    As I said, you have a lot to learn about bowling. You are way off base with your bowling post. So don't respond to me if you can't take me seriously. That's your defense every time you are losing a debate.

    Amen brother Moon.

    Awesome game, and great game thread! And the Yankees lose on top of it! Let's go!

    !!!
  5. Kimmi
    But check out his OBP.

    And Boone is a doofus.

    Our defense was indeed rather shaky this game. And yet, not one error has been charged. Something is very wrong with this picture.
  8. Kimmi
    I do.
  9. Kimmi
    Ha.
  10. Kimmi
    I agree. Keep Mookie in the lead off spot.

    Stanton will be fine. That said, I am glad the Sox didn't get him. I didn't want him on the Yankees either, but I didn't want the 10 year deal.

    One of the best team's in baseball, the Astros, and one of the worst teams in baseball, the Padres, went to the bottom of the 10th in a 0-0 tie. The Astros won the game on a seemingly routine infield pop up that Hosmer overran, allowing the runner from 2nd base to score. Good stuff.

    I'm anxious to see the return of ERod. Velazquez and Johnson are now long man options in the pen, if needed. Complete the sweep. Let's go!

    Exactly. A team should never take any opponent lightly.

    The umpires and their calls, the time of day or night of the game, and strength of schedule are actually all random factors which affect the outcome of a game. Kind of my point. If you had a different umpire in a one run game, with all other things remaining the same, it's very likely that you would have had a different outcome If a game is won by 5 runs, you can be pretty sure, but not 100% sure, that the random factors were not significant factors in the outcome of the game. If the game is decided by one run, you can be pretty sure that the random factors played a significant role in the outcome of the game.

    Good post Hitch.

    Who is not giving Dombrowski any credit? Who doesn't think that this team has a good chance to win the division? There is a legitimate reason to be concerned about the depth of our starting rotation. If they can stay healthy, we'll have one of the best rotations in baseball. But their ability to stay healthy is a valid concern.

    You have a lot to learn about the sport of bowling. The lanes do not stay exactly the same. The oil pattern is constantly changing due to the lighting, room temperature, and the balls rolling down the lanes. The bowlers have to constantly make adjustments, including ball changes. When the pins are set, they can sometimes be off spot. A pin being off spot by just a millimeter can be the difference between a strike and a 10 pin. Sometimes a bowler can throw a great shot, and leave a ringing 10 pin or a stone 7 pin. Bad luck. Sometimes a bowler can throw a bad shot and get a strike. Good luck. Bowling is not nearly as random as baseball, but it has its randomness. Throwing the same shot is a repeatable skill, despite not always getting the same result.

    How was the 2012 team better than the 2013 team? They had a better record, but that was due to their outrageously lucky record in one run games. The 2013 team was actually better than the 2012 team. Just not as lucky.
  20. Kimmi
    Repeatable skill means that there is some statistical correlation between records in one run games and overall records, and/or some correlation from season to season or even from the first half of the season to the second half of the season. Yes, I am saying that given the same or similar teams, winning 1-2 run games would not be repeatable. Winning 4+ run games would be.
  21. Kimmi
    I think one of the most beautiful things about baseball is its randomness. I don't necessarily mean unpredictable when I say random, but I think much of the unpredictability of the game is due to its random nature. It's hard to sweep any series. It doesn't matter how bad the team is, sweeping a series is hard. Anyone who thinks that it's a given that we should be 7-1 is fooling themselves.
  22. Kimmi
    It's way too early to really put much stock into the run differential or the team record or anything else. That said, run differential is really pretty good. And the neat thing about run differential is that it really does not matter if a good bit of the run differential comes in a few blow out games.
  23. Kimmi
    If you really attribute that type of hit to skill versus luck, then we are so far apart in our opinions that it's not even worth discussing. I don't mean that with any disrespect Emp, I just don't even know what else to say.
  24. Kimmi
    I get all of what you are saying, but I disagree. I thought Hanley would be able to play LF decently enough. I also thought that 4 years was reasonable for the WAR that he provided.
  25. Kimmi
    OMG Stop Jacko. Just stop.
