I’m so hyped for Alex coming back! I think he will bring his winning attitude and remind them all what it takes to be a Yankee. Playoffs here we come!

ham fighter LD% is basically batted balls calculated as line drives, so yeh they categorize types of hits in this game.

Keith w/ that said I hope you post here more often atleast JF and me had a convo or debate on this instead of this calling out a poster in your own way, but do your thing Keith. I’m not going to take it as an offense, I don’t have all the answers but atleast at my mid 20’s when I ask questions it’s to get info. When I started posing this I started w/ don’t take it too seriously several posts before we’ll leave it at that.

Jerk Face I’m sorry man you got to change that handle but I understand that factor that’s why I added LD% to the equation. I get what you mean. P.S. what was the LD % for Bernie’s postseason in 99’ contrast to 00’

“Think back to the disaster we looked like this time last yr. Throwing Clippard and Chase Wright out there.”

No need to think back. Playing the roles of Clippard and Wright in ‘08 are Kennedy and Hughes.

Think back to the disaster we looked like this time last yr. Throwing Clippard and Chase Wright out there. With ARod back, Posada on the way, some 2nd half bullpen help from Cox and Melancon and we’ll be alright. Pettitte has his struggles but he’ll finish the yr with a sub 4 ERA.

When Girardi talks about finding a way to win – I keep thinking of the best way this team can inject some energy – his name is Brett Gardner.

And oh my god you proved mine and WSR point by pointing out Bernie:

1999 – .379 – Actual AVG 342
2000 – .319 – Actual AVG 307

These aren’t batting averages. Bernie lost 60 points on his BABIP most likely due to failing to beat out an extra hit or two, or a pop fly caught that dropped before. Good god. Thats why his average was much lower the next year.
