Penny for your thoughts overflow thread

See, so we've got a thread lamenting the penny headline puns, then a thread with a penny headline pun. We're so very meta here at VEB...
So anything you guys want to talk about, go ahead. The other thread was getting slow.
Also, just to toss this in here, the meanest thing I ever said to anyone was once when I was talking to an ex-girlfriend of mine who was about six months pregnant at the time. (Not mine, by the way.) I started calling here Pregnatron, and after the third time she asked why. I told her it was because she was transforming into a giant, swollen bitch. I feel bad and proud in equal measures when I think about that. How about you?
Enjoy.

Okay, so what Pitch f/x stuff do you guys want to know about Penny?
Make a list and I’ll put up a FanPost later or write it up for Sunday.
I'm assuming DD
liked something he saw. Ergo, he’s going to be the next great Cardinal sinkerballer……amiright?
* is an Asshat
I guess looking at the movement (or lacktherof) of his fastball
wouldn’t be a bad idea. Well, I at least want to know if it’s too straight :)
My halloween costume: the Indiana secondary iPhone- no matter how much you want to love it, you know the coverage area sucks.
-ChronicHoosier
now that the president emeritus
of the now-dissolved BashofStan has been brought back in a consultant role, the new internal policy is
MOAR DINGERS!
I'd like to see what the difference was
from the first half of 2008, before the started the All-Star game, and whether anything has changed since then.
If he simply struggled with injuries, but now has the same stuff, we could have a dominant starter for less than $10M
Please consider any Hot Stove talk in the above comment is spoken under the assumption that the Cardinals are not signing Matt Holliday.
His Curveball
Fangraphs were showing it to be a -11 run pitch in 09. While every year before that it was an average or above average pitch. What happened to his curve ball?
by FlimtotheFlam on Dec 8, 2009 11:04 PM EST up reply actions
I would like you to show his 2009 pitch spread on the fastball
i.e. the map of pitches in the zone, and show, say, a line above which his flyball % exceeded a certain amount, maybe compared to his previous career (say, 2007 or something).
My hypothesis being that last year the only thing that made him worse than his very good career stats was his FB%. His GB/FB ratio was quite a lot worse, and even though his HR/FB ratio was around his career line (even in Fenway), the increased # of FB lead to moar dingerz.
I think that you showed a graph showing he was throwing his (now even faster®!) heater up in the zone more. It’d be nice to show a positive correlation between the pitches he elevated and the increasing flyball%. Ergo, Dave Duncan can get him throwing the ball down in the zone more, and get his GB/FB ratio back on track = the same 3.80 FIP pitcher he was in LA.

ok, so now that we have penny
should we still sign smoltz? i say yes and put him in the bullpen. hopefully it just takes about 5 million to get it done. is that reasonable?
also, assuming no holliday, i just dont know who i would want in left. cameron i guess, but i cant see it happening. and its not like we have much to trade if we want to go that route. maybe sign two FAs who have opposite splits and hope for the best, with freese at 3b? i really dont know.
"I throw him four wide ones then try to pick him off first base." - Preacher Roe on Stan Musial
We definitely have to sign more pitches
Carp-Waino-Lohse-Penny is pretty good, but there is some risk in that rotation. Plus, we need a 5th starter obviously. I would like us to sign Harden or Smoltz next, preferably Harden.
good point
so how do you feel about garcia or boggs? really, i think boggs would look good in the pen due to his power, and i love garcia, but again he may have durability issues. i agree with harden, but what about bedard or myers? the great thing about starters is that only lackey would cost us a pick, and we arent going to go that route, so thats nice.

Yeah, I like Boggs in the pen
He looked much, much better in that role last year (more than the standard improvement starters usually have), and we have a hole for RHP relief.
I think Garcia should definitely be in the minors.
Jamie's already been in the bigs, why should he stay at Memphis?

The rules
are not stupid. You just proved how their misuse can lead to confusion . . .
But they're scary.
And my English teachers can’t agree on them. So much confusion.
No they are not stupid. Although I still don’t think that needed a comma. But like I said I’m not good with commas. But it was a prepositional phrase with less then 5 words so I don’t think it needed one. There is some rule about commas after places but I thought that was only when the city was attached to the state/country etc.

Are we actually talking about the rules of English?
The rules that actually are never rules because you can really do pretty much whatever you want in English.

