Eric Milton, remember him? The AP is reporting that he is set to rejoin the Yankees after working out at the team’s minor league complex. The 33 year-old lefty had Tommy John surgery in June of last year. He’s said to be six weeks away from pitching in games, and the Yankees have 2009 in mind as well.

Is Lee's fastball really so active that Rays hitters can't touch it?

Also, the Rays announcers keep saying that it looks quicker than usual. It doesn’t look like they’re getting beat by it’s speed, it looks like they’re just swinging over it.

I swear, they all swing like they’ve never seen a lefty pitch. They’re swinging through strikes – except for Crawful who swings at anything like he’s carrying Delmon’s torch or something.

Your logic says that a blow up would have no effect on the team

If that is the case then why not try it since there is nothing to lose?

by matthan on Jul 11, 2008 8:08 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

So what does that have to do with this?

You assume every situation is the same. Every situation is different and needs to be treated equally. You assume that life is purely statistical. If we had a million different scenarios where a blow up occurred then perhaps you’d have a point. But we don’t. We have ONE. Whatever research you did is totally irrelevant to this singular case. You of all people should know that.

Teams won in 44% of the games their managers were ejected last season, which is less than expected

And from what I recall, I don’t have the runs numbers on my sheet, there wasn’t any improved offense effort.

by R.J. Anderson on Jul 11, 2008 8:11 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

But did you do on a study on these players and how they react to ejections?

No.

Was there a case where teams played better after an ejection? Surely there were, so how do you know these players will not react favorably?

Point being is you have no information on these players, this sort of slump, their personalities, and this manager.

by matthan on Jul 11, 2008 8:13 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

The affects are marginal at best.

You’re speaking out of your ass if you assume a little blow up will make this team score 6 runs a game.

by R.J. Anderson on Jul 11, 2008 8:14 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

When did I assume that?

We suck right now. What is the worst that can happen if getting yelled at doesn’t change the mindset of some of the players? We suck even worse? What is worse than zero runs per game? Last time I checked you can’t score in the negative. At best some of the players will react favorably to being yelled at.

It isn't about desire to hit

It is about your mindset, your attitude, and a bunch of other variables. You are basically saying results are based on skill and desire to hit solely. When then why do batters go into slumps? When they slump do they not want to hit the more as much as they did in previous games? Clearly there are other factors at work then just “wanting to hit the ball”

by matthan on Jul 11, 2008 8:18 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

So?

They can make contact less. They can hit the ball less hard and less on the meat part of the stick.

But that wasn’t the point. I wasn’t arguing that “waking” the players up will make their BABIP go up by pure luck. My point was that if there was a way to make the players focus a bit more at the task at hand, make them a bit more hungry, a bit more aggressive and just overall change of mindset then perhaps they will hit the ball harder, hit the ball more often, swing at better pitches etc.

by matthan on Jul 11, 2008 8:24 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

There is just no way you can argue that hitting is purely skill and desire

If you take two players will equal skill and equal desire to hit but have different levels of aggression then you are surely going to get different results. That is just one variable and there are tons more.

by matthan on Jul 11, 2008 8:25 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

A “mix up” in managerial actions will make hitters hit the ball more?

It is basic risk/reward

There is no risk. And there is quite a bit of reward. Even if there is only a 1 percent chance of the reward doesn’t it make sense to try to get it? It is like a free lotto ticket. Might as well see if its a winner.

Well, it's obviously appearant

that this team gave it all it had in the Boston and KC series and has decided that they’d like to pack it in for the all-star break early.

Bad luck maybe

but it just seems like everyone is going through the motions.

a hit, maybe something can be done with it

One of the worse bullpens in the league...
