Thursday, November 5th, 2009 by I Love Nerd York CityThe following story is about a girl who lived down the hall from me for several years during college. I had not thought about this particular sequence of events for years before seeing the Jayson Werth rookie card embedded later in this post. And then it all came flooding back…

This is Mr. Knicely’s 1986 Topps card. Anyone want to guess which television drama about cops in South Beach was a top-ten-hit that year?
Giving it away…
Friday, June 12th, 2009 by I Love Nerd York CityLast night’s Mets/Phillies game lasted 10 innings (Phillies won 6-3).
10 innings = 30 outs on offense for each team. The game can’t end before you run out of these outs…these outs are valuable baseball commodities.
So can someone please explain why Jerry Manuel called for three (3!) sacrifice bunts? None of these occurred in the 8th/9th innings. Two of these occurred after lead-off doubles, so the runner was already in scoring position with no outs. The other occurred with a man on 1st and one out. All occurred with the struggling, soft-throwing Jamie Moyer on the mound (current ERA 6.11, current WHIP 1.49).
Had all three of these bunts worked as planned, the Mets would have conceded a full inning’s worth of outs. While playing against the team that has scored more runs than any other in the major leagues this season. And having Tim Redding as their starting pitcher (he actually threw a good game last night).
Someone please explain. PLEASE. I must be missing something.

Interesting Don Carman facts from Wikipedia:
1) All-Stars Craig Biggio, Ken Griffey Jr., Jeffrey Leonard, Pete Rose, Larry Walker, and Matt Williams went a collective 1-for-40 against Mr. Carman in their careers.
2) Following a game in 1990, Mr. Carman grew tired of the repetitive post-game questions he was forced to answer. After creating a handwritten list of 37 standard responses to these questions, he posted them on his locker, and invited reporters to choose which response they wanted. The list included cliches like “I’d rather be lucky than good” and “We’re going to take the season one game at a time.

Walking the Walk Part II: Pitching and Defense
Wednesday, February 25th, 2009 by Prof. Nerdtron 3000A baseball team has two jobs. One is to score runs, and the other is prevent runs. If we look at how teams score and prevent runs, then we can measure player’s values directly in the runs they contribute. Nerdbaseball has a model for run scoring, now we need a model for run prevention.
