Around SBN: Drug Testing, Alistair Overeem & UFC 146's Potential Legacy

Open Music Thread

Been too long since one of these, and it beats me FanShotting something pointless. I've done this before, but it's always a good discussion starter: first ten songs on shuffle for your music contraption of choice.

Marvin Gaye - Little Darling
Bob Marley - Get Up, Stand Up
Grateful Dead - Jack-A-Roe
Dandy Warhols - Get Off
Kid Koala - Basin Street Blues
Clipse - Dirty Money
Overkill - Bare Bones
DJ Krush - Blank
Thao - Body
31 Knots - Imitation Flesh

No cheating. First ten, embarrassing or not.

Sabes
Boston Globe Nick Cafardo:
Giants GM Brian Sabean understands the angst of fans when you don’t have that kick-butt roster from the get-go.

"In this information age, the average fan has so much information at his/her disposal, they have all the players, stats, projections right there,’’ said Sabean. "But this game is so much more than those stats and analysis and metrics. It’s ultimately about human beings.

Sabean added, "Everyone wants a great roster heading into Opening Day. That’s the goal of every team. Coming out of 2009, we thought we had that. We won 87 games that year. We felt good about 2010, but once we got into it, there were some things that we had to correct.’’

"One thing I’ve learned about a roster,’’ Sabean said. "Every year, you’re going to have one pitcher do better than you expected and one pitcher do worse. One reliever to do better and one to do worse. And one hitter do better and one do worse. It never fails.’’

I remember 2009 being the worst lineup of the last three seasons. It was mostly Pablo, with some good part time work from Uribe and Torres, and a decent but disappointing Rowand.

WIKIPEDIA!
Although Yankovic traditionally secures permission from the artists he parodies (even though this may not be legally required, as parodies are covered under fair use guidelines), and was told by his record label that Coolio had given permission, Coolio later claimed that he had not given such permission (and in fact publicly expressed disgust saying that Al’s parody “desecrated the song”). This created a minor controversy, as speculation surfaced that Coolio had actually given permission but later claimed he had not in the fear that allowing the parody would not be seen as “cool”, or that Yankovic’s record label had lied to Yankovic in the hopes that the song would become popular.

Yankovic later stated on VH1’s Behind the Music that he had written a sincere letter of apology to Coolio which was never returned, and that Coolio never complained when he received his royalty check from proceeds of the song. A series of photos taken at the XM Satellite Radio booth at the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show suggests that Yankovic and Coolio may have made amends.1 According to Al, he was as surprised as anyone when Coolio came over to chat.

I listened to “Live at Leeds” as a kid maybe a thousand times. “Young Man Blues” and “Magic Bus” totally changed my perspective on what rock should be like. If there were any band I’d go see live at any period in rock, seeing the Who ’69 to maybe ’77 would be it. When they were on, no band could touch them in terms of energy and anarchic spirit.

He says Timmy always wanted a two year deal to buy out his arbitration years and then “see where the chips fall after he becomes a free-agent”. The Giants and Timmy had parallel discussions on alternative deals. Schulman thinks this deal is a win for both sides. Timmy gets to make a lot of money for two years and then have the flexibility to “sell his services to the Yankess and Red Sox” after it’s over, and the Giants avoid having to commit to a long term contract. Schulman says he never thought a four year deal was ever going to happen. He also goes on to say that Timmy and Cain are “two different individuals with two different ways at looking at things” with regards to their contract negotiations with the Giants.

On a related subject

I’m sure at some point this has been discussed, but……

I was thinking about this again today and I think my go to At Bat music would be Steve Miller’s “the Joker.” Probably the intro or, if not, the chorus. 2nd Choice would be Marley’s “Three Little Birds” because who wouldn’t like a player who went up to bat with that song playing? If they’d allow me to get away with, also Radiohead’s “Creep” just because I think it would be kind of funny to go up to this:

“But I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here”

He’s[Bochy] also hoping that Barry Zito can do what Alex Smith did this year: Follow years of highly criticized work in San Francisco with a sweet redemption song.

