It's hard to explain it to people
-It is almost never worth bunting with any sort of competant hitter up
-It is one worth trading outs for bases in a situation will 1 run WILL win the game
-1st to 2nd almost never helps unless you are bunting with a pitcher
-2nd to 3rd almost never helps unless there 0 outs and a terrible hitter up
-squeezes are good because trading an out for a run is usually an acceptable trade off

Also with Ichiro up behind him.
Ostensibly, you’re bunting the runner over to set up a sac fly. Ichiro isn’t a guy you want trying to hit sac flies. And with Cairo behind him, if Ichiro doesn’t get the runner in, you’re boned.

Is this possibly Riggles thought process?
Ichiro pounds a lot of balls into the ground and beats them out, with runners on in front of him, they are usually more vulnerable to the fielders choice? And why am I trying to wear Riggles shoes, I’m more likely to blow a fuse than make sense of anything.

It culminated when I was about 20. A Saints player pulled a typical Saints related bone headed play and I grabbed a metal folding chair and threw it across the room. I made a huge hole in the wall.

BP listed him as the Sox' No. 4 prospect in the offseason.
Kevin Goldstein:
The Good: A true slugger with tremendous strength and power to all fields, Carter has made great strides in his approach, drawing a good number of walks while greatly reducing his strikeout rate from a year ago. He hits lefties and righties equally well, and has no significant weaknesses against any pitch type.
The Bad: Originally a third baseman, Carter is a poor defender, even at first, and needs to improve his positioning and footwork. He can be guilty at times of trying too hard to muscle up his swing when his natural strength is more than adequate. He’s a below-average runner in terms of both speed and instincts.
Perfect World Projection: Your classic first baseman, a middle-of-the-order run producer.

So, we all know the phrase "My, Oh, My!"

In other news, B.J. Upton is no longer just the laziest player on the Rays, he may well be the laziest man on the planet.
With tonight’s blunder, his laziness has reached positively legendary status. Aesopian fables will one day be spun around Upton’s indolence. Instead of “The Grasshopper and the Ant,” we’ll have “The Bloomquist and the Beej.”

when can I expect to find tRA* at statcorner.com?

Give us some time
We’re bogged down with other stuff right now, and tRA* is a bitch to code.

by the way
brandon webb is near god like.
It would be nice if you included FIP and RA/9. I know you probably don’t want to but if you want to see how big of a difference tRA makes then you need those two at least.
by Edgar for Pres on Aug 18, 2008 9:35 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm fine with it
Will ask Matthew to throw those in there. We’re still working pretty hard on it, by which I mean I am eyeballing things and he is coding.

Another tiny thing
pitcher pages have BABIP to four decimals instead of three.
I’d also like to be able to compare team stats. (I know…leaderboards are coming)
I’d also like O-xO on the team pages maybe.
by Edgar for Pres on Aug 18, 2008 9:55 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ok. I can probably fix BABIP
Leaderboards are indeed coming…
And I want O-xO and xR-R on team pages too, as a measurement of defence. We’re working on it.

Small question: You/Matthew always say results based analysis is stupid
but isn’t wOBA results based analysis? Wouldn’t something like PrwOBA (like PrOPS but harder to say!) be better?
