"Mariners BP" debut on FSN tonight at 6... with Sabermetrics!

by Kenny Knows Sports on Aug 13, 2009 3:59 PM PDT

So I've just heard some news from my friend who works at FSN that tonight is the debut of a new show that he's working on. Maybe I'm the last one to know this, probably because I live in Los Angeles and haven't watched pre-game anything this year, but just a reminder that the show debuts tonight with Larry Stone as the first guest ever.

Also, my friend was in charge of putting up some sabermetrics on the bottom-of-the-screen ticker. These numbers will be for the top 6 or 7 players in the AL in categories like: RZR, OOZ, FIP, and RC.

This seems to be a step in the right direction.

Why runs created?

I think right now FSN is afraid to go "too far" and just dip their toes in it.

Huh.

based on the ads, it just looked a special where they showed guys joshing around at BP….

5 minutes in and this is way better than the normal pregame

Griffey launching home runs into the Hit it Here Cafe, Bill Krueger saying how the White Sox were “bitchin’” about a left hander Hickey throwing batting practice.

Wait, Krueger said bitchin on tv? Alright, I'm tuning into this.

He did it a few years ago.

Our pitcher got an outside strike 3 call, and Sexson had been rung up on it the inning before. Krueger was filling in announcing that day for some reason and he said “That’s the pitch Richie was bitchin’ about.”

Good stuff.
