Verlander will f*** Rasmus tomorrow

[kcjaysfan]

Yeah, that's coming up pretty soon. We have all the analysis finished, and a fair amount of the paper is written, but we need to get our discussion section fleshed out enough so we can send it to our collaborators.

 

Dammit, and now that the thunderstorms have let up here, the chest thumpers have started blowing s*** up. I guess they forgot to look at their calendars. 'Murica!

[kcjaysfan]

Same stage, just no collaborators aside from a partner I typically work with. Just cleaning up the analysis and trying to finish a coherent discussion.

 

I have about six to eight other folks who've provided some input, and data, so they'll all be on the paper, but the only person who's been working directly with me on it is my current advisor.

That's why I believe in building for sustainable success - you can't just assemble a 25-man roster that looks good and expect to win in a given season. That's not how baseball works. The best organizations run a quality team out there year after year after year. Sometimes they make the playoffs. Most of the time they don't. This was a good 25-man roster, but one with very serious concerns about depth in the lineup and bench. There was no depth outside the 25-man. Anything but a great run of health and quality individual seasons from all key players was going to derail the season.

 

It wouldn't be a big deal if we were built conventionally. Let the kids develop, add a player and take another kick at the can. That isn't how this team was assembled though. 2013 was going to be their best chance to win. Now they're old, expensive, and frankly, not very good.

 

Remember we preached this on the old board after the big moves, and we were told to stfu and enjoy it?

Looks like I chose the right game to skip

Been saying it all year, JJ is terrible.

 

What a god awful trade

 

AA is a clown

[fatcowxlive]

Take a look at his peripherals. JJ is not terrible, he has been above average, but just really really unlucky so far.

 

My problem with him is that he sometimes loses control and throws WAY too many pitches. It seems to be the norm to hit 55 pitches in the middle of 3 innings of work with this guy

LOL

 

Umm

 

Ya..

 

He's f***ing terrible, he pitches like a Girl not sure if she wants to let her bf get to 2nd base.

[dineke]

Unlucky??? he has not been unlucky, he has been what he is, great one minute bad the next. He often gets rattled and loses control of his pitches. Major disappointment.
