Game 25 Overflow thread

to give us one, as well.

at the game!

is a mess.

I’d imagine that is what TLR would do. I’m not certain, but I thought that was the announced plan—even before the postponement—to start K-Mac and then Lohse would go tomorrow. I could be wrong though.

Enjoyed the nice extra perk, especially the reminder at the end that it’s much easier for all of us to play GM with a beer in one hand and a remote in the other…unless we were actually to be held accountable for our moves. My appreciation for The Moz and LaDuncan grows by the day.

can’t i just pretend they don’t exist?

but then, I like any pitcher who strikes out 8 batters per 9 innings as a 22 year-old.

as of the most recent redesign of B-R you’re able to convert most tables to comma-delimited form by clicking CSV, which you could then copy and paste into a text file and open in Excel. But I’m not much for spreadsheets.

Mmm….retractable roof…

There are only two matching off days for us and the Nationals. June 15th and July 23rd. Both would violate the Basic Agreement “more than 20 days in a row” rule for one of the teams. IMO this game is pushed to Monday Oct 5th, if necessary.

The way I understand it, Duncan has two scrap-heap “modus operandi”s:

• He can take a guy with good stuff and help him tweak it to a place where he’ll be able to use it effectively (i.e. Lohse and the 2-seamer, Wellemeyer backing off the heat to gain control), or
• He can take a guy who has pedestrian stuff and make him into a useful pitcher somehow, even if only temporarily

Oliver Perez isn’t really that kind of scrap heap guy. He’s young, he’s talented, and he’s completely erratic. Sometimes he’s an ace, sometimes he’s a time bomb waiting to explode. It’s not that he doesn’t know what to do with his stuff, it’s that he never knows if his stuff is going to show up or if he’s going to be able to throw it in the vicinity of where he wants to.

I miss the Oliver Perez of 2004. 22 years old. 196 IP, 239 K, and a 2.98 ERA. His BB/9 was a full walk lower than his current career mark, and his K/9 was a full strikeout higher. Never have I seen anyone seem to figure it out and then just completely forget everything he was doing that was taking him to the next level.

2003 ERA: 5.47
2004 ERA: 2.98
2005 ERA: 5.85

What a bizarre case.

i mean, not that i’m doing the same thing instead of studying for my last exam tomorrow….. not at all.

Like, I cruised through this one class. There was one midterm and one 5-7 page paper and I aced them both. They were easy stuff.

Then he gives us our final paper…10+ pages, and a list of the kind of prompts where you have to read each one three times to even figure out what it’s asking, only to realize what it wants from you is so specific you have no idea how you’re going to get 10 pages out of it.

ARAHRAHRARAHRARA okay back to work.

than have my entire grade rest on one exam

as of today, that puts him on pace for over 100 stolen bases. I wonder how late into the season someone’s carried that since it happened last? (This sounds like a job for baseball reference.)

take several ideas in with you b/c the one(s) you want most might be taken.

if I remember this post tomorrow—and I can make no promises—I will have to fix that.

Put that Saint Louis high school question to good use.

I heartily concur.

She’s definitely a keeper!
