Alberto Callaspo Possibly Being Traded

Grilli and Johnson have both been pretty good. Johnson had four really lousy performances in a row, but he's been solid outside of that. I can see demand for both of these guys at the deadline.

Haha, it is kinda funny now you mention it. Well, unless you're the player he did that too. :)

Suddenly Callaspo took one of the hot dogs out of its bun and deep-throated it. Then he took the bun and put it around Aybar’s flaccid penis and poured ketchup on it. Jaws dropped–Aybar was a willing participant. Then Callaspo bent over and pretended to eat the Dominican penis hot dog. When he did that, we all screamed "Noooo!"

That is actually weird now. Never mind, no longer funny.

I've always wished there was a stat for relieft pitchers that's as simple as "scoreless relief appearance %"

ERA, xFIP, etc can all be distorted by a couple of bad outings... but if you consistently come in and get 3 outs without surrendering a run, then I can consistently trust you. Not sure why this isn't a thing

Yea, I know what you mean. I am probably more defensive of Kohn because it impressed me that each appearance despite a few walks here and there he showed very good stuff and gave up no hits nor runs. But then next thing I know Fredi is pulling him from a game well in hand to punish him for a two out walk..

Please put your quotes in quotations or italics. I'm not sure if you were writing a romantic novel or not.

Bill James used to do things like that in his old "Baseball Scoreboard" annual reports. One bad game screws up a guy's stats for a month and one bad week can screw up a guy's stats for the year. I always look at the inherited runner stats, but those really don't say much for set-up guys or closers because they are usually entering a game at the beginning of an inning.

It just makes sense. If you have pitched 9 innings, and gave 4 runs in one of those outing, your ERA would be 4. However, you did your job 89% of the time.

It makes sense. We have QS for starters, holds and saves for closers and setup men. I think there is place for a stat like that.

But then it can't be as simple as did you get the job done. Who were the hitters that you faced? What ballpark did you face them in? Was there sun coming into the hitters eyes (j/k but seriously). There are a million factors to consider and there will never be a perfect stat for anything.
