Dan Fox, SOSH, JD Drew, Batted Ball Charts

By Tangotiger, 04:03 PM

Take one hard-working and generous Dan Fox, combine them with crazy Redsox fans who look at the spread of balls hit by JD Drew, fans who also overlap Dodger Stadium over Fenway Park, to see what happens. Or, take other crazy Redsox fans, who analyze all of JD’s long balls, and he says:

The overall net effect was -2 HR’s, -3 Triples, +8 Doubles and -3 Flyouts. So, you lose 17 bases and pick up 16 - practically a wash.

"Think of this place as something like a college classroom. We’re in charge, we pick the topics, we set the rules, and we try to foster as much intelligent discourse as possible. If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we're not going to be for everybody, and we're not going to try to appeal to the masses." —USSM
