Because Cristian Guzman is on the ballot despite not being very good, I wondered if even the Nationals SBN site could justify voting for him. It currently gets a small mention in the midst of an insanely long post. When it lists Sandoval, it does so as:

Timmy: 121 IP 2.23 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 141 K, 193 ERA+, 4.7 K/BB
Tim cleans his clock in Ks, but it’s not insane to think that Haren’s been better. Tim does have one more win, but everyone knows wins are stupid. I guess my statement made it seem like I thought Haren was head and shoulders above everyone else, which I don’t. HOWEVUH, if the season ended today he’d get my Cy vote.
Haren has been bad in the second half for like 3 straight years, so I don’t expect it to continue, but the guy’s been fucking incredible this year.

I've always wondered this...
Doesn’t a low BABIP just indicate that batters aren’t hitting the ball well because the hitter’s pitching well? Rather than just getting unlucky? Same for hitters. Some hitters just suck and have low BABIPs which you can’t expect to even out. A higher BABIP is more likely to come down than a low BABIP go up.
Insanity is just a state of mind.
by giants9107 on Jul 9, 2009 1:47 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think research has shown that while it can be highly variable for hitters, most pitcher BABIP is normally somewhere in the .270-.300 range. Haren’s got similar numbers to his previous years in terms of line drives, ground balls, fly balls, etc but while his career BABIP is .290, this year it’s only ~.230. Not that he’s not having a great year, but dude has been somewhat lucky so far.

If that were true, then good pitchers would consistently have low BABIPs, and bad ones would consistently have high ones. That is nowhere close to being the case. In general, unhittable pitchers are unhittable because the make sure batters don’t put many balls in play, not because they control the balls that were put in play.

Pablo >>>> Victorino, enjoy your ring Shane but the Panda owns you in everything ever measure…next.
Pablo >>> Reynolds, great power numbers but he seems destined to strike out in this ballot too…next
Pablo >> Kemp, very similar to the Panda’s stats except he steals bases while Panda hits better. However, he is likely to be on the AS team anyway with Ibanez/Beltran’s injury so let the Pandamonium begin in the LOU!!

Hold On!
Unfortunately, CafePress.com has pulled the design.
I’m not sure why, but it probably has to do with the small SF logo on the Pablo’s sleeve. Or just the image of Pablo entirely, I’m not sure. Probably not the “Vote for Pablo” text. There are a hundred different “Vote for Pedro” spoofs up on CafePress.com, so that’s not it. I really like this one a lot, but I have a hopefully less “infringing” version in the works that will go up when I know the exact problem, which should be sometime tomorrow morning. Yes, despite doing a couple hours of work on the image – working in my own color and composition into the work – I modeled the image of Pablo after a couple different images I found online, and that’s legal gray area to say the least. I understand that CafePress.com is covering its a$$ and I get that, so we’ll see.
Thanks!

It’s probably because of Pablo’s image. I’ve had similar experiences with Cafepress, even if I don’t use any photos.

Well I can’t argue with Gary that the final vote and online voting in general is kind of an imperfect system. It allows people such as ourselves to stuff the ballot box. And often it lets the team hosting the AS game to get way too many of their players into the game.
Although this year I’m actually partaking because of Charlie Manuel’s idiotic voting methods. The stupid thing is that either Kemp or Victorino or both are going to make the team anyway because of injuries to Ibanez and Beltran. So just let Pablo have a spot you fuckers!

every time i tune in to him, which isn’t very often, he’s always talking about something other than sports…so really I am shocked that he would say that, because that would mean he was discussing sports.

I just got back from Europe, where the only Giants news I got were occasional scores (no box score, not even line scores) and some league leader stuff. Pablo must have been ON FIRE the last few weeks. Since getting back last night I’ve put in about a dozen votes for pablo, I really hope he makes it. And congrats to cain on his first all star appearance.

i am super pissed at mike and mike in the morning, they had victorino on and fawned all over him, then when victorino named off all the other guys he was going against and something positive about them he never mentioned pablo once.
i know i own him in both my fantasy leagues, and he is helping me destroy everyone in dingerz.exe, but what a jackarse

You guys should vote in shifts so Pablo always has votes
3 AM. Someone could be online voting for him because there will be folks in the Philly area at 6 AM voting. This way he’s always getting votes up until the 1 PM PT deadline.

Just checked the Phillies and Tigers web site, both sides are pushing the combo of Victorino and Inge like the Angels and Dodgers are pushing Figgins and Kemp. The Giants and Rangers should have teamed up.

Sometime during the game or on the Radnich radio show they said they were over the 2 million mark, so is about 20k for 2%.

Victorino has been worth $7.8 million this year thanks mostly to his garbage -7.8 run value on defense in CF.
Pablo has been worth $12 million.

Buster Olney was on Murph and Mac this morning, he said Victorino is gonna be there no matter what, because of Delgado’s injury. Which means Panda is gonna be there, even if he loses to Victorino. I guess Charlie Manuel is gonna replace Delgado with Victorino leaving Panda at the top of the vote …WOOT!
