    If they make ANY changes to the lineup they should ALL be fired. This is a potent bunch, and as has been said, they do everything well. I also can't see where any one of them had a fluke "played out of his mind" year. I would think that next year will be even better as we would start the year with the lineup we ended this year with. I'm pretty sure that Aoki will be more comfortable and possibly play even better than he did this year. I think Gomez might also have a better year as he finally seems to be "getting it" to a degree, and RR seems ready to let Carlos be Carlos (as has also been said already). I'm also really impressed with Segura thus far and feel he'll get better with maturation as well. Offensively, the sky's the limit.

    I noticed it as well and even thought about posting. Especially in Pitt. It almost sounded like they were "answering" each other from different parts of the stadium.

    Good night.

    If Fred Flintstone were real I bet he'd look just like Berkman.

    If those monkeys can recognize pitches that well from wherever they're stationed I say suit 'em up and put 'em in the batter's box.
  6. Nottso
    I get how they do the location. I'm wondering about the recognition, or do the cameras somehow do that as well?

    I'm in hour number 44 and don't want to be. Anyways... I'm "watching" on Gameday so as not to wake the wife and I'm wondering how on Earth the person that is updating it knows what the pitches are. 2 seam, 4 seam, sinker, slider, bla bla bla. I know there's a slight delay, so do they do a slow-mo replay of each pitch before they update it or something along those lines?

    These samples are so small that they are 100% worthless. We probably have to assume that both players have career average LH/RH splits for one. Gamel has 269 career MLB PA's, including 48 against LHP's. And where did you get Aoki's splits? Do they include his Japanese stats because they don't match up with his major league splits: posting.php?mode=quote&f=63&p=815352 My guess for Aoki as a full time starter next year is something like .290/.340/.400. That is not bad for a RF making peanuts but it's nothing to get excited about either. I would expect Gamel to give us more power than that, although that is nothing more than an educated guess (mostly based on minor league numbers). "These samples are so small that they are 100% worthless." If that's all the data Baseball Reference has, that's all the data Baseball Reference has (or all that I could find). If we can't use the data given, limited as it is, how would you evaluate, project, and/or compare these 2 guys?

    I'd love to know what was going through the head of the guy who named them when he decided on scuppernong. I'm still wondering about the first guy to eat an egg. "Hey, look what came out of that bird's butt. I wonder if it's good to eat."

    Why would you platoon Gamel with Aoki? Since they both hit left handed how would you decide which one plays on which day? I looked at both of their career platoon splits and came up with: Aoki vs LHP = .258 avg. .309 OBP .669 OPS Aoki vs RHP = .304 avg. .380 OBP .810 OPS Gamel vs LHP = .267 avg. .313 OBP .690 OPS Gamel vs RHP = .221 avg. .303 OBP .667 OPS I realize these are both small samples, but over their careers Gamel has been only slightly better than Aoki vs LHP while Aoki has been much better than Gamel vs RHP. Is Gamel's .021 higher OPS against LHP reason to play him over Aoki against LHP, or would it be better to just play Aoki every day and keep Gamel on the bench? I'm asking because I don't know what I might be missing here.

    If Greinke were to come back, I would think that that would have to raise the Brewers' stock quite a bit when it comes to quality free agents wanting to, or at least be willing to, sign here in the future. Good Lord, what a long sentence.

    Looper! WINS http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.e1d/img/4.0/global/baseball/mlb/players/5966.jpg You should be beaten for this. Severely.

    Craig Calcaterra of HBT reports that LAD also inquired about Sabathia and Texeria. Ai yi yi! http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/08/28/the-dodgers-inquired-about-mark-teixeira-and-cc-sabathia/

    I'd like to run him over even after we're done talking about the White Sox.

    [sarcasm]I'm at a complete loss as to why you put that last part in blue.[/sarcasm]

    For our newer members (and because it still tickles me and likely always will): http://images.yuku.com.s3.amazonaws.com/image/png/c9d353e39d8482d662aeccd33714043db48f73b.png Credit should be given to the originator, but I don't know who that is.
  17. Nottso
    No doubt. By the middle of the 18th, TLR would have had a hotdog vendor loosening up.
  18. Nottso
    Ouch.
  19. Nottso
    what did the brewers get for him? cash right? I thought they got nothing for him . Washington claimed him off of revocable waivers and Doug let them have him. At least I think that's what I thought.

    Can a qualifying offer be made with caveats/stipulations? Say a lower price, with the $13.5M kicking in at X innings pitched or something like that. I'm thinking it would have to be a relatively low number of innings, so that teams couldn't screw the pitcher, but high enough so that a serious injury prevents the higher number from becoming a reality. I know deals like that can normally be made, but if the higher number were great enough, could it then be considered a qualifying offer?
  21. Nottso
    I get that. I think I'd have to probably do that myself, but that's Tony Gwynn we're talking about. What about if it was the Counsell-esque guy vs a guy like Weeks or maybe even Lucroy? Is there any way you go with the Counsell clone, or would it always be the other guy? (Assuming, of course, that the other guy is a somewhat significantly better hitter overall) Again, I'm just curious. This kind of fascinates me. I may need to avoid these stats entirely. I could easily see me driving myself around the bend with this stuff.
  22. Nottso
    Why? I'm not trying to argue here, just looking to get a grasp on some of this stuff. My understanding is that all of these metrics are used not only to predict outcomes but especially to do so in certain situations. Like the further we can break things down, the better the predictive ability we (should) get, no? Yes? Maybe? So using Counsell as the example, why would you ignore (or assign lesser importance to) those metrics that point to his "clutchness"? I don't think small sample applies, as lengthy as his career was, or does it? I certainly don't know. What I'm wondering now is if all (or most) stat guys would also choose the guy with the better overall numbers, as you would, or would they choose Counsell? I'd choose Counsell, but that's probably mostly because I'm a fan and a homer and he's from Milwaukee. More seriously, I'd still choose the guy with the better "clutch stats" even if it wasn't Counsell, although I can't really say why I'd choose that way. I guess just a gut feeling. Others?
  23. Nottso
    Craig Counsell? He certainly came to mind.
  24. Nottso
    Here's a clutch question for the stat guys. Let us assume there are 2 batters. One guy has hit well above average for 10 years, but hits below average w/risp and well below average with bases loaded. The second guy has hit below average for those same 10 years but actually hits above average w/risp, and especially so w/bases loaded. Which guy do you want hitting if you're 1 run down, with bases loaded, bottom 9, World Series game 7? Which set of numbers do you use? The overall numbers, or the numbers w/risp or even more specifically the numbers w/bases loaded? And why?

    Yuni B. outrighted today. I've been pulling for him just because I'm a "root for the underdog" kinda guy and the hatred towards this poor guy bordered on irrational. That being said, the very first comment on HBT is hilarious: "When you sign a guy expecting him to get on base 27% of the time, and he only gets on base 26% of the time, he has to go. No way around it." http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/08/14/royals-release-yuniesky-betancourt/
