Jaime Garcia

gets one more shot to influence the Rookie of the Month award.

JAIME!

Gotta give it to the rookie with the...

358/475/667 line.

Tis better to lose bunting than win with dingers alone...

by guayzimi on May 31, 2010 3:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

other contenders

 Freese had 17 RBI this month. Line: .311/.388/.485
 Heyward had 19. Line: 358/.475/.667

Freese picked a bad year to be a rookie. Those are ROY-type stats in most any other year.

JAMIE, btw: 29.1 IP, 2-1, 1.23 ERA, 28Ks, BAA: .218

maybe JAIME has a chance since Heyward won last month. And since the cards are totally screwed after losing Penny and Lohse without him.

DIPS is the original defense-independant pitching stat

invented by Voros McCracken in the late 90’s. It’s a very complicated formula. Like FIP, it’s derived from the linear weight analysis of baseball events (BB, SO, HR, H, etc).

One big difference between DIPS ERA and FIP is that DIPS uses league average components as part of the formula, rather than the league specific constant (~3.2) that FIP uses. It is also park adjusted, and uses a total batters faced factor rather than IP.

Basically, DIPS is better at the extremes, but you can calculate FIP in your head, and it tells you almost the exact same thing.

by mojowo11 on May 31, 2010 4:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

Hit the cut-off man?

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!"

Fielded Rolen's GB basehit with no urgency

and then sent a shitty, late throw to 3rd when Phillips broke for it. I dont think Phillips would have even tried for third if anybody else was in center. Teams are really exploiting Colby awful throws.

Can someone tell Holliday that it's August?

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!"

if he's had 5 walks today

Lincecum was at 88-94 for the entire game except for 3 straight pitches at 96-97.7 (he hasn’t been near 97 all year) that had more horizontal movement than usual……and they happened to be against the pitcher Jimenez. I smell a PITCHf/x screwup.

Top of the 2nd

The events are actually even right, (Pickoff to 1B, Swinging Strike, Foul, Ball, Groundout to end the inning) those pitches are just…..wrong.

Not afraid to nitpick

by joker24 on May 31, 2010 7:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

No, the Pitch f/x operator screw up

Ubaldo ground out on 5 pitches to end the top of the second. In the bottom of the second, the first batter that Ubaldo faced was Aubrey Huff and he walked on 5 pitches. Check out Huff’s at bat with gameday, there are no pitch speeds or pitch type or breaks attached to the pitches, so I’m guessing that the Pitch f/x operator accidentally attached the Pitch f/x data of Huff’s at bat to Ubaldo’s in the previous inning.

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!"

Evil twin?

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!"
