Fred T.

STL FANATIC Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Beltran's a weak comparison too. He's played in exactly one postseason in his career, and those were the last games leading up to his chance to cash in on a major contract (which he did).

fiasco! Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Albert Pujols holds the cure to AIDS, it's called his bat. Albert Pujols is better than Chuck Norris, Mr. T, David Ortizzzzzz, KITT, and David Hasselhoff combined. LinkedIn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, how far up your rear did you go to pull that excuse out? Someone points out that they have better stats than Pujols, and you'll use any excuse, from "He's played more games than Albert" to "contract year". You defend him like he's your husband.I'll bet you $100 that you'll exclaim "Pujols would've won if he hadn't been injured" if someone other than Pujols wins the NL MVP.

Seriously, how far up your rear did you go to pull that excuse out? Someone points out that they have better stats than Pujols, and you'll use any excuse, from "He's played more games than Albert" to "contract year". During his career Pujols has played in 37 postseason games, with 137 AB, whereas Beltran has 12 postseason games, and 46 AB's, both of which are at, or just shy of, 3/1 ratios. By your reasoning a player who played in 162 games over the course of a season could have his stats compared to a player who played in only 54. You have to know that you wouldn't be able to straight up compare these two players statistically and get anything worthwhile from it.Stl Fanatic is right, it's a tremendously weak comparison.

You missed the point.STL Fanatic stated that Beltran has put up higher averages than Pujols solely because of the fact that Beltran was playing for a new contract. STL Fanatic can't accept the fact that someone has better postseason numbers without resorting to digging up bullflop excuses. Beltran's goal in the 2004 postseason was the same as Pujols': to win the World Series, and Beltran put up better numbers than Pujols did. No one gives a crap about their contract status when they're playing postseason baseball.End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Not end of story, Hedley, because you're wrong.I was defending Ortiz every bit as much as I was defending Pujols when I said the Beltran comparison was weak. It's completely unreasonable to call a guy who has participated in 12 playoff games a better playoff performer than a couple guys who have consistantly put up big time numbers. The contract note was meant to be just a side note (but Beltran did pretty much play the best baseball of his career with that contract on the line).While all that, save the AIDS cure, is true joel, that was an unnecessary sarcastic response. What I said about the comparison being weak was no different than what ITE said about the Bernie comparsion being weak.I'm open to someone showing me a guy who's better than Albert and Ortiz in the playoffs as I never made any claim about Albert being the best playoff performer. All I said was you can't use Beltran as a fair comparison. It's too small a sample size.I'll have to wait and see about the MVP. Right now Albert deserves it even with his injury, but that could change. He's in a mini-slump right now, and there's enough guys on his tail that he might fall behind. There's a pretty decent chance Albert would have put up some really monster numbers, maybe even record numbers had he not been set back with injuries, but saying Albert would have won the MVP had he not been hurt would be pointless. Injuries are part of the game, and most of the time to put up numbers deserving of the MVP award, a player has to stay healthy.** I apologize to anyone who read the above post. It has no merit because the Cardinals are my favorite team. ** JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I said about the comparison being weak was no different than what ITE said about the Bernie comparsion being weak. I agree that the Beltran comparison was weak because never in his life could Beltran have a stretch like that again in the playoffs. The Bernie Williams comparison was weak because he came with stats that take time to accumulate. Of course Bernie's going to have more RBI's or HR's when he's played in over three times as many games.We're not talking better stats, anyway. We're talking about who, when the game is on the line late, is the best player in the league -- who, with one out and down by one with a runner on, is most likely to come through. Without a doubt, it's David Ortiz or Albert Pujols. Ortiz, though, has the more impressive track record in that spot. But Bernie isn't even in the conversation.

Your pretty much right on your assessment of who's gonna pick who I think. No one's dismissing it. You are absolutely right about Beltran. He has been in the playoffs once, so you can't compare him with Pujols and Ortiz. And you can't compare those two to Bernie Williams.

BCBoy Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Carmona is a joke. With two outs in the 9th, he hits the next two batters only to walk Youkilis. Bases loaded, he sees Big Papi on deck, and not wanting to give another one up to Ortiz, he just lets Loretta play hero. Great way to avoid Ortiz...

Way to back out of the argument. You realized you're an idiot and you sidestepped. Kudos on that one. Found this latest stat in Bill Simmons' latest column on Page 2. Is there ANY player in the league that can even touch this stat? Bernie? Albert?Since the start of 2005, Ortiz has come to the plate 13 times with a chance for a game-ending plate appearance. He's made an out only once -- and he went on to win that game in the 12th inning. That number jumps if you include the 2004 postseason. He's had the most walkoff hits in any Four year span (and he's pretty much done it in a two year span) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
