Win–loss record vs Win–Loss

Hey dude, I'm starting to have problems here with these wikipedia editors. Mostly on Félix Hernández's page with the infobox, you know on almost every mlb pitcher page we always shorten Win–loss record to Win–Loss? Well, this is turning into a battle of whether or not it should be shortened to Win–Loss which they don't think they should. Can you help me out here, because for some reason they're just not getting it. – Michael (talk) 15:50, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

I use "Win–loss record", but I don't see why there should be an issue about it. It's just an infobox. There are still 16,597 baseball stubs. I think we should address bigger issues. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 19:19, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

M's minor league players

I don't have a problem with the idea, but we have want to ask the rest of the folks on WP:MARINERS what they think. As for Taijuan Walker, if his page does violate WP:ONEEVENT, I'll probably just create a sandbox for him. We'll see. – Michael (talk) 02:07, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Dead, what's going on with them? – Michael (talk) 02:17, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Not that I know of. – Michael (talk) 05:07, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Should we move Ralph Henriquez, Jr. to Ralph Henriquez because that's what he's imformed as in every media source I can find. – Michael (talk) 06:32, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

3 new articles on Wikiproject: Seattle Mariners

After looking at the top prospects for 2011, I added 3 pages to the list of new articles on WP:MARINERS. One of the three is Taijuan Walker. So ok, maybe it was too early but last offseason you told me we should create articles for any M's Baseball America's top prospects, and Walker is ranked #4 in that category for 2011. The other two I added were Kyle Seager and Guillermo Pimentel, also the top prospects. – Michael (talk) 22:57, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

2010–11 Australian Baseball League season

Australian Baseball League (1989–1999)

News from the diamond

Australian Baseball League:

The regular season for the ABL has come to a close, and the Sydney Blue Sox have finished in first spot earning two guaranteed home finals series. They'll face the Perth Heat in the major semi, where the winner will go straight to the championship series and the loser will have a second chance. The Adelaide Bite will host the Melbourne Aces in the sudden death minor semi. Commiserations to the Brisbane Bandits and the Canberra Cavalry, both on missing out on the finals, and on not getting to play the makeup games from round 9, cancelled because of the Queensland floods.

Perth and Sydney split their season series 4–4, with the Heat sweeping 4–0 playing in Sydney. Adelaide convincingly won their season series with Melbourne 7–1, including a 4–0 sweep in Adelaide.

Dave Stapleton links

I just wanted to let you know that if you're going to move a page to make way for a disambiguation page, it's probably a good idea to update all the links that pointed to the page rather than leave them linking to the disambiguation. I just went through and fixed all the links that should have been pointing to Dave Stapleton (infielder), but wanted to give you a heads-up for future reference. Thanks! -Dewelar (talk) 04:59, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Good point. I guess I'm still a bit rusty from my time off. Thanks. —Brian Halvorsen (talk) 23:19, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
