I'll have something up on Monday. Probably relating to the Jays current situation.

[GD]

[GD]

Yes. someone found out he was still posting

 

He got Hurl to ban him but wanted it to look like it was o2 because even he's sick of o2 power tripping. Y'know, just saying..

Alright, I published this on the predictive quality of xSeries, using July: http://www.breakingblue.ca/2015/08/09/using-july-stats-to-discern-predictive-quality-of-our-batted-ball-and-plate-discipline-models/

 

Will get something up on the Blue Jays soon as well.

[admin]

Yeah I got hurl's message, but only recieved a 1/4 of it for some reason.

I'll get that guy set up as a writer very soon. I'm putting my house up for sale tomorrow, so last few weeks have been hectic.

[NorthOf49]

Apparently Hurl has resigned as mod? Something should probably be done about moderation on the forums. Regulars are getting very frustrated.

 

 

There are many more clicks out there to grab right now, because of the run the Jays are on. I'm writing an article about Aaron Sanchez's approach as a reliever, and would like to start writing about attendance patterns too. GD said he was going to write something for this week. If Baubau gets set up, he already has an article that can release tomorrow.

 

BTS, you've outlined many times on the forum how Mark Buehrle is able to out-perform his peripherals (fielding his position, running game suppression). Could you possible just put those thoughts into a 600 word article? Having small articles like that to throw into the mix would go a long way.

[GD]

Yeah. None of the good posters post anymore, and guys like Clomero, Dogg and metallijay get chance after chance while legitimate contributors get banned on sight.

 

I'll get something up this week. I want to contribute something very meaningful but until we start getting regular content up I might have to focus on helping with getting that content up, more so, so I'll just find something to write 800 words on. Let's get Baubau signed up.

Started on a Dioner Navarro article.

I was going to start writing again, then I started a new job where I do a lot of the same things I'd be doing if I were writing, and writing just sounds like more work now.

600 words just write themselves tbh. Think of it like making a post on the main board, without all the stupid people.

[Laika]

I will start writing the odd short article, just to support you guys, more than anything.

 

You have my word - which is worth very little.

[BTS]

Also, I'm pretty sure I'm locked out of the e-mail I recently had Juiced attach to my wordpress account. So there's that.

Nice! Looking forward to it, Nick.

[GD]

Is Baubau still not signed up?...

[John_Havok]

Idea for an article, the case for/against resigning Estrada.

Would you like to write that?

[John_Havok]

I'm looking into it. It just looks like his HR rate is what's saving his ass this year.

[GD]

You could pump out 600 words on it.

[NorthOf49]

I'm going to pump out a 600-800 article on Kevin Pillar for tomorrow. I'm also still going to write the Aaron Sanchez reliever article (zone% by count, comparing starting/relieving), I've just been busy the last two nights (was at the games!).

 

Would be great if you could pump out a 600 word piece on Estrada, John_Havok. GD got over 100 views on his Martin article yesterday and it was barely promoted (standard board and twitter). The Blue Jays hype is real and 600 word articles are fine.

 

Is Baubau signed up yet?

[GD]

No, Baubau still isn't signed up lmao

[GD]

Juiced I PM'd you on August 6th and it's now August 15th. We are losing a lot of content without Baubau posting.

[NorthOf49]

Ju1cedd, please add Baubau... also the forum has been over-run by trolls and spam... posting has become pretty pointless.

[admin]

Added him.

And as mentiond I will clean out some guys in this forum who are no longer writing.

[GD]

Sorry about that baubau, welcome

[baubau]

Aweeeeee yeah!! Thanks peeps. . Excited to be here. Have no idea to write about. Maybe Justin Smoak season in review?
