Comments on: Dissent in the ranks over Molina-gate http://riveraveblues.com/2009/10/dissent-in-the-ranks-over-molina-gate-18208/ A New York Yankees Blog Mon, 28 May 2012 13:03:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: The Honorable Congressman Mondesi http://riveraveblues.com/2009/10/dissent-in-the-ranks-over-molina-gate-18208/#comment-617992 The Honorable Congressman Mondesi Fri, 09 Oct 2009 21:26:25 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/?p=18208#comment-617992 Just to show that the comment I responded to wasn't necessarily accurate, that it's entirely possible that the offensive gap between Posada and Molina is as great as or greater than the gap between Rodriguez and Hairston. "Dispositive " might be a legal term of art and not a commonly used word. Hopefully my intent was clear enough.

Teix went 0-4 on Wednesday, and the Yankees did OK. I don't see the big deal here. We’re talking about 3 or 4 ABs right? 5 tops, and only if the Yankees are scoring a bunch.

I mean why take the time to look these numbers up if they're not dispositive, as you're so adept at saying, of anything. The only concept I have difficulty grasping is why you got so upset when I called your meaningless stats meaningless. Off topic, is dispositive even a word? Why’d you use them then?

Off topic, is dispositive even a word?

Nothing in my statements should reasonably lead anyone to believe that I think the numbers provided above are dispositive of anything. Relevant, but not dispositive. It's unfortunate you seem unable to grasp the difference between those concepts.

Nope. No kudos, but good save. “Offensively, one could argue it’s actually worse.”

Nope. No kudos, but good save.

Then, explain why these numbers mean anything over the course of one game. If we're talking a full season of Hairston over A-Rod and Molina over Posada, then yes, I get it, but we're talking one game. You'd be better off showing the splits vs Nick Blackburn than throw OPS+ around like you can take that number and apply to a handful of at-bats and prove anything to anyone. Then and only then will you get your kudos, friend! I do apologize for my long-winded tirade though, I got here late and put everything I wanted to say in one post as opposed to spreading it around. This one particular conversation was nested in a much larger that you had also commented on, maybe I need to check the "rules" or something, but I thought it was all fair game.
