- VEP is on the seven day DL, retroactive to last Sunday, with a massive hard drive failure. My apologies to anyone who expected PitchF/X in this space.
- Yesterday Your Host put down 2500 words on the subject of the 2010 St. Louis Cardinals for this year's set of SBNation season previews. It's written for a somewhat broader audience than you get on this site, but I didn't spare them the doggerel. So there's that.
- While I'm shilling for the good of the network, the long-awaited VEB Sell-Out League draft (brought to you by CBSSports.com) will begin tomorrow at noon, Cardinals Daylight Time. We'll be simulcasting—this is a convergence term, to prove that my two semesters at the Mizzou J-School did not go to waste—in a fanpost set up specifically for draft strategy nits to be picked.
The regular season is now close enough that we can complain about the way the season seems to always begin at some indeterminate point further into April than we remember it beginning. They've been playing baseball in Japan for a week now! (Which is the benefit of playing most games inside enormous astroturfed domes, eighties style.)
As close as it seems, we still have until April 5 to see baseball that is meaningful enough for it to not be enjoyable. And that is just enough time for us to be completely wrong about the way the season will play out. Here's some astute DanUpBaby analysis from March 24, 2009, on the occasion of the Cardinals completing the Khalil Greene trade—
I would say Luke Gregerson—a strikeout an inning as a 24-year-old in AA—was a best-case scenario, since some worried Cardinals fans were as far afield as Jason Motte and Jon Jay re: the PTBNL. Gregerson might make a good middle reliever, but the Cardinals had a glut and they traded from it. Now that we know Player Who Was Named Earlier I think it's fair, finally, to declare this an A trade for Mozeliak.
You heard it here first: the Cardinals had too many good right-handed middle relievers, and rather than trade the prize of the lot, Jason Motte, they dumped that Gregerson guy. And now: Khalil Greene! If you go through the 2009 archives there are a few major concerns that are totally invisible; other things that turned out not to matter at all completely preoccupy us. I spend several posts wondering whether Brian Barton, Brian Barden, or both will make the team out of Spring Training. That's the nature of baseball—the season is long and it's impossible for me to know, with real certainty, what I'll be freaking out about in July.
Which means it's time to do just that!
The March problem that seems to me most likely to underwhelm in July is the fifth starter battle that's occupied a lot of our Tony La Russa Speaking Vaguely about Young Players time this Spring. The recent set of Fangraphs articles on the subject takes a new look at an old hobbyhorse that was being beaten up and down the baseball internet while I was getting my sabermetric education. Old and busted: Five man rotations are ridiculous; pitchers can and should handle a four man rotation. New hotness: It doesn't matter, because teams don't really have fifth starters very often, anyway.
Of course, if you have five good starters, more power to you—the 2008 Cardinals managed to pull off this trick, somehow, despite Kyle Lohse, Braden Looper, Todd Wellemeyer, and Bad Joel Pineiro making most of their starts, and the 2004 team was perhaps the ultimate Five Starters squad, until Chris Carpenter went down and torpedoed the whole thing.
But that the Cardinals don't isn't necessarily an awful thing, because they've got the makings of a decent Frankenstein's monster fifth starter. In the Fangraphs articles Marc Hulet suggests a veteran long relief guy, a prospect, and a minor league veteran—the Cardinals in question stretch two definitions out of three here, but since we just watched Kyle McClellan, Jaime Garcia, and Rich Hill compete for Dave Duncan's ineffable affections I am willing to declare them close enough. Garcia in particular seems both better and more ready than the average prospect to make his prescribed twenty starts.
The March Problem I am most concerned about—that is, I guess, the one I'm concerned I'm not worried enough about—is the left side of the Cardinals' infield, at least as currently constructed. Brendan Ryan, despite being the Major Leaguer [possibly non-Ichiro division] I'd most like to interview, or just hang out with, made his late debut specifically because he had trouble staying healthy, and while his wrist has looked fine to this point in Spring, Joe Mather and Mark DeRosa can attest to that kind of injury's lingering scariness.
As for David Freese, I'm not sure he's had a good enough camp that Tony La Russa has turned things down from Actual Competition to Imagined Competition Designed to Keep Starter on Toes. Felipe Lopez is a wonderful backstop to have in a situation like this, but even he has those ugly years in Washington to engender our vague concern.

