Harrison, not unexpectedly, isn't in the database

I could do a Contreras BUO maybe? Also, it’s going to be tough to do much with a potential batting BUO i think. Not sure whether those will work well or not.

Also, I’ve been thinking that Fields’ ability to hit off speed stuff is an indictment of his bat speed, no? “Slider bat speed” as the cliché goes?

The cards, iirc, are what I used last year to find out that Josh Fields crushes off speed stuff like nobody’s business but can’t hit good fastballs except from lefties and, apparently, JJ Putz. But the biggest issue is that the way the pitch recognition algorithm works, for one, doesn’t generate a lot of samples in certain cases for some pitches. And for two, we don’t have league batter averages to work with for things like BABIP, TB/BIP and ISO, so it would take doing a number of them just to get an idea of what’s what. None of this is a big deal, but it’ll take a lot of fiddling before I can churn something out, rather than on the BUOs, which take about an hour if I’ve got the game as my deadline.

anyone else a little meh about the lineup today?

with aj getting the day off, i understand you have someone else in the 2-spot, but why not swish? he’s been pretty prototypical for a while now, no? i’m a fan of alexei, but oc-ramirez isn’t exactly the kind of obp one would like to have at the top of the lineup.

Okay, so the Contreras BUO proved difficult thanks to Josh's pitch recognition algorithm

being wonky. That really isn’t unexpected though, since Contreras is a pretty unusual pitcher. I did, however, do an ARIO for Matt Harrison.

by MarketMaker on Jul 13, 2008 3:03 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

well nobody would right now, of course

but he was one of the best starters in the league just a couple months ago. he could have been traded then. given his jekyll-and-hyde act just last year, i think sticking with him was foolish.

anyway, we really don’t have the prospects to get anyone. if we move jose to the bullpen we’ll have replacement-level or worse in the 5th spot. it will just be bad vs bad vs more bad, and the pitching that has propped this team up will have vanished. also, look at javy, lulz.

that wouldn’t be so bad if it only took around 85 wins for this division, but now it looks like it will take quite a bit more.

still, that’s not such a bad outcome, considering what this team was projected to do before the season.

by uofcdood on Jul 13, 2008 3:01 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I doubt there's one GM going to say:

“This guy had 17 losses this year and might’ve been the worst pitcher around last year. He’s old, has injury issues, can’t hold runners, lost a lot of his fastball and isn’t the strongest mentally. But he’s having a great month! I’m in, and willing to take all of his considerable salary!”

true...it was no big deal that we got the go ahead run b/c you know they

will get at minimum one in the bottom of the inning….had they gotten three or so it would have been more significant, but even then you don’t feel safe.
