it looks like the Giants implement the most effective shift with 494 shifts and 25 net runs saved. Fewer shifts than the Twins and significantly more net runs prevented. What makes the Giants so effective at shifts, and How can the Twins adapt philosophies to do both the Pirates go rate strategy and Giants shift strategy well? How to balance with effective hitting? So many questions... -
but the 2 seamer argument against Anderson in this case is a strategy vs implementation argument, it's not that the pitch is bad or good, it's that he didn't have the team that could pitch or field the 2 seamer.
-
nailed it, it's less about the 2 seam fastball, than it is about strategy fitting the fixture and tactics implementing the strategy all working hand in glove.

Thanks Lindsey, great read, great cause

yeah, but fielding can't improve enough in one off season to make his outings winners. -

my largest audience was in college, I doing one armed keg-stands in front of 250 drunk people... Talk about discerning audiences -

It has been nice watching May become bearable to watch. He has improved noticeably and I really hope he continues. -
thats what I get for relying on memory.... you are right, which diminishes the comparative value of wins as a metric for pitchers even further. In this instance 2014 Hughes isn't even as good as 2010 Pavano.
-
16-10, eh Carl Pavano went 16-11 in 2011. Pretty much the same. Certainly nothing impressive like 186 strikeouts to 13 walks in 209.2 innings

I like your optimism

even the early sixties Gary had been a dump for a long time

skip the chocolate chips? But seriously I like the ones with coconut in them

I don't think of Colitas as a warm smell, so much as hot and acrid smelling, but it does make me sleepy Now cookies baking in the oven on a winter day, that's a warm smell

Come on Pinto!

a really crappy oasis with bars on the windows and gunshots all the time

true, but Chicago traffic starts in Wisconsin and ends in Indiana.

but you put yourself in terrible danger, especially walking in Gary

Pinto is playing! Hooray!

true, but management sets the expectations and makes examples of those who don't abide. Peers may have a greater influence, but management holds the authority and needs to wield it justly, but firmly. If it's the peers that have influenced Hicks so, which of the crafty veterans gave Hicks such an impression that it's ok to behave the way he has. By all accounts Mauer and Willingham are first in, last out. I don't really know how much sway peers have in the work ethic regard. Most people don't learn it at their first job, or from their peers, it's instilled from their parents as small children and part of their nature before that. I still come back to management. How can it be that at this point, someone from the management group hasn't sat Hicks down and said "here's the expectations, now don't screw up, you are on thin ice and if you do, you will ruin your own career"
