It might be a little early for Rangers fans or AL West fans but does anyone have any idea what Ryan Rua's ethnicity is? I've never heard a name like that.
For what it's worth, he's from Ohio and I can't find his parents' names.

I don't fucking understand how I can be blacked out of a game being played 2,000 miles away. I thought the point was to encourage people to go to the games, but the game is being played in Chicago, and I'm in SD. Plus I don't even know what station the >Dads are broadcast on, I don't think it's regular cable. Thank God they only play the cubs 6 times a year.

jays have good starting pitching, a big surprise, but I bet it will be horrible if and when the offense gets going. osuna is a GOAT closer but rest of the bullpen is iffy
>>67507897
Yeah I don't think it's fair to expect the rotation to keep up the pace they're on. I think coming into today they had the best starting era in the AL. But it'll even itself out if the offense can hover back around the 5 runs per game average.
>>67508156
the offense is so bad right now its unbelievable. they've scored more than 5 runs like 5 times all season

although anybody who believes the jays would ever have signed price are retarded. jays cant afford it relative to their team salary, only big spenders can afford to take a big risk like that
>>67508214
Sorry but even the Astros lost to the Rangers by giving up 7 runs in the 8th.
>>67508266
No one saw this coming bandwagon fan or not. He's been surprisingly good though I can't really explain it. He's been the jays best pitcher this year.
>>67508353
>can't explain it
Ray Searage is the best pitching coach in the game. Looks like whatever he did for Happ stuck.
On base percentage and slugging percentage should be listed before batting average. Batting average coming first makes people think it actually matters
>>67508451
>not just using wOBA and only wOBA
>>67508451
>Batting average doesn't matter
>>67508419
The only notable difference I can pick up on by watching him in game is his confidence. He's not so timid like he used to be. He actually throws strikes now. Before he would get himself into trouble by falling behind hitters or walking them.
>>67508497
It literally doesn't though. A walk and a single both get you on base. It's cool to keep track of and should be kept track of but it doesn't show you a player's value like OBP does. For example, you could be a .250 hitter with a .370 OBP batting leadoff, and at first glance people would think that's worse than a leadoff hitter who bats .275 with a .330 OBP just because of how the stats are listed
>>67508772
>i watched moneyball one time
>>67508772
>>67508810
>not using wOBA and only wOBA
>>67508772
OBP and Avg are both pretty important. Idk why you'd value one over the other.
>>67508772
average is important because you actually need to hit the fucking ball to drive in runs. taking a walk with a man on second and two outs is objectively worse than a base hit. obviously its not an end all be all stat, but it should still be used alongside OBP and other shit
>>67508772
Sure, I'll forgive my leadoff guy for having a .150 batting average if he's putting up a .375+ OBP. But I want the people in the heart of the order to put the ball in play so they can drive runners home. Constantly drawing walks doesn't accomplish this.
tl;dr
A hit has infinitely more value than a walk with runners on base.
>>67508810
I've played baseball my whole life and have been pretty autistic about stats and baseball my whole life. I remember my dad telling me that OBP is actually more important when I was about 10 years old or so. It's pretty simple and clear to see because
>>67508838
Getting on base is the point of the game, it doesn't matter how you do it. Batting average can show you that they can potentially have more extra base hits then another player, but at that point you should just use slugging percentage which measures that
>>67508826
What's that
>>67508995
wOBA is great. It uses linear weights for each outcome. It's where wRC+ comes from
http://www.fangraphs.com/library/offense/woba/
>>67508846
>>67508931
>What is slugging percentage
K, maybe I screwed up when I said that batting average doesn't matter, it does, but I think it's less important than OBP and slugging percentage.
OBP for leadoff hitters/fast non power hitters, slugging percentage for power hitters (it's also good for everybody because it shows how often they hit doubles/triples as well)
>>67509101
Looking at only slugging percentage is dumb as well. Someone with a .150 Batting average but a .400 Slugging percentage tells me that they rarely hit the ball, but when they do it goes for extra bases. Someone with a .350 batting average and a .400 slugging percentage shows me that they hit the ball a lot, but rarely get extra bases.
Batting average is the base for both slugging and OBP, to say that it isn't as important of a stat to see how good a hitter is for certain situations is just dumb.

The only reason Cain and Peavy looked good was because the jays offense is fucking abysmal. I hope you're ready for madbum to hit career highs in strikeouts and possibly a no hitter.
I was just randomly wondering this today: you know how baseball announcers will occasionally have some random person from some random organization up in the booth with them talking about what their stupid organization does? Has there ever been an instance where while the interview is going on, the announcer's team is being btfo, but the announcers have to keep talking and pretend like the anal annihilation isn't going on because of the stupid guest? I really want to see something like that.
>>67509429
I don't know, but it's very frustrating
Hopefully they'll hit tonight, but it sucks we couldn't take advantage of some good starts from the back end of our rotation

>>67511785
Because they cheat and no one likes cheaters. Have it happen to NE fags for once and watch how they'll bitch. Like that panthers/Patriots game a couple years back
>>67511785
Because the fanbase used to be pretty humble for the most part, now they're just a bunch of obnoxious pricks. The bandwagon it pulls doesn't help either. I've visited the northeast quite a few times. The people are generally pretty nice and laid back, every city I've been to is clean and there is plenty to see and do. It's only when you bring up sports that you watch these people tap into some animalistic unused part of the human brain (the lizard brain, if you will) and start spewing bullshit about NE and The Red Sox being the greatest sports franchises of all time and New York should be sunk into the ocean and the Celtics were the greatest dynasty the NBA has seen or will ever see, and Ray Borque was the goat with the Bruins, etc.

Yeah that's the same in all leagues. Probably negotiated by the union to prevent "unjust" suspensions.
Even the obviously guilty ones appeal and keep playing. A Roid for example.
>>67512410

And what would the point of an appeal be if you've already had your punishment?

Yeah it's probably more for showing up the ump than anything else, but did the guy cross home yet?
Yes that's weak shit, but maybe?
>>67512514
>Why would you want to discourage an appeal?
Because the goal is to enforce punishment?
And I think the whole thing about it is to exhibit how ridiculous it is to appeal, for example, a 1-game suspension. Serve the 1 game and get it over with. Preventing you from playing during an appeal would force players who get tiny 1 or 2 game suspensions from needlessly appealing.
This is all my fault for >ragsing yesterday after that 5 walk inning
I'll never mess with karma again
>>67512572
>Because the goal is to enforce punishment?
And the goal of an appeal is to keep the leagues power over the players in check. What's the difference if the one game suspension is tomorrow or has to wait a week on appeal. Or do you hold some delusion that the league is infallible?
fuck this team sucks

Never. The gambling undertones would permanently taint the reputation of any team, and Vegas is a city populated at any given time by a huge majority of tourists. Their stadiums would be 70-90% visiting fans every single game, and if they ever succeeded, their own fanbase would be miniscule and the so would the money to be made off them.

It's not even about bandwagoning in Vegas. Almost everyone who actually lives there is employed by the casino/hospitality industry or other industries set up to service those people.

It's on wiki.
A's were going bankrupt, team was hot shit (like now), fans weren't attending, and Phillies went balls out in the '50 WS and surpassed the A's for favorite team in Philadelphia.
What's up with the Pirates and Reds hitting each other?
Doubles for mets o's eries

USA Today's 83-79 and 3rd
SI have them 81-81 and third