"We need him to," Bruce told me. "I’ve been getting good reports on him, too."

Among what he’s heard, from famed pitching coach Tom House, who’s been working with Zito this winter: The much-maligned lefty has added some weight — and VELOCITY.

"Barry’s a hard worker; he cares. Everybody knows that," Bochy said. "I’d love to see him have a nice year, not just for him — you always like to see a guy who cares as much as he does have things go well, kind of like what’s happened with Alex — but for us. We need his innings, and we need him to be the pitcher we all know he’s capable of being.

Urban on 95.7 The Game

http://www.957thegame.com/topic/play_window.php?audioType=Episode&audioId=5653231
He says that players like Lincecum receive pressure from the players association and their peers to set the bar for other players. He says that when Tim Hudson took less money to sign with the Braves, who are closer to his home, he received a little backlash from his peers for it.

but you need to hear the ball. I have sometimes put the volume really low so you can’t really understand what they’re saying, but you can still mostly hear the ball.

Well he is younger, obviously. Which probably makes him more agile.

He gets really out of position sometimes and relies on his speed/agility to get back. He won’t age as well as Roger has.

Yes, in front offices! In players, though, value is value. Is a player who has a .300 OBP but a 110 wRC+ more valuable than a player with a .350 OBP and the same wRC+? Not really.

Same deal with FIP. You can get a good FIP by striking a lot of guys out, or by walking few guys, or by giving up few home runs, or any combination thereof. On the aggregate, it metes out similarly.

I hate Cowherd but this is a fascinating article
BRISTOL, Conn. – Colin Cowherd is crying.

"I felt terrible," he tells me in his office, his voice cracking. "I remember driving home – I’ll get emotional about this – and thinking about my late dad …"

Cowherd stops himself again and tries to deep breath his way out of an Oprah moment on his own computer chair. Resistance is futile. I had asked Cowherd about his role in an incident five years ago that briefly blew up my fledgling website. Obviously – and surprisingly, given Cowherd’s effortlessly cool persona – the memory aches.

"I can’t talk about this. I’ll get emotional," he says, tugging at the zipper in the middle of his chest on his midnight-blue Puma tracksuit. His eyes well with tears. "That was awful. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever done to another person. It was a horrible thing to do … it ate me up."

From November 1, 2011: “A galoot is a big, sturdy guy, maybe a little on the slow side (physically). A bearish sorta guy.”

To that I would clarify the North American Galoot is thick, but not overtly muscular. Maybe he’s got a nice gut, but he’s not fat. And galoots tend to be real friendly, like your Jim Thomeses.

So yes, Mr. Uggla fits right into that definition. Berkman may as well, but he’s not attractive to me. Which is an important point – not all galoots are hot. Some are simply Lance Berkman.

Locking up the Lars the Wanderer vote
The United States will have a permanent manned colony on the moon by 2020 if Newt Gingrich is in charge, the Republican presidential hopeful announced today

Gingrich laid out this goal during a speech in the city of Cocoa, on Florida’s Space Coast. He also said that near-Earth space would be bustling with commercial activity by 2020, and that America would possess a next-generation propulsion system by then, allowing the nation to get astronauts to Mars quickly and efficiently.

“By the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon, and it will be American,” Gingrich said.

Colonies are not against the treaty

Claiming any part of the moon for any one nation is. It is essentially treated the same way as Antarctica.

Did not know this
Due to the success of the movie, a sequel was written with the script title Total Recall 2, and with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character still Douglas Quaid, now working as a reformed law enforcer. The sequel was based on another Philip K. Dick short story, "The Minority Report," which hypothesizes about a future where a crime can be solved before it’s committed—in the movie, the clairvoyants would be Martian mutants. The sequel was not filmed, but the script survived and it was changed drastically and contained greater elements from the original short story. The story was eventually adapted as a science fiction thriller as Minority Report by Steven Spielberg and opened in 2002 to box-office success and critical acclaim.

