An ex-girlfriend of mine

wrote to me that she was going to the chiro’s office. I couldn’t believe that she knew Ichiro personally and had even been to his office. She told my dumbass the next day she meant chiro as in chiropractor. Side note, it totally made sense to me that Ichiro would have his own office.

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.

Ichiro's bunt for single made sense to me yesterday.

If their going to give it to him, he’s got to keep them honest. But I’m not arguing the sensibility of bunts in general with you, I understand all the arguments against them .

I have calmed a lot over the years.

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. Ever since that day, I have worked on my inner calm. Strange thing is, I am a total pacifist and a bit of a push over. Only sports and video games can drive me to violent outbursts.

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.

by Teej on Aug 18, 2008 6:37 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

No.4 this last offseason.

Where has he ranked before? I think I remember reading he was a top 3 at some point in their system. No.4 is close enough, I guess.

Good job Jeffie.

I think he just can’t hit if Graham’s around.

HoRam is still pitching?

Now they’re just making fun of us.

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.”

So...

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.

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.
