You can dish it out, but you can’t take it, and if someone takes it wrong, it’s a “joke.” I wish I had a nickle for every new poster who’s throat you’ve jumped down, I’d have at least a sawbuck.

you're weird.

we make a joke every time SSH declares a game ova. it’s one of the things he does, along with providing us cubdates, relaying news about players we thought were long since retired, and concocting lineups.

by larry on Jun 19, 2008 3:48 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Huh?

So, as I said, they’re applied only to the players on the field? SSH can say the game is over with a lefty we haven’t seen throwing junk, and he’s right (Cub fan or no) 90% of the time, but an exception comes along, and someone calls him out on it….why?

That’s like me pointing to one case last year where the bullpen didn’t suck to prove stats are worthless.

Anyone else care to make regular bets on this offense coming back from 6 down in this situation?

i like how two games against the pirates is a small sample size

but three games against the rockies is more than enough for him to continue beating this one into the ground. i think this may actually be a schizophrenic SSH posting.

by larry on Jun 19, 2008 4:13 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

i think you missed the point of that

the term is meant to be used when a mediocre or at least unaccomplished pitcher comes out of nowhere to dominate for one specific night against the sox. its really to disregard it as a small sample size, an anomaly, a bad night. or at least thats what i always thought.

Even so

Sox median runs scored = 4. Bad guys = 3.

is this accurate, or a guess?

if the former, where are you getting your numbers from if you don’t mind me asking. and before you answer excel; where are you sourcing the data?

Thanks for asking

Believe it or not, that included the Baltimore suspended game.

When you kick out that game, it’s Sox=5, Oppo=3.

Great clip

I especially like the score. 3 power chords – it could be Grand Funk.

Really?

Not too shabby. I think using the median gives an interesting picture to the season.

Source

been keeping scores in an excel sheet for every game for AL competitors (all central exc KC, BOS, NY, LAA, OAK) since ‘05.

Except last year, when the season ended in June.

by tommyjoepeters on Jun 19, 2008 4:37 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

but he said you can't answer excel.

now go back and recount every source you got the game scores from. unless you recorded that info in the spreadsheet.

by Trooper on Jun 19, 2008 4:40 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

excellence?

he’s right I could be dyslexic.

call it the closest i’ll ever get to a diary, so yeah i record it.

I’m already into August. Anybody want to know how it comes out?

by tommyjoepeters on Jun 19, 2008 4:48 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

ah-hah

so its voodoo, not sorcery.

no no, I like surprises. as long as they win the WS.

by Trooper on Jun 19, 2008 4:52 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

cool, thanks

i was thinking (my first mistake) whether one could infer anything from the differential between median and mean runs scored per game.

for instance, if a team has a higher than average mean r.p.g. but a lower than average median, one might discount the mean when calculating projected season records.

like i said, my first mistake was ‘thinking’.

by explodingpinwheelsforfunandprofit on Jun 19, 2008 4:48 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

While we're at it

Here’re the selected AL teams’ medians vs oppo:

SOX- 5 vs 3
BOS- 5 vs 3
DET- 5 vs 4
OAK- 4 vs 3
CLE- 4 vs 4
NYY- 4 vs 4
LAA- 4 vs 4
MIN- 4 vs 5

Don’t have the Rays (yet).
