Face it. he is the elite guy in the league right now. If he gets on it's a given that he's an issue. Where does the percentage have to be for us to call him that according to the SSC scale?

 

It's fine that you don't understand stats. I'm done with you arguing stats b/c you're too old school to get it. The game and the teams that use stats are passing you by. You are still arguing about this and you agreed at the time it was dumb to make the 1st out stealing 3rd.

It's above 75%. You were arguing that 75% was good. 14 of the 16 people that stole 30 or more bases last year were above 75%. That kind of makes my point that 75% wasn't elite hold up.

Do you ever read what you post, then go "wow!"? So, let me get this statistical analysis straight. ou railed on him as not elite because he was AT 75%. But as soon as he stole the next one, was he then elite?

He made one baserunning gaffe. You chose to argue when he made one mistake. The Reds have one run today already because of his legs. I don't understand stats? Please. If that was true, I'd prefer to understand the game than to only understand stats.

79%...

 

With a gift b/c he was out at 3rd in this series but Pitt didn't challenge. 80% is approaching what the elite guys do every year. 75% is what the good ones do.

He's a rookie, he will get better. The reward far outweighs the risk.

Technically, he said he shouldn't have the green light to steal because he made ONE dumb decision....

You agreed it was a dumb out to make. That was my point. Below 80% isn't elite. 78-79% is getting there. 14 of 16 with 30 steals were above 75% last year. 75% isn't elite to me. It can be to you. It's amazing you are so short sited you're arguing about him making an out you also agreed was bad.

Glad he stole 3rd today.

No I didn't. I said he shouldn't have the green light to steal 3rd with no outs.

Glad he stole 3rd today.

 

How many outs were there?

I agreed with that when you said it back then.

He's in his first full season as a pro. Whose saying he should be elite?

 

Keep the updates coming. I'm stuck with no radio.

You agreed it was a dumb out to make. That was my point. Below 80% isn't elite. 78-79% is getting there. 14 of 16 with 30 steals were above 75% last year. 75% isn't elite to me. It can be to you. It's amazing you are so short sited you're arguing about him making an out you also agreed was bad.

 

I'm the biggest stat guy on here, and I have no clue why you chose to make such a big deal out of him making one dumb decision. He made one mistake and you crucified him for it, which is ridiculous IMO.

SSC apparently thinks he should be.

Wow, you really think that's it? He made one mistake. You wanted him to have the brakes put on. Get a grip.
