Too Much Craziness For One Post
So I’ll just throw this up there and let you guys post your reactions about the game as a whole in the comments. We’ll have more tomorrow, but for now:
Mike Napoli vs LHP, career: .294/.400/.555
Mike Napoli vs RHP, career: .253/.343/.498
Mark Rzepczynski vs LHB, career: .205/.289/.284
Mark Rzepczynski vs RHB, career: .266/.357/.427
LI of Napoli vs Rzepczynski: 4.13
I just have no idea how you can let that match-up happen.
Dave is the Managing Editor of FanGraphs.
McCarver made the point of saying Rzepczynski struck out the 3 righties he’s faced so far in this series, but I am in complete agreement with Dave.
hope i dont need to point out the flaw in the genius McCarver’s argument…
hmm… does it rhyme with “ample thighs” and “trample prize”?
you just don’t understand the MLE
love me some exponential distribution
Flaws. Besides SSS, those three righties were Torrealba, Gentry, and German – I can’t think of anything they have in common with Napoli besides handedness.
j walter – there you go underestimating handsomeness. typical moneyball guy. smh. that particular variable is really hard to quantify and best left to the McCarvers and TLRs of the world.
yikes, j walter said “handedness” and not “handsomeness.” Complete reading comprehension fail on my part. sorry, all, and thanks for not nailing my arse to the wall over it.
whats crazy is dave cameron still thinks missing delmon young is no problem for the tigers.
