His 27 season he stole 3 bases and was caught 16 times lol. Career 74 stolen with 72 caught.

That may also be a record...

Good grief. Adam Dunn probably had a better percentage.

An 8 team playoff is the most obvious thing ever. The five Power 5 champs, one G5 selection, and two at-large selections. I've said it a million times on this board and I'm convinced it would be glorious. You have the four quarter final games all on New Years Day. They can rotate access bowls. A hyp...

Speaking of dead folks, where is Sully? He was last active in Sept 2018

No Offense, But Adam Ottavino Would Make Babe Ruth Look Like A Sack Of Pig horsefeathers I’ll be damned. The video of Ruth they linked in that story was a video I created like ten years ago. Some wanker stole it and put it on their channel apparently. That comment is funny, but not really accurate....

i'd vote for him, but worth noting his career road stats are basically Mark Grace plus a dash of SLG great hitter regardless but specifically his power output largely a byproduct of Coors That's a really good comparison actually. Incidentally, Helton wore No. 17 because of Gracie . puke you leave t...

I'm thinking this year's class is going to be Rivera, Mussina, Halladay, and Edgar.

I'll be interested to see what numbers Pettitte and Helton get.

Does Todd Helton get voted in? I think he eventually gets in, but will he be voted in? He's 19th All-Time in OPS and 19th in Doubles. 133 Career OPS+. Once had a single season where he led the league in hits, doubles, RBI, BA, OBP, SLG, OPS, and Total Bases. He was also a very proficient fielder. Ca...

I've always been a "big Hall" guy, who thinks almost every borderline case should probably get the nod. So I'm trying to look at this bizarre election of Harold Baines and think about what it could mean for guys like Todd Helton, Gary Sheffield, Kenny Lofton, Jim Edmonds, Andruw Jones, Fr...

while i find much of the HoF debate stuff really tiring - i never in a million years would have guessed harold baines would have gotten in Indeed. The guys on the Effectively Wild podcast (the BP podcast) have never really been much to talk about the HOF stuff, but in their latest pod they were pre...

More stats showing the absolute absurdity of this selection: According to Baseball Reference, his HOF Monitor score is 67. This ties him with Mookie Betts (already), Javy Lopez, and Brian McCann. Random players with higher HOF Monitor scores: Vinny Castilla, Paul O'Neill, Giancarlo Stanton, Carlos L...

Thanks guys!

Pie Traynor is the only position player in the HOF with a lower WAR (36.3) than Baines (38.7). Some notable differences between the two though: Traynor: 1941 games, 6 Top 10 MVP finishes Baines: 2830 games, 2 Top 10 MVP finishes Your Lowest 10 WAR's of players voted into the HOF by the BBWAA: - Pie...

Hugh Freeze just signed a 5 year deal with Liberty to be their HC. Match made in heaven: Southern Baptist hypocrite gets to now coach at a school founded and run by Southern Baptist hypocrites. Their AD is the AD from Baylor when they covered up a horsefeathers ton of rapes by football players. Pre...

Pretty cool from a historical perspective that there is video footage of a future POTUS being rescued by a submarine at sea after being shot down.

I’m not sure how the 860 yards Ole Miss tacked up against Louisiana-Monroe is really relevant either. Counting total yards and ranking teams accordingly is beyond archaic. You’re already backing off with the SEC schedule caveat. Of course if you limited their offense to the ranked SEc teams they av...

Ole Miss was the what now? Exactly what I said. https://www.cfbstats.com/2018/leader/national/team/offense/split01/category10/sort01.html Narrowly edging out North Texas's elite offense. Because North Texas played an SEC schedule? Not sure why they are relevant. If someone said Bama was a Top 10 of...

I stated a fact. Then showed the stats to back it up. Ole Miss were Top 10 in total offense (9th). Th...

so the Sooners should be able to score enough to at least cover. Man, I dunno. Oklahoma has a terrific offense, but Bama can really strangle teams at times. Ole Miss, bad as they were, were a Top 10 offense and only scored one touchdown (on the first play of the game) and LSU and Mississippi State ...

Yep. I've never seen a more dominant team in my life. They are exceptional on both sides of the ball.

Kliff will fit in well in Hollywood. He's going to have a good time.
