Danks Shuts Down Angels, Sox Sweep Halos
by U-God on Jul 8, 2010 3:11 PM CDT

PrintJohn Danks, who just doesn't know how to win, proceeded to make the former AL West front-runners look like they should be playing in the Pacific Northwest. John's start was positively vintage Mark Buehrle. Danks allowed only two hits, the first in the seventh. Seven strikeouts, zero walks? Filthy nasty.
The best part might be that if not for Ervin Santana hitting Juan Pierre in the first at-bat of the game, the winning run may not have crossed the plate. As you've heard numerous times by now, this is the first time the White Sox have recorded a four game sweep of the Angels since 1983. Winning Ugly indeed. This gives the Pale Hose their fifth win in a row, and they now sit a season-high eight games above .500. Bring on the Royals.
Oh, and Rev HaloFan, your team just got their collective asses handed to them in that city you've spoken so poorly of.

to be honest it rarely does
i go to ucla and prior to this year it rained seriously (as in actually need an umbrella, not drizzling bullshit that makes LA natives grab rainboots and jackets [no offense TSK, forget if you’re from there or just living there]) 2-3 times a school year. For whatever reason it actually rained this winter a bit

Fuk you angel fans...
Take them out of the ballgame, city says
Angel Stadium has a problem with rats. Anaheim wants the team to solve it.
August 07, 2007|Christian Berthelsen and Dave McKibben, Times Staff Writers
Two years ago, Orange County suffered the indignity of having its baseball team adopt the name of that gritty metropolis to the north. Now Angels fans must contend with another unwelcome urban element: rats.
Public officials reacted with anger and disappointment Monday to news that food vendors at Angel Stadium, including its exclusive Diamond Club behind home plate, had been cited 118 times for vermin violations since 2005 — far more than other stadiums in the region.
Team ERA was at 4.85 a month ago June 9
no heading under 4.00 woohoo
"But this streak goes to eleven"
FKeithLaw
With Peavy likely out for the season, do the White Sox make a run at Cliff Lee? If not, do you see the Sox as viable contenders in the AL Central after losing their ace (at least their ace for the past month)?
Klaw
(1:27 PM)
Even if they included Beckham, I’m not sure they could pull that off. And I didn’t see them as viable contenders with Peavy, so it seems less likely now.
"Officially off strike...."
With Peavy we led the AL in FIP and xFIP
and we were only about 2 games out. I’m pretty sure with Peavy we were viable contenders unless they changed the definition of " viable."
its Keith Law
never had an opinion that he’d think about changing. Danks is not impressive to him.

maybe the Sox are not as good as the Twins or Tigers
but it’s like he can’t do the simple math. The season is half in the bag and, like all the systems predicted, it’s a trio of midgets once again. How does that not equal “viable contender”?

Because Law has never admitted he was wrong on anything.
I hate that guy with a passion.
"Officially off strike...."
Because clearly that would an interesting read.
“Hey guys, remember how at the begining of the season I predicted that one set of teams would be good and another set would be bad, but then some of the good ones were bad and some of the bad ones were goods. I was wrong. I guess there is an element of uncertainty in sports.”
good predictors at least update their

not sure PECOTA had the Sox over .500, but it rarely does
The way this team is looking right now I’m getting some serious “they might actually win 90+ games” vibes, and that would probably be good enough even to pass a Cliff Lee augmented twinkies team.
It all comes down to the pitching, and for sure most of us (and the projections) thought that as well. If the pitching stays dominant the sky is the limit. If the pitching is merely good or average they are back mediocre.
No way we approach 90 without some huge moves
They are hot now, they’ll be cold at some point and they’ll be mediocre for the most part. Our hope is that we get lucky and are hot when we play the Twins & Tigers next month.
I think they have a lot more 0-4 stretches than 11-0 left
I think the pitching on this team is great but not great enough to over come an offense that trots out 4 replacement level bats every game.
Why because you say so?
The offense has been basically avg since BABIP came back into line. Stars and Scrubs. And they don’t have to go 11-0. Its rare anyway. 4 out of 6 and 6 out of 10 is just fine. 4 weeks ago you would have put down a mint that this team wouldn’t sniff 1st place. By the end of July they will be.

