i've always found that it helps to read a thread before responding to it. had soccer actually done this, he would have picked up on the fact that cubbies36 was Sean's dad. so im left wondering, did soccer actually read the thread b4 jumping in? was he purposefully being an ass? either way, he at least needs to work on his reading comprehension. Good grief.... are you blowing this game off, too ??

The problem is that there's not enough sample size for Gallagher as a starter to properly evaluate, which was kind of my point. There's been several people saying that Gallagher's outing(s) haven't been great because he got lucky with giving up hard shots, he was even compared to Ryan F. O'Malley. That obviously hasn't been the case, and when those people claim "irrational exuberance" from those excited about a player of Gallagher's potential replacing the dead ends of Marquis/Lieber, it's easy to understand why they'd be aggravated. You know.... Ryan O'Malley's middle name is Joseph ? :wink:

I think that was more of an example why the 9th isn't always the most important inning. I would guess it's roughly normally distributed between all 9 lineup possibilities. Probably, I've just seen 7-8-9 v 3-4-5 hitter situation argued many times on the board, as if it happened all the time. If this helps.... this is a distribution by batting order of 9th inning plate appearances..... 03/31 - 05/17 PA batting 1st 9 batting 2nd 11 batting 3rd 14 batting 4th 10 batting 5th 12 batting 6th 12 batting 7th 11 batting 8th 15 batting 9th 11 You're a great man Fred! Always coming through for us helpless bad-at-stats people. :D So, if I'm reading this right, a closer will typically face some combination that includes the 3rd hitter or 8th hitter the most. But, I'm not sure anything can be conclusively drawn from it. Yeah, but you've got a mean of 11.67 and a std dev of just under 2.... so, there's no real conclusion to draw. This is a pretty flat distribution.
