Podsednik, Carrasco Steal Another Game For White Sox

Bullet point recap
- We've already established that Gordon Beckham is pretty good. It's probably not a good idea to attack him with hanging curveballs, though I do enjoy watching the results.
- Jose Contreras, ugh
- D.J. Carrasco deserved to win this game, and in an ironic twist may have cost himself another start. The Sox need their 5th starter on Saturday, which would put DJ on 3 days rest were he to get the start. But the Sox are without Bobby Jenks right now, and would have to rest DJ between now and then as well. I don't know if the Sox can go through the next few games 2 men down in the pen, 3 if you count the incredibly inexperienced Jhonny Nunez.
- It now feels like the Sox have stolen 2 games this week, the first being DJ's first start, the bullpen game, and now this one, which was essentially another bullpen game. But this one seemed even more unlikely, especially as Lackey made it through the 8th.
- Scott Podsednik, who wasn't on the roster when the Sox opened camp and was sitting at home during the season's first couple weeks, now has 3 walk-off hits this season, one more than the rest of the team combined.

Great game
This team is all over the place this year… I am looking forward to some very exciting years

in advance for this weekend...the indians are just flat out bad...
twins knocked them all over progressive field today…i think punto was the only twin to not get a hit (fuck yes i might add to that)
also…andy marte back up on the big league roster for the tribe, playing first base…hit some bombs in bp…but still has long swing and looks not ready to adjust to big league pitching
hawk has also gotten to my little brother…who is now convinced carlos gomez is going to be a star after coming a triple shy of the cycle and making a nice catch in center
that would involve a whole bunch of skull fucking.-BoeJouma

Introduce your brother to the notion of splits, and then kindly explain to him that other than Gomez' success against the Sox, he is a minor leaguer.

solo shots by beckham and quentin (i’m sure some of you have called the dr. since then because you have had boners lasting more than 4 hours)….. great relief pitching and they came from behind after the 6th inning for a change. Podsednik drives me nuts but he has been pretty good this year. I may even venture to say he has been CLUTCH! here is to winning at least one more, hopefully both vs. the Angels.

I am sure if Beckham didn't have a game yesterday he would have flown
a stealth bomber into N. Korea, parachuted out over the government’s work camps, thrown the two American journalists over his back and carried them to a waiting canoe off the shore of S. Korea and rowed them back to safety in San Diego….he then would have made a stop by Peavy’s house and rubbed Beckham holy water on Jake’s ankle.

get off the ledge
this talk reminds me of Richards’ 4 or 5 starts in late June/early July before the 2 gems . . . and then everyone was slobbering his knob. This is what decent backend starters do . . . look good at times, look bad at times. Overall, he hasn’t been that bad (especially if you strip out the early stuff when he probably didn’t belong up here) . . . if your expectations for Contreras are anything other than what you have seen thus far, please re-adjust them.

He hit 307 his last year in AAA and has a BABIB of 233 this year, he’s had some bad luck. That said, a isoD of .80 might be a bit high.

His MLE
from his 2008 minor league stats was 250/310/460 . . . sound familiar? So, I dont know that he is ‘all of a sudden’ doing better in his late 20’s . . . considering he is still 26. And players tend to peak in the years following that age.

Most guys peak in their mid to late 20's...

That's not really fair
His swing is quicker and shorter than BA’s and has less holes. I think .260 / .340 is a bit much, but he’s a better hitter than BA at this point.

but it’s a loan so best case is that hull stays competive, jozy gets plenty of playing time, impresses and Villa brings him back next year with some actual intentions of using him.
But there is very little downside I think, other than the questionable ability of hull’s mids

Taking into account sss for Nix and the mere usage of my eyes as basis for these opinions:
BA couldn’t even properly SWING at a pitch, let alone make helpful contact with one.
Nix seems far more patient and powerful at the plate and makes contact every so often. Yeah, he’s got some work to do and Walker is probably only hurting him (remember how he hit when we first called him up?), but in comparing him to BA offensively, I’d rather have Nix at the plate.
BA was good on defense, but other than very recently, Nix was pretty effing good at SS/2B when we subbed him. Made some really nice plays that Che wasn’t even making at the time.
Besides, BA was a top prospect, expected to do something great and be an asset to our everyday lineup. Nix doesn’t come with those high hopes or expectations, so he’s already better than BA (imo) because he’s not completely letting us down.
And again, sss, but I like what I see in Nix.

