    Re: Nady might be done for the year

    What in the **** are you talking about?? The more plate appearances, the more chances to strike out which is the most likely outcome for Swisher. This isn't hard to figure out. 4 AB's in four games?? That's what makes no sense! He pinch hit in four games? Is that what you are trying to tell me? If you are basing this off games, then no wonder! No logical sense is thinking his average cannot increase with more plate appearances.

    Yes he has more chances to strike out. But you can't have more chances to do something AT A HIGHER RATE. That is what makes no sense. I used the 4 games because that was my example of him playing less

    I think a division with Tampa and Boston has much better pitching that Detroit and Cleveland, so that can lead to more strikeouts

    Swisher K % vs AL East Opposition:

    Baltimore: 25% 9 K/ 36 PA
    Boston: 30.4% 7 K/23 PA
    Tampa: 26.8% 11 K/ 41 PA
    Toronto: 46.7% 14 K/ 30 PA

    How could someone not strikeout at a higher rate given more chances? Given 25 extra plate appearances, he could strike out 23 times thus being a higher rate.

    Yes but a) he has the same chance to strike out at a less rate too or b) he will strike out at his career rate, or something around that, which is the most likely chance. That's why it's his career rate.

    This has to be the ******* dumbest shit I have ever argued. We are arguing over 5 ****ing percentage points between Dunn and Swisher who are both strikeout artists!! One plays more than the other!! Good ****ing christ!! Give Swisher the plate appearances Dunn has and they are almost identical in that department!!!!

    How does one play more than the other?? Swisher played in 2 less games in 2007, and 5 games less in 2008. That sounds like the same to me. And when 27% is one of the top rates in the MLB, 5 percentage points is quite a lot actually

    So now we went from makes no sense to a "Yes"?? Wonderful. Glad we got that out of the way. He could do a lot of things but since he doesn't play as much as Dunn, we'll have to ****ing leave it at they both aren;t that great and strikeout way more than they should. Again, Dunn strikes out around 30 more times as Swisher in around 30 more plate appearances.

    PLATE APPEARANCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! DUNN HAS PLAYED MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just because Swisher pinch hits doesn't mean he had the same 4 ABs Dunn did! Plus Dunn has how many more seasons on Swisher??? End this retarded shit now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    O and for the record, Dunn had 9 more PA's in 2006 than Swisher, and 27 LESS PA's in 2007

    Funny. I laughed at his rankings too until I saw his top 2 were ESPN's top 2 as well.