Destihl’s food is pretty good, but their beers are actually pretty meh. Multiple beer enthusiasts I’ve talked to around here have come away with the same impression. Destihl is at least cool in that they let you buy a 4 oz sample for the prorated price of the 16 oz price—unfortunately, that just means you can try more mediocre beer.

Papelbon

will give you more innings and is 4 year younger. But was pretty average in 2009 and 2010 (before rebounding in 2011).

Lidge: 1 year/$1 million
Papelbon 4years/$50 million.

No doubt, you get more value with Lidge, but you get better quality with Papelbon. The

But yeah, the Papelbon contract is probably the worst ever given to a reliever. Mayber second worst, b/c at least he is a “closer”.

one odd thing I noticed yesterday about my music collection

I have 1900+ songs on my phone (from which my list was taken… I have another 20muble-thousand on a hard drive but they mostly suck).

Of that 1900… exactly one song begins with the letter “Q”. Questioningly – The Ramones.

I sort of want to calculate a p-value for that, and throw it in the face of people who like p-values.

2013:
Same as 2012 except that if he wins the Cy Young in 2012, Lincecum would receive $1,000,000 for winning it again in 2013.

Tim also has All Star game bonuses of $100,000 each year. And $75,000 for winning a gold glove.

Interesting soccer discussion
Imagine you and nine rival managers/sporting directors are putting together soccer teams from scratch. Every current or former player is available to draft, each in the prime of his career.

How would you construct a 16-man squad? Would Pele be the surefire No. 1 player on your draft board? If you had a full list of forwards from which to choose, how would you decide among Pele, Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi, Johan Cruyff and Alfredo di Stefano? Where would you slot Franz Beckenbauer and Franco Baresi? Zico and Michel Platini? How would you balance stars and role players, or pioneers versus today’s greats?

Bullet dodged
The Dodgers’ attempt at Fielder, with a high annual salary on the four years Fielder was guaranteed to be a Dodger and the always favorable player opt out, is believed to have put them among the final three teams in on Fielder, who agreed to the Tigers deal on Tuesday that was first reported by CBSSports.com and announced today. The Nationals have said they were in on Fielder until the end, but the Dodgers were at least in the final three. The Dodgers only started to lose hope the final weekend when the Tigers’ big bid materialized, people familiar with the negotiations told Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com.

The Dodgers’ offer was said to have called for an average salary of about $26 million for the first four years and something in the low $20-million-range in the next three years. The bid was designed not to discourage Fielder from opting out and possibly moving to the American League where he could DH after the first four years. The total Dodgers deal was believed to have been worth in the low $160 millions.

I don’t think there are even 2,000 songs in existence I like enough to want to hear regularly, and I rarely keep more than 120 or so on my ipod at a time (which, though I’m incredibly cheap and therefore perfectly happy with my 6 year old 1 GB shuffle, is nowhere near its capacity).

It’s a sample bias issue.

If batters are swinging at the first pitch, it’s usually because it’s a pitch they think they can drive. Aaron Rowand probably brings the overall numbers down by himself.

It's still an issue.

The lists are pretty predictable. Most often are “look for a fastball” guys like Yadier and Hamilton, and free swingers like Vlad and Yuni. Least often are “holy shit I can’t believe he’s throwing my this” guys like Pujols and Tex, and pests like Carroll and Hardy.

I’d say it’s simply a SSS. You’re looking at the top 20 in each category. Josh Hamilton had better success than J.J. Hardy, well, Josh Hamilton is a better hitter, no matter the approach. He also plays outfield as opposed to shortstop.

by GuyWhiteyCorngood on Jan 26, 2012 12:46 PM PST up reply actions  

I think it is valid

Interesting the average is slightly higher on first list, OBP is a splinter lower, and Slugging is a significant 40 points higher.