Well,
…I think the left side of the infield will sort itself out pretty quickly: Boog will be ok, and Tasty should be adequate enough for our team (if not we have replacements enough at third). I am a bit moore cowcerned about the rotation (aren’t I always?). Will we push Carp and Wainy too much? Will Lohse do an ‘08 or an ’09? Is the Penny that got shelled this spring the Penny we’re stuck with all year long? Will Lefty kick butt, at least long enough for the League to figure him out the second time around? Will the ’pen hold up, esp. Sir Sucksalot? Do we have a trusty late-inning/high pressure replacement if he does not?
I’ll feel better a couple of weeks into the new season, after I get a feel for the rotation and ’pen, but until then I am a bit anxious.
In the meantime, CUBS SUCK!!!!

yes, but
they won’t suck as much as last year
so, i’m wary
I may be in a rut, but at least I know where I'm going
What will it matter
if they win they’ll just get swept by the NL West representative anyways… wait we did that too… crap bad example…

they didn’t get anyone, of course.
my feeling about Boog is we have never seen him without a wrist problem. his wrist problems date back to high school. we should be glad he has a hand left.
given the number of times he let his bat fly last year, Boog had his breakout year with serious wrist pain, so I’m not as worried about his baseline this year as I am about Joe Mather’s wrist.
Lick that shoulder—you're in the doghouse now.
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
I agree also
I am much less concerned about Ryan’s wrist than Mather’s. Ryan was never going to hit for power anyway. He needs his wrist healthy for defense while Mather needs it for a bat. I don’t think many have noticed but Mather has had a very poor second half of Spring Training. Like 3 for his last 25. Honestly, If Jon Jay had a better spring I would of gave him Mather’s spot. Somehow we get charmed by his good looks and forget to actually watch him play.

I'll go the conventional route when it comes to worry
“The Cardinals are the best team on paper, barring injury.”
so: I am worried about injury. I’m not appreciably fussed about a depleted farm system … except that Tony likes to use them as his extended bench, and I don’t have much faith in any of the backups. also: that would suck for my alcohol budget.
also: someone wake up Lopez and remind him he has a job.

Agreed.
I am not all that worried about third, what with Freeze, Lopez, Mather, and Craig. Someone, or some combination thereof, ought to be able to improve on last year’s dreadful production at the hot corner.
Health is my greatest worry. Holliday and Pujols missing chunks of ST with vague injuries has done nothing but fan the flames of this worry…

Oh don't worry...
I hate math too. I’m one of like 3 engineers who sucks at math. Although if I was doing design work for what I’m trained in you don’t really need to know math… It’s all in tables… that’s the best part about being a civil engineer. They trust you accept the equation and give you tables based on this trust. Also I’m firmly convinced that math after trig is pointless for anything that actually matters in the world. But that’s just my calculus hating opinion.

