Since there's no MLB thread here, I thought it should be mentioned. Otherwise the most mentally distinguished mentally-challenged ump in the history of baseball couldn't call a ball that bounced three feet fair right in fucking front of him, which would have given the Twins the lead in the inning. I wonder how much Steinbrenner paid him to make that call.

I assume Himu is joking, considering he posted in it 3 DAYS ago.

Yea it was unjust, but I don't really want the Twins on my tv anymore. ALCS of Angels v Twins is snoozeville.

How long have you been watching baseball? Bad calls happen all the time. Sucks for the Twins, though.

That was worse than an ordinary call, because it was so fair I saw it as it happened and told someone it was fair. And that was some shitty TBS camera angle. Yet the ump like 4 or 5 feet from it couldn't get the call right?

David Wright's WAR

2009 3.3

I don't like this trend. Omar should trade him for 3 random Latino players and build around Jeff Francoeur.

which baseball stats? There are 5,000 different ones.

Bocsius · « **Reply #30 on:** October 12, 2009, 01:48:48 PM »

In the series of stats Cajole posted, my guess is they go (in order) batting average, on base percentage, slugging, and on base + slugging.

Batting average simply being your total hits divided by at bats. On base percentage being total times on base divided by plate appearances. It's different from batting average because it factors in things like walks. Slugging would be total number of bases per at-bat (how could I screw that one up?). And the last stat being the OBP and slugging added together.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #31 on:** October 12, 2009, 01:57:01 PM »

Bocsius got it. Except slugging is "total number of bases per at-bat (not hit)."

What Malek posted was "Wins Over Replacement" which basically just tries to put everything together (batting, fielding, baserunning) to come up with how valuable a player is over some AAA minor leaguer.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #32 on:** October 12, 2009, 01:59:42 PM »

WAR is the only stat that matters now a days.

And yet you were crying about Longoria even though he's set to make peanuts for the next 5 years and he just posted two years worth a combined 12.6 WAR according to Fangraphs.

And he claimed that Kevin Youkilis is shit, despite the fact that he was worth 11 WAR the last two years.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #35 on:** October 12, 2009, 02:15:52 PM »

There you go Cajole, trying to ascribe logic to methodis. Next thing you know you'll be expecting Francoeur to learn the strike zone.

Also:

Mark Lemke

Braves should totally hire him to manage after we throw Bobby into the tar pits at the end of next season.

Actually, WPA - WPA/LI. Jeter in the postseason = -0.80 "clutch" WPA (only since 2002 though)

God, I am such a nerd.

Oh and A-Rod's WPA in the postseason with the Yankees is 1.49 and his "clutch" WPA is 0.73.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #43 on:** October 16, 2009, 12:30:55 AM »

I'm in the opposite boat- I find it easier to hate this year's Phillies team. Probably because a) they won it all last year, b) they haven't built up goodwill with me by denying the Mets a trip to the post season at the last possible minute and c) Cole Hamels is just a douche.

Padilla pretty much pitched the game of his life today and the Dodgers barely won.

And if Manuel wasn't distinguished mentally-challenged enough to take Pedro out, they might not have won at all.
