Eminem may be the greatest of all time not counting Relapse.

See, Eminem….he’s tough. I like him, but I’m not a huge fan. His hard songs like Til I collapse and Cinderella Man are great, but all of his emotion shit gets annoying.

Drake is pretty good; Thank Me Later was hot. He definitely came out of like nowhere.
My favorite has to be T.I. for sure. He’s just a great rapper all around. I also love Lil Waynes wordplay, that man is sick.
The fact that so many of you like rap...
Hurts my soul.
Especially when you hear these names tossed around as “best ever.”

I never really liked oldies, and most of the “rock” music today is trash. There are a few good bands, but most of it anymore is either screaming into the mic or skinny little dudes with high pitched voices.

But I’m a huge electronic music fan, so you can see my disdain for rock/rap.

I agree. You can have a shitty BABIP because you hit weak grounders all the time.
MUST RECONFIGURE STRIKEZONE PARAMETERS TO ACCOUNT FOR FALLIBLE HUMAN UMPIRE - CyborgHanson48
That’s when the context comes into play. You can’t look at BABIP in and of itself and say “oh, this guy is getting unlucky, because his BABIP is lower than the league average”.
You have to look at the player’s unique BABIP, then what he is doing, and make a determination.
Great example is Troy Glaus in April. Dude was crushing the ball – right at people. His BABIP was about 100 points lower than his career average. His May was no surprise to those who believed in that statistic.

ANY stat alone is stupid (or darn near)
BABIP is a great evaluative tool when you know how to use it- i.e. looking at it in a package of stats that includes things like line drive percentage, ground ball percentage, even strikeout numbers, even though K numbers seem to have nothing to do with it at first glance. For example, when Troy Glaus had an awful April, a smart person could divine that he was exceptionally unlucky due to a career-low BABIP despite the fact his LD% was where it should be, indicating that there was a good chance that in the future more of those LDs would fall in and his numbers would rebound. Looking at Nate McLouth, however, even though his BABIP was equally putrid, you would not conclude he was due for a rebound because his LD% was equally bad, and his astronomical GB rate and sky high K rate tell you that not only is he swinging at a ton of bad balls, but that even when he makes contact it tends to be of the weak variety. All those weak grounders don’t scream “comeback waiting to happen.” So you have to know how to appropriately apply BABIP to know the difference in Troy’s bad luck and McLouth’s skill decline.

Not taking a side. But he hit it when we were already up 5-0. If he K’s there we still have a huge, albeit it not insurmountable, lead.
"If I was Freeman I would hope to be traded because apparently Troy Glaus injured and in a slump is better than Freeman healthy. Sucks for Freeman kid deserves to be on the big league team."
So, hypothetically speaking, say someone gets an RBI groundout to make the score 1-0 in the 3rd inning…then, in the 8th or 9th inning, someone hits a grand slam – the person who had the earlier groundout has a higher WPA?

I fell asleep in front of the TV before the game started. Chip woke me up twice when we started scoring.
The base paths belonged to me, the runner. The rules gave me the right. I always went into a bag full speed, feet first. I had sharp spikes on my shoes. If the baseman stood where he had no business to be and got hurt, that was his fault. -Ty Cobb

not with a 9 run lead he wouldn’t
you learn a few things in 20 years of pro ball – like take the easy outs with a big lead, and don’t let a costly error give a team the big inning they need to get their juices flowing.
Remember the Brooks walkoff slam game vs. Cinn? That was all set up by dumb defensive plays.
Beautiful
nice work JJ and nice turn Brooksy.

The braves didn't choke - Bobby Cox did. He should've never been hired - much less still be destoring the Braves. Joe Torree's "Ace" was Rick Mahler. Just think what he could've done with those 14 division chamnpionships and Greg Maduxx, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz if he would've had the chance. And when he did have the chance, he outmanaged bobby Cox's @#$% at every turn. Or have you forgottenn that the Braves became the first time in baseball history to lose the World Series whenever they lead 3- 1? And whom did the lose too? The superior Joe Torre managed New York Yankess - that's who.

Braves have only twice allowed more than two runs in the last 8 Games (including today)

The 9th was the first time since July 31 the Braves gave up more than 3 runs.

yeah
but he must’ve wanted out… 106 isnt that many he’s started all year, his arm had to be sore or something. crisp doubled behind pennington, its 4-1

If Bobby was going to move Heyward down, I think he would’ve done it already.

16 hits - WOW - I could get used to this.

Just think, in 3 separate innings this game, we scored as many runs as the Braves + Dodgers scored in the last 2 games combined!

That's the way to win ballgames.
Although if we could average 4 runs/game I could live with that the way we’ve been pitching.
