Nice list Rick, Although I'd take Chapman over any reliever.......

saw a MLB show on Chapmans sabr metrics, and how NO ONE is even close to him......

Here's a tid bit of info: No RP, has thrown more pitches at 100mph for Strikes; than Aroldis, His tally is approx 450 pitches for strikes, at 100mph or higher.........the next closest RP to that, has less than 50 strike pitches; over 100mph.

Now we all know, that is a bogus stat in most cases. Anyone throwing at those speeds, has to execute strikes, tho' I do like Kimbrel..........fkn Padres just had to go and add more bullets to their line up. Tho' the Bums beat 'em fair and square...........

1- a come from behind win for the Bums..........LAST YEAR THE BUMS ONL HAD 3 GAME THEY WON, COMING FROM BEHIND..........No wonder they didn't make it to the WS, as well as they had the 4th worst bullpen in the NL......

2- Over History, the Teams who win the most 1 run games, combined with the most come from behind victories, goes to the Series, ala the 86 Mutts......

I hope the once known as *"dem bums" when they played in Brooklyn fall flatly on their collective faces this year...and next year...and.....

* "Brooklynese" --- long time ago.

Just my opinion.

Yep, you did, so Rick, you knew didn't you that Hunter Pence's batting average vs Kerhsaw over Pence's career, is in the lowly, (unbelievable to me & serious Giants Fans) LOW as .07X

Un-fkng-lievable..... I did not know that, til tonight, courtesy of Vin Scully, so you got to blame him, write him, email him, no, Twitter Him, cuz he's to blame for even this Thread of Post...
