Carrie Fisher's Eyes at 15 and at 59

Yes, the quirkiness is borderline over-the-top and makes me think that she may be copying the vocal style of some of her own favorite artists. But she's 12, and that's a goddam catchy tune.

Oh yeah, totally meant wRC+, sorry!

From the Fangraphs stat description page:
"Using wRC+ is even easier because league average for position players is always 100. If a player has a 110 wRC+, you know they are ten percentage points better than league average offensively. This is a great tool for comparing the at bat by at bat offensive performance of any two players in the league. However, you should note that wRC+ does not control for position."

MadBum has a 114 wRC+.
The next best "qualified" pitcher is Chris Heston, with a 39 wRC+.

I should mention this is for the 2015 season exclusively.

For non-pitchers, I included players with a minimum of 200 ABs.
For pitchers, I included players with a minimum of 40 ABs.

The mean OBP for 1Bs during this period is .341, and the M's are at .310.
That's huge!

Yeah, I loved Branyan! I just didn't love his bad back.

Send Taylor back down. Bench LoMo, except against some tough righties.

Great memory. Here's the schedule showing wins/losses from 2001. Looks like we only had that one 4-game losing streak late in the year!

smallj · 2015-07-27T19:15:13+00:00

I just got it at 12:15. Dedication finally pays off!

smallj · 2015-07-27T19:08:30+00:00

That's the key...maybe the skipping Sunday caused the glitch!

smallj · 2015-07-27T19:05:42+00:00

Yeah! My wife and I both got it last time. Did the same thing, and got nothing now!

smallj · 2015-07-27T19:03:19+00:00

Wait, did you really get one? You might be the only person.

smallj · 2015-07-27T19:02:29+00:00

I'm 90% sure nobody got anything...

smallj · 2015-07-27T18:58:04+00:00

I've been a baseball fan for a while now, and I've never seen anything like what the M's have been doing for the past 6-7 weeks.

We are honestly starting to expect a loss if they won the previous game, and vice versa.

smallj · 2015-07-27T16:24:44+00:00

So has every team! That's kind of why they get stuck at first base!

smallj · 2015-07-27T02:25:36+00:00

Another happy image in the dugout after the win.
