    Not that I would expect it but only the savviest of players would have run into that ball in Agular's spot there to avoid the DP
  2. topper09er
    productive out from Franklin there...
  3. topper09er
    There is a lot odd about the lineup, but I cannot understand why at least Franklin and Broxton are not switched
  4. topper09er
    This is why geographically based divisions are a good thing, these late starts are brutal. I feel bad for the Rangers and Astros fans who have these all the time

    Since no one wanted to play, the answer is 4 times. 29 HR in 1919 with BOS 54 HR in 1920 with NYY 59 HR in 1921 60 HR in 1927

    we own the AL I hear Bob Seger playing on the loud speakers in Miller Park so great game all around including the stadium DJ
  7. topper09er
    Yes, that was JJ Hardy lack of speed on display
  8. topper09er
    speaking of old timers and HR, how many times did Babe Ruth set the single season HR record?
  9. topper09er
    I was thinking he only hit 49 his rookie year. But yes, 52 in 1996. Well done. I should have guessed ARod I think we have them all, but a neat technically wrong answer is Mays with NYG and SFG
  10. topper09er
    Broxton

    McGwire did it with OAK and StL ARod with TEX and NYY That might be it, maybe Thome but I will say he didnt
  12. topper09er
    Correct well done. Also Lefty Grove won the inaugural award in 1931. 1950s is Jackie Jensen in 1958, led the league in RBIs that must have been enough Foxx put up some amazing numbers. I might be wrong, but I think he is the only player to hit 50 or more HRs for two different teams (which were Philadelphia and Boston). McGwire did it with OAK and StL

    Sit Villar and leave Franklin in to play 2B. Enough of this crap, grow a pair Counsell even if you haven't hit puberty yet
  15. topper09er
    what a fun game, contributions from all around, battling back after some Boston runs. enough for me to completely ignore our pitching situation

    Wild guess: Williams 40's Williams 50's Yaz 60's Fred Lynn 70's Roger Clemens 80's Nomah 90's Big Papi 00's Not too confident about any of them other than Lynn and maybe Yaz and one of the Williams. Didn't Pedroia win it 1 year? Rice? 1930s: 1940s: Williams correct 1946 and 1949 (note he won the triple crown in 42 and 47 but no MVP, hit .406 in 41 but no MVP, and spent 43-45 in WWII) Not a bad decade 1950s: wrong 1960s: Yaz correct 1967 1970s: Lynn correct 1975. Also Jim Rice 1978 1980s: Clemens correct 1986 1990s: edit* Mo Vaughn 1995 from post above 2000s: Pedroia correct 2008 Also, both of the winners from the 30s are in the HOF. 1950s is impossible

    With Arcia and pitchers spot up, sure take your chances. I don't like it at all with the heart of the order up. Personal preference I guess. Very good point, I will say these stats do need to account for the hitter but they do not. My gut feeling is that Braun does not increase the chance of scoring above the average player by more than 10%, but maybe he does. It does get closer. Thisis a cool way to adjust RE for the batter, Braun has a .400 wOBA this year, so putting that in it increases the R1R2 1 out RE from .832 to 1.104, huge increase of 33%. So clearly you cant just add 69+33 and say Villar needs to make it 102 % of the time, but maybe it does get close enough to not justify an attempt

    Here is one of my favorite trivia questions. Since the modern MVP award was invented in 1931, the only team to win at least 1 every decade is the Red Sawx. Can you name at least 1 of their players to do it for every decade? They have 3 years left to win one or end the streak
  19. topper09er
    Thank you. Obviously he didn't execute it well at all. But it's not a horrible idea to try once in awhile. If there had been 2 out, much different situation. Yup, with 2 outs you need an 88% break even success rate so Villar should never be stealing with 2 outs. I tried to find an all-time great 3rd base stealer and fun fact, the player with the highest SB success rate in MLB history is...CHase Utley at 88%. however, in his entire career he is only 3/4 stealing 3rd! Carlos Beltran is up there at 86% overall, and he is just barely good enough to attempt stealing 3rd with 2 outs, his SB3 rate is 74/82 = 90%
  20. topper09er
    No, it's a terrible idea. Especially with Braun at the plate. Even more, I hate the way it seems to be tolerated. You only need a 69% success rate stealing 3rd with 1 out to break even, so it is not a terrible idea. Villar in his career steals 3rd base at 80% (28/35)
  21. topper09er
    4 run lead is nothing for Wily, keep it up
  22. topper09er
    No, force out means you are forced to go to the next base when the batter becomes a runner
  23. topper09er
    Stop guessing with 2 strikes you bums
  24. topper09er
    Santana and Broxton heating up
  25. topper09er
    Maybe he is contagious
