I'll try to share links to anything you publish that is interesting - fair warning though, OTM is relatively sabermetric (or at least I'm doing my best to convert most of them), so you might get jumped on if your opinion is defended using "primitive" stats, as Theo would say.

I appreciate that. I figured we were looking at different things. Also, it was an emotional post that lacked any really rationaility. Sometimes I just like to complain and I really felt extremely disappointed by the team this postseason. Youkilis wasn't the only culprit, but we have come to expect him to overcome the gravity of situations and lead with his glove and plate approach. That whole team looked glazed over. I'm already on to the offseason. Rehashing this is aggravating me again! Thank you for following up. Darryl Thanks for following up. I appreciate that. I figured we were looking at different things.

I was just surprised by the calling out of Youk, when his struggles were likely the result of a small sample size. I'm not debating that he had a horrible postseason offensively - but I do think I missed which plays you were talking about the first time I read this, and I apologize for that. The Papelbon mechanics page that I linked to in the same post was the one I should have put more emphasis on - it was really good. Hey, “dude” here.

I don't know what he is talking about either. I don't think we are talking about the same thing. What I saw was a mis-fielded one hopper, a missed scoop on the Buchholz check on the runner (even though they gave the error to Buchholz), and then he whipped the ball in a rush over to Pedroia which was offline and backed up by Gonzalez. Whatever. Youkilis sucked and so did the rest of the offense. I read the comment. I don’t know what he is talking about either. I don’t think we are talking about the same thing.

Dude said you didn't know anything. I'm not sure what he is talking about though. He said Youkilis saved runs when he didn't scoop Bucholtz' throw over. I think he is trying to say that letting the runner advance to 2nd and then throwing wildly to second is saving runs. Also, when are you doing the AL/NL debate on here? Make sure you involve me. _GEORGE DJ,
