But the ads are a big part of what pays for it all.
-
Of course, if the length of the games is only tolerable when you DVR them, that might be a problem.
-
Pretty incredible that Chief Wahoo is still Chief Wahoo.
-
A salary dump for the ages.
-
I guess your point is that the protection effect occurs in some isolated instances, but not consistently. Sort of like really cheap condoms?
-
Certainly the best trade in which no actual talent was acquired.
-
Yes, it's hard to believe how many people forget we acquired Loney, De la Rosa, Webster, Sands and DeJesus all in that deal. (Obligatory mention of Miley and Holt spinoff trades...)
-
The fact that almost everyone gets put on waivers in August isn't very interesting. But some of the talent that gets moved in August can be surprising, like Murphy and Adams. And of course our Punto trade with the Dodgers occurred in August 2012.

Maybe it's time for you to explain why you are so preoccupied with what happens in particular games here and there instead of what happens over a long period of time?

Station 13 must got have gotten in touch with Cora LOL

Right you are. I have some numbers.
-
I think you might be right. I'm going to check this out a bit.
-
Although one might argue that if a team can get through a whole season lucky, that's all that matters, because next year it will be a different team.
-
Although sometimes the luck can continue for a whole season.

danny, please do not invoke the memory of Al Nipper.
-
And at the end of the day, teams are averaging about 4.5 runs a game, which is probably pretty close to the all-time average. The strategies and skills might change a bit but the end results are still around the same.
-
Personally I like talking about this kind of stuff. My feeling is that the man who has the most info at his fingertips, both the numbers and the intangibles, is the manager. I put a lot of faith in Cora to be able to balance all that stuff out. My feeling is that he's pretty good at it.
-
As Kimmi has said many times, it's also important to know which guys are most comfortable hitting in which spots, and Cora should know that better than any of us.
-
The big numbers don't show everything, I get it.
-
Yuge.
-
It's kind of funny to see so much talk about getting Moreland out of the 3 spot in a game in which had a hit and 2 walks. It was his 2-out, nobody on, single in the first that led to our 2 runs in that inning.
-
First of all, I don't get the L-R thing you have there. JD Martinez is a pretty good #4 hitter, no? From what I have gathered, you basically put your 5th best hitter in the 3 spot. It looks like Cora is doing that with Moreland/Pearce in the 3 spot.
-
One of the Cold Hard Numbers is pitches seen per at-bat. Numbers won't show all the subtleties and nuances, I agree with that. Numbers will never be able to track everything. But generally speaking, large samples mean more than small ones.
-
Nope, Bogey has a .929 OPS in the 5 spot and a .504 OPS in the 3 spot (SSS with only 31 PA's). He's killing it in the 5 spot and I assume it's a very comfortable spot for him, so leave him there.
