Kazmir pitched fairly well, Our bullpen didn't give up any runs, and our offense(Surprise) was clutch. It always seems when a team tries to gift wrap one, we take advantage.
Random Musings:
- Post ASB Barty Watch: .302/.324/.427
- Post ASB Pena Watch: .259/.363/.538
- Post ASB Floyd Watch: .250/.352/.467
- ^Those three things please me
- Kazmir's gearing up for a September breakout
- Balfour gets a bunch of K's
- T-Minus 9 days until Longlorious.

any day where the red sox get shut out and give up 11 runs to the blue jays is a good day
especially when it wasnt even our boy Halladay pitching
Nathan Haynes homers (2) on a fly ball to right field.

I'd love to see some stats on the Rays and Relief Pitchers
Like, runs off RPs opposed to runs off SPs. I bet we get more off RPs.
You will never get this ... lalalala
then one day he break cage and he get this.

so far, with 1 game remaining
Our toughest week of the season, 3 vs the Angels and then 3 in Chicago…..we are 4-1
I see the Crash Davis school of journalism has affected this site
And I like it a lot

WPA is all based on historical data based on situations of games over the last 30 years, I believe.

stp that chart looks like a fun roller coaster
Longo=ROY. Friedman=Executive of the year. Maddon=Manager of the year. Gabe Gross= clutch.
"WPA is all based on historical data based on situations of games over the last 30 years, I believe"
"STP is me. He can do everything I can do." - R.J. Anderson
so the WPA just looks at the results and if little leaguers were brought in, the percentage wouldn't change.
9 = 8

Basically the idea is that if a pitcher comes in with two runners on and 2 outs with a one run lead in the top of the 7th, the home team may have say a 78% chance of winning.
He has this chance because over the last 30 years, teams with a 1 run lead with two runners on and two outs in the top of the 7th win 78% of the time. Now let’s say the pitcher allows a 3 run bomb. They’re now down by 2, 2 outs, bottom of the 7th. So let’s just say historically in this situation, the home team wins 38% of the time. So that pitcher contributed -40% to his team’s WPA. It doesn’t matter who the pitcher is, it just looks at situations and how often they’ve happened in the past 30 years and uses the that huge sample to create a sort of probability for each situation. Has nothing to do with the players on the field, just uses historical situations to create a probability for current situations.

only complaint
leave Floyd in to hit v Thonton., he hadn’t retired a batter
By that logic/perspective
Neither was Longoria
Good thing the Rays don’t have a front office full of people who over-react on the basis of 25 at-bats, or 13 IP.

How'd Kaz look today?
I saw he went 6 today, which is pretty sweet considering.
I totally spaced and forgot the game was at 4, not 7.
If you want results, press the red button. The rest are useless.
Gave up two Homers to Dye
6 innings 3 runs … 4 innings of no hit ball. 3 earned runs High pitch count typical Kaz start … no decision. Balfour got the win. Adequate start from Kaz.

The bigger concern is they draw nearly the same amount of fans as the rays do
But Price will be fine
Nearly the same = 1/2 as many?
They drew roughly 11k last night…on a weekend…which is about 1/2 of the Rays average attendance…And their most expensive ticket is cheaper than the Rays least expensive…And they have one of the most popular baseball movies of all time to help them market their team…and they don’t have 3 other minor league teams within 30 miles.

what's your guess on attendance
for the Jays series?
I’m guessing>55K
