« on: April 22, 2015, 12:11:50 pm »Just a couple of post-game points of order for those scoring at home:
1. A runner advances either on a steal or a wild pitch/passed ball, but not both. If he was running on the pitch, he gets credit for a stolen base and the pitcher is not charged with a wild pitch. If the runner wasn't moving on the pitch, no stolen base and pitcher is charged with a wild pitch or the catcher charged with a passed ball.
2. A batter only gets credit for a sacrifice fly if it scores a run. A runner simply advancing to 2b or 3b is not a sac, it's simply a fly out, and the batter is charged an at bat.
Keep up the good GZ work!
I somehow knew those comments weren't quite right, but just decided to power through.
As a side note, it seems all my Apple hardware (a mini-mac and iPad 2) that I bought 3 or 4 years ago is now incredibly slow. Is this true or have my expectations adjusted?

McHugh is having control issues and I think he likes to put some of his pitches in the dirt. Castro isn't the best at that, but tough to deal with.

The strategy is to pick a set of players who will perform well in the simulated games of the upcoming week and assign them optimal roles on your line-up card.

Murray Chass writes a column about minority manager hiring using Crane as the lead, but then meanders in a bunch of directions as baseball writers tend to do.
Crane writes a rather defensive letter back.
Just a reminder, Murray Chass accused Stan Musial being a racist, though I think he is saying less here and on firmer ground. I thought Crane's letter was interesting.

Jeff Bagwell
Craig Biggio
Barry Bonds
Roger Clemens
Randy Johnson
Pedro Martinez
Mike Piazza
Tim Raines
Alan Trammell
I think the ballot has cleared up enough to get plenty of votes for Biggio and Bagwell.
