Meeting Mr. Hillman yesterday.
The guy with the very light beard and mariners hat/jersey on is one of the main gents from lookoutlanding.com. We met, and had a nice conversation. He was actually there dropping off a stat sheet for Banny, which included the Lookout Landing devised statistic of tRA. tRA stands for 'true runs allowed.' If you would like to read about tRA, you can find that information here.
Here is Greinke's tRA

Nah...
Aside from the area where you can request the tRA analysis of any player - that is in this thread. Graham is one of the guys I met there, and he was one of the main contributors to the tRA analysis’ going up on that site, although I think he was much less involved in the math work that went into it.
Anyways, I thought it was very cool that a Mariners fan group was gving Bannister information to help him, to which they replied that they really didn’t have many options throughout the league, and that Banny is really the only stat-head.
Finally coming back to the 'K'!!!! I'm going to be there 7/11/08, vs the SEA Mariners, of course!

That’s pretty funny, really. I guess I can see that with the Goatee, Royals gear, and the fact that we are white. Other than that, I think it is probably a stretch.

That was one thick goat. Mine only looks dense because it is long. Apparently my facial hair is actually stuck in perpetual late puberty.

Awesome pic
Are you really that huge or is Trey that small?

Hahaha....
Yeah, the concrete I am standing on is probably 6” higher than the playing field. In addition, I would say I naturally have 2-3” on Trey, as I am about 6’1 1/2”. I definately outweigh him by 45+ lbs or so.

Very cool about the stats Banny uses.
