Rinku and Dinesh Have a Blog

The two Indian pitchers who won the Million Dollar Arm contest and were recently signed by the Pirates have been blogging about their experiences in America. It's filled with gems, and is worth reading back through the archives to find anecdotes like this

Tonight we were celebrating the Halloween Holiday here in America. we are not sure what the holiday comes from, but kids dress up in all kinds of crazy outfits and then go to houses asking for sweets. if people in the house no give the sweets then the kids put toilet paper in their trees.

We went with JB sir to breakfast at a great American breakfast eatery called Dennys. Rinku ordered a breakfast aclled the Lumberjack. We now know that a Lumberjack is a person who works as a tree cutter in the forrest so they must eat a lot of food. this breakfast was quite huge. It had eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, potatos, breads, and pancakes. I had French Toast and both meals were very fulfilling.

Robothal: To Dye for?
The White Sox are asking teams for a young starting pitcher plus additional players for right fielder Jermaine Dye. The Mets, Rays and Phillies are among the teams balking at such a price.

Dye, earning $11.5 million in the final year of his contract, amounts to a one-season rental. He can block trades to six clubs, most of which are in the northeast, according to a major-league source.

One potentially interested executive said his team was concerned that Dye batted only .210 with runners in scoring position and two outs last season — 36 points below the American League average.

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

by hoodlight on Nov 25, 2008 12:42 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

the mean should be the same as for all other situations

maybe minus a little because high leverage relievers get to work those innings disproportionately, plus it’s been found that pitchers do “save a little” for when they need it.

the skill aspect, like every other time we discuss clutch, is so small as to be irrelevant.

please read tom tango's the book and specifically his chapter on this topic.

then respond with your argument. until then, “bull shit” does not constitute a rebuttal.

p.s., by way of warning so your head doesn’t explode when you read it, guess who was found to have least clutch skills of any hitter during 2000-2005?

by thatshortkid on Nov 25, 2008 5:42 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

since they are largely due to random variance

one can look at a team or player and note if the number is inordinately high or low and determine if they are due for regression and in what direction.

by larry on Nov 25, 2008 5:46 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

in other words, determining who's got the hot hand or who's due from a macro level?

so if i have the argument right, taking the “RISP” subset of any stat gives you no more data for evaluating a player’s performance than evaluating the stat over all situations.

there is no such thing as black and white in this game

everything we take account of is dependent on something else happening, and statistics have varying degrees of relevance and dependence. It happens that this particular stat means little, and besides that is volatile. Dye’s RISP w/2 outs gen’rally sucks, but then as recently as 2006 his OPS was upwards of 1,000 during said situations. Still, it has little impact and it won’t be a deal breaker what with the market of bad GMs recessing. Then again, the Dodgers might need a power bat…

by Daniel Berlyn on Nov 25, 2008 6:58 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

fine yes, no problem

if this stat is something that is a random distribution, then why through the Sox season did I often read it in re-caps on here as being an indicator that meant something. Remember the debacle in Tampa Bay, I don’t recall anyone saying ’it’s ok, it’s just unlucky and the stats will show this’, I recall lots of teeth grinding and all the rest of it, most of it because the Sox couldn’t get people home from 2nd and third any more than I can find my back side after 14 pints of Timothy Taylors.

and if you think I’m trying to be a cunt with all this, I’m not, I’m just trying to increase my understanding.

Just because there's nothing to be done about it...

doesn’t mean it’s not frustrating.

In any case, the Sox actually hit pretty well last year with runners in scoring position – .277/.350/.463, better than they did in all situations.

But it’s hard to be dispassionate in the middle of a close game.

by The Jerry Royster Experience on Nov 25, 2008 7:14 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

good point

in the long run though, it can only do so much; the Twins were the best in baseball, IIRC, at hitting with RISP, hitting over .300, and indeed they were unusually good at it. Still, it was not enough in the long run to overtake pure firepower.

by Daniel Berlyn on Nov 25, 2008 7:22 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

The idea that someone is "due" to succeed in the clutch or to stop succeeding in the clutch needs to be stamped out too.

