Ryan Howard - Will he live up to the hype?

[schillingouttheks]

therefore x+y+z=29 and none of the variables can be = to or be less than 0.

 

Happy CB? now there's no negative integers, and im sure ORS is a genious at math btw

 

everything in life is a variable, and it all results into an equation

 

boastful + unintelligence = you

 

varaibles dont need to be numbers

 

Explain yourself. You already gave us domain restrictions

 

You do know what a domain is, right?

id consider that quite successful

 

im in Calc BC in my senior year of HS, and intend on majoring in math; i love math

nevermind

 

you win - i got to go to my next class.

happy?

Holy s*** there's no way in hell you're a senior. If you really are, well, you act like a sixth grader.

Only if you don't come back.

im just saying that there are mony factors that can conclude to the reasoning of Howard only hitting 29 HRs.

x= more BB, more SO

y= smarter pitchers

z= more workload because of lack of team production

 

therefore x+y+z=29 and none of the variables can be = to or be less than 0.

You really are a f***ing moron.

[ANiMAL]

that statement is very out there - any reasoning?

 

 

btw, schillingouttheks - im glad that you can only be happy if i leave - nice to know im preventing your happiness

You saying x+y+z = 29 doesn't make any sense. Have you taken into account what he has done in the minors? His numbers show a trend of power numbers, not an aberration. Last year may have been odd because he hit 58, but it really isn't out of the ordinary for him to hit 40+, especially in that ballpark of his.

 

You are honestly saying that if Howard remains healthy and plays in a comparable number of games this year, half of which are in the same park, his HR total will be cut in half? A small drop, maybe 10-15 HRs less is logical, but almost a 30 HR drop?

 

That doesn't make any sense at all.

How many times does he need to post it?!?

 

x + y + z = 29.........DUH!

f***. OF COURSE!!!111!!1

Ryan Howard's tears can cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.

I expected more from you.

[jacksonianmarch]

I expected more from you.

 

I tried. Coming up short these days. Give me a little break though. I just had 400 questions worth of pain today. I'm a little slow.

Fair enough....but Chuck Norris jokes?

 

That's the act of a desperate man, Jacko.

right now I dont know my elbow from my arsehole. Norris jokes are the default. Tomorrow I may have something original.

[TheKilo]

Yeah this was a good call PS.

[TheKilo]

47th today.

[See Red]

29 HR's... Right on the money with that prediction, Animal. Keep up the good work. Granted, his average does suck.

[ORS]

x + y + z = 29

 

Right up there with the mass/energy transformation equation, if you ask me.

[redsoxrules]

47 and he missed 15 games too

[ANiMAL]

I was only dead wrong on homers. I was correct on the decrease in average, but i didnt think it'd decrease that much. Everything else seemed close.

 

AVG HR RBI BB SO OBP

Predicted 0.297 29 120 120 192 0.415

Actual 0.268 47 136 107 199 0.392

% Error 10.8 -38.3 -11.8 12.1 -3.5 5.9

 

 

I dont think my predictions were too off from what he actually did (aside from homeruns).

 

My question was "Will he live up to the hype?"

And the answer is yes.

[schillingouttheks]

Yeah, but a player who hits 29 home runs is a lot different from a player that will hit 47.

[Cocos Disciples]

You said he was a fluke. You were dead wrong on that too.
