    I'm still hoping for "Twins mount late comeback, Cleveland steams".

    I have given up on baseball and started watching YouTube videos of baby goats.

    Ughhhhhhhhhhh.

    Nah, it's not even that I'm offended... That week I worked just shy of 100 hours and hadn't had a day off in two weeks. My patience has bottomed out for those who non-constructively complain about things. I'm more than happy to help those who ask for it.

    The Twins are getting killed on some pretty pathetic hits tonight.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    They're not using it as a precise tool. They're outputting data and sorting that data numerically. They could include no decimal points or they could calculate WAR to the twentieth point... That has no bearing on how it should be used.

    Eh, I've been involved in multi-million dollar site launches that went far less smoothly than the TD transition. Yeah, there were bugs... There are ALWAYS bugs. I also have a full time job so it's not like I get to spend an entire day working on the site.

    With a post like that, I hope the door didn't knock him on his ass on the way out.

    I thought I'd get a nice relaxing game to watch tonight but the Indians have clawed their way back into this damned game.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Do you happen to remember what the ad was advertising?
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    I like to poke in and remind everyone of this little thing called "observational bias" every now and again.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    Reality is far more complicated than that. 11 HR total. 4 HR in tie games. 6 HR in games within 1 run. 7 HR in games within 2 runs.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Massively improve? No. But should we expect improvement from a 23 year old player as he approaches his prime seasons? Absolutely.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Except for that time Hunter took a swing at Justin Morneau.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Expect that they don't. Joe Mauer 2014 bases empty: .697 OPS. Joe Mauer 2014 RISP: .796 OPS. Yes, a lot of that is OBP driven (his OBP is a whopping .400 with RISP) but his slugging is also marginally higher with RISP (.015). What can we learn from this? That RISP is pretty much a useless statistic on which to base a player's worth, as it fluctuates wildly from season to season due to SSS. Joe Mauer spent the bulk of his career hitting marginally better with RISP, just as most players do (because RISP appearances tend to come against worse pitchers who are hit more easily). He didn't suddenly "forget" how to hit with RISP after a decade in the league. It's a meaningless statistic. Joe Mauer has been a pretty bad hitter this season. That's his problem, not RISP.

    Okay, round... I forget which round this is. Yawn. The networks have blocked the publisher of those awful world cup-framed ads. Let me know if the sound issues continue.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    They'll almost certainly win more games this season, as last year's team tanked in epic fashion.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Not easily. Twins Daily has always operated in this fashion. It's something I'd like to rectify but that's wasaaaaaay down the road, as it would require a ground zero overhaul of all code.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    I've reported those Kate Hudson ads and everything from that publisher.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Hard to say. I have so many things on my list right now that it's hard to say when I'll get to the new databases and polish them up.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Spacing issues are easy: read this blog primer, particularly the section about pasting rich content. As for tables, that is on my list of things to add in the future. I was surprised they weren't in there by default and adding them is a bit tricky, as they require loads of BBCode settings that I need to research.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    I bashed Moore a bunch for trading for Shields. Honestly, I still think it was a mistake because they could have done the same thing this offseason for Price. But part of me has to root for the Royals, if only for the fans who have suffered for so long. I still want Oakland to win a ring for Beane but an ALCS of Oakland/KC sure wouldn't make me angry... but MLB would probably have a fit.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    It's not hard to speed up the game. All the umpires have to do is enforce the bloody rule already on the books: And if the batter is delaying the game, change the rule to call a strike instead.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Sure you have, you just didn't notice because they were all MLB players at that point.
