Game 54 Open Thread- June 4th, 2009: Carp v. Harang
game thread!
La Russa appreciated the information generated by computers. He studied the rows and the columns. But he also knew they could take you only so far in baseball, maybe even confuse you with a fog of overanalysis. As far as he knew, there was no way to quantify desire. And those numbers told him exactly what he needed to know when added to twenty-four years of managing experience.
Sabermetricians – those number-crunchers who have come to dominate thinking about strategy the last few years – believe that they have debunked clutch situations as statistically irrelevant. La Russa has read the various studies. Based on his own forty years plus of experience, he believes those studies to be bunk of their own.
La Russa respected [Bill] James, but based on managing nearly 4,000 games, was convinced James was wrong.

Colby is in a different league right now than them.
the last time I checked he was on pace to be a 4.7 WAR player.

there should be laws against using the phrase ‘on pace to be a X-Y player’ where Y is a sabermetric gourmet stat.

he hasn't even done that well with the bat
Do you think his defense will slump?
by TheBirds on Jun 4, 2009 8:33 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
st. colby won’t be a +33 cf, no.
he has done better with the bat than the stat boys projected.
by greenback06 on Jun 4, 2009 8:36 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
No, he won't play 150 games there
he hasn’t and that’s still the pace he has set. He will not need to be a +33 cf this year to reach that.
And as long as he is flanked by Duncan he’ll get plenty of shots at out of zone plays.
by TheBirds on Jun 4, 2009 8:42 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
good point
his actual defensive value to the team is probably a bit lower than his UZR number, since he gets credit for catching a bunch of OOZ balls that the LF would have caught. Especially if we had Skip or Luddy over there.
He’s still been awesome, though.

Doesn't that make him more valuable since that allows us to play a defensive liability who can hit in LF?
Decrease runs scored?
Maybe.
Decrease winning? Never seen that proven.

no
well, it would if he was catching balls the LF wouldn’t catch. but there’s been a number of times this season where he’s stepped in front of duncan in LF to catch a ball; those balls are outs, whether duncan catches them or rasmus catches them.

Ok.... Now how to get $50off All Inclusive and $20 Off Tickets
First off looks like $1 Big Mac land tickets are already sold out sorry…. Now onto the good news
McDonald’s is running a promotion where you buy a value meal you get a promotion code for various codes like $10 off and $20 off….
Here is the site
I don’t know why they did this but they set it up so it would be so easy to figure out the code. It just took me a couple minutes to figure out the codes. Now unfortunately they do not have all the games but enough to make it worth while. It would not help us on the August 15th get together but should be able to get some kind of other deal by then.
Here is the codes I have figured out so far and seem to be the best deals
$50 Off All-Inclusive Seats – MCD928
$20 Off Tickets – MCD163
