Direct TV Update

So, the Installer just got here, and informed me that he was not told to bring any hardware for me to get local channels, or the second DVR that I was told over the phone that I would get.

After calling up the Customer Support, he handed the phone off to me. They told me in order to get what I wanted (Local channels on 3 tvs and DVR on 2) that it would be an extra $250. I told them that I am going to thank the installers for coming out, and give Dish Network a call and tell them to turn my service back on.

"Yeah, and I have an enchanted jock strap." -- Karl Karlson

This makes no sense at all to me

Home games count too. There a reverse Coors effect (It is difficult to hit a hard breaking curve when you’ve seen less sharp breaking pitches for a week). And the overall PARK ADJUSTED numbers stil have Tulo way ahead of Escobar.

To each their own, but I’ll take Tulo every time, and I suspect most people outside of Georgia would too

"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." - Albert Einstein

by Andrew T. Fisher on Apr 16, 2010 10:51 PM EDT up reply actions

There's no way to know

How they’d hit in the same park. So you can disagree. But I prefer to look at the stats themselves rather than trust the adjustments. I don’t trust the adjustments at all.

"Yeah, and I have an enchanted jock strap." -- Karl Karlson

by Jacob Peterson on Apr 16, 2010 10:52 PM EDT up reply actions

That's fine

But when the adjustments say Tulo is above average by 35% and Escobar by 20%, I don’t think the discrepency can be made up in statistical noise

"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." - Albert Einstein

by Andrew T. Fisher on Apr 16, 2010 10:54 PM EDT up reply actions

Oh it definitely can

especially when the raw numbers say that Esco is about .020 points of wOBA better on the road. That tells me that the park adjustments must be fishy. Maybe Tulo is a bit better, but not 15% better. That’s just wrong.

Tulo's defense is interesting

His 2007 was one of the best defensive seasons by a shortstop in major league history by any metric. He has a strong arm, but his range may have dwindled due to bulking up. I’m not sure I trust UZR last year, as other metrics say he was above average.

Tulo’s road wOBA was better than BOTH Yunel’s home and road wOBA. If Tulo hits like he did on the road for every game, he’d still have a better wOBA than Yunel in 2009

I know it’s his first, but it was a pretty incredible rookie season, ballyhooed all through the country. My point was more that even with that admittedly awesome breakout season, Ubaldo was better

"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." - Albert Einstein

by EricGreggWasPaidOff on Apr 16, 2010 11:15 PM EDT up reply actions

If you want to discount Rockies hitters for Coors Field, you have to equally credit the pitchers

By park adjusted numbers, Ubaldo was better. FIP isn’t even park-adjusted, and Ubaldo was better there. Your point about rookie vs. non-rookie is well taken, so we can see how it works out. I could be wrong, but Hanson seems to be a very polished prospect, the type I don’t expect to have as much room from improvement from rookie to sophomore year.

Just saying

With a lost season due to injury included, his “terrible” road numbers are not far behind Yunel overall. And as for OBP, switch to wOBA. Tulo’s wOBA on the road was better than Yunel’s season wOBA last year. I know I’m nitpicking here by throwing out 2008, but it’s virtually unanimous that 2008 should be thrown out from injury when projecting Tulo
