I just think we become too obssesed with OBP when the guy walks and then clogs up the bases and makes terrible baserunning mistakes. How else can you explain a guy who is on base 38% of the time scoring only 22 runs? When you have guys behind you with OPS's of 900 & 800 this can only be happening if the guy lacks any ability to run the bases.

variance?

early in the year he was on base pretty often and the guys behind him weren't doing [censored] when he got on.

He gets pinch-run for every time he gets on base from the 6th inning on.

I think Burrell gets judged off of how he produces. Normally I would say that BA w/ RISP is a useless stat, but when you see Burrell on a daily basis and you can see his problem.

Burrell actually is hitting well w/RISP this year, with a .910 OPS.

where are you getting .910? phillies.com has it at .764 right now

Umpires are a joke. It's too bad playing games under protest never works, because the Phillies just got screwed

Unless I'm mistaken you can only protest situations where you believe the umpires botched a rule. Given the HR is a judgment call it shouldn't be eligible.

Pretty sure it's a rule that umpires aren't allowed to use instant replay to influence their calls

OMFG! He was out of the box and off the line blocking the throw, shoulda been out twice!
