    I'd be in favor of moving the recent new-mod discussion posts to this thread, from the Game Threads Are Awful topic, as I think they are suitably self-contained as to not depend on that thread for context. But because I'm not online much this week, I won't take that initiative right now.

    10-0 in the third inning tonight. This post did not age well. I don't want to place a jinx on them by taking the over, now, though.

    Under. I'm hoping to be proved wrong. And I'm enjoying the ride very much so far.

    If you are looking for fire, then a list of the most frequent posters would be helpful. I'd want to see separate lists for game threads and regular threads - different dynamics and a mod needs to be active (and good) in either. PS concur on spycake

    Larry King? More like Cherry... uh, Bing Cherry. / I'll keep working on it

    Welp, it's getting too late for this East Coast lightweight. I'll have to leave it to you hardier or more westerly fans to bring this win home.

    Ladies and jellybeans, tonight's starting pitcher for the Mariners:

    CRON !!!!

    Quite the hurler, it seems.

    Man, the ban-button trigger-finger was itching for a moment there. Maybe if someone explains the joke to me, it'll still happen.

    Whereas when the Aliens came to abduct Willians Astudillo... ? go!

    Is there an update, is Harper still throwing up in the bullpen?
  14. ashbury
    With chicken dinner for dessert? (After the brownie, of course.)
  15. ashbury
    FTFY
  16. ashbury
    Yes.

    Two heavy-set fellows, and one who's a bit small of stature. Have I got the gist of it?

    Marwin finished 19th that year, Schoop was #12, and Nelson Cruz was 10th. We're working on collecting the whole set! Hope Mookie Betts (#6) and Francisco Lindor (#5) show up on the trade market soon. (Craig Kimbrel was #6 for Cy Young, hint hint.)

    He's not going to stay in the 9th spot forever, if he continues to produce like this. I'm not getting too worked up over exactly when the manager moves him, if it's before the All-Star break.
  20. ashbury
    Ohhh, you, and your fancy high-falutin' theories.

    Just eyeballing it, the New England states would all make more sense in the earlier time zone. But of course Boston would not want to be viewed as in that different of a place than NYC and DC, so there we are.

    Not unless he makes the last out of every game (or, more accurately, the last out occurs during his PA but before the next guy's PA is complete). I look at it this way. Suppose you had a lineup of equally talented hitters. The odds would be 1/9 in any given game that any particular hitter makes the final out. So, one out of 9 games, #1 gets an additional PA relative to #2, and so on down the line. 162 / 9 = 18. Moving someone up from #2 to #1 would get him 18 more PA. Moving up from #3 to #1 would be 2*18=36. Moving all the way up from #9 to #1 would be 8*18=144. I think that's the '8' you were looking for. Of course talent is not equal, and is purposely not distributed randomly through the lineup. But as a first-order approximation I'd go with that. "Your leadoff man gets 18 more PA in a season than the 2 hole." And on down the line.
  23. ashbury
    That is a level of mind-reading beyond most people.

    Post 68. (I was too slow for 67)

    Moderator's note: The discussion is getting pretty "meta", and overly personal to boot. Please stick to the topic of the new reliever, or to the overall state of the bullpen, but leave out the jabs. Either respond/refute the merits, or if you think a post is not worth that then move on.