I don’t Konerko can sustain his current pace. Q is streaky and injury prone. When/if either of those guys stops producing at a high level, the offense will stumble.
On the flip side, maybe Beckham will fix his swing and make up for it. Maybe Alexei will take a step forward. Maybe Dayan will perform well enough to replace Teahan/Kotsay. Maybe the the stars on the Tigers and Twins go down with injuries.
I think the likelihood of the things in that first paragraph happening are more likely than the things in the second

Well technically the odds tell us what is more likely to happen
And last I checked (today) your conclusion would be wrong. So excuse me if I don’t buy your best case Twin worst case Sox scenario. That said games aren’t played on paper.
"Officially off strike...."
perhaps you have your own projection system
besides listing the Twins lineup.
"Officially off strike...."
THe guy asked why people thought the Twins were good or something to that effect.
THeir lineup and front office are why
Of course.
Though I’m sure they will be readjustment for some. But you act like its not give and take for the whole team. And how much do you expect him to cool off? Who knows? Players are capable of career years late and seasons out of the norm.
"Officially off strike...."
Find me a championship team
and somewhere you probably find more than a couple career years. You don’t “depend” on it but it happens. Konerko has managed the impossible, shut Kenwo clean the hell up!
"Officially off strike...."
Teams that are reliably successful have a bunch of quality players in whick case you can expect at least one to have a career year or a couple to have career half-years
The Sox have a couple good hitters. Relying on both to sustain their current level for the whole season is not a dependable recipe for success, but hopefully I am wrong.
hell he even had me vote 20 times or so for him for the all star game
2012 really could happen folks.
Kenwo4life=ratings
Each game has become a six inning affair
If they have the lead after 6, then the opposition gets to see Putz, Thornton and Jenks. Oh, and hasn’t Alexei raised his BA about 60 points since June 1? I’d say that’s a step forward. There’s plenty more to be optimistic about. KW will make a move to improve the offense if he can swing it. You should know that by now.
I meant becoming an allstar level guy
I would agree that he will be better than he was the first couple months
Also, the production at 2B probably can't get any worse.
Cheer up guys, we are back in the race.
q has a babip of .232. His career is 30 points higher
I’d be shocked if Q finished the year with an OPS under .800. Of course, I also would be shocked to see him play 140+ games.
AJ can’t hit any worse. Vizquel / Viciedo between the two at least have some solid tangibles they bring to 3B: power at the corner for Dayan and great defense from Vizquel.
Beckham, well, he can’t hit any worse either. Between Jones/Kotsay they have a bad but not black hole DH.
Rios and Kong are 4, 5 WAR players, Ramirez is a solid starter.
And the pitching is leading the league in xFIP, even if the defense is mediocre and the park doesn’t help the ERA.
as bad as everyone felt back then
you’d think everyone would be thrilled with what’s happened lately. Why ruin it by talking about what-ifs? This is a great run they’re on and who knows what will happen going forward. Just enjoy it while it lasts!
I don't know, they are following 2005 formula (that had a lot of BABIP pitching luck)
to a tee. Dominant starting, dominating bullpen, low variance 5 run a game offense at best.
Plus with such a dominant bullpen they are likely to over perform their pythag.
I doubt they win more than 90, but I doubted they’d even finish with 80 wins only a few weeks ago.
Things are rolling in the South Side, I’m just going to enjoy the ride and not worry too much about True Talent projections and the like. Sox almost always out-perform their projections.
they even have peavy taking the role of "star that contributes and then gets season-ending injury"
Team. Of. Destiny.
These events have me frightened and on the verge of evacuating my bowels.

That's the whole fun thing about it huh?
Run differential can be so much more pronounced when its on the heels of run prevention. The 05 team outscored opponents what like 80 runs? That and 1 run luck. Nice to run Putz, Thorton and Jenks out there.
"Officially off strike...."
I don't think that's true
this is a hot team and that means enjoying it while it lasts. Luck is a powerful force in baseball and when the gods are with you, you don’t sit on your laurels. You get out there, find a virgin to sacrifice and then a lefty bat. Can’t let them think we are ungrateful for this bounty.

