Around Baseball 2015 Edition

Excellent timing.

Summary: depending on your outlook, Shelby's performance is either going to regress to his underwhelming peripherals or is underwhelming peripherals are going to catch up to his performance as his confidence increases in his new pitches.

As a biased homer I pick the latter, but if you take the former, then I won't hold it against you.

Someone essentially took our discussion of Miller and posted it as his analysis on fangraphs. Bastard.

After reading the Fangraphs story, I agree. Who's the lurker?

 

[gilesfan]

I certainly want to call that guy out. Never heard of him.

He's a talentless wannabe douchebag.

Who has a legitimate ongoing thing with Jason Heyward over sacrifice bunting.

I actually would not be surprised at all if he posted/lurked on this board.

So Zito is the lurker?

Hopefully no offense is taken, but I have not read or heard of Chop Country until this comment. So no, the information used was not from that website.

Smells of bullocks to me.

Good detective work gilesfan, I'll make sure your subscription rate to this site is on the house the next few months.

 

[Hawk]

Yeah, he's full of **** and if his 'work' was subjected to additional scrutiny it wouldn't surprise me to find more examples of him having pilfered ideas/information.

You don't run a Braves website and not know about the broader digital community, because that's kind of your bread and butter.

 

[The Tariff King]

Unless you're Shanks. Then the only person in the broader digital community who you can relate with is thethe.

 

[keithlaw]

lol is Durino the same guy that whined that the Braves were dumb and racist for sending KK to Mississippi in the last year of his deal?

 

[chop2chip]

Really?

Yeah. He tweeted at Heyward that he should never bunt and Heyward spent the next two days tweeting at him asking him for advice on everything in life. Heyward and he still tweet back and forth to this day and Hey calls him "coach".

 

[The Tariff King]

We need a Ben Duranio callout thread apparently.

 

[Hawk]

Hey Ben ... you smell like Duronions.

 

[The Tariff King]

Well we know Keith Law and our starting catcher lurk and post here.

 

[BRule]

He has had solid FIP/xFIP numbers the last couple of seasons and he is still in his prime years. I think thats a smart deal by the Red Sox. You are always going to need pitching.

 

[gilesfan]

who was he talking about?
