    The sun seems to be shining brighter and longer And the clouds are especially fluffy.

    Sportsboobler Did they get that from the banner image on most of the site's pages?

    We had a thread on this someplace. While it's funny, I don't think I could stand to hear it very often.

    Yeah, we should do the Brewer lineup over in the designated lineup thread that logan3825 has linked to. Actually, no team is made up of 4 Ruths and 5 Koufaxes and most every team features a more or less average/typical lineup. The problem is that a typical lineup doesn't teach us much statistically. To learn about a particular lineup spot, you'll frequently see testing with 8 average or similar players while moving the ninth player around. All the Koufax-Ruth illustration actually tells us is that #3 falls into the bottom 5/9 of the lineup in terms of importance. Other research tells us that the #3 guy should likely be a team's fifth best hitter... in other words, the best of the five Koufaxes. It was touched on above: you have to consider number of plate appearances and leverage. As an example, the #5 hitter faces more 'important' ABs than the #3 hitter, enough so as to more than offset the extra plate appearances coming from #3. On the other hand, a hitter that's not very good shouldn't be getting the extra plate appearances you'd see a number 3 hitter getting.

    New lineup study also suggests that moving your best or second best hitter to #2 is likely to be a good move even without moving the pitcher to #8.
  6. 1992casey
    The biggie is that the #3 hitter comes to the plate more often than anyone else with two out and nobody on base. Using an example, the best lineup with four Babe Ruths and five Sandy Koufaxes will have Babe hitting 1,2,4, & 5 with Sandy hitting 3, 6, 7, 8, & 9. There are some more posts scattered around about this in the Brewers lineup thread.

    If I were having connection difficulties, I wouldn't hesitate to have the company send me modem after modem after modem. It's a rental, and if nothing else, I'd be getting their attention.

    Once all is said and done, I bet a chiropractor ends up being the solution to Jason's problem.

    do you happen to know if the mlb.com package blacks out in areas across wisconsin for the brewers? See this thread: Brewers on DISH, DirecTV, Cable, Extra Innings, MLB.TV, etc.. Basically, blackouts that apply to Extra Innings also apply to MLB.TV. Also take a look at this map: Home territories: MLB teams. Areas marked "MIL" will be blacked out by the out-of-market packages (MLB.TV and Extra Innings).

    The two threads are merged now. The funny thing is that you posted to the old thread. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    mikevan, the ones who tend to feel ripped off by Extra Innings live in places like Iowa, Oklahoma, or Nevada. In other words, the customers who live in areas with a lot of home teams get less bang for their buck. Your Extra Innings package would exclude the Cubs and White Sox. Those teams should be available to you anyway, so you should be fine.

    There'll probably be one right around the start of the season.
  14. 1992casey
    The rub is that Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties share the same southern boundary and that parts of southern Waukesha County are home to all three teams: the Brewers, Cubs, and White Sox. You can't simply work based on the latitude of the southern Milwaukee County line. I can tell you that the Eagle area is shared territory, for instance. There's a zip code dealy-bopper on mlb.com that's a reliable indicator most of the time. Maybe someone can dig it up. Short of that, because cable and satellite companies, along with MLB, are so unclear so often, anecdotal evidence is often the way to go.

    The CBA is really ambiguous about this. It sounds like it boils down to what the arbitrators feel like doing after hearing both sides. It says that the arbitrators can consider injuries if they want to.
  16. 1992casey
    Klements, you'll have no trouble getting Cubs and White Sox games on Extra Innings if you live in Cedarburg. If you live in Racine, Kenosha, Walworth, or southern Waukesha Counties, the Chicago teams will be blacked out. Rock County may also be in the blackout area.

    Some non-statheads may beg to disagree with you, Matty. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    It's way confusing, and it's a horribly misleading definition of 'free'.
  19. 1992casey
    Keep in mind that the pitcher only bats 9th 65% of the time, anyway. He'd be batting 8th about the same percentage of the time; that minimizes the number of PAs that are tacked on because of the move. At any rate, The Book concludes that hitting the pitcher eighth will tack on about two runs over a 162 game season. Moving the pitcher up to 7th will be about equal to leaving him in the 9th spot.
  20. 1992casey
    Welcome, ewizabeff! The confusion has always been because the games require a subscription which technically runs from Opening Day through the following March. First-time subscribers get Spring Training tacked on 'for free', so they'll get two Spring Trainings on their first subscription.

    The top link now says chat is back up and running.
  22. 1992casey
    Here's a more explicative link: Chat hardware failure - chat will be down for a few days
  23. 1992casey
    If this means a more permanent fix for the chat than the ones we've been getting, I'm all for it. Hopefully, a few days means it'll be up by the first exhibition game, though.

    A typical way to go about this is to test one lineup spot at a time. You'd move around guy with typical pitcher's stats while making all other batters in the lineup equal. What could possibly be done is to test a lineup with a typical pitcher, Jason Kendall, and seven equal players.

    Scoring runs always involves getting hitters on base, and driving in runs almost always involves getting hitters on base.
