4 threads for this shitty game.
Damn
...and now I'm here
We almost had 2
and we tuned in in the 18th inning. And it wasn’t our team.
So…. many.
...and now I'm here
To be fair, though,
nothing is REALLY awesome about this.
...and now I'm here
Goofy time?

Looking through those presentations from the conference
Did they ever mention what clustering algorithms they’re using for pitch identification?
by Graham MacAree on May 14, 2008 2:31 PM PDT up reply actions
yes.
MLBAM uses Neural Nets. They also looked at KNN and something else
So all supervised learning then?
I like neural nets but I wonder how well unsupervised Kmeans would do on the data.
by Graham MacAree on May 14, 2008 2:36 PM PDT up reply actions
it does well after the fact, but MLBAM has to do classification in real time
so NN is really their best option.
Fair play
Don’t have to do real-time stuff in genomics so I don’t know what tricks they’d use there.

I had no idea Natscis knew what an algorithm was ;)

There's a hot compsci in second year now
It’s a bit weird.

Every girl at UCLA is attractive.
It’s part of their admissions requirements.
...and now I'm here
I think you of all people would love UCLA
43% Asian, 55% girls, 35,000 students. You do the math.
by seattlebruin on May 14, 2008 2:50 PM PDT up reply actions
I do.
Though UW is 35%, so not far off. But yes, I would love to go to UCLA for grad school.
...and now I'm here
Me either.
They get like 400 applicants for their program, accept only 5, and they are one of the best programs in the country. I don’t think I’m even going to bother applying.
...and now I'm here
Oh well
they let me go for undergrad, so good enough
by seattlebruin on May 14, 2008 2:53 PM PDT up reply actions
I wanted to go to UW, so I was happy.
Still.
I will, however, visit often if I can get some extra $$
...and now I'm here
USC girls >>>> UCLA girls
But all CS girls, no matter the campus, are… well, uh… they have great avatars.
I like girls with brains
so that pretty much eliminates USC
Only because they got to her first
she is a research biologist though and she loves chemistry.
The poster formerly known as Matt.
But she's an Angels fan.
This is like the debate I had with DMZ about whether someone could be smart without being self-critical.
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.
Our compsci department is pretty stereotypical
by Graham MacAree on May 14, 2008 2:47 PM PDT up reply actions
Freaks and geeks with high beard quotient.
And it smelt BAD.
Hence why I stayed at home most days.
I have a very good compsci friend
He pretended to be a historian the whole time.

Today's game is like a V chord followed by a vi chord.
Just when you think it’s over and about to resolve to a nice conclusive I chord, BAM! that damn vi chord shows up and adds another ten measures.

GINGER vs. GINGER UH OH
At least we don't have Zito's contract.
Per mlb.com
Manny Ramirez tracked it down at the wall, high-fived a fan, then spun and doubled up the runner at first.
Did that actually happen??
I read that, too.
One of the few times I will have Sportscenter on and me paying attention to catch a highlight.
No fucking way, badass!
At least we don't have Zito's contract.
I don't care what you all think..I love Manny
I fucking hate you Mariners
At some point do you purposely lose this game?
Just to get it over with before you wear everyone out for the next two weeks?
I like midgets more than I should.
Cheater.
You used to say that to me all the time, now you don’t anymore.

And there's your K
Remember when Chris Shelton dominated at the beginning of last year?
Some people cut themselves. I root for the Mariners.
Remember when the Mariners were playing good baseball?
Yeah, me neither.

Good point
He did leave the franchise with no farm system and a major league club filled with veterans who have all fallen off the cliff.
BB did rebuild our minors pretty well. Just can’t form an actual team to win games.
by AtomicGarden on May 14, 2008 2:38 PM PDT up reply actions
Um. He didn't leave the franchise with no farm system.
Felix, Lopez, Sherrill, Hyphen, Potatoes, Feierabend, Balentien, Baek, Jones, Lowe, Putz, and several others say hello.
Gillick did mess some things up, but he didn’t leave the farm system as barren as people believe…

by PositivePaul on May 14, 2008 2:48 PM PDT up reply actions
Gillick did fine with the intl FA signing (which weren't him anyways)
but he gutted our drafts
Perhaps
He punted too many drafts, I agree, but he didn’t neglect the farm system. He gets credit for Engle’s work—if Bavasi gets credit for Fontaines, especially…

by PositivePaul on May 14, 2008 2:55 PM PDT up reply actions
ok
No farm system is not accurate. I’ll just stick to the big league club being old and crappy without a great backup plan.
by AtomicGarden on May 14, 2008 2:45 PM PDT up reply actions
Completely unlike the team is right now.

So Washburn gets to blow the lead.
He won’t be able to throw Kenji under the bus this time.
All righties v Washburn.
This will not end well.

I'm going to ask again, because I don't think you realized what you just said
Miguel Cairo?
Clutch RBI?
Extra innings?
Think carefully before answering.
Yes.

I forgot we had a daygame what in the balls is going on
Putz at 36 pitches, Washburns throw day… it can’t be, can it?
Cairo drove in the go-ahead run?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
God damn ye baseball gods to HELL!

Y'know, Washburn being used as a one inning pitcher
Makes a shitton of sense. The guy sucks after 90 pitches right? Seems to always do well in his first 25… why the FUCK NOT?

decreases his trade value?
i’m still hoping we dump him
by AtomicGarden on May 14, 2008 2:49 PM PDT up reply actions
Well trade him as a "dominant closer"
Like GS52.
Or just keep him, use him as a super LOOGY (splits against lefties are good) and stick Morrow, Baek, or RR-S in the rotation instead.

What the fuck?
Cairo gets an extra-inning go-ahead RBI
and now Washburn is one out away from a 1-run save?
C'mon Wash it's Gerald Laird
And that was a strike

Washburn woo?
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.

Everything I know is fucking wrong.
Thanks a lot, Wash and Cairo.
Wow. Jarrod Washburn comes in to work a pretty damn efficient inning.
WE STILL SUCK, BUT I’LL TAKE IT.
I hate when we win.
I fucking hate you Mariners
And lost in the whole "Manny high fives a fan" is that the Red Sox still lost.
Rays lead up to a full game.
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.

Let's go Rays!
Hey, is LL still down for a stealth invasion of DRaysBay? Not in a hijacking sense, but more in a “dual citizenship” sense.
winning feels better than losing...
but I still don’t feel very good
Okay then....
That wasn’t how I expected to spend my work day.

It should say:
“Washburn in? Bullpen Mismanaged”
I fucking hate you Mariners
I'm not that insane on the Washburn = Bullpen Master idea am I?
Washburn:
Pitch 1-25: .239 / .302 / .367 – 16.7% strikeouts, 7.5% walks, 2.7% HR
Pitch 25-50: 244 / .295 / ..393 – 14% strikeouts, 6.4% walks, 2.5% HR
It’s after that things go way down hill. Heck, let him throw an inning or two and dominate.
Am I totally bonkers here?

Miguel Cairo to the Mariners blogging community:
Take THAT you haters!
Shit, Angie Mentink just tried to compare him to
Stan Javier and Mark McLemore.
I thought that was Willie’s job… maybe we can ditch him now when people aren’t looking.
