"Hey.....Cubs win!!!" ---Harry
"Swung on belted!!!"---Chip

which is what I asked for.

You asked him not to hit a ground ball.

He hit a grounder up the middle. I fail to understand your thinking here.

It was NOT a ground ball.

If you dont believe come over and Ill rewind the DVR for you.

"Hey.....Cubs win!!!" ---Harry
"Swung on belted!!!"---Chip

by Hammer on Sep 7, 2008 1:13 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I have my own DVR.

Me and the Gameday scorer both consider it a ground ball. If you disagree, well, that’s your prerogative.

BS

It was a line drive up the middle.

That's what

I thought it was too… a line drive.

by sue369 on Sep 7, 2008 1:16 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I don't want to argue the issue since I'm using MLB-TV

…but IIRC it was a line drive that hit the ground somewhere in the area around 2nd base and then bounced around towards CF. Maybe I’m wrong. But that brings up a question: what is a line drive and a grounder officially? I mean a line drive can be hit and its first bounce is around 2nd base—is that technically a ground ball or a line drive…? Must it clear the IF before it is classified as a “liner”?

by zevkalman on Sep 7, 2008 1:21 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

There is no official definition.

This is why you’ll get the same play scored differently by Elias, STATS and BIS.

That said...

…the Project Scoresheet definition of a ground ball is a ball that touches the ground before hitting the outfield grass. The WGN camera angle didn’t show where the ball landed – I think it hit the ground in the dirt before it rolled out, based upon where it was headed, and that seems to be what the GameDay scorer thought as well.

Paging my friendly neighborhood SABRmetrician...

Is there any place that lists average BA, OPS, SLG, OPS, etc. by position? Where does DLee rank OPS-wise among 1B?

Lee is #13 in qualified MLB 1B in OPS @ .831. Pujols is first at 1.114.

Hardball is good, but I use ESPN’s, too, actually. Depends on the day.

A DP is a DP is a DP.

It’s just that some DPs are more exciting than others…

Sean Marshall can be painful to watch at times...

That is what makes him my least favorite Cubs P.