Hayek fell by the wayside of serious analysis despite being at Chicago with Friedman and Fama. Justin Fox wrote a pretty excellent history of the last 100 years of macro/finance that I just finished called The Myth of the Rational Market. my understanding of The Road to Serfdom is that it’s more rhetoric than real analysis, having not read it.

I'm not sure if you're going to see this -- I went to the game tonight and didn't want to attempt a mobile post -- but...
A couple of points…
- I’m actually halfway through TRtS right now. Your comment about it being “more rhetoric than real analysis” seems somewhat reasonable. Hayek himself states at several different points in the book that more “real analysis”* would almost certainly be useful, but didn’t fit into what seems to be a ‘general primer*’ rather than a full-blown thesis. The general primer is exactly what I was looking for when I bought the book so I haven’t been disappointed.
- I’m curious as to what you mean by “Hayek fell by the wayside of serious analysis”. I’m not contesting the point but would be interested in some words or a link with commentary on that.
*IIRC, The Road to Serfdom wasn’t meant to be a book in its initial form. I believe it was a series of articles and/or correspondences with other econ folks.
by CWSKeith on Aug 6, 2009 12:03 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
i like talking about this stuff, so i've been checking replies
so: it’s an inference more than anything. i read a lot of econ bloggers and have been starting to educate myself about the history and the math. admittedly i’m not all that far into this personal project, but contemporary Austrians are pretty much unlinked to by the swath of econ bloggers i read and not for want of notoriety. i’ve known of Hayek far longer than, say, Irving Fisher or Kenneth Arrow because the latter two don’t enjoy a cult of personality outside the econ profession. i’ve talked to Commited Libertarians who use Hayek and von Mises like their little red book. i don’t like ideologies or ideologues and i look skeptically on those who inspire such.
as for what happened historically, my understanding is that he was one of many important pro-market economists (dude won a Nobel after all) in the post-war era, but that the rise of the efficient market revolution that began in the 60’s at the university that employed him happened without him.
if you don’t mind some rank speculation, i think this may be because it was beyond his moment. his formative years included two world wars with Weimar and its inept socialists in between. if he had anything to get out to the masses, it was probably about the power of the markets and the evils of socialism and fascism. formal mathematical modeling or debating relatively minor market failings were probably not high on his to-do list. i think we’ve long since reached consensus on that point (how else could Republicans use the word “socialism” like they do?). it’s where markets go wrong and what to do about it that economic policy turns on these days.

by colintj on Aug 6, 2009 1:15 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Thanks -- that what I was looking for
so — trying to tie a tiny bit of baseball in here — Hayek remained a Rob Neyer of sorts, i.e. did a good job of bringing out the generalities of classical liberalism to the masses but didn’t go much beyond that? That seems fair.
And again, the generalities work for me. I have to confess that despite being an econ major, I didn’t do a particularly good job of fully understanding the shit in my early econ classes (big mistake). That changed this (past) semester. My point in mentioning this is that I don’t think — at this point in time — I could really dig into the “mathematical modeling [and] debating [of] relatively minor market failings” and take away from it everything that I needed to (i.e. fully grasp or understand a good enough amount of it).
by CWSKeith on Aug 6, 2009 9:45 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
don't take my word for it.
and he’s obviously an important historical figure. but that’s my assessment, more or less.
and i also just finished a book by Bryan Caplan, an econ prof at GMU, called the myth of the rational voter (even better than the Fox book). it talks a lot about how layfolk really struggle in grasping the utility of the market and general econ principles. a lot of this stuff is counter-intuitive for humans and really learning it requires a commitment to a new way of thinking. i’m definitely not there yet, but there are a few principles like opportunity cost that really straighten things out analytically.

