Why Do I
Fear Parraz is about as good as the OF’s we’re paying millions?

Parraz, Kila And
Mitch = run. Maybe Pena makes that runs.

Mitch with a RBI, Royals within two
Go Royals!
is the correct grammatical way to say that...
a RBI…
an RBI?

to me, if it is typed
a RBI, then it is read “a run batted in”
but if it’s
an RBI, then it’s read “an RBI”
so either way is legit

I Don't See
Who would replace them. Teams usually aren’t punished too severely for losing in the conference tournament, even the early rounds.

true, and...
especially this year where the bracket builders have said that the last 12 games wont be as heavily weighted as previous years. Rather, they will try to look at then entire year…novel.

they really have to improve the RPI
using KenPom’s #s would be a huge upgrade
by Freneau on Mar 11, 2010 5:53 PM EST up reply actions 1 recs
A comparison
KenPom = advanced SABERMETRIC analysis
RPI = Royals braintrust “advanced” analysis
Mr Glass, this is a pro sports team, not a retail store - run it like one!
true
there are others that do the #s, but I am not all the versed on it, sorta like baseball stats, I bluff a lot of it, then just kinda agree

my main beef with RPI
and all the #s that BCS uses, is no margin of victory, because of BS “we have to be fine gentlemen here” thinking
umm, margin of victory is pretty damn important as a tool
there’s a larger structural issue that the gap between team 1 & team 100 is MUCH larger than the gap between team 101 & 200 or 201 & 340 for that matter
a smart coach/ad could totally game RPI if they wanted to… and any coach that schedules a team that is going to finish between 300-340 is just an idiot… you can play cupcakes with maybe a 1% greater chance of beaing you that are ranked 180
Herges...
hasn’t thrown anything over 86mph yet (12 pitches).

I Must Venture
To my wild Alaskan driveway and run my snowblower. It’s a 9 horse Honda, and it rocks. Honda small engines are one of the wonders of the universe.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
I spent a month trying to find a lawnmower that had a Honda engine...
But wasn’t a Honda lawnmower, mainly because my yard is not big enough to need all the added bells and whistles of wheels that swivel, and self-propelment
I love this time of year.... The Royals are always in first place!!!
