Is anyone watching this great pitching in the METS/MARLINS game?

Santana has 11K’s through 5.

I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!

Cahill is a highly touted prospect.

Very high GB rates [65% in AA last year]. Has only allowed 8 HR in over 200IP before his last start. Features a good sinker and snappy curveball. BP praises his good command and control of his three pitches.

But he has never faced the entity known only as KING CHAVEZ.

Most of us haven't had a lot of luck with that this year.

In yesterday’s game thread, there were a couple sets of instructions, but I couldn’t get them to work. MLB seems to have closed some loopholes this year.

Hey, guess who is having a great start to the season? None other than CRISTIAN Guzman

.435/.435/.522 line for a 138 OPS+ coming into today, and he’s 2 for 4 today….I’ll take my good news where I can get it.

He's a lot better than people give him credit for being.

He’s a totally different player since he got LASIK surgery. He was functionally blind at the plate up until that point.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN MLB PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION BUT STILL WANT THE M'S TV FEED, DO THE FOLLOWING:

1.) Go to the MLB.com homepage
2.) Click on the “Scoreboard” tab
3.) Click on the “Audio” feed of the M’s/A’s game (should be right above the box score)
4.) Once the audio is fired up, select the option to switch to FSNW video feed.

It’s strange…I’m not allowed to get into the FSNW feed from Gameday or the front page, but if I go this route, I get Dave & Co. no problem. For those few LL folks who are outside the blackout range and don’t have the MLB.tv Premium subscription.

Search for the title “Championship Leverage Index: How Meaningful Is This Game?”

by Zwakamatsu on Apr 12, 2009 1:31 PM PDT up reply actions  

No

From the article:

“This average game, is also, not coincidentally, the same as opening day. Because nobody knows what the rest of the season will hold, the opening day game is, by definition, the average regular season game – depending on what happens sometimes it will be much less meaningful than other games, and sometimes much more. This increase in championship probability due to winning this average game is 0.28% (the increase in probability of making the playoffs is 2.25%). Using the example from above, 0.32/0.28 gives a Champ LI of 1.14, meaning the 82nd game (played with a 49-32 record and a four game lead over the Cardinals) was slightly more meaningful to the Cubs championship hopes than the average regular season game.”

by Zwakamatsu on Apr 12, 2009 1:35 PM PDT up reply actions  

Higher leverage doesn't really mean more important in the sense you're thinking.

If you win a Sunday matinée game in April the leverage of the game in September isn’t as high.

by Aaron Campeau on Apr 12, 2009 1:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

In the sense that

it was more important to the Cubs’ hope, in that example, of making the playoffs, the game was more important.

by okdan on Apr 12, 2009 2:49 PM PDT reply actions  

It's worth noting that Bedard is doing phenomenally

and not just at pitching, which he’s also doing really well at today.

When you’re watching a rookie no-no your lineup, I think it would be pretty easy to press, or throw a little harder, or get competitive, but Bedard is gazing into the middle distance and throwing orgasmic parabolas, and then when the inning is over, he activates the same identical smirk and jogs his impassive butt to the dugout.

I realize we haven’t had a lot of experience with him, but there’s nobody I’d rather have in this kind of situation. You know Felix would press.
