You do realize the analytics crowd is about to disown you, right?

That's okay, I was never invited to the group... My taeks are too hot to analyze!

I thought my math career ended years ago with linear algebra ... thanks a lot for those who continue to bring math to the thread ...

 

:)

 

I knew a few people who changed their majors in large part to linear algebra.  It caused a lot of anguish and grief.

Infinitely greater than the odds he hits into a double play out of the three hole.

Being as this is a math thread, show your work!

could be worse, could be parabolic algebra. Or, hyperbolic algebra. :)

You're very welcome.*

I'm liking Escobar starting at SS today because I'm a firm believer in letting everybody on the roster compete for a job. I know this won't be popular but if Santana is going to make the roster... play him. If given the opportunity and they fail... then you move on and when you move on... they can't say they weren't given a chance. Players sitting 1 game a week so others can be mixed hurts nobody. It probably won't hurt the team in the short term but if it does it will help the team in the long run. I don't want a repeat of last year with Molitor going back to the same struggling players and letting Polonco, Kepler and Arcia watch it happen from the bench. If they made the roster... give them some playing time.

 

So I'm happy with Escobar playing and I hope to see Santana and Gimenez tomorrow.

 

Jeez... that's the most baseball I've ever typed in a game thread. I might be coming down with something

You started with nothing and it lead to baseball. Interesting progression.

What a terrible play by the Royals to end up with a strike-em-out, throw-em-out! I couldn't believe Gordon was out when watching Castro double clutch the throw as Moustakas almost blocked the plate. I was shocked when the camera showed the tag.

I'm not a fan of Santiago's command so far today.

Yeah-he has been a little all over to start. Lot of pitches for the first inning.

I do love "watching" on GameDay. The first four pitches to Moose were all shown as in the strike zone and one pitch was listed as a changeup and one a "sinker". Changeups and sinkers at the top of the zone usually aren't a good thing.

I'm a fan that our IT team set up a VPN at work, so I'm able to watch MLB.tv today!

My work doesn't have any restriction settings on, but my internet here is slow, so it's a little choppy. I could watch it on my phone and it be fine, but that eat up all my data.

And here I am pretending to work and listening to the radio like a sucker!  

 

I need a better IT department.
