    Now repeat the ancient chant, "Owah... Tagu... Siam".

    Yeah, it's easy to do that. Pro-tip, get there early, because they run exactly on time.

    This view is useful, but seriously clouds the value of a stud athlete if he makes it to the major leagues. First, because these career WAR totals reflect both higher per-year WAR accumulation, and longer careers. Second, because you can't put together a winning team by promoting 50 1.0-WAR players to the majors in a season. The constraint of a 25-man roster looms huge, in making grade-60 prospects more valuable than 55-grade. I was being a little flippant in suggesting an actual exponential weighting (and I backed off of it in the next breath). But it's far, far from linear.

    The only remaining debate is whether he will make another out at the plate this season, or the rest of his career.
  10. ashbury
    Yes, and it's not just not linear, it's almost exponential, how much more valuable a player gets as he moves toward the tail of the bell curve. I'd almost try a point system like this: 45 = 1 pt per player 50 = 2 pt per player 55 = 4 60 = 8 65 = 16 70 = 32 Maybe cap it at 8, though; there is a lot of noise in these 80-point scale rankings of players, and someone's opinion that a player is a 70 and not a 65 shouldn't leapfrog a team over a lot of others.

    The following video was made a while back, trying to illustrate the difference between a hard slide and a dirty slide. Is it the case that both slides would be called interference now? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-d-cxj6LJM

    For those pools that count points based on age, is there any definitive info on what time of day he was born and what time of day he passed away? You never know when a contested point turns out to decide the season standings.
  13. ashbury
    Worked great. It's back to 4-2.

    Note to self: don't drop acid and then post to Game Thread. / edit - I see DaveW already scooped me

    I walked away for a moment, when the score was 5-1 after the double, and when I came back the score was 4-1. What happened?
  16. ashbury
    I'm not in favor of middle infielders getting broken legs, but man, takeout slides are part of the game. It's going to take me a while to get used to this new sport they are calling baseball.

    Before that, Radke in 2004. Before that, Radke in 2003....

    I undersold the man considerably, in my post defending him.
  19. ashbury
    No one is likely to surpass Carneal in my mind, as a steady presence you could just listen to during a long season and never find yourself thinking more about the announcer than the game.
  20. ashbury
    Probably the first time anyone has hung that nickname on him since he was a toddler.

    Now that April Fools shenanigans are behind us, is anyone brave enough to click on a link named Fake Rickroll?
  22. ashbury
    It was the beard, wasn't it?
  23. ashbury
    I saw who posted it before I clicked. There are certain people for whom every day is April Fools Day.
  24. ashbury
    I would rather you or anyone sign him too. That way the Twins won't be tempted.
  25. ashbury
    We fake it.
