Facts, figures and other tidbits from the sixth
week of the '08 major league baseball season. Dynamic
Duo : The Angels' Ervin Santana joined teammate Joe Saunders with 6 wins after pitching a 4-hitter in Monday's 4-0 win over the Royals. He did it in just 97 pitches and threw 69 strikes. Notable Quotable I : "That's amazing sometimes how that 98 gets hit and that 78 wins. I ...
You might have guessed that today’s discussion will
be about predicting a no hitter based on the
wealth of numerical data that exists, and you’d be right. So where should we start? Well, let’s start with (who else?) Bill James, who estimated the odds of a no-no by a pitcher in a single game using his career statistics...

Chris DeLuca: A newly bald Gavin Floyd walked
out of the shower room, headed for his locker
and maintained a sheepish gaze at the carpet. This is what happens when you get your ''Anchorman'' Ron Burgundy-style hair shaved completely off. Sitting ...
If there were any thoughts that the White
Sox would look to add to the starting rotation,
general manager Ken Williams put that to rest on Wednesday.
One word sums up how the Chicago White
Sox felt when they arrived at U.S. Cellular Field
on Tuesday: embarrassed. They were coming off an 0-6 road trip and trying to explain a lewd clubhouse gimmick involving blow-up dolls this past weekend in Toronto. White Sox righthander Gavin Floyd pushed all that talk aside, coming two outs from the majors' first no-hitter this season in a 7-1 ...
Edinson Volquez, Tim Lincecum, Cole Hamels, Jair Jurrjens,
Zack Grienke, Dana Eveland, Gavin Floyd, and John Danks
are all 25 years of age or younger and are among the top-twenty leaders in ERA.
There was only one group of people happy
with Gavin Floyd's pitching performance against the Pittsburgh Pirates
yesterday: those who own him in fantasy baseball leagues. That's because he was only charged with giving up one run in his start yesterday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, despite really giving up seven runs.
As tempting as it is to say, once
more, that Joe Saunders is the king of the
over-exceeding expectations hill, I'll let him be and single out another likely consensus choice: Gavin Floyd . In his 8-3, 3.19 ERA, 1.10 WHIP season this year, Floyd has ...
Only caught a few innings of the game
last night, but got the rundown from Al the
Sports Dude. Great inning by inning account of the game. Don’t look now but White Sox pitcher Gavin Floyd has Detroit with this line…listening on XM 181…
Jay Mariotti: The team with no class almost
spun a no-hitter. Filthy as the White Sox and
their manager have been, Gavin Floyd somehow was filthier and nastier Tuesday night on the South Side. After Hawk Harrelson jinxed the young man by babbling, ...
I came up with this idea for a
series of guest blogger spots over a week ago.
When it first came to me the Indians were in second place behind the Twins. Then they swept the A’s to take over first. Now, it’s the White Sox turn at the top. With all ...
I have a sneaky suspicion that analysts that
claim to glean information from scouting are essentially making
things up. Yes, I think in most instances they are doing an ex post facto justification of a lucky selection. There are a number of reasons I believe this: 1. Few if any bloggers have any experience in scouting. None that I know of attended the scouting school, and the idea that you ...
HR - B Abreu (9, 1st inning off
J Contreras 2 on, 0 Out), H Matsui 2
(21, 1st inning off J Contreras 0 on, 1 Out, 6th inning off G Floyd 1 on, 1 Out), R Cano (9, 3rd inning off J Contreras 2 on, 2 Out), M Cabrera (6, 3rd inning off C Haeger 1 on, 2 ...
Gavin Floyd flirts with a no-hitter, Jeff Francoeur
explodes for 2 homers and 7 RBI, Cole Hamels
shows why he's the ace of the Phillies rotation, Justin Upton continues his torrid April, and Derek Lowe does it all against the Padres...
There's no noise pollution or contrived testosterone in
the air, just a b.s.-free commitment to focus, surprisingly
good pitching and winning. Not long ago, Williams cracked wise about his intense approach to his job and said, "Maybe I'm just not a happy person." Well, at the moment, life is one big Zoloft pill for the 24/7 general manager. The Sox are leading the American League Central, ...
There's no question he's pitched beautifully so far
this season, and he may very well have the
prettiest curveball in baseball, and he's oh-so-close to finally getting a no-hitter...
Has Gavin Floyd finally become the starter he
was predicted to be?
Contreras reclaims his starting spot By Kent McDill
kmcdill@dailyherald.com Posted Monday, August 13, 2007 Jose Contreras' 5-inning
shutout relief appearance Saturday has earned him a return to the White Sox starting rotation. Contreras, who pitched 7 ...
It would be easy to say that Gavin
Floyd got rocked in his final spring training start
of the year. I don't know what my reaction would have been had I been able to watch the game in a form other than MLB's Gameday. But I can say this for certain, ...
A seismic event measuring 5.4 on the Richter
scale struck Illinois early Friday , following an equally
rumbly White Sox loss in Baltimore that measured 6-5 in 10. “The earthquake didn’t do any harm, but the loss to the Orioles sure did,” said Dr. Willard T. Hayseed, a Midwestern seismologist. “The corn’s still standing, but we were banking on a two-game sweep ...
