Around SBN: Steve McNair Dead - Former NFL QB Shot and Killed


Fail.

 

Miguel Batista has thrown 41.7% of his pitches for a ball. That's not Dontrelle Willis bad, but it is worse than any single season in Daniel Cabrera's career (41.4% in 2004).

From Aaron Sele in 2005 to Joel Pineiro in 2006 to Horacio Ramirez in 2007 and now Miguel Batista in 2008; this team just cannot escape epic suck in the rotation. Karmic payback for 2001-3 I suppose.

Its not even that he is bad really

Its that the team seems to not realize he is bad. I don’t know if they actually don’t know if he is bad, or they just don’t care?
But Batista seems to think he is injured (Back)

1. What's xOuts?

2. Is this a look into your database?

Expected outs?

Could you explain further?

Also, that’s a nice paint job you’ve got there. Want your database to become an animal?

Needs more color.

Give you're propers to the all time rec leader.

Explain further?

Expected outs is the same as described here. I was including it in the search query to get a feel for a good cutoff. It’s a proxy for IP in a way.

Well

I guess it is that he is bad.

1.77 HR/9

Lots of talent, and I think he’ll eventually be a guy who doesn’t walk many guys at all, but I think he’s going to have problems keeping the ball in the yard.

It's in Family Guy.

It’s not a Family Guy joke. It’s a Yakov Smirnov joke or, to be even more accurate, an Arte Johnson joke.

As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball.

Fail.

Family Guy is Jeff approved.

How's that?

Okay, say I tell a joke that I heard a stand-up comedian tell.

Is it my joke? No. It’s the writer’s joke. Doesn’t mean it’s not still funny, it just means it’s not MY joke.

As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball.

You know what else is an epic failure?

This recording of LRB’s Reminiscing.

YOU PEOPLE WERE MORONS FOR DUMPING JOHN FARNHAM! He was way better than Glen Sharrock and Peter Whatshisface.
