Thanks.

Or even simpler than that...random variation.

How do we do that? They really aren't that expensive, but I don't like paying MLB and then getting endless promotion and encouragement of gambling in exchange.

The other dowside is when they switch to a network of which I do not have access. On the upside, I did have access to last night's game and it was great not be being being bombarded with gambling promotions all night.

Wait until they have home run derby instead of extra innings to settle tie games. They are seriously considering it.

They do it on occasion. I don't like it, but this was hilarious: "Sorry, guys. I need to make this play real quick." Miguel Rojas ...

Wow, TP_Fan is back with his optimistic commentary of the Tigers. I missed you man.

What does his mom look like?

Vest should definitely be their 6th inning guy.

I don't know Carlos Monnarrez. Seidel's story was nice, but it sounded like a Spring Training fluff article.

I'd definitely read that book. Make it a series.

Or how about if the game is tied after nine innings, they have an auto race around the track with one one player from each team.

That's kind of like driving in Boston.

I'd like to see them try to race into Boston during rush hour commute. Now, that would be a sport that requires real skill.

Preposterous is the word of the day.

The main conclusion I can make from this data is that there is no correlation between WPA before and WPA after.

This place has been so full of passion since the trade deadline deals. I like it!

If you think it's preposterous, why do you want them to do it? Or were you being sarcastic?

No, because it's not baseball. I am interested in watching a baseball game, not a home run hitting contest. How about two extra innings and if it's still tied, then do the free base runner thing. There aren't that many games that would go longer than 11 innings and my goal is to have as many real baseball games as possible.

I'd rather see a win than a loss on paper, but I don't enjoy watching that ****. Once they get to extra innings now, the entertainment value goes way down for me.

Oh, I'm sure it's a joy working for BLS right now!

That's what I figured. I imagine it's the same thing as as going to the nice parts of San Diego.

In my experience providing numbers to the government (not employment numbers), the numbers are not "made up" in the sense that they pull a number out of thin air. They are cooked in that they'll change definitions and cutoff dates to their benefit, but they don't just make up a number. When I was doing that kind of work, I covered myself by doing it the right way and also the way they asked and writing a brief report with both numbers in it.

I was just going to post something similar.