I never said we dont still need a bat
we do. But run differential is in fact more pronounced in lower scoring teams. Maybe I am saying it wrong. A 70 run difference is much different in a team who limits their opponent to 700 runs vs one who allows 800 and scores 870.
"Officially off strike...."

This is my first post and I want to thank you all for the opportunity to talk about and discuss my beloved WHITE SOX. Having been a long time life long die hard SOX fan, I understand all the concerns referenced above. Mike North said it best in 2005 when he said “If you walk down the same alley every day and get the crap beat out of you, you expect to get the crap beat out of you.” But we ended all of that in 2005, and for the first time in my 40-some years of enjoying every victory and dieing with every defeat, I am no longer afraid to “walk down that alley”. Peavy going down to me is simply an opportunity for a young star to be just that – a young star. The 2010 version of our SOX is a team that we can count on to hang in there until the end…and more. I mean come on, am 11 game and now a 5 game winning streak in the same month does not happen by chance…just wake up every morning and be glad we do not have to wear blue every day… Thanks and keep the faith
we had a lot of double hitters this month!
Sorry couldnt resist. Welcome.

Wow, not sure what that was all about
Kinda hard not to side with Tango. I understand running a business isn’t easy and deserves respect, but I don’t remember anyone picking on BP as a business. Everyone has their issues of course (Will’s “leading the discussion” bit for me) but that outburst seems weird and unjustified to say the least.
Fireworks: Bang?
by colintj on Jul 8, 2010 5:59 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
they spend a lot of time nit-picking at BP on tango's site.
i imagine that’s the background to his comments.
while it was inelegantly worded by sheehan, tango does sometimes veer off into pretending he knows way more about a subject than he really does. and i’m fairly certain that running a sports website isn’t one of those things that he knows about – as was blatantly obvious from his comparison of BP with fangraphs.
and i would point out
when they nitpick about stats issues, they’re usually right on. when they get into other things – like how BP should run their site – well, there’s a reason the numbers guys usually don’t run a company.
Also, does Joe get paid to consult for MLB
front offices? Isn’t that comparable industry success?
Fireworks: Bang?
by colintj on Jul 8, 2010 6:01 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
A lot of what Tango has done isn't innovate
it’s remembering and reproducing what was discovered in the 80’s, 90’s and early 00’s. Pete Palmer, Voros McCracken, Keith Woolner, etc. laid the groundwork but were almost without an audience. E.g. Palmer (iirc) developed the framework for what would become WAR, but he didn’t have the datasets to do the specifics on position adjustment and the like.
Sheehan afaik was around for all that but has been a different kind of steward. Turning BP into an institution gave Moneyball and the community to come a place to drop anchor. That shouldn’t be overlooked. Tango’s stewardship seems to come from the fact that he and MGL are so good at the details and data handling. They are the go to guys for turning theory into grounded analysis that doesn’t forget or overcomplicate anything.
Fireworks: Bang?
by colintj on Jul 8, 2010 6:23 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
when I first got into sabermetrics back in 04, 05, it was BP and Tom's site that really drove my interest
that was before the explosion that we’ve seen since then of sabermetric writing online. Tango’s pure math mixed with BP’s sneering superiority really drove me into the field, it all seemed to fascinating.
Hell, if I had been able to approach baseball with my 25 or 26 year old mind when I was still playing at fairly high level in high school and then in college I might have been able to be quite a bit of a better player.
of course I just read “The Numbers Game” which really opened my eyes as to the great work that as being done back in the 50’s and 60’s even on applying casino style stat work to baseball.
I find it amusing that so many people that were protecting us from the Soviets
also did excellent work advancing what we now know as Sabermetrics.

They have 2 other guys signed to contracts, Mario Chalmers and Michael Beasley.
Only way you fit 3 max contracts is by trading Beasley to Miami, that leaves 4 guys under contract and 8 new guys you need to sign, at least 2-3 of them have to be capable of contributing on a nightly basis.
There’s a looming lockout meaning the only people who are willing to take bargain contracts are ring-chasing veterans. Otherwise, this FA has proven everyone is about the money.

Still need another ballhandler, a good outside shooter, and another big man to crash the boards and play defense. It’s doable, and they could just pay luxury tax out the ass for the next few seasons in order to win a title.

Nothing has been officially reported, so it's possible they all take less than max.
But, most reports out there indicate that Bosh is coming to Miami via S&T and the Heat give up Beasley. Without Beasley they have space for 3 max contracts thanks to the 2 million bump in the salary cap.

I was thinking more along the lines of how unfortunate it is that basketball doesn’t have as much physical contact as let’s say football. And then thought about who could give a very vicious hit on james without falling apart himself. Out came Lewis. So yeah, eat shit OM
Lupe, release the balloons!
Take it easy partner.
LeBron gets more physical punishment than any NBA player out there. He’s built like a linebacker, so it doesn’t particularly affect him. But, there are plenty of guys sitting at home thinking to themselves how much fun it will be to lay him out on the court.

originally reported as 5 years 80 mill
which left enough for a max contract to go alongside him due to annual raises and such
i also heard 5 years 75 mil, I never bothered to see which was more official
also those figures could have been the terms originally drawn out under the assumption of a smaller cap. The cap number was 2 mil larger so he may get slightly more
-Jeeves Life in the Cell
Look at the present.
He is huge. And the enemy of a sports business isn’t wrath, it’s indifference. Every game will be sold out. And Miami is the gateway to international riches. No one outside the US gives a rat’s ass where he plays as long as he wins and gives SportsCenter moments. Overseas – that’s the market. We’re bankrupt anyway in the US.

I have no idea whether he is an idiot, but this appears to me to be a fairly gigantic blunder on his part.
I suspect he and his people have rather severely underestimated the backlash that will come of this. The Heat are about to become the most hated team in sports. He is about to become the most hated player in the NBA. I think an excellent argument can be made that that would not have happened had he picked literally any other team. Sure, there are players who would thrive on that and the attendant pressure.
I don’t think he will.

He's just lost all credibility
Not only is he going to be disliked, but he’s lost that mystique of a champion. Kobe or MJ would never go to be someone’s number two.
Sure he’ll probably win titles, but no one is going to think of of him as that guy who led a team to the championship. He’s not going to be compared to MJ anymore. It’s over, his legacy is ruined. Now he’s just another great player. Maybe he doesn’t care I guess.

agreed 100 percent.
that was a bitch move to join the heat. if he would have went to new york, new jersey, chicago, the clippers or stayed in cleveland i wouldn’t have thought that….. but just to go be Wades’ Robin (or maybe Alfred since Bosh got there first)… c’mon. Could u imagine Jordan bolting for the Lakers? Or Kobe joining the Spurs? It wouldn’t happen. Terrible.

Look at Kobe.
Rapist, allegedly. A pariah. Winning washes it all away. The Heat is not the ‘92 USA Olympic team. The judgment call is whether he’ll really be able to win. If he loses he looks like an idiot.
The kid is 25. You have to leave home sometime. Larry Bird left for Boston (drafted, sure) after college and always was more comfy in Indiana. But you gotta move on. Kids have to leave home. I wouldn’t want to carry the hopes of an entire city on my back my whole professional life
I was right about whether or not he was going to leave. Check with me in 2-3 years. I’m not saying he handled this well – Cleveland was hosed in a major way on international TV – but I don’t disagree with the move.
And hate? Look at this thread. Mein Kampf is a punch line. Time heals most wounds. Winning in America heals them faster.

But the tranished image in this case is directly related to basketball
so I don’t know that winning helps. Unless of course he clearly demonstrates that he is far and away the best player on the team and that Wade subjugates himself into being more of a role player type. But every game winning shot that Wade makes is going start a whirlwind of talk radio buzz about LeBron’s lack of a killer attitude and all that garbage. If Wade finishes the season as the team’s leading scorer, heaven help “The King”…
And just to be clear, I am talking about public perceptions, not my own
i think there are many differences between the 2008 celts and the 2010 heat.
