  1. @yagottagotomo I liked the Rockies last year. All they were missing was Michael Cuddyer's clubhouse presence. @hangingsliders
  2. Wait, Bill Maher owns part of the #Mets? Haven't those fans suffered enough?
  3. @hangingsliders @yagottagotomo Ya'll are gonna be SO pissed when my Twins vs. Rockies prediction comes true. #gardytime
  4. Also check bit.ly/NwQ4qu RT @jh_moore in many ways sabermetrics is (or tries to be) the economics of baseball businessweek.com/articles/2012-…
  5. 'cept for Melky 2012 RT @cwyers @JeffPassan @joe_sheehan And I don't think first 130 PAs or so tell us much about star capabilities.
  6. @CrashburnAlley It's still waaaaay too early to call the Howard contract a bust, right? #crashburn
  7. @CrashburnAlley Am I the the hardest person to listen to on podcasts ever, or is the sample still too small. #crashburn
  8. @CrashburnAlley why did I sleep all afternoon while the Royals played well? #crashburn
  9. @Ben_Duronio so what you're saying is that Jonathan Sanchez's best days are definitely ahead of him.
  10. @rustindodd Wow, Jason Heyward AND Will Smith? What a combo!
  11. Like I said, he will be a Royal at some point. RT @bkabak: Let's go Phil Hughes. I have faith in your allowing only 2 hr today.
  12. Are there guitar amp apps for Android like there are for iPhone? @joepawl or anyone else ?
  13. Look, Melky Cabrera has become a pretty good player. But people acting like he's now "really" a "superstar" is hilarious.
  14. @yagottagotomo aside: what caught my attention wasn't so much the thing about bunts, but the idea that .1 runs per PA isn't a big deal.
  15. @yagottagotomo sure, bunt analysis requires contextual considerations, but then you have to figure out how to weight those...
  16. @yagottagotomo Because the difference in true talent (excluding platoon considerations) is probably a lot less than .1 runs per PA.
  17. @yagottagotomo So if Girardi decided to pinch-hit Eduardo Nunez for Robinson Cano you wouldn't be upset?
  18. @yagottagotomo ...per plate appearance.
  19. @yagottagotomo Well, I don't know where that line is. But the difference between a .420 and a .300 wOBA hitter isn't quite .1 of a run.
  20. @yagottagotomo That is: huge relative to most individual baseball decisions.
