    Where's that Budhouse dude?

    I was going to make a rant about that but the look didn't quite get the meter high enough to get me to start a thread. They look awful. Gagne's pants look like they could come down on any pitch. I really don't know how they run in pants like those. They do have ball room though, so they have that going for them.

    The Channel was great in the late 80s when they had Brnandmier, Steve and Gary, and Kevin and Jim Shorts. But then it wasn't a sports station except for the idiot Chet Kopic.

    \:D/ :wave: A couple of my behavior analysts students are working as academic advisors for the team, they actually are a hard working bunch of guys. Sorry Cal.

    On MLB EI I keep getting a message that says upcoming and no game (CH 471). I don't get 640. Any help?

    what channel is this on on direct tv?

    I think Lee or Zambrano would fetch the most in a trade.

    Jeff "cowboy" Brantly makes people with intellectual disabilities look like geniuses. Thom is a legacy hire, nothing more can be said.

    Double Farts!

    Ok the Cubs didn't look this bad in their first game. Asleep at the wheel.

    stop trying to steal

    I suppose that I should have made it be known that I was only half serious in the first post. Which half is up for debate.

    Could we make one thread in baseball discussions for the each day's game? That way all the idiotic overreaction can be corralled into one thread. Then if anyone makes a new thread about some aspect of the day's game it gets locked and the person gets banned or something (or at least a harsh rebuke).

    I'm not going to guarantee it b/c the Brewers won the game, but I'm betting we'll be seeing a bench clearer between the two teams at some point. Weeks looked plenty pissed at his second beaning. There will be some payback on Wednesday.

    No, it began a long time ago, probably around August of 2007.

    Aside from Theriot I liked what I saw at the plate today from the entire Cubs team. Sheets was dealing. Z and Charlie Marbles were outstanding. Wood pitched poorly, but I don't expect outings like that too often. Shake it off and go get them on Wednesday.

    Yea, that's nonsense.

    ] The entire city of Memphis might be on fire, but we usually just call that Tuesday.

    Prior gets unfairly lumped in with Prior.

    Actually that's wrong. If someone is trying to find clutch the only way to do it will be to show that some sample of players (N) has it and some sample (N-1) doesn't. The problem lies in comparing only two players. If it is real it must be a repeatable phenomenon across many ABs for player X. The larger the sample of ABs the smaller the need to show a difference to make it significant, though. Without giving it much thought I would think one could do it by looking at an equal number (say a season's worth) of ABs in and out of "clutch" situations. The real problem is labeling what is a clutch situation and what is not? Is hitting in the first inning as clutch as hitting in the 4th inning or the 9th inning? Is bating against Sidney Ponson as hard as batting against Johan Santana, and the list goes on and on. That's why it's a useless argument.

    I know it's only ST but the only thing I like about Fukudome's game is his throwing arm. I'm a lot worried that he'll be more like Kaz than Hideki. Time will tell.

    Whoa whoa whoa. 10 at-bats? Francoeur had 182 at-bats with RISP last season, 172 the year before, and 112 (out of 257 total) in 2005. Let's look at the situations for Casey Blake: 2007 Bases empty: .308 .382 .517 Runners on: .227 .289 .344 RISP: .190 .271 .294 2006: Bases empty: .315 .380 .562 Runners on: .242 .329 .379 RISP: .261 .360 .450 2005 Bases empty: .278 .351 .535 Runners on: .192 .250 .308 RISP: .171 .243 .248 2004 Bases empty: .280 .364 .544 Runners on: .261 .343 .426 RISP: .254 .359 .364 2003 Bases empty: .269 .327 .416 Runners on: .239 .291 .404 RISP: .233 .291 .426 Career Bases Empty: .286 .357 .504 Runners on: .234 .303 .372 RISP: .219 .303 .348 RISP w/2 outs: .195 .290 .302 That's not a coincidence guys, and it's not due to small numbers of at-bats. Those are large sample sizes and a definitive trend. How can you look at those numbers and say he's not more or likely to suck in clutch stats than a guy like Franceour? Now, you can't look at every player in baseball and determine whether he's clutch or not, but for guys like Casey Blake, you absolutely can. That is known as a case study. Case studies have extremely limited generalizability. In other words, ah forget it carry on... I told myself I wouldn't post in this thread.

    wow, would you like a diagram or something? That would be awesome if you could do it. I'd like it to be a Venn. BTW> Sabean looks like that jerk on the Food Network who goes to Diners and cooks.

    Why? Please make it stop. Please?
