    Then by May he realized that he really shouldn't play small ball with the team and that was that. Yeah, like the time he decided that since Brady Clark was leading off, Brady should steal bases. Thankfully, that ended sooner than later.

    Yuni's buyout is guaranteed money. As far as where that money is sitting right now, only the accountants know for sure.

    If you're going to pitch to a stat, FIP is a good choice. It covers the things that a pitcher can control. As noted above, he isn't just pitching to FIP, which attempts to rule out defense. He's also attempting to take defensive factors into account. If he were pitching to ERA, then we'd have a problem. There are times when it's better to let a run score and attempt to induce a double play, for instance.

    Greinke tries to pitch in a way that gives him the best FIP. He also tries to adjust for ballparks and team defense.

    Yeah, I mentioned that above. This is getting really technical, but buried somewhere in the Statistical Analysis forum, one of our stat-oriented members said that K/AB is likely to be a better measure than K/BF (or K/PA). I tried searching for that post, but I couldn't find it. I'd guess that the difference between the two would be really minimal, though, and that either one would be definitely be better than K/9 innings.

    Definitely. That's one thing that makes this so odd. All iPad browsers other than Safari can still access The Post.

    Beginning last Saturday, the New York Post has blocked access to its site by anyone trying to access it via Safari on iPads. They want iPad users to buy their new iPad app and pay a $6.99 per month subscription fee. Never mind that the site is still free if you use Windows, OS X, Linux, Android, iPhone, Blackberry, or any browser other than Safari on an iPad. In an article titled The New York Post Erects Most Egregious Paywall Yet, The Atlantic's Nicholas Jackson describes this as "a digital assault that risks offending readers and turning them to alternative news sources for good." He goes on to say, "You can't even see the newspaper's front page or a list of story headlines before being presented with a full-page message alerting you that 'editorial content is now only accessible on the iPad through the New York Post App.'" A screen capture of this front page is provided by Dave Winer. You can click on the picture to see a larger version. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3113/5846145024_a2870f930f.jpg Staci D. Kramer states, "The NYP literally is blocking the web for a subset of users…, targeting the way someone accesses the web to keep readers out. You can’t even see the front page or the day’s front/back cover images. For iPad users relying on Safari, it is as though the site exists only as a billboard for an app." It looks to me like The Post thinks people are dolts.

    As kind of an aside, K/AB or BB/AB would be a better measure than K/9 innings or BB/9 innings. Pitchers who face more batters over a nine inning span (i.e. poorer pitchers) will have "inflated" K/9 inning numbers when compared to superior ones simply because they've had more chances to strike batters out. That said, K/AB and BB/AB don't seem to be made very convenient, and they're going to produce numbers that the reader would have to get used to recognizing.

    Now they're saying it's a left hip flexor strain.

    I wouldn't call it a destination or anything like that, but you could take a walk by the Bronze Fonz.

    The sample's small, but give the massive gap between the splits, I'd have to think there's some validity to them. Are there any minor league splits readily available?

    I swear FVBrewerfan's post wasn't there before. Yuku is fun! It probably wasn't there. Disappearing/reappearing posts is a common occurrence on the system. Luckily, Brewerfan hasn't been affected too badly. Some boards are routinely an hour behind.

    There's Gamel discussion in the DH topic and in the Roenicke topic.

    According to members of another Yuku board, it's possible to use Yuku's Flash-based chat on iOS devices with the Puffin Web Browser, which is available for 99 cents in the App Store. Apparently, Puffin also gives one access to the full post editor. I don't own an iOS device, so I can't test this personally. But for 99 cents, it's not much of a risk to try it out. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Obviously, this is a different brand, but the Apple Store says that I should expect about four years out of the removable battery that's in my 2008 MacBook Pro. My guess is that there's nothing wrong except for the battery's age.

    Dempster Street is way up in Skokie. That'd be quite a home run. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    The average point is the mean…And the mid-point is the median. Average doesn't need to fall at the mid-point, and more often than not, it doesn't. Here's a group of numbers: 10, 10, 8, 6, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1. The median (mid-point) is 3; the mean (average) is 4.9. I can't speak to defense. But I believe it was Bill James who pointed out that on offense, there are more below average players than above. That means that an average offensive player would likely fall into the top half rather than just being ho hum.
