@lnchan From what I understand, you teach statistics among your various professional activities. Tonight I had to marvel that in a game that...
A Agreed. Bringing up Tyler White for JD Davis should help somewhat. White is 7-for-22 with 2 HRs and 3 stolen bases since being sent back to...
Sometimes I think these umps drink too much soda pop before the game so by the 9th inning they've really gotta pee. I'm all for electronic...
Update: Tyler hit a HR in his final AB in yesterday's game, so that brings him to 7-for -22 with 2 HR during his Fresno stint. Other fun fact:...
Tyler White has gone 6-for-21 with 1 HR, 2 BB, 2 K, and 3 SB since returning to Fresno
Well I highly doubt Max is a commie, but you could say it is oddly appropriate insofar as the masonic compass (superimposed on the hammer) was a...
Fun stat of the day: Brad Peacock sitting on a cool .286 BA with .804 OPS
Peacock went up against some serious baseball voodoo in that inning but he knuckled down and put the Dbacks away. For a game that started out with...
The Astros' bats are primed to catch fire in the very near future. Let's see if Arizona putting the rookie from San Jacinto State on the mound is...
I wonder how far in advance umpiring crews are announced in the postseason. If Hinch knows, for example, that the Game 1 home plate umpire will be...
So for example if we take the infamous Angel Hernandez, we see that pitchers are going to have a 9% higher chance than normal of recording a...
This is an interesting website that shows which umps are more likely to call a pitch a ball and which are more likely to call a pitch a strike...
I have noticed this in the TV broadcasts too and find it illogical/annoying.
That's an intriguing idea. He's having a monster year. Hopefully he can forgive Mike Fiers. It's looking like, between Marisnick and Fisher,...
TL;DR alert (too much coffee): Astros offense will improve in the second half of August to April levels... but not ridiculous July ones. So far...
I expected McCann to go to the DL when Gattis returned. Guess it was worse than I thought... they couldn't wait that long. Glad we have as much...
Yep. When I use the force I see a 9-game winning streak around the corner.
If by chance his Sox performance was fueled by deep dish pizza, let's get him a prepaid dining card at Gino's East or Barry's, his choice.
I'm hoping Hinch uses Clipart in away games more than home games because he tends to give up a lot of fly balls to LF against RHB. With the...
After sleeping on this, I was thinking that maybe he has something in his pitching repertoire that he can teach to the younger guys like Devenski...