Now is also a fair time
to let it be known I know next to nothing about economics so all the fun things you can do with it are beyond me. But in general calc by hand is annoying… especially when you get into integration. There’s no way to fake your way through it… thus why I did less than stellar at it… However it should also be known I took an advanced calc course in college because I didn’t have my will broken enough by the 3 the were required for graduation… I should really be a Cubs fan with my glutton for punishment tendencies I come up with…
"The two most important things in life: good friends and a strong bullpen." - Bob Gibson
As another Civil Engineer
I can also say that I don’t think I’ve ever used any calculus in my professional life. And Differential Equations was more useless than calculus.
But, I suppose it helps one understand the theories behind what we do.
And all those tables and super powerful programs are nice, but it really helps to understand what the answers should look like, so when they don’t look right you can go back and figure out what you did wrong! Conversely, being a Civil Engineer isn’t a terribly good profession, especially when one specializes in land development design – and there’s a recession/depression. Oh well, much more time to watch day baseball games!
CEs hijacking thread, he he
I totally agree w/chessed on the importance of theory when something goes wrong. Modern design tools are amazing in the amount of automation, but they are dangerous if one is not solid in the theory. Sometimes, students aren’t aware that the solutions are orders of magnitude off, because they just punch in the calculator and obtain an answer.
I am sorry to hear about the land development market. The close tie to the demised real estate and commercial development is bad. But CE in general is less volatile economically because it involves public works. I used to be an EE, and I think it was much more up and down than CE.
born Dodger blue, now dyed Cardinals red
I always find it amusing that the CE Industry always talks about a shortage.
But there are always a lot of layoffs when things get tight.
Most small Civil companies aren’t able to get into the public works market. I think I worked on, maybe, three municipal projects in the last fourteen and a half years…and those were mostly sewer extensions. Around here (western Colorado) quite a few of the companies have gone out of business, because the local governments have consistantly given their work to large Denver firms. [And I’ll concede that a lot of their projects were too big for any company here to do.]
I should have got into a government job when I had a chance!
I know Mechanical Engineers out of work also. It’s tough right now.
There are definite trade offs b/t public and private
pay, flexibility, work week, job security, benefits, …
I, personally, can not stand billable hours. I worked in a small firm for a few years, and one big benefit was that I learned a ton because I was forced to do a lot on my own. Let’s hope things change for the better soon.
born Dodger blue, now dyed Cardinals red
Billable hours
were the bane of my existence… One of the reasons I quit and went back to grad school. That and because I realized I didn’t want to do design and that two years would give me time to figure out what I wanted to do. But where I was working they told us we were expected to work overtime. Which was great cause half the time there wasn’t really anything that warranted working overtime. It got really annoying really quick. At least now I’m out in the field so if I’m working overtime there’s a good damn reason for it.

I'm personally
on the transportation side of things. So you always have road resurfacing and intersections that need signalized to keep you going somewhat alright. I’ve heard land development got hit really hard when people stopped developing land. But I agree with knowing some of the theory. It’s just I’ve yet to see anything in transportation be dependent on a differential equation or any type of calculus… for roadway design all you need to know is the equation of a circle and the equation of a parabola to lay out curves.
"The two most important things in life: good friends and a strong bullpen." - Bob Gibson
I think all the theory is embedded in there
I agree that in practice one looks up the tables in the Green Book (or state equivalent) and/or do some simple calculations. So on a day to day basis no one should be doing 3rd order diff eqs. But many of the equations are calculus based. Ex – stopping sight distance (v=dx/dt and a=dv/dt), spirals (continuous radii). But even using the tables, it is good to know the basis for those tables/equations.
born Dodger blue, now dyed Cardinals red
Sight distance
is calculus with training wheels. And as I was once told… if you’re ever designing a spiral curve you are doing something very very wrong.
"The two most important things in life: good friends and a strong bullpen." - Bob Gibson
agreed on SSD being pretty easy
Ok, the toughest actual calculus examples that I can think of right now is solving the objective functions for traffic assignment (transportation demand planning). There is no easy closed form solutions usually, so have to donumerical solutions of some nasty Legrangians.
The math is embedded behind software like EM/ME2, VISSUM, Cube, Transcad, so nobody really need to solve these things from a day to day basis.
But I think I agree with you, that calculus is rarely used in actual practice.
born Dodger blue, now dyed Cardinals red
Traffic is all black magic
nothing can convince me otherwise… my joke for traffic has always been take your projection, multiply it by 10, square that, and you might have half of what it’s actually going to be. I have no faith in anything traffic related… granted I live in Chicago so my view of traffic projects may be a bit skewed…
"The two most important things in life: good friends and a strong bullpen." - Bob Gibson
I don't think anyone will disagree
w/you that traffic projections are very inaccurate from an absolute pt of view. 100% errors are probably common. However, I am not sure the problem is with the blackbox as much as with predictions with the future in general and the changing economic conditions. Since traffic is a derived demand, it is really our inability to forecast future economic conditions that leads to the large errors. I guess the people who are able to do this well, are very rich (e.g. Warren Buffet).
born Dodger blue, now dyed Cardinals red
By your criteria
god knows us civil engineers haven’t figured it out yet…
"The two most important things in life: good friends and a strong bullpen." - Bob Gibson
No,
there are extremely good reasons for double and triple integrals, partial differential equations, and all the rest of it; calling them mathematical masturbation is just indulging in the m-word. They’re tools for physicists, chemists, and whatever kind of engineer studies problems ab initio. It’s true that in many cases, you can summarize the results and put them in a table or the equivalent if you’re not concerned with looking under the hood and understanding why things are the way they are, but that’s a very long way from their being something done for its own sake.

