no, you're thinking internet cafes

is part of the "prize" for this a chance to chat with Len and Bob on the air after you sing? -
Are you kidding me? Did you watch us let Dusty play out the string and then just not re-sign him? Yes sir, he got it bad. that'll learn him
-
this franchise isn't exactly celebrated for it's culpability
-
i can't believe the Cubs couldn't lift the bats off their collective shoulders. amazing
-
Trade him for a PTBNL, then just call Dave Littlefield and tell him to send whoever the PTBNL from the Izturis trade to Boston instead of Chicago. PROFIT!

We are using 1998 for both, right? Olerud made 385 outs, creating 9.61 runs per 27 outs. Sosa 480 and 8.82. And Sosa's OPS was slightly higher. The runs created formulas are what should be used. But most of us don't tote those around with us or can quickly calculate them on the spot. When confronted with OPS your response must be quick. SLG*OBP is something most of us can handle. lest I sound too much like a Sosa homer (which I'm not): Sosa (1998 MVP) = 156.8 RC McGwire = 179.9 RC

Stop trying to strike out every batter. so hill should stop having such a good curve ball, and zambrano should stop having so much movement on his pitches? those guys can't help it that they're high k pitchers (not that they should want to change it)...high k guys are going to get a lot of foul balls. a pitcher who is trying to strike guys out is pitching to miss the bat, meaning he is generally nibbling the corners or trying to get batters to chase bad pitches rather than pitching to contact and allowing his defense to make outs
-
FWIW, using AB*OBP*SLG, Sosa = 156.8 RC Olerud = 137.1 RC for that reason alone, I expect Meph to completely discredit the formula ;)
-
But OBP*SLG*ABs approximates Runs. So it would seem easy to compare two players by adjusting Runs for outs used. Two .800 OPS guys, one .400 OBP and one .300 OBP, the .400 guy would create more runs and would use fewer outs. At that point though you might as well just use one of the more accurate Runs Created formulas. That's what I was getting at. It's slightly better than the widely available OPS, but not as good as the still widely available better RC formulas, EqA, etc. how accurate is it compared to the more complicated formulas?

while I too get annoyed at the constant clamoring for all things youthy and prospecty, I don't really think anyone wants this: Fontenot Murton Lee Ramirez Pie Fox Soto Theriot

50 finalists, broken into 10 groups of 5. The 10 winners of the daily rounds compete on August 27th for the prize
-
what is the general opinion (among sabermetricians) of the following Runs Created formula: AB's x OBP x SLG :?:
-
vance is gonna win by a landslide. it will be ugliest final vote since Reagan vs. Mondale
-
Drop Soriano, add Dunn please
-
just sent the voting link to my sister and to my wife
-
I probably wouldn't have advanced if I did. As much as I wanted, so read the rules carefully. were there explicit rules against mentioning thing like that?
-
that video is great. It's funny since nobody has any "accents" when you read them, so despite the fact that you, OleMissCub, etc. are from the south, I just never apply the accent to your posts. Now we all know what you sound like! FWIW, you should have plugged NSBB by name. :)
-
Um, change in plans: http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/fan_forum/guest_conductor_2.jsp New finalists are up, and non are Vance. Looks like they changed your day

8/7 Cubs (Marshall) @ Astros (Williams) 7:05 PM CSN

Glass Half Full: Cubs are 5-5 in their last 10 games, but the Brewers are 3-7 -
nice signature Thank you. except the Cubs didn't spend $300 million in the off season. are you a member of the baseball writers of america?
-
STATS, Inc. keeps track of every pitch of every game. I'm sure they would have the answer
-
well, it's been August 7th for 8 1/2 hours now (central time) and the August 6th kids are still up there. When do those cubs.com people get to work?
-
interestingly, the Brewers have slumped at exactly the same times the Cubs have this year. Back in May, the Cubs went something like 10-20 but gained a game in the standings. Likewise, the Cubs are now 5-5 in their past 10 games while the Brewers are 3-7.