I can fight through the left-leaning jargon so long as he brings it in other areas (ability to write well and stay somewhat factual)
There were some parts on the PBS series that made me roll my eyes — I always have to laugh when “lack of regulation” is pointed to for this or that ‘crisis’ — but like I said above, I can get through that so long as he’s otherwise a decent read. Are you far enough through it to where you’d rec it? Worth the time?

I hope this question isn't directed at me -- I'm pretty sure it's for WU but thought I'd make sure -- because I haven't the slightest clue
that’s way above my level of understanding/knowledge. Run on the dollar — is that akin to China abruptly calling in all of our debt and us being completely fucked as a result of it?
by CWSKeith on Aug 6, 2009 4:47 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
the dollar is more or less the currency of international exchange
which comes with certain benefits. additionally, other gov’ts are very interested in buying our debt, which allows us to finance the operations of our gov’t. if China sold our debt to someone else, that wouldn’t be a problem. it would if it entailed severely curtailed borrowing (aka purchasing of debt) from other countries. if the market for US debt dried up, it would make sense to be in gold and any position that profits off mass inflation of the dollar. a lot of investors afaia have publicly discussed making such bets.
what i’m not sure is why an investor would talk about his strategy unless it came at no harm or was advantageous to his position. there was a long winded discussion of inflation potential as a result and most commentators i read pointed to the TIPS spread empirically and a host of other more theoretical positions for why it shouldn’t be an issue.
one reason an investor might go public is that hyperinflation could kill the very institutions that allow him to make his profit.

Harvard economist and former Harvard University President Lawrence Summers explains Hayek’s place in modern economics this way: “What’s the single most important thing to learn from an economics course today? What I tried to leave my students with is the view that the invisible hand is more powerful than the [un]hidden hand. Things will happen in well-organized efforts without direction, controls, plans. That’s the consensus among economists. That’s the Hayek legacy.”

I don't know, the guy obviously had serious problems
I am not usually that affected by these things, probably just because of the existential need to keep on moving forward and not think about death too often; however, this guys’ diary made me get a pit in my stomach.
He sounded like a 48 year man with the emotional capabilities of a child. His silly rationalizing of the crime, his all-too familiar love/hate relationship with women — just sickening.
Anyways, this has wasted 5 minutes of my time at work, only 70 minutes to go!

Ozzie hates an excess of righties in a row
so AJ’ll probably hit 5th or 6th from here on out. against RHP, AJ is probably the better hitter anyway.

well like i said, AJ's probably a better hitter against RHP than Alexei anyway.
also, it’s worth noting that Q has shown reverse splits so far. he could be considered a lefty.

If Jenks needs surgery then that means
The stone is not coming out naturally. He’ll have to get a catheter, etc. Very painful for several days. Baba Booey from the Howard Stern show had this a couple months ago. After that he threw out perhaps the worst opening pitch in the modern era. He made Obama look like Sandy Koufax with a tan.

not a true competition. that stuff is coming up in the next 2-3 months with my club team with sectionals, regionals, nationals, worlds. hopefully my team can make nationals this year. last year (1st year toegther) we placed 8th at our regionals.

fuck joe cowley
this fucking clown just “announced” on the score that beckham will hit 2nd even when alexei comes back. how much you want to bet this motherfucker doesn’t know that beckham was moved into the 2 hole on july 29th and that alexei was in the lineup that day and was moved down in the order.

sorry. it's just that cowley acts as if the reason for moving beckham to the 2nd spot
is because alexei was injured. we know that not to be true. and he gets paid a lot of money. he should be accurate more often.
