Rob Neyer: What Do You Believe About Baseball That You Can Not Prove

[weams]

I believe in Mark Reynolds and Luke Scott when in a hot streak.

I believe the Foul pole should be named the Fair pole, cause when a batted ball hits it, they rule it a Home Run.

[El Gordo]

I also believe in the sadistic sense of humor of the baseball gods.

[slakattack]

I believe too many people hide inside of baseball statistics and discount that this is ultimately a game of biomechanics and physics played by emotional humans, not an exercise in statistical predeterminism.

I also believe in instant karma.

I also believe that it is going to get you..

[Big Al]

I believe the game still needs a hard salary cap. That's what's best for the game!

+1 Amen

I believe Buck is the best manager in the game and is worth about 5 wins more than the average manager.

I believe Joseph is a more valuable all-around player than Weiters due to his handling of the pitching staff and pitch framing.

[Aristotelian]

I believe that baseball is morally, intellectually, and aesthetically superior to any other sport.

I believe there are several workhorse SP's in the big leagues who could easily be giving their teams 280-300 IP a season with no ill effects to their arms or performance - innings over and above the 220 they are asked to give now that would be significantly better than what those teams are getting from their 5th starters. I also believe there are a variety of relievers or current back end SP's who could be converted to relief who could be going multiple innings a couple times a week and pitching 150 or so relief innings - again of a much higher quality than what those teams are getting from their lesser relievers who are currently soaking up those innings.

I was going to post this. I agree.

Tony Tarasco would have caught that ball.

Matt would have come up with the ball.

Cito sucks.

Cito sucks.

I have seen plenty of proof.

Well that's just a fact.

That is funny.
