    I love that site, though the A's colors can only be looked at for so long.
  2. Edgy MD
    Not a tribute site, but Ron Hunt's personal page promoting his baseball academy. While looking for that, I struck upon this, which is so not for the fainthearted. A dated Pedro page.

    Great. *62 iss a '69er. I like the drone on the Grote music.
  4. Edgy MD
    I always had it at "HAW-shite." I want to see some Manny Alexander and Phil Mankowski sites now. At least a Harvey Haddix.
  5. Edgy MD
    I'll start: Vern Hoscheit, an incomplete site apparently put together by his son.

    The Warriors

    I remember little. The Orphans were described as something like "strictly low class." They weren't even invited to the summit.

    Konica Minolta pulls out.
  8. Edgy MD
    Well, it was a German production. I guess the surprise is that it got a chance among British and American distributor's and audiences.

    Top of my head: Mr. Roberts Das Boot Periscope Up/Down/Whatever Yellow Submarine Operation Petticoat That Soviet Sub Movie with Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson Crimson Tide That McConaghy/BonJovi movie. Abyss 20,000 Leagues Beneath the Sea Star Wars: Visting the Gunduns

    It's a fact known more intimately than that, as the missing generation there was Bret Sabermetric's academic mentor.

    More likely the highest grossing foreign language film. I imagine Like Water for Chocolate topped it first, though.

    Crash

    Edgy MD replied to Elster88's topic in Film Review Forum

    Yes, but many of those movies become all-time classics only with the passage of time and the perspective it lends. If one is to do this thing, he or she has to make snap judgements on films that have been recently been released, without the benefit of time, and the perspective it lends, to say nothing of the years of exposure to the winds of critical consensus (and the erosion of original thought that they lend).And if that means you risk over-reacting to a film you saw last night, and you're afraid you'll wake up years from now to find you gave a perfect or near perfect rating to the equivalent of Rocky III, too bad. A life well lived is a life of risk.

    Doesn't matter. 'Twas the wrong question.
  14. Edgy MD
    The Mets currently have five plus one starters.
  15. Edgy MD
    Actually, my concern here is the rotation, and number four should have read "Who, if anybody will be acquired and added to the rotation?"
  16. Edgy MD
    I follow the Zito scenario to the point where Diaz is sold as having the OBP numbers to open Beane's eyes. They're more or less OK, but not so good that a Beane and Macha would make up a position for him.
  17. Edgy MD
    Soler is not breaking camp in the rotation. There's my prediction.
  18. Edgy MD
    They're currently aligned as Martinez-Glavine-Benson-Seo-Trachsel (or Benson-Trachsel-Seo or Trachsel-Benson-Seo or Trachsel-Seo-Benson or Seo-Trachsel-Benson or Seo-Benson-Trachsel), with Zambrano and Heliman in the pen. I guess that's the most likely outcome, but with three months of trade possibilities ahead (to say nothing of toe complications), I don't think it's more likely to fall that way than not.
  19. Edgy MD
    They mets ended 2007 with seven big league starters, plus Aaron Heilman. Having shed Kazuhisa Ishii in December, they crossed over int 2006 with six remaining, plus Heilman Feel free to say what you would have the Mets do, but this thread asks what you 'spect they'll do. I'm assuming Pedro Martinez. I wanted to put it to a poll, but there are too many possiblities, including the real, but unlikely possibility that Trachsel or Glavine could be moved. So, taking for granted that the Mets will not open with any wildcard rookies in their rotation, with Benson-Glavine-Heilman-Martinez-Seo-Trachsel-Zambrano ready to go, tell me... 1) Who winds up in the rotation? 2) Who (among the remainders of the seven) winds up in the bullpen? 3) Who winds up being traded? 4) Who, if anybody will be acquired and added to the pen? This is a prediciton thread and will be archived as such. Good luck, Jim.

    Rock climbing is a good sport to take to when you live in a quarry.
  21. Edgy MD
    Why not?
  22. Edgy MD
    Well, it's more complicated because nobody I know lists an OPSA+, so you have to calculate it standardized to the league with park factors by youself. Believe me, I try to do this. Then, if you measure batters from an OPS+ of 60 (presumably the replacement level), do you measure pitchers in the opposite direction from an OPSA+ of 140?
  23. Edgy MD
    One complicated way to compare apples and oranges is to calculate a pitchers' OpS+ yielded, and use that, instead of ERA+. That not only allows you to better compare pitchers to batters, but clears up the records of pitchers (usually relievers) who have misleading ERAs by runs they're largely responsible for yielding counting against the ERA record of another, or runs they're largely responsible for saving embellishing the ERA record of another.
  24. Edgy MD
    Another problem with OPS+ and ERA+ is that he figures get distorted in the extremes. ERA+, in fact, moves toward infinity. A player with an ERA+ of 200+ might have gotten a 2.00 ERA in a league with a 4.00 ERA. A player with an OPS+ of 200 may have gotten a 1.500 OPS in a league with a .750 OPS. Assuming player A was a starting pitcher and player B a full-time batter, player B is a much much more productive guy.
  25. Edgy MD
    It's my big bugbear about the the use of bb-r.com stats. People with sub-100 OPS+'s or ERA+'s are referred to or treated as sub-average players. They aren't necessarily. That supposedly average performance is established at 100 by the best players getting the vast majority of plate appearances and innings pitched.
