Dear Zack,

 

Please send any correspondence to the PO Box. Dad doesn't want anyone to know you're our son until you can hit at least .250. He says keep up the good glove work, but until you start to hit he'll still refer to you as Darrell Chaney.

 

Love,

 

Mom

 

 

Didn't say couldn't.

Dear mom,

 

Tell dad to watch hockey then. It's his fault I can't hit. His batting practice pitches couldn't find the plate with a GPS when I was 7 but I was trying to be a good boy and not complain mommy. I'm thankful you breast fed me til I was 8, it helped me have good hands. Again, send me that bat, the red one that is really fat and has Fred Flintstone's face on the side.

 

Love,

Your little ZackyWacky

Okay, took your formula and had a little fun with it. (It's not going to be exact, because it doesn't reflect the times batters reached due to an error, or may have scored a run as a pinch runner, but...)

 

Billy Hamilton (2014)

Runs = 9

# of times on base (hits+bb+hbp) = 21

OBP = .266

Gives him a score of .114

 

By comparison, I used the career stats for Rickey Henderson

Runs = 2,295

# of times on base = 5,343

OBP = .401

Gives him a score of .172

 

What's interesting there, is that both of them are very, very close (.429 to .430) in comparing the number of runs they score per times on base. Where Rickey pulled ahead, was the fact his OBP is much, much, much higher.

 

And, just for giggles, I used Choo's stats from last year with the Reds...

Runs = 107

# of times on base = 300

OBP = .423

Gives him a score of .151

 

Which means, statistically speaking (using UKMF's formula)...Choo was better at scoring runs than Hamilton currently is.

 

As he should be making 25 billion dollars :lol2:

Just got tickets to next Fridays game.

 

 

Then looked at the weather. High of 49. :irked:

I actually love going when it's cold.

 

You can borrow my snowsuit if you want.

Can I have your brothers too? I need one for my wife.

Sure :lol2::lol2:

I am really getting tired of watching Brandon Phillips. At bats are terrible, only 4 RBI,s, and now his fielding is suffering. missed easy grounders, like today, and many throws in the dirt to Votto. I can see why the front office wanted to get rid of him. I was in his corner but I am starting to leave the corner.

Everyday Heisey doin' WORK.

Cingrani could be so dominant if he could keep his pitch count under control.

GIDP. Callin' it.

 

If they had not started Votto, you would have had it!!!!! :thumb:

Thankfully Price had Votto moving on the pitch....It's absolutely automatic with Phillips up.
