[ice grillin you]

[Rome]

They certainly have the most Uptons.

[Sgt PSN]

Well played. 

[Rome]

Chad Durbin, 2013 Philadelphia Phillie.

[SD]

Awesome

[BigEd76]

Yuniesky Betancourt too

[Sgt PSN]

They should make a symbolic re-signing like Corey Lidle. Crash and burn baby!

scoff all you want at WAR and sabermetrics etc etc but Rube is like the anti-sabermetrics guy and he's a farging moron.

this team has ZERO players outside of Utley who qualify as high OBP guys and Utley is broken half the year.

I think sabers are overrated, but you're right in how Rube's attitude towards them being completely useless is moronic.

I think at one point he said "I don't want walks, I want production" in an interview

[Sgt PSN]

Did he really?  I can understand someone who never played the game on any level having that mindset, but dook played in the majors for nearly a decade.  If he really said that, then I'm completely on board with tossing him right now. 

[Eagles_Legendz]

I mean you don't exactly need to be a Bill James fanboy to know filling your roster with all slap hitters who dont walk or hit for power is a bad farging idea.

[ice grillin you]

getting on base is not a nerd stat

[MDS]

but not caring about pitchers records are?

[ice grillin you]

wins = important
