What? Beltre is better defensively or that Longoria is the better player?

That Longoria is the better player.

Beltre may have had more raw talent, but that is about it.

by JI on Oct 13, 2008 2:11 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

But Beltre can dance and funk.

And meringue.

This is why I never spell the specific dance.

because it sounds like a tasty dessert?

I figure referencing something that is akin to whipped cream would not be a good idea when Beltre is involved.

by NOLAmarinergirl on Oct 13, 2008 2:19 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

If it helps at all Beltre's just as good as Vladimir Guerrero

by Jeff on Oct 13, 2008 2:13 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

That doesn't help because Vlad's not nearly as good as he used to be.

It's okay because in my little world Adrian Beltre is incapable of doing wrong.

As it should be.

If Bavasi were still here he'd give Vlad 6/90 to be our new LF/DH

Probably Beltre, too early to say for sure

Beltre

by Matthew on Oct 13, 2008 2:10 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Beyond the Boxscore is amazingly high on Beltre's defence.

54!

by joof on Oct 13, 2008 3:32 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

He's awesome defensively. So awesome, it makes him a star, despite being only a slightly above-average offensive player.

Gameday lied to me.

It said “in play (out)s.” I figured Navi had fucked up.

weird

Usually they say run if it’s a sac

Exactly.

This is why I feel lied to.

Not a sac though.

Rocco got badly fooled on those last two pitches.

This is very true

He hasn’t looked too good since coming back from disease

by staplemaniac on Oct 13, 2008 2:07 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

He had a small sample .819 OPS

by Jeff on Oct 13, 2008 2:07 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Frankly, I find it absolutely amazing he can play at all.

To say nothing of starting in RF. Wouldn’t that just absolutely kill him?

I agree with all of this

he has just had some ugly at bats is all.

Which are more important to note than his overall results?

by Matthew on Oct 13, 2008 2:11 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

For people who don't understand baseball, yes.

by JI on Oct 13, 2008 2:12 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Nope

Just sayin’ I wonder about the effects of his disease

by staplemaniac on Oct 13, 2008 2:12 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

It does just about kill him. Although he must be doing better than he was in August, because I remember reading about him needing several days off after playing the field. That's doesn't seem to be the case anymore, although he still can't play everyday

On the one hand, it's nice that Jason Bay is out of Pittsburgh and is on a playoff team.

On the other hand, he is a Red Sox player. It’s a terrible tragedy. It’s like when that guy who makes all the funny jokes in the zombie movie gets bitten and you know it’s a matter of time before he’s lost to darkness and evil.
