vs. TIGERS, 5/15

[Sessh]

With Cleveland's loss today to the Twins, there are now only five AL teams above .500. If Toronto wins, it goes back up to six.

Brian Roberts. He used to be an Oriole when they sucked and nobody watched them.

And he used steroids.

[O's84]

Nice Adam.

[Malike]

You mean 316/385/439/823 right?

Or do the innings he pitched last year (more than this year year's sample size) not count?

You do know that LHB put up a 555 OPS against him last year right?

I don't want to get all statty in the game thread but when you post misleading information...

According to the platoon splits for 2016 on BB-Ref the numbers I listed are what they think are correct.

[Can_of_corn]

Leonards eye was almost shut. He needed a knockout. He got one in the next round.

Have you seen his sneaker commercial?

He looks great.

I was wondering if O'Day and Britton were available. Both have been pitching a lot lately.

This is a leisurely Sunday game.

And he used steroids.

One time. And he didn't inhale.

I prefer Ringo's.

[Chavez Ravine]

He also said it to Muhammad Ali in between the 8th and 9th rounds when he fought Ken Norton at Yankee Stadium in 1976.

Someone should make an Angelo Dundee app that would provide context appropriate motivational prodding and occasional cut work.

Right, but you didn't say you were using information from 21 plate appearances while ignoring what he did last year.

Considering the sample size I think using the cumulative data from 2015-2016 is likely to be more representational of his ability.

At the least you should have specified the data sample because it sounded to me as if you were drawing on his lifetime numbers.

[scOtt]

I prefer Ringo's.

Yeah! He can still slap the skins!

[O's84]

I bet Davis wishes he had that AB back. Had some good pitches to hit. Oh well, next man up.

[Can_of_corn]

I prefer Ringo's.

Just saying dude looks sharp for almost 60.

Someone should make an Angelo Dundee app that would provide context appropriate motivational prodding and occasional cut work.

His biggest move of all was when he pushed then Cassius Clay off of the stool and into the middle of the ring prior to the start of the 5th round in 1964, when Clay/Ali had been blinded by liniment used by Sonny Liston to stop the bleeding on his cuts.