Are you Jaime’s dad?
In what St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa called a "big day" for his club, starter Chris Carpenter took the mound for his first session of live batting practice and promptly buzzed the fuzz on catcher Jason LaRue’s chin with an errant fastball.
"Sorry," Carpenter called from the mound.
"Don’t say you’re sorry," LaRue barked back.
"He said it," pitching coach Dave Duncan said from the side of the cage, "but he didn’t mean it."

“He gets hit three or four times a game; we can’t understand it,” said manager Tony La Russa, who watched Penny Brendan Ryan earlier turn a one-hop smash to the mound into a double play.

“The system we use here requires a highly intelligent catcher,” Duncan said. “That’s not an option.”
Duncan credits catcher Yadier Molina with almost total recall in addition to innate creativity in calling a game.
Asked whether he would ever endorse a catcher enamored more of his offensive numbers than a pitcher’s success, Duncan said flatly and without hesitation, “He couldn’t catch here. There’s no way it would work.”

A fine line
It seems that players on TLR- managed clubs can find themselves in a catch-22 in this regard. Everyone is expected to play when sore and dinged up, as they probably should. But, there seems to be a pattern of players playing through, and potentially worsening, injuries. I don’t think that there is reason to think that Garcia is more likely to hide an injury than anyone else. Hopefully we won’t have to worry about such an occurrence this season, or ever, with Garcia.

Is it on TLR necessarily?
When I reflect on some of the "injury-hiding’ incidents such as Izzy, CDunc, Rolen; I am not sure that it was all on TLR (not saying that you are saying this). It seems like a case of the player wanting to play hurt more than admitting the injury. I’ll defer to the folks at VEB who are more knowledgeable on injuries, but our physical bodies seem to be so unpredictable.
born Dodger blue, now dyed Cardinals red
Not *all* on TLR
But there is something to TLR’s philosophy and style celebrating toughness and grinding it out as contributing to injury hiding, in my opinion. The Rolen situation in particular seems to support this. It seemed that Rolen took offense at being benched for doing what he perceived as that which TLR expected. But, it undoubtedly takes two to tango in this scenario. And the personalities of the players you listed contributed as well. So, it undeniably is not all on TLR, but, to me, laying a portion of the blame at his feet is fair.

Being "worried" about yer
team at this time of year is as much a part of baseball as gloves and bats. We worry because that’s what we signed up for when we got obsessed with this sport.
Am I worried about most of the things people have mentioned here? Yes.
Would I be just as worried about my team if I were a Yankee fan? Yes.

