    i guess we should start complimenting him every time he successfully does a double switch without sending the wrong guy up to bad the next inning

    So how the hell did he know Kerry and Prior would get injured. Dont tell me they are injury prone either. Percival has been hurt in the past. And priors injury was a total freak accident. Prior just has weak bones. If he would have had stronger bones then that ball would have bounced off of him and he would have been fine. We need to feed him calcium pills. one time i saw prior and z after the game at the grocery store and carlos zambrano was like "hey i do believe i will purchase some milk" and mark was all like "i dont drink that stuff because i choose to have weak, easily breakable bones because i like to get injured because that means i get to go back to my mansion sooner" Was Carlos yelling it into his glove while he grabbed himself? no he was just mumbling it to himself while reading off of his grocery list

    I know where to find the linear weights values for singles and doubles and all, but do you know of any websites that keep updated/any form of LW stats in season?

    If Jim Hendry and said he was about to trade for either Lofton or Pierre, and give up what the Phillies/Marlins each believed was fair market value for the player, and he asked me which deal to make, I'd go with Lofton.

    If you remove all punctuation and just make your posts into one long, run-on sentence, you will be my new favorite poster. This expert agrees. modzilla's here, everyone duck

    OMLOMLOML hardball times now has individual player pages link Lofton's babip is high, but not insanely so. ld% is way way way up from last year though (15.8% vs 24.4%). Pass. THT just got bumped up the bookmark list. They should add career and/or splits though. agreed. theres no reason to not go ahead and throw win shares on the pages too, though. and since they have 2004 babip, ld%, g/f, etc. numbers, they should put them on there too. hopefully the current pages are just preliminary.

    BK actually did a study on this and found that small ball teams don't really score runs more consistently than long ball teams. He just found that they tend to score fewer runs. geech past 1000!

    What's the cuh-RAY-zee-ist thing you've ever done?

    We have to play the Cardinals now. That's usually bad. If Z doesn't get hurt, I'll consider it a moral victory.

    You can't just lump all situational stats into a category to dismiss. I mean, technically, all statistics are situational. I definitely wouldn't consider career situational splits like RISP, or men on with 2 outs to show any discernable talent for such situations - but how they perform in various splits *this year* still stands to tell part of the story (especially when the difference is significant to his total season numbers.) From year to year these numbers can drastically change - but from month to month your offensive numbers can change drastically while situational splits remain pretty similar. I'd say that has to mean SOMETHING? I don't believe there are clutch hitters - there are only clutch hits. But hitters can have quite a difference "situationally" in their approach and by that the result. Like I said before, if it were the only difference it wouldn't make or break the deal for me. In fact, I'd be much more concerned with this away numbers and the fact that Wrigley isn't exactly built for his type of game. He has struggled in many aspects of his game this year. What's there to say that he'd goto Wrigley and perform better? Gut feeling? so if juan pierre were 6 for 9 this month with risp, youd want him more?

    I've said this for quite some time, when a pitcher is throwing a side session, I'd have Corey stand in there (fully armored) and when the thought process clicks whether the pitch is a strike or a ball, I'd have him call the pitch and have a coach act as the ump. Next, you'd have to chart the pitches to see over an extended period of time, if he is improving at this exercise. This would do 2 things, it would likely carry over and get him to relax more when deciding in that millisecond whether that pitch is a ball or strike. Also, the more pitches he sees in that situation, it would likely improve his batting eye. They might have tried it, but I have never heard of anything like this. I actually did this with the softball team I coached last summer. It was amazing how far off a few of the girls were with their concept of the strike zone was, especially on outside pitches. I think it really helped.

    some people (like me) don't value those situational stats at all
