This sucks, and everybody's gonna shit on Sonny (rightfully so),
but this is not a good Sonny game. He’s still a good pitcher, but he’s made some bad pitch selections.
I don't understand going to a curve against Johnson when it's right over the middle at all.
by R.J. Anderson on Apr 21, 2009 11:21 PM EDT up reply actions

I don't exactly understand the problem.
Are we not supposed to react as fans? I’m all for intelligent baseball conversation, but doesn’t that take place after the games anyway?
Apparently we aren't true fans because there's OT stuff in the GDTs.
I don’t have an issue with it, obviously, because it’s pretty easy to skip over.

Ah, ok.
I thought you were bitching about it for a minute.
I mean to me, it’s like we’re at a bar. There’s gonna be off-topic shit, there’s gonna be rash statements, there’s gonna be some intelligent debate sprinkled in, but it’s mostly about fun.
You may not be, but as far as a GDT goes that's the majority of the talk. Why bother?
It’s partly your site, so in away you are.
Because I'm not going to mod over every aspect of the GDT.
In case you hadn’t noticed, I actually write a shit load of smart baseball analysis. That’s why people come here.
by R.J. Anderson on Apr 21, 2009 11:49 PM EDT up reply actions
I like your Blog, It's one of the better ones I read.
But this is a cluster fuck of a GDT. And to the extent you impose your “opinions” on the other board, and the lack of quality post here, with some semblance of reason, or even relevance, is ridiculous.
I'm not going to waste my time overmodding GDTs.

I got into verbal arguements at games with people.

OT GDT Question
How much does Contact Rates predict AVG in the majors? And then the second part of the question is could you use small contact rate sample sizes to predict AVG over the course of a season, or does contact rate fluctuate too much?
Guys, stop complaining about the Rays losing. Small Sample Size

If you can get a hitless inning, it would be appreciated
2010 Rotation: 1. Shields 2. Kazmir 3. Garza 4. Price 5. Davis with Hellickson knocking on the door, it keeps getting better and better
I have an honest question
If we took Sonnanstine out after 5 ip 2 er against the Yankees why is he staying in with 5 ip 4 er here
www.raysprospects.com
because you predicted he would be
that has to be why

Once upon a time...
in a place far,far,away. there lived a man called gabe kapler…
"Yeah, I am not the old annoying guy next door. Heck, I don't even know who i am"
who the hell is that
And what did he do with Kapler?
I really thought he would try for 3 and be thrown out

Good news
Mariners Bullpen is probably worse than ours.
Our bullpen isn't really that bad.
And they do walk a ton of people.

So is the Yankees
Anyway, the M’s are building the super pen with Morrow and Aumont!

I get it that he's never gonna be a walk machine...
But, how does his pitch recognition not improve over 7 years?
Remember when he was supposed to develope power too?
He kinda is what he is
by Top Gun Numba 1 on Apr 22, 2009 12:01 AM EDT up reply actions
Unfortunately, he may have peaked earlier than usual.
by R.J. Anderson on Apr 22, 2009 12:01 AM EDT up reply actions
Does that normally happen with players called up at an early age?
Or regardless of timetable, Carl just wasn’t going to develop those skills?
I've never really seen a study on it by call-up date.
It’s more about age. 27-29 usually.
by R.J. Anderson on Apr 22, 2009 12:03 AM EDT up reply actions
Right.. obviously it's early,
but I was hoping this might be his career year, he’s in his age 28 season after all.
I was just wondering if his minimal time in the minors negatively affected his development.
Not sure I can really answer that question with anything but speculation.
The old regime didn’t put an emphasis on plate discipline though, and it shows.
by R.J. Anderson on Apr 22, 2009 12:05 AM EDT up reply actions
Most players who get called up at ages 19-21 are really freaking good already.
So there’s a selection bias at play.
by R.J. Anderson on Apr 22, 2009 12:07 AM EDT up reply actions
and it's not like Carl was bad when he came up.
I guess it’d just be looking to see if their skills stopped developing in their mid 20s.
Cameron had a post on pre-20 (maybe 21?) year olds a while back.
Mostly all of them had useful long careers.

My fantasies about trading him when everyone else overrated him are slowly slipping away.

sample size
He still has his moments, and doesn’t he usually get off to a slow start?
Not talking about this year as much as the past few. He used to be a 4+ win player.
by R.J. Anderson on Apr 22, 2009 12:04 AM EDT up reply actions
sure
And without doing any research to check, last year was a down year for him in a lot of ways, plus injury. Same could be said of him the year before to some extent.
Which is why it's a bit concerning.
I’m not writing him off as past his peak yet, but I’m not sure he’s ever going to be a 5+ win player.
