I can't stand Guillen and would have fired him last season. (More to the point, I would never have hired him.) As for Randolph, he may have been a stand up...
Would it have been a better ruling to give him the win if he had given up the lead and Cards came back in the bottom of the 9th? As much as I had the way...

Some teams wins because of their manager. Some teams win despite of their manager. The White Sox are in the latter category. He is yet another example of...
Maybe I missed something but - I attended Monday night's NYY-Twins game and of course kept score. In the bottom of the 6th Monroe, with Cuddyer on first, hit...

ERA is imperfect, of course. For one thing, with fielding averages being what they are, we should drop the idea of earned runs vs. unearned runs. Last year...
OK. But aren't all pitching statistics pretty far from perfect? I've wanted to some correlation studies on things like K/9, K/BB, Ground Ball %, etc, but the...

Stew, you changed the subject. Regarding actual "slips" I agree that whether they should be errors or not, if scorers never call them errors you are justified...
Agreed. That's why, despite it's problems, I thought I had endoresed ERA (in combination with IP) as a good measure, at least for careers. But obviously I...
regarding the Cano-Jeter play: yes, i believe Jeter had to change course to get to the bag, and he was looking back for the throw while trying to find the bag...