No but I said,
“In Ohio people…” I didn’t mean inside Ohio people I meant in Ohio, people. But my e=English teacher told me there doesn’t need to be a comma there because the prepositional phrase is not 5 words or longer. I think gdm missed the preposition.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
I think your english teacher is smoking crack...
I would use a comma there…maybe you don’t “have to”, in that case it is better to do so or someone might think you are talking about in “ohio people” rather than in Ohio, people.
What I learned
One prepositional phrase, 5 words or longer, use a comma
Two or more prepositional phrases, use a comma

by Willie McGee's Twin on Dec 9, 2009 6:20 PM EST up reply actions
No.
If you read the rest of the sentence the context makes it clear I did not mean inside Ohio people. The rule is a comma goes after a prepositional phrase of five words or more.
There is also a rule that says to avoid confusion. But I’m pretty sure my English teacher thought that was far too subjective. Which it is. That isn’t a rule that has any way to significantly be able to tell if you’re right or not.
And my English teacher was one of the best in school and It’s a good school with a good English department. Commas are some of the most subjective things I think, because of that rule.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
I'm sure your English teacher was perfectly fine...
But since you’re evidently going to teach people’s children, I’ll explain further –
The first rule of English (and writing) is to avoid confusion. You shouldn’t have to read the rest of a sentence to discern the context when the context could be made clear by placing a comma after “Ohio.” Indeed, a comma often sets off a single prepositional phrase at the beginning of a sentence to make it clear. (In fact, “In Ohio” is what’s called an introductory modifier, which is usually a signal for a comma.)
The fact that this prepositional phrase is less than 4 or 5 words is unimportant. There is no “rule” otherwise; it’s a guideline, at best, aimed at helping in “most” cases. And you (and others) even recognized how the sentence is confusing without the comma; you had your answer right then about whether it needed one.
/will now end my rant brought about by unpleasant memories of pedantic English teachers who were terrible writers
by Willie McGee's Twin on Dec 9, 2009 7:28 PM EST up reply actions
Only if it's more than five words.
That’s the rule sorry. It is. I looked it up to make sure.
And thanks for questioning my ability to teach first graders. That felt great. I admitted I’m not good with commas. Mainly because every teacher I’ve had has done it differently. This particular English teacher was the only one who could back it up with anything substantial instead of because it sounds good.
I rarely use commas on here anyway because it involves way too much thought for me.
I am still flabberghasted that because I am not good with commas I am not qualified to teach first graders how to read. I don’t know when we learned commas but I’m fairly sure it wasn’t first grade.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
And I'm not really saying that I shouldn't know how to use commas
but that obviously being able to remember a rule I was told about commas and use it consistently says a lot more about me than whether or not I used a comma. And maybe you didn’t mean to question my teaching ability but it kind of sounded like it. So sorry if I overreacted but I think this whole thing has gotten way out of hand. It was a freaking comma.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
Don't know how you inferred that I thought you weren't qualified to teach little kids...

Well he's only 23, and has struggled somewhat in AAA and in the majors
He’s also been injured for awhile. I definitely think he needs to be in AAA for a decent part of the season.
Agreed
Although I don’t think being the fifth starter at the big league level would be horribly taxing on his arm coming back from surgery. He’s going to get skipped enough that it shouldn’t be too much of a big deal, and if he needs to miss a start, LaDunc will have some “long man” in the bullpen like Hawk or Boggs that can take that start.
That said, with all the cheap pitching options on the market, I think that the Cardinals should be shopping for an arm for that spot, be it Myers, Harden, or Smoltz.
Please consider any Hot Stove talk in the above comment is spoken under the assumption that the Cardinals are not signing Matt Holliday.
Who's out there in a trade?
I think we should try to pry away a guy like Sonnanstine or Mitch Talbot from the Rays.
You would think that Sonnanstine would be available
but his name just hasn’t been out there. If both they and the Cubs were smart they’d swap Sonny for Bradley and make the Cubs pick up $2M or so to make the $$$ even out.
I wouldn’t mind making a move for him, I’m just not sure that we really have much to offer in trade.
Please consider any Hot Stove talk in the above comment is spoken under the assumption that the Cardinals are not signing Matt Holliday.
The Rays wouldn't do that
They have like no payroll, and Sonnanstine isn’t getting paid anything.
Given his struggles last year and the Rays amazing amount of pitching depth, I’m not sure it would take much to get him.
Agreed
but they’d only be paying Bradley $8M or so, and he’s a giant upgrade over their RF and DH from a year ago, assuming, of course that they keep Zobrist at 2B, which I would assume they would.

