39 weeks 4 days ago You're great.

It's amusing how you post as if you actually knew what you were talking about.
39 weeks 5 days ago Betemit is a switch hitter with a massive split discrepancy.

At least this year.  You can't just overlook that- a platoon certainly seems like it's the right call with him at the moment. Yeah, it would be great if the platoon player was someone better than Inge, but the mere idea of platooning him isn't a terrible, undefensible decision.
39 weeks 5 days ago Fielding percentage is just errors.

It's really not at all a good way to measure fielding ability.

Not that I'm saying Inge is the same player he used to be in the field, he's not. He was just average at best earlier this year.

And have people been watching Betemit flail away at left handed pitching?  Why would you want him out there for that?  He looks awful from the right side of the plate to the point where I don't understand why he bothers switch hitting.
39 weeks 5 days ago Yes, the games against lefty starters. Like Leyland said.

Irrational haters such as yourself should like this move- at least this way if he continues to be as futile as he was earlier in the year they can do something about it before the playoff roster deadline. But his AAA numbers against lefties suggest that he earned a shot to prove he can contribute. There's no reason to hope he will, but it's better to find out now.
39 weeks 5 days ago No, they don't.

Inge was an elite defensive third baseman from 2005-2008. That has nothing to do with his whiteness, it's just the numbers. Look up UZR and +/- in the period if you need to be educated. 2009 he had a great first half before his knees blew up, rendering him totally useless since. Your entire argument rests on the idea that he's a middling player, except he wasn't.  He was one of the best in the sport at a particular aspect of the game.
1 year 16 weeks ago Yeah.

It's awful that people are allowed to have opinions with no enforced group think.
1 year 19 weeks ago Bye.

Nobody gives a flip about you.
1 year 19 weeks ago Jesus, you're tiring.

I see why anyone who disagrees with you doesn't bother posting.
1 year 23 weeks ago Good point.

It looks like it belongs on a can of Bud Light instead.
2 years 32 weeks ago Great stuff.

You don't even know the guy, yet you felt compelled to post multiple times now about how much you hate him. Including the always hilariously pathetic internet fight challenge.
