2008 Phillies Spring Training Thread

[PhillyPhreak54]

I'd put the over/under at 10.

he had ten last year in a half a season

12 is the number

But that was a fluke right? Surely if you think it was and that he sucks you should lay on the 10 number

[ice grillin you]

and surely if you think he doesnt you should be thinking like 15+ wins in a full season if he got 10 in a half season...

hell if hes half as good as last year he ends up with ten this season

[Wingspan]

Eaton won 10 last year.

I am still waiting for you to agree to my terms on the Lohse/Kendrick bet. But you wont, since that would be based on facts.

[ice grillin you]

eaton sucks tho kendrick is a young kid who is only gonna get better


i already agreed to terms...whoever has the overall better year...it should be clear enough where we can agree but if it isnt im willing to allow a panel of baseball people phreak sun and third person to be determined vote on who had the better season

Monday can't get here soon enough.

[SunMo]

just go by certain stat categories...because i sure as hell aren't going to see many Kyle Loshe games


wins isn't a great indicator of a pitchers year....ERA, WHIP, H/IP, etc....establish certain stat categories and whichever pitcher wins the most stat categories wins the bet

[Wingspan]

My proposal was the better 3 of the 4 categories (a 2-2 split is a wash)

ERA
WHIP
Record (by winning percentage)
BAA

Contingent on a minimum of 25 starts. 

A demotion to the minors, or an outright release forfeits the bet and you lose.

$50

[SunMo]

there you go...seems like a good way to go

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

If you don't use VORP, the bet is meaningless.

[ice grillin you]

you cant equally weigh stat categories like this is yahoo...its real baseball...if kendrick wins 17 games cause the phillies mash the ball but closely loses the other three categories while lohse wins 11 games i would say kendrick had the better year

anyway you are gaying up a bet to unheard of nerdian proportions...i dont need this...

phreak help me

Those are the four most relevant stat categories on measuring a pitcher.

If you think Lohse will top Kendrick in 3 of 4...which you have stated so adamently... then you would have no problem with this bet.

[ice grillin you]

im gonna have to pass on this one

[Wingspan]

I am not surprised.

[ice grillin you]

myers was golden again today

5 shutout innings

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

He's perfectly positioned to become the closer again in a couple of months.
