RRS!!!!! Bases loaded, whofuckingcares.
This is currently my signature.

So, basically, RRS is Jarrod Washburn before he became overpaid and couldn't hit 90 any more?

Washburn can't throw a breaking ball for shit
I’d say RRS > Washburn
by Gomez on Aug 9, 2008 8:45 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Washburn actually was OK for a few years. I remember him touching 92.
The Angels just realized he was about to be fantastically overpaid.
by eponymous_coward on Aug 9, 2008 8:47 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Roughly, they're indeed similar, though with different approaches
Washburn locates better but he throws nothing but fastballs. RRS has more pitches but struggles more to locate it.

So, Jeff, what do you find sexier, brains or brawn?

Looking at replays of that at-bat, you can clearly see that RRS has that stat written on the inside of pitching hand.

Also, he was pulled after 27 batters, or having faced the entire lineup 3 times
which Mike Marshall believes is generally the best time to pull an SP.
by Gomez on Aug 9, 2008 9:04 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
The best time to pull an SP is when he's constantly wiping sweat away from his brow and taking three minutes to throw every pitch

No wonder Clint Nageotte never got a chance to start.

Obviously it’s going up with a GB and 3 LDs but still quite a ways from suck.

Rich Amaral also had a jump in his OBP at a similar age (or after a similar amount of playing time in the high minors as Willie’s had in MLB). The difference is Amaral spent more time in AAA- I don’t think he stuck until he was 28.

I'm of the same mind.
But he filled the spot opened by Charles Gipson, only he is actually better at the plate. I think. I spent a bit of time in the middle of the season arguing that he’d improve at the plate if he got more playing time at a steady starting position. I think I’m correct, but probably for all the wrong reasons. Stupid math, only makes me feel stupid.

Oh. Sorry I spazzed out! He's more polarizing than politics.
I’m get a little sore when math based fans tell me how many plate appearances he’s had, I always have a knee jerk ‘small sample size’ moment.

And he’s probably better in a lot of areas than Yuni, whom I’ve always disliked for many many reason, none of which I could probably defend.

The true orgin of AIDS is one of those things I never want to learn the truth about
Because all the conspiracy theories are likely way cooler than the actual cause.

AIDS was developed by F-14 flying T-Rex's as a way to destroy the humans of the future so that they could come back from their
hiding spot on Mars and re-take over the Earth.

JI, I've got a bone to pick with that guy.
He posted a link, turned out it was to a legal consent website. I’ve been getting the shit spammed out of me ever since.

Not when your wife sees a legal consent website in your history.
Two days after you hire your first babysitter.

Tell her you were investigating because it seemed so awful.
Then take the babysitter out for a congratulatory first night of body shots.

I'm still smarting. Her anger is a thing of beauty.
I’m trying to remember if this was the same day I fed my neighbours cat through my fan belt. Due to mental trauma, I’m already blocking it all out.

FF3 on a mac. It's incredibly stable tonight.
Usually it’s folded up tent on me about 3 times by now. But who needs a hacking? 14 yo babysitter, pissed off wife = doghouse.

I just noticed this...
But what the hell is up with Ibañez’s splits?
His OPS is over 900 against lefties this year, after being catastrophically shitty the last 2 years.

Yeah,
But it’s odd coming in his oldest season yet.