He threw 37 innings last year
Even if he’s ready to pitch in the major leagues (which isn’t necessarily a given), he’s not ready to pitch a full season in the big leagues. We’re going to need a legitimate major leaguer for a 6th starter almost certainly.
Not afraid to nitpick
Let me give you a few of our previous number five starters
2006 Jason Marquis/Mark Mulder
2007 Kip Wells
2008 Joel Pineiro
2009 Todd Wellemeyer
if a Boggs and Garcia platoon can get a 4.50 ERA over 150 IP they would be overachieving.
I am the Batman
That's kind of the point?
Just because we haven’t had 1-5(6) pitching depth doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea to have it.
Not afraid to nitpick
no but investing money on a guy who will be taking starts away from our 1-2
guys will be pointless. Look at the GIants they have a solid 1-5 yet their offense sucked. What we need to do is shore up the pen, sign a bench guy, and give left field or Thirdbase to a FA.
I am the Batman
Do you think Boggs' stuff is good enough to close?
A la Wainwright 2006 playoffs?
He seems to have the pedigree, since he can juice the fastball up to around 95-96 out of the pen and has good breaking stuff. Obviously the walks are a concern, but I could live with that if we had a strikeout guy at the back of the pen.
Please consider any Hot Stove talk in the above comment is spoken under the assumption that the Cardinals are not signing Matt Holliday.
I definitely think Boggs' stuff is good enough
I don’t think his control (let alone command) is anywhere close if it’s actually as bad as 2009.
Not afraid to nitpick
I'm not quite sure about Boggs
At first glance, he seems to fit very well in the bullpen. His fastball got a lot better, as did his command. His slurvy pitch is decent, although not great.
I’ll have to look at his Pitch f/x more to see how much better he really was in the pen. If he’s a 5.00 ERA in the roation and 3.5 in the pen, which I think is possible, than he might be a better option than Franklin to close.
I think this would be a good Sunday post
if there is enough data to draw any conclusions.
The walks are a concern, obviously. I do think that his control was better in the pen, but it’s from what I remember watching, not necessarily metrically correct.

it’s also maybe not enough of a sample size to draw a big conclusion.
I liked the bump in velocity he got, though. 97-98mph with a decent slider; Motte and Boggs at least give us two options who MIGHT come good as a late-inning guy this year. Let’s hope at least one does!

I Like..
…the idea of Boggsy closing – like to see him get some experience with that in AAA, keep Garcia there too for some seasoning, and let Smoltz or an-udder decent FA pick up the 5th spot. If Garcia develops nicely by the break, we might be able to plug him in to the rotation for anyone injured/under performing.

he at least
deserves a ST invite
we’ll assess from there
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
hell,
just sign Lackey…who needs offense…Carpenter – Wainwright – Lackey – Penny – Lohse ? give up 1 run a game, score 2 runs a game?

"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
Yeah betting that Carp/Garcia/Penny all stay healthy is bad business
One of Carp, Penny, Harden/Smoltz will get injured and Garcia could then get plugged in with a lot less pressure IMO.
Not afraid to nitpick
We definitely have to sign more pitches
Carp-Waino-Lohse-Penny is pretty good, but there is some risk in that rotation. Plus, we need a 5th starter obviously. I would like us to sign Harden or Smoltz next, preferably Harden.
Not high on Garcia? Personally I love his southpaw-ness and GB%.

You want to here something frustrating? I live in China and several months ago, the Chinese gov enacted their new firewall. It’s a dummy firewall that picks up on keywords and more generalized triggers. Blogs get more scrutiny than typical sites.
Ever since that bad boy went into action I have been unable to access mlbtr.com. It’s a blog with the word “rumors” in the title- that’s my theory. I was more or less fine with that during the regular season, but it is sorely missed during the hot-stove.

