either this will forever be remembered as the day the SO'S era begins in KC
or for something ARod does. or Gordon hits five home runs.
i should have dreamed a little bigger
btw… what’s this site’s take on Inception? it seemed like everyone i talked to in person had some sort of battle royale over whether it was amazing or just okay (as in didn’t make sense).
Prediction:
A-Rod does not get to 600 against KC. O’Sullivan lasts only 3 innings today.
Royals win 11-8.

sorry if my off-topic posts clutters the gameday threads
but do any of the statistics websites do a K/PA rate? it just seems like it’s superior to the K/9, but K/9 just seems like the standard. I wish all pitcher rates were on a per-batter basis rather than innings basis.
yeah, that seems a little more intuitive
i.e. – what are the chances this guys strikes out the average bater?
I’d like to find out too.
You can figure it for yourself of course
Just add all the HBP + BB + AB

yeah, it's not too hard
and i more or less do that stuff in an eyeballing sort of way, but i’d prefer to look at one number, do no calculations and save time.
and it's not really just for me
i’m hate when people talk about a pitcher’s great K/9 rate, but just need to cut down on their inflated BB/9 and hits as if the number of batters faced isn’t a significant factor in their strikeout rates.
Maybe you should get a TM on that stat and write a formula in EXCEL to figure it for you.
Start a webpage and sell it to GMDM and revolutionize the game. :)
Coffee. The NEW Performance Enhancing drug for Sport's Writers. Just ask Ken Rosenthal.
Fair enough
I ran those stats just to see what they would look like. Top 10 in K/PA:
Jered Weaver – 0.2712
Josh Johnson – 0.2670
Clayton Kershaw – 0.2621
Jon Lester – 0.2614
Francisco Liriano – 0.2603
Brandon Morrow – 0.2581
Yovani Gallardo – 0.2555
Tim Lincecum – 0.2523
Jonathan Sanchez – 0.2424
Mat Latos – 0.2382
And compare that to the top 10 in K/9:
Brandon Morrow – 10.01
Clayton Kershaw – 9.943
Jered Weaver – 9.873
Francisco Liriano – 9.811
Yovani Gallardo – 9.753
Tim Lincecum – 9.547
Jon Lester – 9.519
Josh Johnson – 9.463
Jonathan Sanchez – 9.297
Tommy Hanson – 9.064
Lots of the same names. Don’t know if it tells you much else than K/9, but it could be interesting with BB/PA.

interesting
maybe the reason K/PA isn’t used is because there isn’t as much variation as i had thought and it’s just easier to read.
Maggs Injury
Well, the Tigers have lost Inge and Maggs and Zumaya. Now they just have to start losing and we start winning and we’ll overtake them for 3rd in the division.

nope
you throw gordon breaking pitches for strikes early in the count, fastball outside that he fouls off, then breaking stuff in and off the plate for the K (change low and away may work as well).
basically, anything but a fastball down the middle of the plate and he’s not going to do anything with it. it’s really not hard to understand, he refuses or is incapable of altering his approach.

I'd have him steal right now.

Steal whom?
Just grab Tex and run out with him. Maybe he can play for KC then.

Is that why they kept showing that hipster doofus w/the hat?
I’ve got the radio audio going instead of Ryan’s blather.

wow WTF
nobody gives a damn about the stupid ass hats. Our announcing has to be far and away the worst in baseball. They make a big deal about how Gordon has not had a hit since coming back up and six about before that, he gets a hit and all they can talk about is hats that look like a canopy. I can’t stand those dudes
Those were the good ole days... wait I wasn't alive then