I didnt see Beltran on there, but I swear when he swung first pitch he had good things happen, the few weeks we got to watch him.

Since this seems too have started with Decker opining that you want your power hitters being more aggressive on the first pitch, and people getting all worked up about it and decrying the lack of plate discipline they felt that implied, I think it’s topical.

I mean, Jamey Carroll is clearly getting the most out of what his abilities can handle. No amount of pitch selection is going to drive his SLG above Vlad Guerrero’s (and SLG is the main difference between the two groups).

Mark DeRosa , he had his moments.

by oldjacket on Jan 26, 2012 3:30 PM PST up reply actions  

Yes, you don’t want a hitter like Carroll being aggressive early in the count and taking aggressive cuts for just that reason. For hitters with power, worrying about taking a strike and taking swing out to increase contact is counter productive (which is what I think Decker’s point is).
What I’m reacting to (overreacting to?) is the GIANTS HAVE NO ORGANIZATIONAL PLATE DISCIPLINE outrage over what seems to be just plain good sense on Decker’s part, even if it’s possibly poorly communicated. This seems to indicate (admittedly in a preliminary and far from definitive manner) that a high rate of first pitch takes doesn’t correlate well with overall offensive productivity.

I dunno,

It’s probably got different values to different power hitters too. If the Giants were fielding successful offenses right and left, I wouldn’t think anything of it. SInce they field OBP poor teams that don’t score year after year, I suspect they preach aggressiveness even to players whose style is not suited to it.

Also, the Giants really do have no organizational plate discipline.

Mark DeRosa , he had his moments.

Ah, yes, I do think there are plenty of reasons to look with disfavor upon the Giants’ organizational hitting philosophy. It’s just that I don’t think the Decker quote is one of them (in fact it seems to point out that he thinks different hitters should have different approaches). And that first ball swinging isn’t a good proxy for overall plate discipline, I suppose.

by djfivenine on Jan 26, 2012 12:29 PM PST up reply actions  

This sums it up perfectly for me
Schmidt signed a three-year, $47 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers prior to the 2007 season.
Schmidt was activated on July 20, 2009, to start against the Cincinnati Reds, his first appearance in a Major League game since 2007.
On August 7, he was again placed on the DL, with Torre speculating that Schmidt’s career may be over.

How long do you plan to stay in AZ? Are you on a tight budget? Do you care more about budget or your time?

1. $550+ on flight + rental car while in AZ?
2. 9 hours = ~600 Miles? You’ll prob spend $150 on gas to go round trip (1,200 miles, 30miles/gal, $3.75/gal). But you’ll only spend the $150.
3. You’ll prob end up spending $400 total on gas, flight, and rental car.

All depends on your time vs budget tolerance.

Nice to see some Kanno on here.

It used to make up a much larger portion of my iTunes before the surrounded material swelled in size.

The SBN auto-formatting interprets two dashes as a command to strike through everything in between then. Which is awesome

Very late to the party

I love the diversity of music from Giants fans. So, while I’m still transferring vinyl to the iPod, here’s what (honestly) came up on the shuttle (only 1436 songs):

Nardis – Mike Stern
100 Years From Now – Huey Lewis & the News (best National Anthem @ Pac Belle ever!)
Paint It Black – Rolling Stones
Rocky Mountain Way – Joe Walsh
Hoodoo Man – Eric Clapton
Papa Har Lov – Kaizers Orchestra
I Say A Little Prayer For You – Dionne Warwick (ouch!)
If It Be Your Will – Antony
That’s Not Love (Keb Mo’
Back to the Island – Leon Russell

Don't believe everything you think.

I can’t believe you said “ouch” to Dionne Warwick, but gave praise to Huey Lewis and left Eric Clapton just hanging there.

One of my favorite covers of all time is the Stranglers cover of Dionne Warwick’s “Walk On By.”