I've heard that it has already passed Vegas
in volume of tourists every year, or by some metric or another.
Hong Kong and Macau (also sometimes spelled Macao) are sharing the same deal. The Brits controlled Hong Kong for all that time and negotiated a sizable degree of autonomy from the mainland after they left. Macau got the same deal when the Portuguese left. In fact, most mainland Chinese people aren’t even allowed to go to Hong Kong or Macau, while people from almost every Western country don’t even need a visa to go to either city.

Actually,
Living in China is quite nice, truth be told. No charity/mission- teaching lit at a university. It’s a nice life, warm weather- just the gov gets a bit sensitive from time to time. I’ve been here a few years and typically if a site gets blocked it stays that way for about a year. bbc.com was down for a while there, wikipedia,— youtube and facebook are still down.
It’s annoying, but on the whole it isn’t really as bad to live here as you might think. This isn’t your grandpa’s China.

I don't think I did it wrong?
d = 0.5*g*(t^2)
d = 0.5 * 32.2 ft/s2 * (12 days*24 hours*60 minutes*60 seconds)^2
d = 0.5 * 32.2 ft/s2 * (1,036,800 s)^2
d = 16.1 ft/s2 * 1,074,954,240,000 s^2
d = 1.73067633e13 ft – divided by 5280 yields:
d = 3.27779607e9 miles = 3.27 billion miles.
3.27 billion miles tall.

I don't really understand what you're doing there
but I’m pretty sure it would take months for a space shuttle (assuming infinite fuel and all that sorta thing) to get to the sun from earth, and those things go really fast, faster, I assume, than someone falling at terminal velocity.
Actually, looking at your math, you’ve used 32.2ft/s^2, which I think is the ACCELERATION due to gravity, rather than the speed of someone falling. I’m also not 100% sure why you’ve squared the total number of seconds?
With a bit of googling I found 125mph to be a reasonable estimate for a falling body (obviously it depends on air resistance, conditions, the composition of the atmosphere etc.) and we’re assuming a “tree” that is presumably not actually in space (as it would be possible, with a “push” to “fall” through a vacuum much faster I expect, also true if you artificially induce “gravity” in that vacuum). Apparently a streamlined skydiver can reach close to 300mph (can slow down to 110mph by spreadeagling themselves, again from a quick google search) but if we’re assuming a haphazard fall, I guesstimate the 125mph estimate’s probably fair.
So we’ve got 12 days = 288 hours. 125mph x 288 hours = 36,000 miles. That’s only about one-seventh of the way to the moon. Quite a long way to go before you hit the sun!
I was told there would be no math.

I'm a physics kid, ideally we run vacuum.
Ergo, no terminal velocity of 125 mph. Acceleration due to gravity is what g is. If you wanted to go constant speed, I’d use v=dt, however to calculate free-fall distance, you utilize d=.5*a*t^2, where a = g = 32.2 ft/s2.
It’s an unsolvable problem, really, utilizing basic physics equations. Variable gravity as distance increases from Earth, Variable air resistance further into the atmosphere. It’d probably require some differential calculus… yayyyyyy

this is my biggest problem in life
really good at dissecting the things around me, but incapable of applying those results to the bigger picture.
So, I saw Buerhle is going to manage for the Cardinals for a Spring Training Game
I guess he won that in a Pujols Foundation Auction… In the same way Holliday like St. Louis and will evidently take a huge pay cut to stay…maybe Buerhle will fall in love and decide he really doesn’t want to go and will negotiate a trade…a bag of pujols autographed balls for him.
We should commision the finest pies ever made
And this seems odd to be that he’d fly in from Arizona to do this. Something doesn’t totally add up to me.

My son watches the cartoon, "Backyardigans" they have these samaurai's who make pies...

i have never heard this
about sox fans pissed about buerhle being a cards fan. there was some angst a few years ago when he was a free agent, i recall, but i’ve spent considerable time in chicago and around sox fans in the past few years, like a half-year at a pop, and have never gotten that vibe. i must be missing something. perhaps it is discussed more in stl?
i checked with someone to gauge this. he’s a lifelong sox fan who had the fortune to get drafted by his childhood team – unlike buerhle – and is presently employed by the org (top ten prospect on fangraphs). anyway, i think this story is definitely overblown, be it stl media or SSS of sox fans in stl (wherever this impression is coming from). perhaps chicago-resident VEB’ers have a different view – i know there are several out there?
