i really wish people like clarkmeister ran teams that would be willing to trade with teams i think are good

i imagine it would go something like this

clarkmeister: [censored] brad lidge he is so bad after pujols made him ruin his underpants
assistant GM: uh you do realize he has 7 thousand strikeouts in 2 innings pitched with a negative 10 era, right
clarkmeister: get him off the team immediately - are either of the izturis kids available for trade? i really like team speed

Hey, you're talking to a guy who firmly believes that a primary reason the Cardinals won the World Series last year is that Isringhausen was hurt.

Yeah, but Isringhausen was legitimately bad last year. Lidge wasn't.

But "Pujols ruined Brad Lidge for life" - MyTurn2Raise ca. 2 months ago.

That's why he kept his job, right? Because of his not-badness?

i do think this forum overacts the other way though (too number/stat based)

I've done enough research in behaviorial psychology to know that those things do have significant effects in everything

You cannot show significance without statistical data. Without statisitical data, it's just faith.

hahaha, totally beat me to it

anyway, it would be really great if houston would trade "old and busted" brad lidge to cleveland for a sack of beans. seriously, i mean, joe borowski has so many more saves, he has to be better, right? let's just do it straight up with houston absorbing some of lidge's salary. yes?

How about the common sense of having played sports and knowing that it has SOME effect. People aren't robots. I don't see how people can completely discount the idea that a player (not just Lidge) might have their performance affected by their mental state-of-mind.

I do believe in stats for analysis, but this is something where I think you have to admit the mental side does play a part in performance, even if we can't track it.