This is the gambler’s fallacy. If you are playing roulette, and you by chance get 5 blacks in a row, the probability that you get red the next time does not suddenly increase because red is due.

Why so serious?

by reardenmettle on Nov 25, 2008 8:22 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

true

but the roulette wheel doesn’t approach the spinning ball differently and vice versa because of the previous spins or what bets are on the board, either.

by thatshortkid on Nov 25, 2008 10:23 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

i think what youre explaining is called octet betting

when a dealer is experienced enough in theory they are likely to spin the wheel and throw the ball at roughly the same speed over time. by watching the dealer over time you can develop a pattern and bet that way. doesnt work but neither do lucky numbers

Tentacles on here?

do me a favour, and

Tentacles in the English is derived from the Classical Greek, the Greek word nautilus which in the rough translation became ‘tentavles’ and eventually tentacles.

And also of course describes the hair of the gorgon medusa, and Thomas More’s translation of Ovid is the best.

‘Beyond all others she
was famed for beauty, and the envious hope
of many suitors………………………………….And now to strike
her foes with fear, she wears upon her breast
those awful vipers—creatures of her rage.’

a bit like when you’ve been going out with a bird for too long and she starts putting weight on and nagging all the time.

Finding the Next Breakout Pitcher part 2
Danks is pretty clearly my favorite of the four. The youngest of the group, he’s only 23 years old. In 2008—his second season in the majors—he improved his K/9 by about .3 and his BB/9 by almost a full 1.0. His GB% went from 35 to 43 percent, and batters against him swung at pitches outside the zone 28 percent of the time (up from 18 percent in his rookie season). The biggest warning sign I can find in his 2008 stats is a slight increase in the rate at which he gives up line drives. Still, all other signs point to him becoming a star pitcher in the near future, so look to pick him up maybe a round earlier than you normally would—he may be one of the big draft-day bargains of 2009.

Talk about winning the lottery

Youngest of 9 kids in a small poor town in India to playing professional baseball. They are trying to learn English, I imagine this blog is part of that. Writing always helps.

It was posted on ESPN or SI that they have thrown harder than 90 (at least one of them anyways) just not in front of the scouts on the gun in Arizona. Either way it’s a great story and an even better blog.

“We first got our hair cut today. I am not very happy with this result.” I know Rinku’s pain.

“praise Allah that we have won a baseball contest and a not a football one. i don’t think we could even take a hitting once.”

“Most important – we both pitched over 90 MPH today. this is a great feeling with our tryouts so close.” – Considering they just picked up a baseball for the first time this year that seems pretty good to me.

thank you, uncle wu.

also – i was not implying that i was surprised that other country’s natives were able to speak english…in fact, i do realize that many other countries are not only required to learn english, but also probably have better education on the topic than a good portion of our very own country (and more so – probably care more than a lot of lazy american assholes).

“Mr. Bonds sir has the finest house anyone could ever imagine. He has many animals that he has hunted and preserved to display. He has his own real movie theater. he also has many cars and a gym just like the one at USC. He even has a mirror that turns into a TV! GAZAB!” -barry bonds btw

“There is a machine that sends water to your property.”

on great american movies
“but i think we have a new favorite – dethroning BAD BOYS… We did not think it was possible, but the movie WANTED has even better special effects than any movie seen yet by us. They somehow got bullets to curve in order to hit target. There is no way we can explain the special effects… You just have to see it.”

“We are even learning some slang talk. like the other day one of the players on USC team saw another player eating and he said, "What are you cracking on DAWG."
In America that means what are you eating my friend. Friends call each other DAWG here. Very weird.”

