    Hardy and Braun are the only two non-awesome things about this game.

    I have to say, the Bill Hill Jersey for Hall is my favorite gimmick of 2008 so far.
  3. Oldcity
    Sigh. I hope Gabe gets the start tomorrow. And wow, Kendall.

    It's not like the current players don't like him too. And I wasn't saying the main reason for hiring Williams was so the recruits stick around; I said it was an added bonus. I'm not too sure I'd like Bob Knight coaching Marquette. Wouldn't make much sense to hire a guy who will only be here one or two years.
  5. Oldcity
    Hey, a quick out for CV! How about two more?
  6. Oldcity
    As it becomes apparent that Marquette won't hire Shawn Williams or Anthony Grant, I think I'm pulling for Buzz Williams. A bonus would be that maybe some of those recruits who requested a release would change their minds.

    Braun swings at a lot of balls.
  8. Oldcity
    Well this sucks. I took the day off of work, only to get sick. Now I'm watching from home.
  9. Oldcity
    Man, Kendall is having a game.
  10. Oldcity
    Watching on gamecast. Was it intentional?
  11. Oldcity
    Kapler batting second against any pitcher is pretty outrageous.
  12. Oldcity
    Amazing they only got one run that inning.

    I've been posting here for years, and somehow I just now discovered the "quick reply" option. So I'm using it for the first time. Go Braun.
  14. Oldcity
    I'm liking the Pie-Lilly-Theriot inning.
  15. Oldcity
    Ha. Well I've never seen an inning featuring a leadoff homer go as poorly as that.
  16. Oldcity
    Pretty difficult to distinguish which pie piece represents "run around and desert you" and which represents "tell a lie and hurt you."

    I used PECOTA's projections for this year and plugged them into a lineup analysis at baseball musings. Not to pimp my blog, but I actually made a post on this like a week or two ago where I discussed Gwynn vs. Gross within the lineup thread. That's why I was so ready with that projection. Here, if you care to take a look. http://danandsteve.com/2008/03/16/pecota-lineup-optmization-and-you/

    I like that idea, although I think they'd be able to get someone more high-profile if they wanted to. Brett, I believe Horn just took the South Carolina job.
  19. Oldcity
    Did he just throw out an arbitrary number? Or did he cite some source? Somehow, I'm guessing the former.

    Interesting stuff. Based solely on observation, it certainly seems like it takes Ben awhile to get going. He has had many starts where he gets knocked around a little in the first inning only to settle down afterwards. I think most pitchers are like that, but it seems like it takes him a bit longer.
  21. Oldcity
    Man. Zero returning starters. No wonder Tony Bennett wasn't interested.
  22. Oldcity
    Nice. It seemed plausible enough. Moreso than the text I got today that said, "Favre's coming back!"
  23. Oldcity
    Hollowed out their souls.
  24. Oldcity
    So Adam Everett is as valuable as Derek Jeter or Hanley Ramirez?
  25. Oldcity
    I just knew that people would be justifying Gwynn starting by his "good" game today. What did he do? He hit three weak balls, a nice sac fly and made a couple pretty nice plays in center. So basically, exactly what he is: A no-hit, solid defensive center fielder. Hart is going to be the center fielder next year. He has played there before. I'd gladly move Hart there for 25 games in a possible downgrade in defense in center and a moderate downgrade in right field defense for the additional offense it provides. Projected runs/game with today's lineup: 4.672 Projected runs/game with Gross over Gwynn: 5.211 No way does defense make up for that huge loss of offense.
