chw42 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 James Shields is an absolute beast. He should be in the Cy Young conversation. Back to back CGs for him. His ERA is now down to 2.4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:46 PM) James Shields is an absolute beast. He should be in the Cy Young conversation. Back to back CGs for him. His ERA is now down to 2.4. And he will face some regression to the mean this year, just as he was supposed to face some last year. FGs did an article on Pujols during his terrible start, and this is something they absolutely failed to recognize, even after commenters made a point of it several times. Regression to the mean works both ways and it is certainly possible, and at times likely, that players will get hot for an extended period of time - above the mean - when they were below the mean normally. It's not regressing to the mean - which is expected - but to suggest that it is unexpected is also wrong. This works with and against Shields, and works with and against Adam Dunn. It's expected that Adam Dunn puts up his standard .250/.380/.520 in the second half. It's also entirely possible that he puts up .280/.420/.580 and then his final numbers will still end far below his career average. What part of that was expected and what part was unexpected?

It would be awesome if they could somehow win that division. I feel genuinely bad for Pirates and Royals fans and it is heartening to see both of those franchises becoming relevant again.

lostfan Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Went to the Orioles-Reds game last night... it was a home run derby, the O's were serving up batting practice. Also, Aroldis Chapman throws really hard, you can see how helpless the batters look against him in person. Damn near all of the runs were scored off homers: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/boxscore;_ylt=...F?gid=310625101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigruss Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 08:15 AM) I didn't realize he was in the league. He was hitting like .370 in AAA, along with over 20 homers I believe. And Im surprised that ball still had the cover on it after that.

Called up from AAA this year because the Diamondbacks needed a DH during interleague play. He's a large man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
