. I remember like 20 years ago when I was learning decimals and baseball around the same time I said to my dad while watching a Jays game "that's not using decimals right", and he told me to shut up and get him a beer (ok that didn't happen).

Is there any history or logic to why innings are reported like that, or is it just easier to understand for the mathematically challenged? I guess tradition is probably why it will never change to be mathematically correct.

^would be weird if they started reporting innings like that at this point im so used to it. It just looks cleaner imo.

Anyways Pedroia scratched tonight with a sore wrist, just what our struggling offense needs. Although he has looked off at the plate the last week.

Bogaerts will be plugged into the 2 hole.

 

[Partlow]

Its probably just reported like that to show the number of outs.

7.1 = 7 innings + 1 out is easier to read than 7.33 or whatever

 

[Stringer Bell]

exactly, it's not meant to be actual calculation in decimal form. It's just the way the way they present the measurement.

 

[TidalWave89]

I'm loving the work Gonzo and HanRam have been doing against Arizona.

 

[SpladleKing]

Cobb out 4-6 weeks. fuckkkkk

 

[jehosafats]

Brewers swept the Pirates. They're serious, but once again it proves the Pirates could use some bats.

 

[benjaminbuttons]

lol what a fucken blunder by the Yanks.

2nd and 3rd 1 out Soriano flys out and Ellsbury tries to tag up and go to 3rd but gets thrown out before Beltran gets home lol

 

[Mainez]

Coach gets tossed because he's pissed about an overturned call that early into the game? I'd guess he's just got early dinner plans he didn't want to be late for.

Also, I am so annoyed by that David Price naming things commercial.

 

[benjaminbuttons]

He was pissed about a call that he challenged that they fucked up on from Saturday.

 

[Mainez]

He was pissed about a call that he challenged that they fucked up on from Saturday.

Oh the coming off the bag one?

 

[benjaminbuttons]

Schill bro u look like Dick Vitale

Oh the coming off the bag one?

Ya apparently they never had access to the replay that showed he was clearly out

 

[RedRocket44]

Izturis on the DL for toronto after tripping on the steps in the dugout, and hearing two pops in his knee.

What a fucking can.

 

[benjaminbuttons]

Fucken Ichiro

 

[dawnignited]

Love how Phelps got a 7 out save in his last appearance but now he can't buy an out to save his life.

O thank you based Carp.

 

[benjaminbuttons]

the inside strike this ump is calling on lefties is retarded

 

[Mainez]

This ump can't call pitches for shit