...I think I know
Like last fall , he wrote a tweet, something like “Rothlesberger just wins games!” and I responded with something like “@Micklasz also rapes people!!!” which, as a joke, works, if you know what I am responding to, but if not, it just looks like I am saying Bernie can’t stop raping people.
Now, after we find out Big Ben literally can’t stop raping people, I wonder if he realizes he actually blocked me or just thought it was some asshole. The reason I bring it up now, is he friend-ed me on facebook last week, so I assume he’s not mad, and we still e-mail from time to time… not sure if he knows that he blocked me, and I don’t really know how to bring it up without sounding like a jerk. So, I’ll try fishing for an explanation of sorts.
So it's normal for journalists to friend people from twitter on facebook?

it was that home run where the catcher just begged for the ball down, and the guy pitched it up.

main negatives are blackouts and reliability. the reliability isn’t bad, but the feed will absolutely cut out at a few unfortunate times during the season

I was considering one or the other (Extra Innings) – but if I’m lucky I’ll be moving this Summer. [Come to think of it, if I’m more unlucky than usual I’ll be moving this Summer also!] and don’t want to waste the money.
Blackout rules shouldn’t matter since I’m out in western Colorado (and most likely would move to KC). They’ll blackout the Rockies (or Royals in the other case) and that wouldn’t bother me at all!
mlb.tv is also cheaper

They blackout all of the games on Fox even if you're not in an area that gets one of the games on TV.
I know because a couple of times last year I couldn’t watch the Indians because they were the “National” game but they were only played on TV in Cleveland and the other team’s surrounding areas. So not St. Louis and I couldn’t even watch them on MLB.TV. But that probably isn’t getting fixed or is really something they can do much about. It’s still stupid though.

I didn't want to hear that.
KC isn’t even Royal’s territory? Depressing
if you know the zip code
the mlb.tv subscription page has a input box where you can find out which teams are blacked out in the area. Eric of futureredbirds was bemoaning the Iowa blackout the other day. Cards, Cubs, Brewers, Twins, WhiteSox and I think the Nationals.
the nationals?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
Iowa gets shafted.
First, it’s freaking Iowa. Then, they’re considered blackout territory for 4+ teams. Ridiculous.

No negatives unless you have a slow connection.
"How depressing is it being you? Would you equate it to being a lifelong Cubs fan?"
The only real negative will be when the Cardinals
do their West coast swings during the season. For example, if you’re in Padres territory, Cards vs. Padres games will be blacked out. And yeah, what prophetjohn said. The feeds can be a little slow or wonky sometimes. But usually it’s all good.
You can read it in any tone you like.
it seems like we've played the Mets an awful lot this spring.
Maybe it’s just because SNY has more consistent broadcasts so it’s one of the only teams I actually see.

I hear that David Wright guy isn't bad.
In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"

Leach has tidbits
TLR remains cagey almost to the point of combativeness when it comes to talking about who will be the fifth starter. I’ll have a story on this topic on the site later tonight, but this much is known: Garcia, Hill and McClellan are all scheduled to pitch tomorrow. Garcia will start the game against the Twins. He’s not giving up how Hill and McClellan will be used — be it in long, getting-stretched-out relief, short relief, a Minor League game, a live-BP session, whatever. He’s not giving it up. So, there’s something for tomorrow.

MORTAL KOMBAT!
In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"

that's my favorite book too
I read it once a year and then cry in the fetal position for two weeks about not being able to write like that
Well that sounds counterproductive, sir!
If you spent as much writing as you did crying in the fetal position, F. Scott Fitzgerald would be the one lamenting your writing prowess

you need to read it more carefully, dan.
the proper response is to sit in the corner with a glass of gin and cry for not being able to write like that.
"We were men - flesh and blood - and we played baseball in the sunshine. We hit doubles off the wall, slid hard into second base. We had fights, and we made love. We sang songs and prayed on Sundays. . . . We felt pain. And we felt joy. There was a lot wrong with the world. But we weren't sad, man. We had the times of our lives." Buck O'Neil, from "The Soul of Baseball: A Road Trip Through Buck O'Neil's America."

