Hazelbaker's slugging should be .824

"We really don't need the whole commercial break/warm-up routine every time a new reliever comes into the game. It certainly made sense in 1884 when they only switched pitchers when the starter was attacked by pickaxe or caught consumption, and no reliever was warming up because he was busy gambling and drinking." - JD

I still think I'm going to wake up and say "I shouldn't listen to the podcast before bed, I dreamed the Sox signed a guy from Curaçao named Charlie Zink." - KOC

Or not. I know I entered it in the poll, perhaps it got cut off because of a character limit per answer.

Surprised people aren't paying more attention to sample size here.

If Almanzar goes 0-for-3 with 2 BBs, he has the same OBP, and a higher SLG, as Coyle. When comparing small samples, I like to think of counterfactuals to make up the missing playing time difference. It doesn't take much for Almanzar to better Coyle's numbers given more PT.
