Abomination

Every time they talk about the splits, I keep picturing JFaS pulling out his hair and yelling at the tv lol.

They'd probably let the new GM decide, or they think that keeping Torts in there another 3 games will improve the Canucks draft position

Hmm, you're right I did. Could have sworn Allen Craig had gotten a hit on the 6th.

I forgot to set it Monday and had my streak wiped

Just for the hell of it, I'll go with Lind. Prove you can hit lefties boy!

All SSS, but his splits are rather interesting. 1.50 gb/fb vs lefties, 0.67 gb/fb vs righties (hence the xFIP differences). Lefties hitting .287 against him, righties .216. Sets the table for a rather fascinating argument lol. Some interesting things from looking at Brooks (ignoring the spring start): [TABLE=width: 500] [TR] [TD=align: center]Handedness [/TD] [TD=align: center]Fourseam [/TD] [TD=align: center]Sinker [/TD] [TD=align: center]Change [/TD] [TD=align: center]Curve [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]vs Lefties [/TD] [TD]161 [/TD] [TD]53 [/TD] [TD]28 [/TD] [TD]93 [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]vs Righties [/TD] [TD]381 [/TD] [TD]149 [/TD] [TD]224 [/TD] [TD]126 [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Now according to Fangraphs, his changeup is (by far) his best pitch, but he doesn't throw it to lefties very often. So are his better results vs righties due to the change with xFIP throwing us for a loop, or is xFIP correct? To muddy things even further (just because), his GB rate with the change is actually good... Regardless, it's all pretty SSS anyway.

It was during the last few innings of the home opener last night too in a close game. Hard to believe considering the ticket prices people paid for that game.

One problem down, one to go!

Fanduel has a hockey freeroll tonight for anyone interested.

It's for a good cause, so I'm in!

Okay, that's a good one lol

If you're serious about asking this question, you should seek medical help. Maybe get your chromosomes tested too.

no kidding, including her

The announcers in the Van-Ana game: ... you should do the anthem. I'd be the male version of Roseanne Barr. That's redundant, isn't it? For anyone not getting some of the reference to the anthem,

Stop trying to devalue your trade targets!

Wouldn't umpire bias potentially dominate the results (unless JFaS adjusted on past umpire numbers)? The number of pitches may not be a small sample size, but the number of games with different umpires is.

Wow, 4-2 game in the home opener and Yankee Stadium looks like what you'd expect from the Rays.

Yup. That was Sierraesque right there!

Lol, CC started grabbing his glove and heading out before Hutch even threw that last pitch!

I bet the majority of that ugliness vs lefties was against late inning relievers though (wish they broke it down that far). I just think CC is the kind of pitcher to play him against. Definitely sit him vs guys like Price, etc.

I'm all for sitting Lind against the nasty lefties, but CC throwing high 80's doesn't qualify imo. He should be in there in games like this, at least for a few months at which time it can be reevaluated.

I don't know how the vBulletin software works, but is there a way that you can statically cache the pages like every 15s to 30s and then only serve the cached pages? If each item (person, avatar, date, content, etc) all do database queries in real time, each refresh probably does 1000 queries.

Ump just gave Jeter a retirement gift.

Go-Go Goggles!

Yeah, it's great! We seem to be breaking some kind of rule though that all Yankee games have to be 4hr+
