2013 MLB Regular Season running thread

If a guy has a great ERA and a bad record I can figure out what the deal is. Maybe a players batting average and RBI total don't tell me everything, but it tells me a lot. I'd rather watch games and see that a guy is hitting the ball, but his teammates aren't getting on base than do math homework to figure it out.

Here's my only issue with that argument:

Earned Run Average = 9 * ((RA - UER) / IP)

Total aside here, but just curious ... when doing ERAs for high school pitchers, do you multiply by 7 instead of 9?

I mean has anybody noticed how awful his posts are.

I mean, I just don't get how somebody keeps getting suspended and ridiculed, but never figures out he has a problem.

Correct.

And that LONG formula for a BASEBALL STAT is why I rest my case. Jeeeesus.

Could sabremeticians figure out a formula to quantify this?

Start keeping an eye on the frozen tundra of Target Field.

There's a reason for that. My advice to you - take a break of your own volition.

Never mind.

A thousand pardons if this was posted before, but saw it and thought it was mildly amusing. from Royals-Tigers the other day, Victor Martinez is out by a mile on a play at the plate and just sort of ... heads into the dugout. Catcher courtest, I suppose.
