this is nuts

Go for 2! edit: didn't realize they were down 8. Tie game!
-
Tom Tango answered 10 questions from Mike Silva about sabermetrics over at the book blog. It's a great read. link
-
yea, that was ridiculous, and I usually think they call charges too easily.
-
The officiating is terrible in this game; Hightower is terrible.

Oh Dear God ESPN - Best defensive infielder of decade
woodchip2153 replied to CubbieBum's topic in General Baseball Talk
Top of my head, (assuming they're not talking strictly defense) they're probably right. ARod, even if he played SS for only half the decade, he was the best SS of the decade. And I thought Utley was a defensive liability. UZR has Utley as the best since 2007. Link -
Dienhart is a writer for Rivals. Any speculation who the "big" hire could be? Lovie Smith???
-
Very impressive. I think it's the first complete game they've played all year. They had some lapses, but they were able to settle down and hit some shots. I'm starting to get worried about handling Mizzou's pressure, but then I remember it's Mizzou and I feel better.

oops, my bad.

Illinois off to a great start.

I'm watching the Ohio St. vs. Illinois game from 1/6/2000 on BTN. I don't remember #32 Brown from Illinois and these guys look smaller than I remember too.

How did that prove your point? Zambrano has a better winning percentage than 41 of the the 68 pitchers in the HOF. Are you saying that Zambrano is a HOF pitcher? $2 million+ per win in 2009. What a bargain, Hendry. Oh wait..his VORP and WHIP were great. =D> =D> This is funny because teams paid $3.5mil per win last year in free agency, IIRC, so 2mil per win is a bargain.

I know there are a couple other people who like looking at Pitch f/x stuff. Via THT is this blog post of the different pitch f/x tools out there. http://rzar.wordpress.com/2009/12/05/a-pitch-fx-online-summary-and-a-bonus-new-pitch-fx-tool/

I'm mad at myself for not recording that game. I guess I'll have to catch the replay on the BTN.
-
Wasn't that the exact opposite of last years game? Didn't Illinois get out to a lead at home vs. Clemson last year and blow it in the second half? Or am I making things up again?
-
Wow what a game and what a comeback! glad I didn't put in a movie at the half. Now we just need to learn how to play two halves, even though McCamey being out in the first half had a lot to do with it tonight.
-
What happened to our defense?
-
When do you bring McCamey back in?
-
The refs have been brutal thus far. how did the clemson player jump and come down with the ball with out a jump ball?
-
wow that was one of the worst charge calls I have ever seen and it takes our best player out of the game.
-
What happened?
-
Looks like Purdue is getting ready to go on a run and pull away from WF

It's actually not common sense at all. It's an assumption made with nothing to support it. It doesnt' make any sense at all to assume one player will play worse, and have worse stats, because Milton Bradley is on his team. It's a really stupid idea actually, with no support. just because it's hard to quantify, doesn't mean there is no support. in THT Live one of the guys estimated that mlb team values chemistry at about 2 wins, IIRC. He based this on a very small sample of players that get waived or go unsigned are usually at 2 WAR. That's just what I remember from an article written in August or September.
