Admittedly, Frankman is the ultimate quantity over quality poster on MLB GAF.

Hmm, mm-hmm.
 
*sigh* 5 walks. bases loaded and 1 out. I'm telling you even though Pelfrey is brutal at times this is not a coincidence, Paulino seemingly makes him pitch better.

The rare combo of quantity AND quality. Don't you ever forget it.

Mike Pelfrey, go die. IN A FIRE. Ahead 0-2, goes 3-2, allows a double then doesn't back up 3rd. Ass.
 
Oh wow Ndamukong Suh at the game. Good friends with Boesch, wants the fans to embrace the Tigers and the Lions. Nice plug to get Alex Avila in the ASG, too.

EDIT: Did Ron Darling call him "well-spoken"? WHAT THE FUCK YOU THINK HE SOUNDED LIKE, BITCH?

Thank You, Yankees. 2 games back with little more than a week to go before the All-Star Break? I can work with that.

Looking at the second half of June, the Brewers are in a better position that I could ever have imagined. Cannot wait to get the Reds in Milwaukee!!
 
Oh man. Dave Cameron suggests the M's being open to trading Pineda. He heavily suggests working something out with the Reds .... what say you Vas!?

At first I was agree, but now I pretty much agree. We have 5 quality starters currently .... we have several pitching prospects in the minors throughout Taijuan Walker, James Paxton, Danny Hultzen eventually ....

We could probably get some decent bats for Pineda.
 
If the Mariners were actually open to trading Pineda in some fantasy world where they could get players of equal or greater value for him, they would still be incredibly dumb to do so. Pitching prospects are never guaranteed to pan out... hell, even veteran pitchers with years of experience can blow their arms out unexpectedly. You can use this as an argument that you should always trade great young pitchers for bats, sure, but you can also use this as an argument that you should hang on to great pitchers if manage to get them--they tend to be much harder to replace than good bats. But by far the biggest clue that this is a terrible idea is that Dave Cameron is suggesting it.

Pineda has had arm problems in the past .... the Mark Prior .... Rich Harden .... factor scares me.

Cameron suggests looking at Todd Frazier .... Yonder Alonso .... etc.

You don't understand how bad we lack position player depth in the M's minors .... no 3B at all really.

Don't get me wrong ... I don't want to trade Pineda ... but god DAMN the Mariner offense is bad.

With how the Beard's been pitching lately, I was waiting for when he'd finally give up a HR.

Let's see if they can hold on to this lead again.
 
Phillies lost
Mets lost
Giants lost
Brewers lost

now the cardinals need to lose and it will be a perfect off day.

I'm not exactly sure how to read this. Is D1, D2, or D3 the expected wins we should be looking at?

Columns left to right:

Actual Win %: The team's actual record YTD.
1st Order Win %: Takes a team's Runs Scored and Runs Allowed YTD and applies a Pythagorean win expectancy matrix to those numbers to determine how many wins that team should have based solely on their run differential.
2nd Order Win %: Similar to 1st Order, except instead of RS and RA, it uses Equivalent Runs Scored, which is designed to account for random variation in run differentials by putting the team's peripheral stats through a run expectancy matrix.
3rd Order Win %: Same as 2nd Order, except it adjusts the expected runs scored/allowed for strength of schedule, and gives you an expected winning % that is supposed to be the most luck neutral.
D1: The win differential between Actual and 1st Order
D2: The win differential between Actual and 2nd Order
D3: The win differential between Actual and 3rd Order

So for example, looking under D3, the Pirates have won 6.4 more games than their expected 3rd Order wins.
 
Considering how many players we've used. a couple days ago we were tied for most players used so far with Dodgers. Both used like 42 iirc and how are pitchers are pitching way above what they have in there careers. This season is really weird to me.
 
I fucked up guys... middle of the 7th and sox keep fucking up. I turn the game off so I can nap and wake up only to to find they won in extras.

I'm sorry, dammit.
 
I want this.

Anybody want to try to convince me to get Premium? I'd be using it mostly for replays of Nationals games, but an easy proxy method would be nice.

I know the price should go down July 1, but any other tips would be appreciated. I already have Milb.tv.
