Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

85-74

Cha Baek turns in one of our best starts in weeks. George Sherrill gets credit for a save in which he didn't actually record an out. Jose Lopez goes deep while Grady Sizemore lazily gets caught napping off first. I think we can file this one away as a strong candidate for WTF Game Of The Season.

Biggest Contribution: Cha Baek, +21.0%
Biggest Suckfest: Adrian Beltre, -4.6%
Most Important AB: Guillen funk blast, +18.9%
Most Important Pitch: Lofton triple, -11.1%
Total Contribution by Pitcher(s): +25.6%
Total Contribution by Hitters: +24.4%
Total Contribution by Opposition: 0.0%

(What is this chart?)

In his two starts against Seattle this year, Paul Byrd allowed 22 hits, 11 runs, and five homers in ten innings pitched. This just goes to show that nobody should've been more uncomfortable with Paul Byrd's 4.2 inning April snow-hitter than Paul Byrd.

What is carlos pena's contract status?
I know its a pipedream but it doesn't seem likely the d-rays would pay the big dollars.
You may run like Mays but you hit like shit

Career year.
It's all down hill from here, but yeah, I'd take him.  Left handed power bat, pull hitter, in SafeCo, playing first base.  I'm game.  3 years, tops tho.

Splits (career):

vs LHP:  .237 / .313 / .468
vs RHP:  .256 / .361 / .502

Weird.  Basically turns into a below league average hitter against left handed pitching in terms of average and on base percentage, but somehow maintains the power.  Fluke?  Misuse of stats?  His splits this season are almost even.

I will not make jokes in my sig. I will not make jokes in my sig. I will not...

If those splits were maintained
throughout his career, I'd guess that what's happening is he's turning into a guess hitter against lefties because he can't pick up on their deliveries. That's explain the OBP drop, and if he guesses right once in a while the power should stay pretty high.

Also, I'm pretty sure Pena's still in his arbie years.

Disturbing
Picture of Guillen hugging McClaren. The only decent thing out of this whole saga is that Guillen told him he is too nice and needs to get tough.

Plus, Guillen is back to negotiating for a contract.

Kelley suggest we trade Jones, Wlad, and Clement for Santana. Santa + Felix is intriguing, but still.

I hate this franchise. Love the jerseys, name, the team in general, but hate the franchise. Know what I mean?

Steve Kelley is a fucking moron
and I'm surprised he doesn't get hit by cars when he's crossing the street, he's so hopeless.

In fairness
I did like his video rant about the Sonics.

by Slica on Sep 28, 2007 8:48 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'd do the trade
If we can negotiate a contract extension. The Twinkies wouldn't though.
Wait, what? We refuse to PROgress now? Whatever... Refuse to progress!!

Well I predicted 85 wins at the start of the
season. So I should be happy....right?
These pretzels....are making me thirsty!

I did to
but I don't think I would really be happy unless we get swept the rest of the year.

Is that wrong?

Shop smart......Shop s-mart...... YOU GOT THAT!!!!

Eh
I just plan on mailing them my Johjima jersey, my M's hat, and a strongly worded letter.

So I'm watching BBTN this morning
..and I hear Fernando Vina call John McLaren an awesome manager.

What?

by ThundaPC on Sep 28, 2007 9:35 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Consider the source
This is the show that employs John Kruk as an expert.

Vina is brain damaged
from Albert Belle's forearm to the face.

Question
Has there ever been a game this season where all M's had positive WPA (or negative)?

by Trev on Sep 28, 2007 11:19 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I don't think that's possible
Given the way the math has to work. Unless, say, each of them gets two singles, with the number 9 guy being the last batter of the game, where they all go 2/5 without fielding problems.  Someone has to have brought down the win % by a little.

I may be wrong. But there are only so many ways you can divide up .5

God. Dammit.

by Librocrat on Sep 28, 2007 4:25 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It is possible.
But without double-checking, no, I don't think it's happened yet this year.
