Base runners are only good
if they score. If they remain standing on base like gulumkies then who needs them.

But the more baserunners you can get, the more likely it is that you will, in fact, score.
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
When building a ballclub, it's best to focus on guys that get on...
...and let the driving them in take care of itself. If you’re paying attention to hitting with runners on base, then you don’t have enough runners on base.
I'd agree
I don’t mind clogging the bases with runners as long as we unclogg them on occasion.

See I have no problem if nobody
gets a hit as long as they continue to walk, one after another after another, etc.

SBs are fine so long as you incorperate them into a value framework.
For my money RBIs are the most overrated offensive stat. Pitcher wins, ERA, WHIP… all pretty overrated.
How else would you measure a pitcher then?
Quality starts? Walks and hits seem pretty fundamental to me?
Evey Hammond: Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici. V: By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
Walks are fundamental, hits are not.
HIts are largely a function of the team’s defense, not the pitcher. Pitchers should be mainly judged upon their Three True Outcomes; walks, strikes, home runs. Everything else is mainly the responsiblity of the other eight guys on the field. (GB/FB rate and IFFB% are also noteworthy.)
i thought you said
a pitcher couldn’t control whether it was a fly or grounder, or something?
not trying to be difficult, just wondering

You can control whether it's a fly ball or a ground ball.
One isn’t necessarily better than the other – fly balls are more easily turned into outs, but you allow more extra base hits. It’s a subtle effect.
What you can’t do is control whether or not those balls are fielded for outs, at least not that much. And the line drive rate doesn’t seem to be within a pitcher’s control.
Largely? Really?
I’m not disagreeing with you, this is great info, but I guess I’ve never thought of it like that…

Over a pitcher's career, his Batting Average on Balls in Play...
...(essentially, hits allowed when he doesn’t get a True Outcome) will stabilize between .280 and .300. That’s true for almost everyone; some guys like Tim Wakefield are an exception, but Wakefield has a knuckler.
SB and BA tend to be overrated by the fans and baseball analysts
The best example for this fact: Juan Pierre!

So I put my time to productive use.
No, I didn’t work to stop world hunger, build housing for the needy, or volunteer in a senior center.
I voted on MLB.COM my maximum 25 times for the All-Star game, all for Cubs (I saw that Fukudome’s lead has shrunk to 33,000 votes).
Now that’s being a responsible citizen! ;-)

Technically, the win is recorded for June 30th.
I much prefer the official rules of baseball to any actual facts you might have to present.
night!

I’ve been in Santa Barbara for less than a week. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and assume you’re in Oakland…
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
Not quite
I’m a huge Raiders and A’s fan but I was born in Berwyn, IL, and one of my first memories was watching a game at Wrigley. The cubs are the only IL team I still cheer for as I was raised in the East Bay.
Every year, I don cubbie blue to AT&T. I absolutely hate the Giants, so the combo of tonight’s Cubs win, Giants loss, A’s win and Angels loss feels incredible tonight.
I’ve also been a long time lurker of this blog and decided to chime in tonight.

welcome. :-)
most of the threads aren’t quite as silly as this game, but yit gives you the general idea. :-)

If there's anything I'm into, it's wacky baseball threads (I do it all the time on athleticsnation)
I like it already :-)
I just wish I could I had WGN to catch more cubs games out west :-(
Green Hulk Fists
CRAP! Is everyone gone?
I just got home from AT&T/SBC/PacBell Park and was ready to get it on (TWSS..I know). Great win for the Cubbies! All I heard on the radio today was that this was the right time to catch the Cubs….how about the right group of AAA players for the Cubs to play! Here’s to beating up on Fresno for a few more days and gettin’ healthy in St. Louie. W.
Do you listen to KNBR?
Because a lot of it is total shit. As an A’s/Cubs fan from the bay area, I’m astounded by the level of homerism on that station when it comes to the Giants/Niners.
7/2 fireworks game is the one I’m going to.
Green Hulk Fists
Gah! How was the game in person?
These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance"
I'll be back for Wed. game as well.
KNBR works well for me because the Giants and 49ers are terrible and have been for a few years. It’s too bad the A’s don’t get their fair share. I went two Sundays ago vs. Fla. They are a fun group to watch.
It is far from impartial reporting
and they do little to call out the management of the Giants and Niners. It is always free season on the Raiders and little is said about the A’s.
I heard what you heard on the radio and was taken aback by the cavalier attitude the radio personalities had toward the cubs. Sure it was tough for the cubs to get swept, and sure the Giants did get momentum beating my A’s, but honestly—you’d think they assumed the cubs suddenly ran out of heavy lumber and quality pitching.
BTW Hagen, where do you hail from? Are you a visitor or a Bay Area resident?
Green Hulk Fists
Napa's home. Wine's pretty good up here but give me an Old Style or a Bud Light anytime.
IMO, all things comsidered, a limping Cub team still trumps what the Giants have to offer. I am damn glad interleague is over. AT&T was like Wrigley West tonight, especially after the emergency exit following DeRo’s granny. Awesome!

It's getting late.
Let’s hope the boys take care of business tomorrow and I can wave the W flag again on Wed. I’m out.
