It makes money.

But angers fans who don’t live in LA, NYC, Boston or Chicago. And makes me blow the wad on special cable packages.

by Tyler is a G on May 29, 2010 3:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

Exactly.

MLB network is good. ESPN, not so much. Thus we have to give in and pay more to get good coverage.

by Tyler is a G on May 29, 2010 3:09 PM PDT up reply actions  

Im speaking of TV.

Even Gammons sees the errors of ESPN’s ways. He said he was retiring, then two days later went to MLB network.

by Tyler is a G on May 29, 2010 3:12 PM PDT up reply actions  

That's true.

I don’t like ESPN’s over coverage of the east coast either, but it could be worse. They do a good job of covering most of the key things.

by BrettJMiller on May 29, 2010 3:15 PM PDT up reply actions  

LA, NY, Boston and Chicago have a lot of fans who don't live in those cities.

Hence, they’re very popular teams. It makes sense for a network to cover popular subjects.

by katal on May 29, 2010 3:06 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah espn and fox do tend to latch on to teams for a while

But seems to me it all has to do with winning, star players, etc.

I don’t really follow the NBA anymore, but I remember being so fucking sick of hearing about the Pistons and the Spurs.

They’re just reporting what’s the most popular at the moment.

by Karma Police on May 29, 2010 3:07 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah, especially 2001

I mean the name “Ichiro” was constantly being drilled into everyone’s head 24/7. If I wasn’t a Mariners fan that would annoy the hell out of me.

Both Felix and Weaver cannot give their teams the edge.

At most, one team can have the edge. Weaver has not given the Angels the edge, since they do not have it. If, hypothetically, the did have the edge, then Felix could not have given the Mariners the edge, since they would not have it.

The United States produces about 20%, or 1.1 billion tons, of the world's coal supply—second only to China.

Coal generates about half of the electricity used in the United States.

The United States has about a 245-year supply of coal, if it continues using coal at the same rate at which it uses coal today.

The average coal miner is 50 years old and has 20 years of experience.

Coal ash, a byproduct of coal combustion, is used as filler for tennis rackets, golf balls, and linoleum.

Each person in the United States uses 3.8 tons of coal each year.

The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet 8.5 inches.

The earliest railway in Great Britain was built between October 1603 and October 1604.

The steepest Cogwheel railway in the world is in Switzerland. It has a gradient of 48%.

The highest railway station in the world is at Condor in Bolivia. It is an altitude of 4,787 metres which is three and a half times higher than Great Britain’s tallest mountain.

Every time a Virgin Pendolino train brakes they return 17 percent of electricity used back to the National Grid – enough to provide power for 11,825 homes for a year or to brew 2.6 billion cups of tea.

Around 70% of train journeys taken in Great Britain either start or finish in London.

BONUS TRAIN-VOLCANO COMBO!
The only railway to go to the top of a volcano was built on Mount Vesuvius in Italy, in 1880.

by Eyeball Kid on May 29, 2010 3:51 PM PDT up reply actions  

Sorry - I was thinking K-Rod part II was still in the game

Still, putting Sweeney in for Johnson would have been the better play

by tait644 on May 29, 2010 3:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

For the one PA, sure.

There’s a greater context though. Removing Rob Johnson in a low leverage PA is a waste

by Matthew on May 29, 2010 3:59 PM PDT up reply actions  

Why is it a low-leverage AB?

How much would getting a man on change WE?

by tait644 on May 29, 2010 4:02 PM PDT up reply actions  

You get to use Mike Sweeney once.

You want to use him with no runners on base?

by Matthew on May 29, 2010 4:04 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yes

I’d imagine putting a man on in that situation would be pretty huge.

by tait644 on May 29, 2010 4:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

It would have been far better to use him for Saunders

should Johnson have reached. Read up on pinch hitting penalties and platoon splits

by Matthew on May 29, 2010 4:07 PM PDT up reply actions  

I don't have time to hold an entire recitation every time.

We’ve talked about these points numerous times on this website. I did my best not to dismiss you out of hand but if you choose to not educate yourself, that’s not my fault.

by Matthew on May 29, 2010 4:12 PM PDT up reply actions  

~77 points for Sweeney over Johnson

(that’s using about 35 points of wOBA for pinch hitting penalties)

Before factoring in the platoon difference between Sweeney and Saunders, the pinch hitting penalty alone results in a difference between the two of about 42 points.

Given he has such a small MLB sample to work with, I didn’t feel comfortable figuring a wOBA for Saunders vs. LHPs (although in the last two seasons Sweeney does better vs. RHPs).

So if you can figure Sweeney will be a good 35 points better than Saunders against Fuentes (not too hard), then Sweeney should be up for Saunders.

However, putting a man on w/one out, as opposed to no outs, in the top of an extra inning in a tie game produces a WE% 10 percent lower.

Does that make up for the difference between Sweeney and Saunders? I don’t know.

by tait644 on May 29, 2010 4:51 PM PDT up reply actions  

Each team has a winless streak on the line.

Angels: Trailing after 7 innings
Mariners: Extras
