    So he did it once every 32 BF - pretty much once a game. I am not impressed! For comparison, Carlos Marmol has gone to a 3-0 count on 215 batters thus far. At his current rate, if he plays until he is 42 like Maddux did, Marmol will have done it 602 times. Thus Marmol > Maddux (644). Impressive. (Okay at his current rate Marmol is really doing it 43 times a year and that will give him 645, one more than Maddux, but I'm betting on Marmol getting hurt once).

    Notice that their MLB.com id's are only 7 away from each other. Mc comes before Mi, so McNutt's got him beat there and that's of course the difference maker.

    Magic! No really. http://www.statcorner.com/pitcher.php?id=571946 - Shelby Miller http://www.statcorner.com/pitcher.php?id=571939 - Trey McNutt

    You don't care about how many hits and walks they're giving up? Really? Not his hits, really. How are hits completely inconsequential? Sure, the fielders are worse, and the fields are also worse... but so are the hitters. Does a pitcher have any control whether or ball is hit ten feet to the left of the shortstop, or right at him? But, a pitcher does have some control over the type of batted ball against him. Now, could Miller have given up more line drives than McNutt? Now, you're right, AA hitters are better than Low A hitters, so we would expect them to get more liners off of pitchers. So could McNutt's LD% in the MWL have been lower than Miller's? So...

    Fixed.

    Sure would be nice to have one (or two) more 120+ OPS Soriano years.

    Pretty good. Seemed real eager to make a good impression. It was nice having someone being able to at least attempt some kind of analysis. i listened to the first three innings of the game. nothing more than your typical old school baseball analysis. it also sounded to me like he was trying to explain things to people who have never watched or listened to a game. lots of sac bunting talk. steals, etc.

    So our number three hitter is likely to have a lower OPS than our leadoff hitter, cleanup, 5th slot, 6th slot, 7th slot, hell maybe even the guy in the 9 spot.

    So he's advocating another team or two in the New York metro area? NYC was able to support 3 MLB teams when it was half the population it is now. I see no reason why it couldn't again. Not that I support moving a team into the NY metro area. I'm just making a point. Oh, I agree that it would work fine. But it's something that he should be against.

    Chin-hui Tsao was a stud coming up. He apparently touched 101 some. But I found this funny (from his wiki)

    Who cares about their WHIP? I don't.
  14. Northside Blues
    Ironically, Miller has the results and the name.
  15. Northside Blues
    defenders in low a suck and BABIPs are generally fairly high. For instance league BABIP in the Midwest League last year was .320. Somehow I don't think his .347 BABIP is going to stick. Especially with a 2.42 FIP.

    Gonzalez doesn't count; he wasn't there. Teixeira has no idea how to win. I mean come on he only has one world series ring. Pena started 131 games on a team that lost 119 games. WIN!

    Somewhere ignoring any and all baseball news? Apparently so. I'll admit, I definitely crawled inside myself from about the beginning of August to the end of September He had 31 home runs then. In fact, he led the majors from mid may on.

    Last year 8 position players pitched. Only two of them pitched in an extra inning game, the others blowouts. Felipe Lopez and Joe Mather both pitched in the 20 inning Mets/Cardinals game. Lopez came in to pitch inning #18 for the Cardinals. Joe Mather pitched innings #19 and 20. None pitched inning fourteen.

    Pecota has the Cubs at 80-82, including that terrible pitching staff. Solid starting pitching should get us another 5-6 wins.
  21. Northside Blues
    A simple "Cuba" would have sufficed.

    Milwaukee's payroll went from 27 mil to 70 mil in four years (2003-07), 80 mil in 08.
  23. Northside Blues
    Their payroll is actually going to be lower than it was last year, with the Werth contract....and still be less than half the payroll of the TWINS. Yes they could push it to 100 mil within one or two years, 120 mil within four or so. The Twins payroll is supposed to be 112 mil this year. Their payroll in 2008 was 56 million, exactly half that so doubled in three years. Even in 2009 it was only 65 mil. And the Twins aren't nearly in the same financial position as the Nationals. Of course they had good teams so there's that, but it's possible.
  24. Northside Blues
    They could sign Albert Pujols and CC Sabathia and still be second in the division to the Phillies for three years.
  25. Northside Blues
    Really? This perplexes me. Who are some other guys who ages shock you?
