  1. Doesn't the "Coors Effect" only make balls go something like 4% farther? this *not to beat the glue-stick* is another argument about the mental vs physical side of the game (see Cordero as Closer thread)... but i remember a really interesting engineering word problem at school trying to calculate the range of a parabola (or in baseballspeak... the distance of a flyball) that factored in: incoming speed of pitch, force and angle of impact from bat, with the only variable being the air density the ball is traveling through. equal pitch, equal swing... turns out the extra distance you get in Colorado can be about 5 - 10 feet. this does make a lot of warning track fly balls into homers, but... it's possible that hitters love going there because they think they'll hit better there. then again we're not factoring in the oxygen content of the breath the batter is taking and how that translates to power loss in muscle expecting sea level air... but hey, that's for another class.
  2. graff, fielder, mench coming up... no worries at all.
  3. for those without the pleasure of watching... Turnblow hit the backstop on a fly over the ump's head with a fastball
  4. i have chewed my fingernails off. i still care about the brewers.
  5. and now the "Doug Melvin is Genius" threads can resume
  6. do we wait to score our lone run until the 8th or 9th? *jinxism*
  7. are there any Vegas sportsbooks that will take my wager for the Chorizo to win the race? I would take out a second mortgage...
  8. can we make Jenkins the "fan favorite" that convinces Melvin to trade him?
  9. Do you think he'll be OK without his personal catcher?
  10. who blew out their knee in the bullpen trying to catch that? edit: nevermind
  11. wreck this bullpen. crumple it up. what kind of degenerates does CBS' gamecast have working for it?
  12. Nice job Dale... a rare opportunity to compliment I will take full advantage of.
  13. What a shame to (Turn)blow this game for Tomo.
  14. my stomach is bubbling with turnbow listed warming in the pen. shut-down closer indeed!
  15. Bullpen suddenly got a lot better... Would Doug dare? Sheets, Cappy, Davis, Ohka, ZJ ? where ZJ = Greg Maddux in that equation of course
  16. Rivera is Moellery at throwing out runners (from my in-depth CBS gamecast scouting persepctive)
  17. Respect (& fear) for the Prince... NL Player of the Week on the resume is nice when applying for ROY...
  18. that's 1 way to turn over the line-up Moel...er Mike.
  19. Ahhhhhhhhhh, the Jenkins 2nd half love fest. Couldn't we just not play him in May & June? Other players with 9 home runs: Julio Lugo, Jose Valentine, Jose Lopez, Jose Guillen... edit: oh come on, of course I like the guy post all-star break
  20. Maybe my favorite statistic in all of baseball: Inherited Runners Scored: 3 - 0 Except it should even be weighted to include the 3 out factor... like 9 - 0 Well done Rick! Wow. Not El Duque vs the Red Sox mid playoffs, but wow nonetheless.
  21. Last night the Arizona color guy kept mentioning how he did not want a homer in the D-Backs rally inning... that he would rather play station to station and keep getting base hits, insisting that often times a home run could be a rally killer. he was nuts then and is still nuts, but it makes a little sense after that hall rivera jackson weeks sequence.