First stoned black man “There was a guy called Coo who was practicing with us (well hardly). He was really drowsy and was fighting to keep his eyes open”

Reds In Trade Talks For Dye?
Lance McAlister of 1530 WCKY in Cincinnati has a rumor up regarding trade talks between the White Sox and Reds.

McAlister’s source says the White Sox initiated talks to send Jermaine Dye to the Reds for Homer Bailey and another player. Ken Rosenthal says Dye’s no-trade clause mostly covers teams in the northeast. Perhaps the Sox can trade him to the Reds without his consent. Ken Williams and Walt Jocketty matched up in July on the Ken Griffey Jr. trade. It’s known that Jocketty prefers trades to free agency.

but too bad that its been rumored, so its probably not going to happen. This is exactly the type of player id want in return for dye though. High Upside. People have been throwing around andy sonnanstine, but does he really offer much upside? bailey could be a future front of the line pitcher, while sonnanstine types will be inning eating 4 or 5’s.

There’s some hand-wringing coming out of New York as Sabathia continues to sit on the Yankees’ huge offer. I don’t think Sabathia’s silence sends a message, nor am I convinced he can’t get a larger contract. It’s sensible for Sabathia to hear the Angels out, especially with the rumor that they are considering a Johan Santana-like offer. If the Halos make that offer, the Yankees may have to come back with a seven-year contract worth more than $160MM.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Brewers have signed infielder/outfielder Jason Bourgeois to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Bourgeois, 26, spent most of the 2008 season with the Chicago White Sox’s Class AAA Charlotte affiliate, batting .286 with 23 doubles, five triples, nine homers and 48 RBI in 127 games. He saw action in six games with Chicago, going 1 for 3.

The 5-9, 190-pound right-handed hitter has played mostly second base and third base in the minors but is seeing action in the outfield this winter in Mexico, where he was batting .373 through 13 games with Mochis.

Manny Ramirez

2007 OPS .881 OPS with RISP: .834

If it’s repeatable what happened in ’07?

Manny is a great hitter who is still a great hitter with RISP

Merkin: No concrete news around Dye rumors
Neither Jermaine Dye nor Bob Bry, Dye’s long-time agent, have heard anything from general manager Ken Williams, assistant general manager Rick Hahn or any other team regarding a possible trade of the White Sox right fielder. That piece of information came directly from Bry, during a talk with MLB.com on Tuesday.

The lack of a phone call or two received from Williams doesn’t necessarily mean Dye remains a lock to stay in Chicago, with six notable exceptions to be discussed beforehand on Dye’s limited no-trade clause to block deals in 2009.

“We certainly would have to be contacted if any of the teams were on that list,” said Bry of the potential employment relocation for Dye, who carries an $11.5 million salary for 2009 and has a $12 million mutual option for 2010, with a $1 million buyout. “The Mets and Phillies have been rumored with Jermaine, and they are on the list.”

Bry did not reveal the remaining four teams on the veteran’s no-trade list, but they are believed to be located in the Northeast. So, an organization such as the Reds, the subject of a Dye rumor on Tuesday, would be a viable destination.

According to a posting on Lance McCalister’s blog for 1530 WCKY in Cincinnati, the White Sox initiated trade talks involving Dye, who turns 35 at the end of January, for right-handed pitcher Homer Bailey, 22, and another player. Initiating trade talks in Williams’ world, though, could range from the onset of serious discussions to simply getting a read on the market for a particular player.

Any trade for Dye would need to net a somewhat proven outfielder in return or be followed by a second trade. The White Sox don’t appear to have a natural in-house replacement for Dye.

No Mets or Phillies. You’ve got to figure that probably means no Yankees or RedSox. The other two? Pittsburgh? Balimore? DC?

they already know what teams he can’t be traded to. there’s nothing else to tell them before the fact right?

“We certainly would have to be contacted if any of the teams were on that list,” said Bry of the potential employment relocation for Dye … “Short of that, we would get a phone call before it was announced in the paper. We wouldn’t necessarily get a heads up.”
