Rest Of Baseball - 2014

[QB Eagles]

Vance Worley finally got knocked around a bit today. He's been killing it lately with the Pirates.

@AnthonyMcCarron: Ichiro's two-run single was the first time in more than a year that Chris Sale gave up an RBI to a LH hitter, according to @EliasSports Wow

So the AL Central is interesting...Tito's Tribe has pulled within 3.5

Adam Dunn acquired by the A's

he's like...anti-moneyball, no?

[MDS]

he walks a lot, so no

and again "moneyball" isnt about vorp or pecota. its about, essentially, going against the grain. for example, before the book came out beane was gaga over college players because their stats were more adaptable than high school kids. then everyone read the book and started going crazy over college players. so beane was like ok im going after high school arms now because the market is low on them.

but nerds

Broxton dealt to Milwaukee by Cincy

He's due $9M next year

[PhillyPhreak54]

So about the A's....swept and now five back

Penny for your thoughts mds?

[ice grillin you]

he will say they went away from the world series winning moneyball strategy and traded for too many guys who aren't A's type players

[MDS]

they lost baseball games. it happens.

but the phillies already disproved the stockpiling of starters strategy. i dont know why beane did it. again, starting pitching is OUT.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Astros fired Bo Porter

I disagree with the move. Apparently he's had issues with Luhnow though

Dillen?

[MDS]

the astros are a joke, but not as big of a joke as the phillies