No, you just put it next to your pillow. The accelerometer picks up how much you’re moving in your sleep

normally I'd do my reflexive anti-anti-apple ipod recommendation here
but if you’re doing something like this where you don’t care about the user interface any mp3 player will probably be fine. you could probably find an old hard drive based archos or something really cheap on ebay.
i definitely like the ipods
but he wanted something non-apple
the only products of apple’s that i’m particularly negative about are their computer. phone is the best thing available and ipods are great if expensive

Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'

a lot of people
would say that records are the best sound out there
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
it depends on what aspects of sound you look at
I think that cds have more accurate high frequencies, and have tons more dynamic range. it all depends on taste, since they are practically equal. records have better midrange and warmer tones. I have a record player and a cd player, but am too lazy to use either one. although I have started getting into ripping .wav files lately of the records and cds. then I can just remaster anything I feel like however I want it, sort of customize it for my own ears.

funnier still
vinyl has higher fidelity than cd

disagree
it depends on how you structure your argument, you could say either one is better. there’s no doubt however that dvd audio or 1" or great analog tape is better than either one.

I'd structure it based on analog to digital conversion
range be damned
i think there’s a lot of detail lost
specifically in sound stage or resolution

I have a really good sounding mastering plugin that really warms up all digital tones
ultimately a combination of analog and digital is best

i guess it depends a lot on the recording process as well
analog recorded drums and bass hit a bit harder and cleaner than the digital stuff for sure
i’d tell someone just the opposite though
keep analog analog and digital digital

most articles I've read about mastering say to use both
besides it’s pretty much impossible to be just analog today

one thing I did for a while
before I got an ipod adapter was mp3 cds, and I got a lot of mileage (not a pun, just a cliche) out of that. I don’t know whether your car stereo uses them/how cheap one that uses them at best buy is anymore, but it might be worth considering. lots of room for songs in 700 MB.
most cd players now
have 3.5" plugs on them so you don’t need an adapter. just a cheap 3.5 to 3.5 cable
me, i use the tried and true cassette to 3.5 to listen to music

my car apparently has the last stereo
before ford started including aux jacks for mp3 players in its stock set-up. It’s okay, though, I have the added benefit of using a really terribly designed aftermarket ipod interface through the radio controls for my troubles (and $50.)
i was gonna say it had to be an 06 or older
by 07 almost every can had jacks
Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
it is literally the last one, as far as I can tell
I think even job 2 fusions from that model year had it. there’s an aux button, even; the instruction manual just says “this button has no function.”
i hate it when your car has a button like that
i never understand why car companies do that to people. it just pisses them off

When I was in HS, I had a friend with a Mazda 323.
Her doors had a plastic disc on them that said “PUSH.” They, of course, did nothing. I guess Mazda thought people wouldn’t know how to open the door?

i remember those!
i have no idea wtf mazda was thinking

yeah i already tried that, stupid GM stereo isn't mp3 compatible.
my mom’s same year Toyota is though

yes yes yes
if your cd player can play them (most after market ones can – don’t know about newer oem ones) theyre about the best way to play music in your car. no sound quality is lost because its a cd, unlike stupid fm transmitters or casette adapters. and you can fill up a cd with 700mbs of music – not just 80 mins.

sansa has a super easy to use interface
not sure if apple users could figure it out though

well a zen
is pretty simple and can run you from $50-$200 depending on how much space you want. 4gb is more than plenty in my opinion
i use to carry a 200gb ipod with all my music everywhere until i got my 8gb phone and realized how much music i atually listen to at a given period of time. i think i’ve got a 1-2gb of music on it now
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
i have almost 2700 songs, and i guarantee you i dont listen to half of them
Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
also depends on what type of encoding used
if they are <256k then you can fit tons of songs onto your mp3 player and you don’t need much space.
personally I like to put .wav files on my sansa player lately for some stuff (like monitoring music I’m working on on different systems)

You can get a decent head unit that has HD Radio,
USB port, iPod connectivity, ability to play MP3 CDs, an SD slot, and an AUX port for $100. That’s what I did with my car.
You can read it in any tone you like.
Or, you could find a unit that has Bluetooth and stream from your BlackBerry to the head unit.
