I'm impressed Blanco only is a -.3

And Wright should increase as the season progresses.

Good info

Although I’m assuming anything from -.5 to +.5 isn’t statistically significant enough to make a difference

Also, what time period does this cover? Even though it was great throwing rather than poor basestealing, I’m guessing the 2 CS against the Yanks will cut Angel’s numbers down a bit. It’s too bad this stat can’t account for great jumps cut down by great throws, or poor jumps made up for by poor throws/pitcher inattention (like Blanco’s SB).

The time period

is from the beginning of the season up until June 13th.

I think its safe to say that Chip Hale is a better third base coach than Razor "Third Base Coach of Life" Shines

Gas prices today are a lot like a pitcher's ERA. Anything under 3 is amazing, under 4 is pretty good and anything 5 and up is something you want to avoid.

Bring back GMJ

John Olerud, Hall of Famer. Got a nice ring to it.

Niese is a better runner than Mike JaKobs

remind me why he was in the majors again?

He was in the majors

so he we could thank Omar for DFA-ing him.

Blanco seems to be a really smart runner, just really slow

He seems to go 1st to 3rd whenever he can. He reads bloop hits well, and he gets the most out of his “speed.” I’m not surprised that he’s only a little below average.

by GoReyesGo on Jun 22, 2010 12:19 AM EDT reply actions  

Seems like a little too much negative weight is put on the caught stealing

Wright is 12 for 17. It’s not great, but it’s not bad, either. And about 2 of those were on hit and runs where the batter swung and missed. If he goes 4 for his next 4 he’s almost at 80 percent, which is very acceptable.

by David G on Jun 22, 2010 2:46 PM EDT reply actions  

Anything under 75% is bad

A caught stealing takes away a base runner and you lose one of you’re three outs for the inning. It’s far worse than a stolen base is positive.

by Evan_S on Jun 22, 2010 3:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

yeah

and I feel like there’s also been quite a few times where he’s made outs trying to advance on poor decisions.

I wonder if Carl Everett believes Jamie Moyer exists.

At 5:30 PM EDT today Starting today at 5:00 PM EDT, witness one of the greatest renderings of visual sound effects ever!

UPDATE 1: My browser has crashed several times in the process from all the rants (FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!) - as a result, there will instead be 4 or 5 separate installments of fxcarden's Nightly Rants! from 2011, with a similar pattern for the 2012 rants. Take my word for it, when I say that it's for the best. Here's the revised schedule:

Volume 1: 2011
No. 1: Today at 5:00 PM EDT
No. 2: Tomorrow
No. 3: Thursday
No. 4 and No. 5 (?) TBD

UPDATE 2: Vol. I, No. 1 (July, 2011) is now up!

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST

Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
Jon Rauch is awesome. Dan Tanna is, obviously, a fan of Greg Pomes.
