I'd say that sums it up.

I'd even go a step farther. If you want to base your offensive philosophy around small ball you need a consistently GREAT staff because you're just flat out not going to score a lot of runs.

I'd argue that as a coach you need to realize the team you have and play to its strengths. Like having confidence in your hitters to get the runs in without giving themselves up whenever the chance presents itself. I think they've earned that confidence far more than our pitching staff has...

I feel like we need to get hypnotist on staff, put Jake Lee in the weekend rotation, and then hypnotize him so that he believes he's coming out of the bullpen. Boom. Solved some of our pitching woes.

Oh cool this is awesome! I had no idea that someone actually did the work to figure a matrix for the NCAA. Thanks!

What expected run tables are you referring to? I can't seem to find your link. You have to be careful applying those to college baseball because as far as I know they are all made with MLB data. They don't necessarily translate to NCAA. That being said we bunt way too much and it's...

Hey guys I found some of our season highlights in gif form:

So what you're saying here is that you do agree that he's a Muslim. Glad we cleared that up. (And because this has to be said thanks to the internet and before anyone gets triggered: this is a joke.)

Padres are going to be teeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiibbbblllllllllle.

And the idea of a Kenyan born Muslim being President too. :p

Are you saying they have an agenda then? I'm sorry I'm just trying to nail down by what you mean by statements like "you can see from the data they are ignoring right in front of them" and "it colors everything they do." It comes off as very accusatory to me. It doesn't support or contradict...

Nope. Not what I'm suggesting.

It's not that what you're saying contradicts their conclusion. It's that what you're saying doesn't have anything to do with their conclusion. And to be clear, are you accusing the authors of having some kind of agenda here to the point they are basically committed academic fraud and...

Right, I'm aware of the "dead arm" you guys are talking about. But only from you guys. I follow the MLB draft pretty obsessively. It's one of my favorite sports events of the year. It's weird, I know. But there was little to no draft buzz about him at any point before his draft year. And no...

You're definitely right about Hughes but I don't think that's the case with English. Do you have a source on that? Not being drafted early isn't necessarily indication of that. There are plenty of guys who would be high draft picks come to college simply because they want to. Just off the...

I'm not saying double plays per game itself is noise. What I'm saying is that there is too much noise in the statistic itself to make any definitive statements about the team's defense. You would need to compare batted ball and fielder positioning data as well or you're painting an incomplete...

I say it every year but I'll never understand Danny Hall's obsession with the sacrifice bunt. You have a guy slashing .360/.410/.540. Let him swing the bat. Don't play for one run in the first damn inning.

Or we haven't been getting the type of balls in play that lead to double plays. Looking at how many DP's you get as a barometer of defensive performance is a bad move. There's too much noise in the data.

So you read the study? Specifically the last two sentences of the introduction: And then are using its statements and data to judge whether sex reassignment surgery is an effective treatment? When it was not designed for that purpose and explicitly stated as such? You don't see the issue...

It's definitely a little different than usual. I think probably it ends up looking more familiar by the end. I'm guessing UVA, Miami, and (hopefully) GT will bubble up over the next coming weeks while Pitt and VT drop. The former three had front-loaded conference schedules. The other two...
