3E8

It's definitely not the same ball.

Very bad. I have two big exams this week and a concert which takes away a night of studying. So basically I spent the weekend cramming.

Tommie killed him

QUOTE(Purdue129 @ Nov 6, 2005 -> 05:27 PM) As soon as he was shaken mentally, he'd start missing receivers all over the place. This is what frustrated me the most about him while at Purdue. It doesn't seem as bad for him this year, sans Cincinnati.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Nov 6, 2005 -> 04:46 PM) I know some people think Orton is a savior... but I personally cant wait till Grossman returns and will be pissed if he doesnt start when he is ready. Who thinks that?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Nov 6, 2005 -> 04:16 PM) f***ing pitiful start. Thank heads.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Nov 6, 2005 -> 01:56 PM) Did you read 3E8's chart at all? 16 more homers!!!!!! Then again, maybe someone like Christian Guzman would be a better fit...? But keep in mind some doubles and triples would be subtracted (and that my chart isn't very scientific). He wouldn't slug over .600 at the Cell. But that's something that's damn hard to do. Ortiz barely made it (.604) with 40 2B's and 47 HR's. I do think he would be a great fit here but it's probably a moot point since I don't really see us getting into a bidding war.

That was unreal. Thanks for posting! Were there dinosaurs in the original King Kong?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Nov 6, 2005 -> 03:05 AM) Haha, wow man, props to you for doing but yeesh to much time on your hands?. It's not too hard. I didn't actually put all those flyouts and hits on that chart, it came that way. Takes a couple minutes total with the wonder that is Microsoft Paint ©.

Just for fun, I layed U.S. Cellular's dimensions on top of Petco's dimensions with Giles 2B's, 3B's, and flyouts charted on top. I marked balls that would be a home run in the Cell with a yellow circle. I put 2 circles by the upper right-hand power alley because there are two flyouts superimposed on each other. It's kinda hard to see, but the Cell's wall is the dotted line. Looks like Giles would have had 16 more home runs (but about 10 less doubles and triples) if Petco had U.S. Cellular dimensions.

QUOTE(Brian @ Nov 5, 2005 -> 10:08 PM) Gordon makes 1 of 2. Jefferson to the hoop and scores and a foul on Tyson who just stands there with his arms straight up. 1.2 secs left and Tyson is gawn. OMG this was #2 on top ten plays. Looked to me as if Chandler did not even touch him.

Thanks for updates Brian.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Nov 5, 2005 -> 08:12 PM) Interesting that Giles home and away splits for HR's are pretty even. From 2002-2004, [the first two years in Pitt], Giles hit 28 Hr's in 800 ab's at home, while hitting 30 hr's in 846 ab's on the road. This last yr, he hit 6 hr's in 266 ab's at home. and 9 hr's in 279 ab's on the road. If Petco was the sole reason for his drop off, you'd expect a larger discrepancy. I think you are looking at it the wrong way. ~Road 30 HR / 846 AB = 0.035 HR/AB 9 HR / 279 AB = 0.032 HR/AB Those rates stayed relatively the same. About an 8% decrease. ~Home 28 HR / 800 AB = 0.035 HR/AB 6 HR / 266 AB = 0.023 HR/AB Now a 34% decrease. These results suggest Petco is the largest reason for any drop in home run rate.
