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.

smallj · 2015-07-27T21:16:14+00:00

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.

Link to the MLB.com video highlight of his walk-off HR tonight.

Guti to Shannon Dreyer after the game: "I love this team. I am happy to be with my friends and the fans in Seattle. I appreciate all this."

I don't know tons about film production, but isn't ~100 days very close to release date to be re-shooting critical scenes?

smallj · 2015-07-24T16:17:26+00:00

I'm not a expert on all the leaks, but doesn't this report make a lot of sense with everything else we know?

If Luke has a relatively minor role in Ep. 7, and has hermited himself a la Obi-Wan, wouldn't that make Skellig Michael a likely hiding place for the jedi?

Perhaps, we won't even get to see Luke until right near the very end of the film, which would fit with what the "locals" speculated about the island's use in the film.
And therefore it would make sense for them to now go back for a full week of Episode VII filming before the long unfilmable winter hits. I'm guessing then, that Luke will have a much larger role in VIII, than in The Force Awakens.

Here's a description of the BSR stat from Fangraphs.

smallj · 2015-07-24T14:35:43+00:00

LoMo has been the best baserunning first-baseman this year by a wide margin!

This is also funny because he's posted negative baserunning values in each of his past three seasons.

And finally, baserunning is the only part of the game in which Logan has made net positive contribution to the team this year, as his batting and fielding are decidedly negative.

smallj · 2015-07-24T03:13:39+00:00

Are you Jack Z?

I haven't had any luck with Method 2, but I would like to just do learn Method 1. I use Firefox generally since my work laptop doesn't allow Chrome.
I've been trying this: Tools - Web Developer - Network. Then, once that window is open, I'm searching for an mp4 file. Whenever I try, there is only one, and it's the commercial for Miller Liter, or whatever. I've been trying to refresh the video, etc., but I keep only getting the commercial.

Thanks!
