Thome Goes Deep, Fields Keeps Hitting in 5-3 Loss to Mariners

Since no one else seemed to be writing one and it had been too long since I actually contributed anything (the amount/quality of material the other editors are putting out makes me fear for my title), I figured we needed a sixth front page article on the day. 

It was great getting to watch baseball on consecutive days again (at least until my feed died and minus some of the awful music being played between innings).  There is something nice about the speed of those first few innings in a spring training game.  Plus, as just about everyone on here said in the gamethread, Bill Melton sure sounded nice.

The hitting was pretty unimpressive for the most part in today's loss, with a few exceptions.  Jim Thome crushed a three-run shot out into right center off of Ryan Rowland-Smith.  This was preceeded by Carlos Quentin recording his first hit of the spring and a Jermaine Dye double.  Unfortunately those were all the runs we could muster up.  Thome hit a ball about as far as you can in Camelback (which I'm sorry, but everytime I read that I think of one of these that the Greeks on campus use to smuggle booze) Park without it actually being a home run to deep left-center in his next at bat.  Fields continued to play like a man who wants to start at third this season, going 2-2 with both hits being doubles.  He is currently batting .500 on the spring and not looking too bad out there.  Sergio Santos also went 2-2 in his attempt to become the 2009 Pablo Ozuna.

Unfortunately, Brian Anderson seems to be doing everything he can to insure that Jerry Owens will be coming back north with the club.  He was hitless in three at at bats today with a walk.  Three of our future starters (Allen, Flowers, Beckham) combined to go 0-4, with Getz getting the nod at second and going hitless in two at bats as well.  Alexei continues to struggle at the plate as well, also going 0-2 on the day.

While Clayton Richard didn't have a great performance (3 ER, 4 H, 3 IP), he wasn't completely terrible (3 K, 0 BB).  It seems like he still hasn't quite mastered that all-important throw over to first base yet though.  Jenks and Linebrink each looked sharp in their inning of work, striking out two and one while allowing zero and one hits respectively.  Perhaps the best pitching outing today came from a man who needed it the most, Octavio Dotel.  While he gave up 1 hit and screwed up the pickoff move, Dotel struck out the other 3 hitters after looking like crap every inning prior to this.

There are still some things that need to be improved on before the season starts (defense, dear holy god, defense), we've still got a month and a ton more games and a 3-3 record hardly seems terrible at this point.

I was thinking about his lasik surgery while watching his second AB

when his loopy swing helped him stay back on a breaking ball…. I was thinking that he might experience a different benefit than those sighted in Namee’s study on BJO.

But then I went and reread the conclusion:

All of this flies in the face of intuition. I would have assumed that Lasik, with its improved vision, would result in better pitch recognition and thus more walks (and fewer strikeouts), as well as a higher batting average. But my two studies reveal a striking year-to-year consistency in both batting average and walks, and instead, a jump in power. Given the small sample sizes involved, I’m hesitant to come to any conclusions. This study does bolster a bit the findings of my previous one, though – that Lasik surgery seems to affect nothing except for isolated power.

Fields already recognizes breaking balls better than most all major leaguers. And I don’t think we can expect an increase in ISO over his ‘07 performance. I’m thinking it won’t help him any more than AJ’s Brain Age on the DS or Heath Bell’s Wii Fit.

This comment needs another sentence with misplaced emphasis.

That reminds me of our good friend Keith Law
I’ve said before that I believe Josh Fields will develop into an above-average offensive third baseman, but he has yet to show progress recognizing breaking balls. That’s going to keep his contact rate and his walk rate down, and he doesn’t have a great glove on which to fall back.

I came across that when looking up the Alexei Ramirez running joke, from March 2008. Thought that was funny.

Way Off Topic: Opinions on my ticket package lotto

So this is my 5th season being a partial NYY season ticketholder. With the new stadium, they assigned me to seats double the price of what I requested ($50 a seat instead of $25).
I wound up splitting it up w/ 4 friends who agreed to to take 5, 5, 2 and 2 games apiece, leaving me with 6.
I wrote every name down on a piece of paper for the number of games purchased apiece (6 for myself and so on).
Everyone was fine w/ this, except for one guy who got 2 games. He ranked 6 games for me and he came out w/ his 5th and 6th choices. He is pissed saying he should’ve gotten the 4th pick and the Angels game (the 2 boston games went 1 and 2, and the mets game 3). Instead, he got the 5th pick and a texas game (the game he ranked 5th).

He said I should’ve done 1 pick per person per round, then repeat, then those of us w/ more games figure it out after the 2 game ppl are out.

Anyone have any experience with this? The guy pissed me off, so I said, just go ahead and take my LA game. Whatev

coop says take it easy
While Marquez is penciled in to make his next start Thursday in Las Vegas, he remains a work in progress. His sinkerball has drawn comparisons to Jon Garland, but pitching coach Don Cooper has been working on improving Marquez’s slider to go with a good changeup and curveball.

‘’I don’t know if it’s fair to make the Garland comparison,‘’ Cooper said. ’’Jon Garland won over 100 games [ 106], so this kid has a way to go. I understand that they both throw the sinker well, but let’s let this kid make his own path.’’

by colintj on Mar 2, 2009 11:17 PM CST up reply actions  

Question for anyone who can answer

I was reading FanGraphs’ article on the Cabrera signing and stumbled a bit when I reached this paragraph:

If we project Cabrera as +5 defensively at shortstop to go along with his -13 offensively, add in the +7.5 run position adjustment, and the +20 run replacement level adjustment, it adds up to +19.5 runs above replacement. Basically, that makes Cabrera a league average shortstop. If you think we’re underselling his defense, you can add half a win, but the A’s should expect Cabrera to be something like +1.5 to +2.5 wins above a replacement level shortstop in 2009.

What’s the +20 run adjustment? I know it says replacement level but I’m still a bit confused there.

by CWSKeith on Mar 2, 2009 11:31 PM CST reply actions  

the +5, -13 and +7.5 all refer to runs above average.

in order to get to runs above replacement level, you have to add how much average is above replacement level. at a position over a full season, it’s 20 runs.

"box of wine" is a low blow to WU... insinuating he is a hillbilly.

I would never go out drinking with any of the losers on this board except JC2313 or larry. Maybe chicagopete just so he can call me a DB to my face…

So, if I am reading the two options correctly . . .
we can either a) keep dye or b) trade dye . . . is that you Phil Rogers?

Most people want to remember what happens afterwards

Confusion breeds success. If they don't know each other, opponents can't have strategy. GENIUS.

And not wind up in dumpsters.

...and then some depressed fucked-cake eating.

by homesickalien on Mar 3, 2009 4:45 PM CST up reply actions  

those are both shitty reasons, imo.

a) who cares to remember what happens as long as you think you had fun?
b) you were probably going to wind up in a dumpster anyways.

WTGTD, have you been in the shit?

Don’t talk badly about others drinking habits unless you have been in the shit holding your buddy’s head up so he doesn’t choke on his own blood from the shrapnel that impailed him from enemy artillery.

If you want fun, go to your local frat bar and play grab ass with all the other 19-year old sissies that wouldn’t have a pot to piss in if it wasn’t for mommy and daddy funding their college education.

When you share a beer with someone at a pub that has been in the shit and listent to what he tells you, which makes your arm hair stand up and makes your heart enter your throat, you too will become a better man and not a whiney toad with your hand out.

hey wait, if you're studying animals, you're at the lab a lot, right?

isn’t bevier hall right by there? what is it used for?

I don’t want my beer to taste like fruit or honey. I want pussy to taste that way.

by thatshortkid on Mar 3, 2009 12:35 PM CST up reply actions  

Bevier Hall is right by there

It’s actually the bus stop for one of the routes I take to get to class and I had my econ class in it freshman year. Bevier is used for a bunch of classes in the college of ACES, but I think for the most part is the FSHN (Food Sciences, health and nutrition?) building.

Why do you ask?

mpre is a joke. doesn't require much of anything other than a little common sense.

two rules 1) client consent cures all; 2) one exception is don’t have sex with anyone involved in your cases.

I know, but I'm talking mainly scheduling issues

3L Spring usually is a bad time b/c it could be on your spring break.
After graduation, in August obv sucks b/c you’ve already taken the bar exam and should either be traveling or drinking yourself into a coma by then.

by Crede's Crew on Mar 3, 2009 11:57 AM CST up reply actions  

how much time did you spend on it?

i probably won’t get around to even looking at it until thursday

not much...maybe the equivalent of 4-5 hours

I did sit in a Barbri lecture for it, which was worthless, but they gave a nice handout.
I basically just read the handout like 3-4 times and took one practice test. That was it and I passed by 15 points for my state.

Don’t kill yourself, but don’t do nothing. I know a few ppl that had to redo it.

by Crede's Crew on Mar 3, 2009 11:58 AM CST up reply actions  

yeah got the barbri outline

and i plan on dedicating around that much time — not gonna kill myself, but like i said before, would rather not cancel travel plans so i might spend a bit more time than i would like
