It is miserable out...

…no sign of rain, but hot and humid. If his had been a day game I might have stayed home. There was a recent article on fangraphs about CO’s rotation: it’s good, because it’s healthy. No scrabbling through the replacement-level rubbish bin, they’ve mostly had the same starters who range from quite good to only slightly below average (like tonight).

Cross your fingers for a win. LET’S GO NATS GO!!

CARP, YOU'RE STARING AT THE WRONG THING.

Mock’s K/9 was 7.9 in both July and August. Focus on that – it’s luck returning. That peripheral is fantastic for a starter.

fun with numbers

Mock’s ERA: 5.27

FIP: 4.80

hence, a regression was inevitable.

by my count the score is:

numbers: infinity

Rob dibble and his “theories”: 0

tRA is a pretty solid metric since it neutralizes for a couple of other factors, too.

That's half the problem. I forget.

But it neutralizes for park factors and I think includes some HR/FB regression and a few other factors.

however dibble prefers to focus on how "comfortable" he is

because Rob Dibble is actually an omnipresence, and knows how all beings are feeling at all times

Interesting

They had an NL scout rating the Nats when the Stras deal was done…and Dukes wasnt mentioned in terms of the long term core guys. Doesnt mean much – but I found it interesting that other teams scouts look at Morgan and Hammer as long term pieces and Dukes didnt get a mention.

Turns out, after one of my suggestions worked, and the OPCG got what he wanted all along, that it was a guy I’d watched rig from the old days, who was, of course, one of the most experienced circus riggers ever…

We had a laugh….then I collapsed in pain at home….

Why, thank you MissB....

I am pretty much a late second generation tech…. One of the guys in the first company I worked for did sound at Woodstock. The rock ‘n’ roll guys I learned from were the originals. The kid circus rigger started out on Trans Siberian Orchestra as an asst. sound guy, and got thrown into the rigging job when the TSO rigger dropped some stuff. So, rookie mistakes abound these days, because they don’t come up through the ranks.
  Same as everywhere, I suppose. Like TV news readers….

Strasburg Plan:

GAMMONS:

“It was Rizzo who got the Strasburg family’s trust when he went to their house and laid out his developmental plan — no gimmicky ticket sales appearances in Washington in September (he hasn’t pitched since May), a throwing program leading up to the Florida Instructional League, 5-6 starts in the Arizona Fall League, a total of approximately 40 innings between the instructional and Arizona leagues, then a major league invite to spring training.”
