Clayton Richard and the two-seamer :: Friar Forecast
"If we take the 2010 version of the pitch algorithm as the more accurate one, then it appears what happens in 2009 is that a lot of two-seamers were actually classified as four-seamers. So, in reality, Richard’s pitch selection has probably not changed that much – the pitch algorithm has."

No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

I dislike all the stories...
and Krasovic is a KJ. Keep the Faith! Go Padres!

Kras thinks were going 49-63 the rest of the way?
That’s f**ked up and completely wrong.

who cares
I am enjoying this season, and I am not going to try to convince anybody to think anything different.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
It just pisses me off because he's one of the few that isn't a complete dipshit.
"Son, don't mow my lawn."
under the radar is good
The Padres get absolutely no press,
yet they are tied for the 2nd best record in all of baseball
Our offense sucks.
Just imagine if the hitters actually start hitting.
"I post like canned meat."
If he really thinks we are a 79 win caliber team
Then he’s falling into the gambler’s fallacy. The past is the past, a 79 win caliber team is a team that will win 48.8% of its games. The Padres have 112 games left. If they win 48.8% of them they’ll finish 84-68.
Unless, that is, he also predicted that the 79 Padres would start the season 30-20. But, I doubt he did that.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

or possibly
he thinks these Padres are really a .440 team, which would also result in 79 wins. I don’t think he is right, if that’s the case, but it is another explanation.

Well
Since he’s on record before the season saying 79 wins and not 71, that doesn’t hold a lot of water.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
simple explanation
he doesn’t understand math. That is why he became a “journalist”.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Math is stupid. Such a waste of time.

yeah I guess I misread it
if he thinks they are going to fall apart to match his preseason projection, that doesn’t make a lot of sense.
What about this "average fan" business?
Just WHO did the U-T hacks interview to get that skeptical conclusion? I betcha they talked to fans when the Doggers were here, and got the crackpot opinions of Dogger fans. Who knows less about baseball than Dogger fans?

I noticed a weird quirk in the standings yesterday.
The Padres are 14-11 vs. the NL West, and 16-9 against everyone else.
The Dodgers are 15-5 vs. the NL West, and 13-17 against everyone else.
I’m not sure if it means anything at all, but I thought it was interesting.

Scheduling coincidence?
The Dodgers started a hot streak right when they had a block of games against division foes?
I was reading somewhere...
(sorry, forget the source) that the Padres have the easiest schedule in baseball. Does this ring true ?
Padres 2010 Ole'
It probably depends on how you define easiest.

could be
a lot of teams seem to like it when we violate them.

I see Torrealba is gone for the next few days
I hope its nothing like another of those ransom type things with his family, was it him who had his son kidnapped or Blanco?

Wow, Nick pulled the all-nighter LAST night
Was the hero of the game.
Oh, by the way, you need to catch tonight.
We may see this Dusty Ryan character tomorrow if Nick’s knees give out.

Is there wi-fi at Petco?
Off the subject, but my family is pondering going down to the game tonight and I’m wondering if I’ll be able to comment on a non-3G device.
The Padres are good, but make no mistake: we've gotta beef up the linwup.
If I had a nickel from every SBN blog that has banned me, Arrowhead Pride would owe me 5¢.
I'd really like to know that as well
Seeing as I’ve got an iPod touch.

No
The press box does have wifi access, but you’d have to be in range and have the password, and passwords aren’t free.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔
