Meow that was a betting.
Meow I’m going to have to give you a ticket on this one.
Coffee. The NEW Performance Enhancing drug for Sport's Writers. Just ask Ken Rosenthal.
I watched on TV until it turned into a 2-12 game....then I shut it off...
However, I did manage to partake in Ryan and Frank’s debate over sabermetrics vs. old-school thinking.
Is it too much to ask for a 3rd guy in that booth who at least knows the stats arguments? I think it would be hilarious for someone to call out Ryan/Frank while on the air…in fact, I’d pay money to have it happen.
“A hitter’s job is to hit the ball, not to go to the plate trying to walk”
Frank White
aaaaaaaaaaand I’m done. That statement says it all.
MAJOR LEAGUE (The Royals)
Rachel Phelps (Royals Management): I think he'll fit right in with our team concept.
Charlie Donovan (Royals Fans): That reminds me, I was going to ask you. What exactly *is* our team concept?

This happens in industry all the time
I feel like the sabermetric vs. old school argument in baseball is the same divide and struggle that manufacturing has had for the last 50 years. The 30 year machinist knows his way, and his way is to produce conforming parts as quickly as he can in terms of hours of labor. (batting average)
The new business/engineer guy knows that NOT producing parts until you need them is equally important in terms of time value of money and reducing the amount of capital you have tied up, etc. He takes more variables into the equation. (WAR)
It’s really the same thing in baseball. You will always need both people. You need the machinist’s extensive knowledge and “tricks of the trade”, but you also need someone who can see a big picture of how to optimize their skills.
I personally try not to downplay the other side’s point of view in any way, because that absolutely kills any progress that your company can make.
a long fly ball to deep center field, back goes Damon to the track, the wall, and Gone!
he also hated hitting

You forgot former Brave
Wilson Bet A Meat
(so many, it’s nigh on impossible to keep track of all of them, though)

I was curious about the 2010 roster and which players had been in the Atlanta system
Of course the aforementioned Yost, but also
Gregor Blanco
Wilson Betemit
Jesse Chavez
Bruce Chen
Kyle Davies
Anthony Lerew
(Roman Colon)
(Kyle Farnsworth)
Just wait til GMDM gets to the second half of the alphabet.
I also learned that Betemit was traded for Kanekoa Texeria in 2008 (well, not straight up, but they were in the same trade).

Wow, that was just butt ugly...
I am now sure that Rowdy Hardy could outpitch half of our bullpen. Send Chavez packing now. We had 11 hits and score 3 runs. Detroit had 12 hits and scored three times as many runs. I muted the sound after Ryan made some brilliant comment in the 2nd. For some reason he is more entertaining when you can’t hear what he is saying. He and Frank look like two drunk mimes.
