  1. The other office I worked at in the same company had toto washlets in the bathrooms. It was amazing and the only thing I miss about not working in Chicago.
  2. Seriously though... STOP [expletive] BUNTING.

  5. Are other people doing it? I've only seen Valbuena. Strop did it during his celebration last night.
  6. Anyone know what the little backwards peace sign over the eye symbol that everyone does means?
  7. The whole selfie thing in general sucks. Just what we need, ways for people to be more narcissistic. More importantly, it blocks half of the WGN 7th Inning [expletive] Cam
  8. That's exactly what happened to me. We could've been there for each other, David. We could've taken the purple line and the yellow line and met at the red line (I'm in Skokie tonight) How #bromantic

  10. Yeah, that was pretty fuzzy. Kind of a throw in at the end of an article. Some sort of index is needed to help attribute/estimate the extent of strike zone drivers.
  11. I get that it is pitch f/x data, but how reliable is that for determining the strike zone in every stadium? Each stadium is obviously uniquely designed which makes their systems at least questionable as to the accuracy of how it is measuring strikes. It is one thing to judge speed and movement of any one pitch, but the strike zone is fluid throughout the league, from ump to ump, batter to batter. There are a whole bunch of reasons why a pitch that any one stadium's system determines to be in the zone may be called a ball. The cameras track the trajectory of the ball, and it's accurate to within an inch. Since mounds, distances to the plate, and size of the plate are consistent from park to park, the data will be consistent across the board. There can be fluctuations from park-to-park. See point 3 here. The fluctuations aren't in the data, they're in the conditions at the park. Right, but the net result is the same. The same pitch thrown in 2 different parks can look differently in the data.
  12. By definition it always maintains consistency from park to park. I'm not sure how you could even think otherwise here. You not aware how motion tracking cameras work? It's not all on the framer, but that's a part of it. Again, it has to do with camera calibration in each park. The system and measurement tools are the same in each park, but there are slight differences in how they measure.

  14. I can't remember whether I posted this here, but Kellogg came out with a "pitcher respect" strike zone analysis earlier this week: Link
  15. both he & Rizzo have the same wRC+, fwiw I don't think it's w much, given that we're talking about fewer than 40 PAs. Who cares?
