New York Yankees

[scrock25]

Average of his last three seasons played is 88.3. I'll lower it to 85 for you.

Over 85 I win, under 85 you win, 85 push (obvs).

Good deal?

If so, what are we betting?

[pathetic]

Last 3 year average was him playing 3b. He'll be DHing, right?

[scrock25]

That's correct.

i meant if he actually played enough games to have an average. like how when a batter comes up and they show last year's stats for like the first 3 weeks of the season. he would have to have more than that amount of time played.

[Ascf33]

pathetic is going to have a shiny new avatar in October.

[scrock25]

Is this a done deal? Have we agreed on a # of games?? Have we agreed what we're betting??? I don't take that as a confirmation from Robin above.

[rickyh24]

arod sucks.

[scrock25]

Pretty much

Every year a buddy and I make a friendly bet that involves 4 individual player stats, loser pays for a night out drinking. For example they might be bets like will Rivera have an ERA under 2.00 (I think he went with the over on this for 8 years running and lost 7 damn times!), Will Pedroia hit 20 or more home runs, will Tanaka win 15 or more games, Will Lackey have an era under 4.00, etc, etc. He is a Sox fan so the tie breaker is which of our teams finishes higher in the standings.

Generally for hitting bets we do not use games but rather AB's - if a player does not have enough AB's to qualify for a batting title the bet is null and void. The one time I recall a bet being nixed was the year Youkilis was with the Yankees, we bet on how many walks he'd have but he got hurt so quick we had to cancel the bet and ended up tying that year because he had like 22 AB's.

Games played is fine. Let's set it at 95 since he'll be DH. Scrocks?

What are we betting? $, avatar, pink slips?

[scrock25]

95 is fine with me, as is avatar - duration for loser?

[scrock25]

This is going to piss me off if I lose the large version of my current avatar because of fucking A-Rod.

Oh for fucks sake please do not contact that tool!

[YankeesDMB41]

Whoever has the over will win...if he's a full time DH, and is striking out 3 times a game, hes not doing much moving

Ok, so deetz:

Bet between pathetic (Robin) and scrocks
The bet is an O/U based on official games played for Alex Rodriguez
The O/U is set at 95 games
If Alex Rodriguez plays over 95 games then scrocks wins
If Alex Rodriguez plays under 95 games then pathetic wins
If Alex Rodriguez plays 95 games then the bet is a push and neither scrocks nor pathetic wins
The bet is for an avatar of the opponents choice to be worn until Opening Day 2016

This is agreeable, Jesse?

Martin Prado and David Phelps to Marlins for Nathan Eovaldi and Garrett Jones (plus a Pitching prospect)

[Dannyyankou]

I actually really like that trade.

[jackisback24]

no way Fraud makes it to 95.

[pathetic]

I think he'll play around 60 so ya I'll take the under on 95

[Dannyyankou]

Very classy move by the Yankees.

agreed. not surprised to see him doing well outside of the bronx, he usually had better numbers away anyways

[Ascf33]
