    question from someone following this online: did the cards take about 20 seconds to pick leinart?
  2. Careless
    His average is up to .275 now, but as someone else mentioned, he only has the one walk and isn't getting a whole lot of extra base hits or anything. 2 hr and 1 double in 40 ab, works out to 240 bases in 600 ABs. He's actually slugging decently because of the high percentage of HR (.450) Anyway, he still needs some improvement to be worthwhile

    And a walk. How dare Corey try when his team is already winning? He didn't walk. Only has 1 walk on the season, apparently

    Yes, I'm fairly confident that's what he's saying, and that means he doesn't understand averages I would say that taking such a small sample size and stating that will continue for a whole season doesn't understanding averages. Now that, on the other hand, is something that no one has argued. (well, it was not being argued in the part of the thread I replied to. I'm sure someone, somewhere, has done so.)

    All those numbers mean is that he is due for a hot streak to get back to career norms. The team has been winning despite his struggles, so hopefully they continue winning when he comes around. Same canbe said for Aramis Ramirez. Even if his numbers were much, much worse than what you could expect for him, there's no reason to think he'll get a hot streak to average it out. Averages do not work that way. Yes, they do. That is exactly why they are called averages. I wonder, do you just realize what you said? You just said that if you flipped a coin 10 times and it came up heads 10 times in a row, it would come up tails the next 10 times. I don't think that is what he meant. Using your example, oldcubsfan would say that if you flipped a coin ten times and it came up heads 6 times out of ten, then on avg. its more likely to come up heads than tails. Or something. then he would be arguing that averages mean jones is more likely to play below his previous numbers and continue his slump. Definitely not what ocf was saying.

    I'm pretty sure they said it was, although I didn't see it on the TV. I think it was a 3-1 pitch and Jones swung and missed. nothing like trying a hit and run using a guy on a pace to strike out 150+ times while hitting under .250 and walking 35 times
  9. Careless
    So since I was in the car and pat/ron didn't explain, was murton's CS on a blown hit and run? Did dusty really call for a hit and run with jones batting?

    good to know i'm not the only one who thinks like that..... and on a random tangent Marx had some good ideas, who here has actually read the manifesto?(not meant as an insult) I have and I think marx laid out good ideas, but he didn't account for what I would call the human element, also its not his fault his ideas were perverted by some power hungry soviets. The Manifesto? No ideas there, or, at least, not any in a form to be of any real use. Read Capital.

    gotta love the string of horrible-singing teams who also manage to sing far too fast
  13. Careless
    that's not a play you see often

    don't worry,they're working on it

    So to quickly recap: he starts of by saying that edmonds doesn't have the traditional stats to get in, but modern SABR methods of looking at players might do it for him. He looks at him with these methods and Edmonds comes up well short in every single category. From this he concludes that Edmonds is a likely HOF CF.

    I should have asked Dusty if he'd agree to a Q&A, huh? That would set a new record for "veiled criticism" questions... I can't begin to imagine how editing the questions to be ready for Q&A would be. Tim or whoever does it would probably wind up hating themselves whichever way they went

    It seems like that, but IIRC, the average height of the adult American male is right around 5'8" I thought it was more like 5'11". I feel about average and I'm 6'1" I just checked, and it seems to be just a shade over 5'9" it peaked at just under 5'11" and has been going down for a few decades due to shifts in immigration. As probably both the biggest and hardest thrower here, I'll nominate myself for closer/setup. [plus that means I get to be lazy and only play a few innings a year] [/pretending i'm not old]

    Remember the chit chat thread?
  20. Careless
    So essentially you're giving him credit for not having gotten injured yet? He's been the only full time player on the team. That's why he's gotten hits.
  21. Careless
    espn had a list of amusing injuries last season. there were a fair number and they were pretty good.
  22. Careless
    You are correct. He has hit some balls hard, just right at people. Wow, I just defended Jones. :shock: that would be in the half of his ABs he didn't strike out in?
  23. Careless
    sure they do, if they swing and miss at hittable pitches often. Dunn doesn't have the bat control of bonds.
  24. Careless
    whoever is doing the postgame just said "wuertz had his first tough game"
  25. Careless
    strike 3, but a terrible call
