Sons of Steve Garvey: Psycho Pspeaks Pstupidly
BBTF's Baseball Primer NewsblogSons of Steve Garvey: Psycho Pspeaks Pstupidly Thanks to Calcaterra for the headline… Collins: Baseball, you mentioned it before, it’s a numbers game. It’s a game of percentages. And if you put yourself in the best possible situation through percentages, theoretically you have a better chance of winning games. Ozzie Guillen is with you. You guys are teammates to the core. He is a feel-guy, a gut-guy, and I don’t think he looks at too many of the things that the seamheads toss his way. Lyons: What? Collins: We call ourselves “seamheads.” Lyons:“Seamheads”? ...

The Yankee Universe — ... that does not mean that the numbers should be ignored and even scorned, as they are by many on the radio and shows like Baseball Tonight. You can use the numbers and your perceptions in conjunction if that makes you more comfortable than solely relying on the stats, but to ignore the numbers entirely smacks of professional irresponsibility. For an example of what I am referring to, I point you to the willful ignorance of Steve Lyons, courtesy of Shysterball and SOSG: Collins: For the first time ever you have categories that measure defense. ...

Red Reporter — ... darkened corner of my cortex. I hope so, I havent read it yet. It's kinda long and there's a lot of charts and stuff. Geovany Soto failed a drug test during World Baseball Classic I didnt know baseball tested for marijuana. Should they even bother? Anyway, Soto has apologized and said it was "an isolated incident" (riiiiight). But DAYUM!! dude will be banned from international competition for two years.  HT to ShysterBall.

USC is the favorite to be the next school to commit an NCAA violation. Simmons' draft diary. What's the problem with the Indians? Are golfers more aggressive on par puts than birdie attempts, even from the same distance? Steinberg on the Boston invasion of Nationals Park. Pujols calls his shot. The whole Jerod Morris thing was ...
