Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

I just have a bad feeling he will get traded. He's become one of my favorite guys to watch and I'll be sad if we send him off and let Mallex take his place, even if it's a lopsided deal.
that .317 average against lefties really does suck doesn't it?

sometimes I wonder if folks are just fans of the Braves or fans of themselves being right.. I have my opinion on the matter..
I just wonder if this guy was even born when I saw my first professional baseball game. Which was at Tiger Stadium in 1959.......
This is how I'm feeling right now.
Seriously, Ender has hit RHP better than LHP over his career (which is kind of a "duh"), but the most noticeable difference in the splits comes from the power differentials. His BA against LHP is a respectable .271 with an isoOBP of .039. Against RHP, the figures are .312/.348. Better average and slightly better iso. It's in his SLG that a considerable differential shows up: .411 against RHP and .324 against LHP (and he has yet to hit a HR off of a LHP). A lot of that difference has melted in 2016, but I think it's safe to say his approach is different against LHP and it has worked this season.

He didn't suck against lefties in the minors (didn't rake them mind you, but held his own and wouldn't need to be platooned based on those numbers), so the only numbers that actually say he's struggled against lefties are 135ish ABs last year. He hit .275ish against them in 2014 and of course has hit them well this year. There is far more evidence at this point that he can be decent against lefties than there is that he can't hit them.

Now I know you of all people aren't quoting BA as the stat to prove Ender can hit LHers. I hope he can, but a career OPS of .636 over 400+ PAs (including these good recent ABs) tells me more than 100 ABs this year.
All of you up in arms about me ribbing depley need to chill out. His and clv's posts were directed at me and others who claim Inciarte should be platooned, so I shot back and poked fun. Seriously, do you guys hang out with men in real life? If you can't take that kind of **** talking you would break into tears at a bbq playing cornhole or horseshoes. You would drop your wine coolers, grab your scarf you left at the door, hop in your Prius, and drive home bawling like a baby.
Grow a pair of nuts, my god.

So what do you do when you're out playing some semi-competitive activity with other males and the trash talking starts? You whine and cry? Or you just avoid any scenario where your feelings might get hurt?
Seriously, stop being a little bitch and let things roll off your back. A little trash talking shouldn't make you so upset.
Not sure about the rest of you guys, but I tend to steer clear of the pretentious crowd when choosing my friends. Maybe my nuts are just old fashioned like that.
