Look up the sabermetric stat BABIP. The idea that you might be able to empirically measure that most ineffable of pixie dusts, luck, is what makes sabermetrics neato
lux lisbon, you are awesome
It's a pitcher's park, to be sure. Fucking huge, it is.
It's bizarre to me that teams have only started to value OBP in the last 10 years or so. It just seems like such an obviously valuable talent for a guy to have (getting on base, for chrissakes!)
Right you are, but the key objection of the traditionalists to sabermetrics is that stats like WAR don't necessarily correlate to more wins. The stat WAR actually stands for Wins Above Replacement and is meant to represent a player's individual contribution to the teams win/loss record….ie, how many more games will…
what everyone else said, and I'll add that the rays value defense heavily, and defense is hard to measure, though there are stats like UZR that do a decent job of it. They also seem to have a supernatural ability to get good pitchers, like scrapheap pickup Joel Peralta, who's been a solid workhorse for them this year…
Gotta love the fact that with the second lowest payroll in baseball (41 million), the Rays are challenging Boston for the wildcard slot in September (payroll 162 million).
I don't laugh out loud terribly often at tv shows or movies, but that scene had me weeping with laughter, like sides hurting type laughter, for several minutes straight. I hadn't laughed like that in quite a while, and it felt great. I should have to cut C.K. a check for that, it was like therapy
Straining for laughs is right. Like the bit where the old black guy says, "she's working harder than Stephen Hawking trying to put in a pair of cufflinks!" I don't know any 75 year old black men, but I bet they don't tend to talk like that.
goddamn, everyone's life is better than mine

Twas a good movie. I appreciated that it was short, and not padded with unnecessary subplots
I wish I had a screening room
I agree for the most part. It's impractical in every way. But I do think there is a sonic character to vinyl that has something unique to offer. I like old blues and jazz, and it's my favorite way to listen to that music.
didn't the Supreme Court make some kind of ruling about not being able to define hipster, but knowing it when they see it?
