I didn't hear anything there that was wrong
It’s true. People on the east coast simply live and breathe sports a LOT more than people on the west coast. Yeah we have diehards out here, but not nearly in the same way they’re out there.

I lived in California for 10 years, and I never got the impression that it was
“cool” to live and breathe spectator sports. My friends watched them, but they were a lot more interested in participating in individual recreational activities like skiing, windsurfing, surfing, biking, etc.
In New York, people did ski and the like but they were a lot more passionate about spectator sports than about recreational activities. In St Louis, people live and breathe the Cardinals and maybe get some exercise when they feel like it.

Yep
It wasn’t a dig on the west coast at all. It’s just the reality that there’s a lot more going on on the west coast. Lots to do, great weather, so you’re going to have less time to devote to watching sports. Doesn’t mean people out here don’t love their teams, there’s just a ton of downtime on the east coast that gets filled up by watching instead of being active.

Well for a start it's more interesting to watch. Every game means more.
It’s much more tactical than baseball. Plus you have the athleticism and physicality of the sport.
There’s simply more to a football game than a baseball game.

More interesting to watch is debatable.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704281204575002852055561406.html
Read that. If you don’t feel like it, it boils down to the fact that a 3 hour broadcast shows about 11 minutes of actual football. The rest is huddles, replays, and commercials. Not all that exciting.
What you fail to understand in your joyless myopia is that baseball is the key to life-- the Rosetta Stone, if you will. If you just understood baseball better all your other questions your, your... the, uh... the aliens, the conspiracies they would all, in their way be answered by the baseball gods.
There are lots of stoppages?
This is news?
How much time is spent with nothing happening in a baseball game? 70% of it?

30% is better than 6%.

I don't really see it being more tactical
And most outcomes are relatively predictable too. Short season, maybe a win is weighted more, but I don’t really see it as meaning more. They play so infrequent that you wind up tuning out and not caring about what’s going on between games and then you’re supposed to jump back in and give a shit? Meh. And as for the athleticism and physicality. Both sports have it, just in different ways.

They play so infrequent?
You mean once a week?
That’s like most sports. And yes it is more tactical. Much like basketball, baseball is simply about putting your best hitters into the lineup and hoping the pitcher misses his location.
"Nah, you look like Elijah Wood." - danmerqury
Yes, once a week is infrequent. Most sports play more than once a week.
As for tactical. Every pitch is a cat and mouse game of guessing where the batter expects it, where the pitcher might throw it, what pitch is expected, what pitch will be thrown. Whether the pitcher will succeed in throwing it the way he expects it. Whether the hitter can hit it even if he knows what’s coming. That’s ignoring the positioning of the fielders, what the runners on base might do. Football? You line up and run your routes. There may be more to it than, that, but not much.

No they don't. Perhaps in America they do, but not in the rest of the world.
There’s waaaaay more to it than ‘you line up, you run your routes’.
"Nah, you look like Elijah Wood." - danmerqury
What other sports are you referring to then?
Hockey, basketball, baseball. All play more than once every 7 days. Hell, all play more than 16 measly games too. A lot more.

I just don't get why hockey isn't more popular.
It takes more skill than baseball, football, soccer, ETC, plus it is just as physical as any of them.

There’s no argument there. None. Hell, it almost outdraws baseball in America. And in China?
Hockey takes more skill than any other sport in the world
Plus the physicality of football. I’m always really surprised it isn’t more popular than it is.

I'm not saying any differently
I’m just saying that following a sport that throws down a ton of off days keeps you out of things. Can make you lose interest quickly.

Maybe it keeps you out of things,
but I think America is pretty well set up for Sundays being the big day. The rest of the week is anticipation toward that day. Obviously, if people were losing interest, it wouldn’t be the juggernaut that it is compared to baseball.
You want to talk about people losing interest? 162 games doesn’t exactly make you yearn for anything or be sorry that you missed yesterday’s game. At least for people other than us.

I'm just explaining where I differ from him in his belief
that football is better than baseball. It was one detail. I like a marathon better than a sprint. I prefer something that’s going to keep me entertained for 162 days rather than 16. I’ve seen the commentary for football between games. They basically say the same BS 1000 times. They could do it all in an hour and be done with it. It’s all just filler to me. Yeah, clearly there are a lot of people into, doesn’t make it a better sport. Just a more popular one.

True
But at least there’s an actual game being played regularly enough to actually keep your interest. You don’t have to listen to the meaningless repetition, you can watch the game. Football, all you have is that repetition because there is no game.

Only if you define 'game' as the time between the hike of the football and the stoppage of the play.
If you want to do it that way, then you you have to limit your count in baseball to when the ball leaves the pitcher’s hand to when it hits the catcher’s glove or is caught in the field of play, or the runners are deemed safe. I’m pretty sure that would be a low percentage.
by LoneStranger on Sep 12, 2010 2:35 PM PDT up reply actions
No, I'm talking about the time between
One game ends and the next game begins. In baseball, it’s been 12 hours and 36. In football, it’s generally 7 days.

Theres approximately zero character involved in football.
Where’s footballs Bill Lee, Dock Ellis, Manny Ramirez, Eric Show, Jim Bouton??? Its just a dumb jock game. I like baseball because its more humanistic than any other sport on earth. Fat guys can be great at it, thinkers can be great at it, as well as the jocks. it calls on people completely at random. Baseball is the only sport on earth worth following because of that. Baseball is a bigger picture of society at large, its simply more important than some 300 lb steroid addled jock with an IQ of 90.

hes always had high babips though
his breakout year it was .356 and hes always been over .300.
even if it calmed down to .320, Cust’s OPS would barely be affected, whats 20 singles mean to his value? Not a lot.
Well, his luck-neutral xBABIP is in the .320's.
.400 BABIP right now? If you regress that to .320, you’re losing, say 30 points of average, which means 30 points of OBP and 30+ points of slugging.
Of course, .240/.370/.410 is still pretty valuable.
thats what im sayin.
I was guesstimating and only using his newfound “singles power” as whats been the cause of his absurdly high BABIP. Take away 20 singles from him and his BABIP would be more realistic, yet it wouldnt really effect his overall value.
Then again he could be so good at hitting he could be deliberately hitting those singles to places where defenders cant get to them….
He did single to LF yesterday

Plus, I'm pretty sure Cust hits balls harder than your average player.
Which would mean his xBABIP is lower than it should be.
OTOH he probably doesn't get a lot of IF hits

i agree maybe he shouldnt start everyday, but he would be nice to pinch run or come off the bench
by bruceXbandit on Sep 12, 2010 1:45 PM PDT up reply actions
I'm fine with that.
Rajai as a defensive replacement/pinch runner guy. But not as a regular starter.
I agree with this, but he's going to get expensive in arb for a bench player
and, there aren’t really that many slow runners on the team.
If he’s nontendered and brought back for cheap, then good. But there are better ways to spend the arb award.
Needs moar dingerz.
true, like anything it depends on the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

yeah,
and i have a strong feeling multiple guys with the same skillset will be hitting the non-tendered FA market this offseason.

He is unbelievable fast though.

Killing an animal to eat, using their hide to clothe yourself- I don't do it but don't have a problem with
others doing so. Killing an animal for fashion only, or sport- that is sick, to me.
