If the Tigers are indeed trying to use a flag as a pitcher, I will guarantee a victory as a Detroit forfeit is almost assuredly to follow.

I am skeptical they are actually trying to use a flag as a picture

I know when Jeff is trying to be creative and this isn’t Jeff trying to be creative. I actually think this is the Tigers trying to pull a fast one on us and perhaps escape with a victory before the rain comes.

There was also a scout sitting behind us early that was talking to his bosses, and he let it be known that he was here specifically to scout Washburn. I checked, and he was from the Philadelphia Phillies.
A few, yes

Greinke has better numbers than both of them so far.
Blowers also thinks that the secret to this year's success has been the pitching
and that Rob Johnson is a good catcher.

Lincecum was better last year.
He is also better this year.
In fact, I have cannot even figure out which numbers of Haren's you think are "much better"
aside from K/BB. tRA, tRA*, FIP, WAR, IP, etc all go to Lincecum both this year and last.
I know you are joking and all.
I am just genuninely confused how anyone could look at Lincecum and Haren and conclude that Lincecum would be unworthy of winning the Cy Young because:
A) he won it last year [in a totally legitimate decision]
B) Haren has “much better numbers” [which boils down to…. a few points of ERA?]
It is like nobody even reads our posts here.
Or most people read your posts and the ones who do aren't arguing in favor of Dan Haren?

It’s just frustrating when someone makes a claim, then vanishes, only to reappear and make similar claims. And stuff like “I hope his arm falls off” make it seem like there’s not a lot of room for reason in the discussion.
I'm satisfied with him being the 2nd coming of Curt Schilling(with less strikeouts).
Now we need to find ourselves the 2nd coming of Randy Johnson and World Series here we come!

So wait
He was above average the other years? I’m confused
Since the year two-thousand and three, Jarrod Washburn has had but two (2) seasons
in which his tRA was better than that of the league-average pitcher. The margin was slim in both cases.
You said that he's had two below-average tRAs in your original post

I am not sure what level of genocide the Pizza Hut fake actors commercial rates on
but I am thinking Red Terror
Is that really a genocide?
Regardless, a fine choice for those ‘actors.’ I hate pizza hut so much more now.
No.
Genocide is the intentional destruction of a group within a group. So yes, it can be political, but more often than not it refers to ethnic groups.
by Kirsten Schlewitz on Jul 23, 2009 11:24 AM PDT up reply actions
That just seems odd
‘Systematic destruction of a political group’ could encompass all manner of things that we would never associate with the word ‘genocide.’
You can’t ‘destroy’ a racial or ethnic group without, well, genocide. You can ban a political party or work to counter their growth or do any number of things without killing people. That would still somehow count as genocide per this definition.
But you cited a source, so there’s that.
It's also not the internationally accepted definiton on genocide,
and not one that will compel the UN to take action
by Kirsten Schlewitz on Jul 23, 2009 11:29 AM PDT up reply actions
No.
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
* (a) Killing members of the group;
* (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
* © Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
* (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
* (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Unfortunately, it does when it comes to genocide

by Kirsten Schlewitz on Jul 23, 2009 11:30 AM PDT up reply actions
.
The term ‘Genocide’ was coined by a jurist named Raphael Lemkin in 1944 by combining the Greek word ‘genos’ (race) with the Latin word ‘cide’ (killing). Genocide as defined by the United Nations in 1948 means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, including: (a) killing members of the group (b) causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group © deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part (d) imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group (e) forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
I hope this turns into a really long and serious discussion
about the varying definitions of a word.
Those are always so grand.
People think all my joking comments are serious
and all my serious comments, sarcastic
To be fair, you use the same poker face no matter what you say.
I would hate to play cards with you.
.
The term ‘asshole’ is the combining of the Latin word ‘asinus’ (body part) with the Old English word ‘hol’ (a hollowed place). Asshole (or arsehole in British English) is slang for the anus and is often used as an insult. It is formed from arse, which according to the Oxford English Dictionary has been used since the 11th century to refer to the rump of an animal and since the 14th century to refer to a person’s buttocks.

Some stats!
Wlad’s linear weights per 100 FB: -1.11. Per 100 Change-ups: 2.93. Per 100 cutters: 1.10.
The slider and curve are awful, but he hits some offspeed pitches much better than he does fastballs.
I have some issues with this kind of analysis
Not all pitches are created equal. Wlad wet yard on a Bobby Seay slider two nights ago that I imagine just about any right handed hitter with an iota of power could hit out. Not all sliders are created equal.

The Phillies are going to trade us their entire top 10 for Washburn now.
You got slurved!
Hehehe Mark Reynolds is so awesome.
Jose!
Racer X. You have to love those amarillo hops.
There is virtually no speed on our bench.
Normally I’d have have said Wlad but y’know, he’s already there.
Fuck Anaheim.

true
But if you do that, and then an outfielder or any of the infielders besides branyan gets hurt, you’re in a pickle.
But a pickle with some extra runs

So I think this game is going to come down to whether
Jarrod reaches ~96-99 pitches at the end of a frame and leaves the game on a good note, or ends an inning at ~88-90 pitches and goes out there for one more.

Productive outs!
success resulting from bad contact!
And someone was complaining about the generous zone earlier
both guys are actually getting a bit squeezed but its not very consistent

This zone is crazy
like someone said earlier, one at-bat was 2-2, but the 2 balls were in the strike zone, and the two called strikes were out of the zone.

Hey does anyone remember when Graham wrote about the minors a couple of times and everyone started to believe that maybe he would actually start writing for the website?

Nice AB Rob Johnson
That’s the ideal thing to do on pitches right over the heart of the plate

Out of the zone

How did Jack change this lineup so much with so little?
I am continually amazed. Not that they’re much better, just bad in a totally different way.

I love Hannahan. Taking 5 straight pitches with 2 on and 2 out?
How many guys have we seen over the years who would swing out of their shoes at the first pitch?

Washburn in Philly would be such a disaster
