Or was it more Seager with the bobble and the extra step? Either way, impressed by Trumbo.

Source for 1st/2nd half splits by games 1-81 & 82-162 instead of ASB?

Paul Swydan

10:36

I'm pretty sure it's pre and post ASB.

Jeff Zimmerman

10:36

July 1st if I remember correctly

10:37

See, if you go to it now, there are no results for 2nd half.

Boom.

Ryan

Trumbo: best bargain off-season acquisition? And if not, who is?

Paul Swydan

10:37

If he's not the best he's up there. Desmond has a case.

Jeff Zimmerman

10:37

Murphy?

Paul Swydan

10:38

Oh ya Murphy is a good one too.

The Cincinnati Kid

10:38

I know most sites have it split that way, but is there somewhere that has it by game #s

Paul Swydan

10:38

Not to my knowledge. Though if you are doing team stats, it's not that much extra work to just look at each month and sum them to make the splits you want.

Jeff Zimmerman

10:39

Trumbo at 4.5 secs to 1B

Vic Romano

10:39

Fowler seems like a pretty good offseason bargain

Paul Swydan

10:39

Yes he is another one.

TengoPreguntas

10:39

Jeff should be all about these costal regions? Or only volcanoes

Paul Swydan

10:40

Do you mean Jeff Sullivan? That's a completely different person.

Jeff Zimmerman

10:40

Wrong Jeff

oooooo

10:40

why'd you join the navy, Jeff?

Jeff Zimmerman

10:41

It was about 20 years when I would young and dumb. Now I am old and slightly smarter.

The Cincinnati Kid

10:42

When we see highlights from this game in 10 years, our collective thought is going to be, "Cleats were hideous then!"

Jeff Zimmerman

10:42

I could see that

Paul Swydan

10:42

That'll probably be the second collective thought after "man this game is boring"

Although I have to say, I love the neon cleats.

10:42

Sullivan is all about the mountains

Paul Swydan

10:43

No he's actually all about volcanoes. If he could retire tomorrow and just go study volcanoes the rest of his life, he would absolutely do so.

10:44

Sullivan knows the most minute things about volcanoes the same way he does about baseball.

Jay B

10:45

Was like 8 seconds of hang time on Donaldson's pop up?!?!

Paul Swydan

10:45

8 seconds is VERY rare, right Jeff?

Jeff Zimmerman

10:45

Yea, 8 is about impossible.

Paul Swydan

10:46

I've sat next to Jeff when he has his stopwatch out, and I'll go "wow that must have been 7 or 8 seconds!" and it'll be 3 or 4.

In case you didn't know, I'm an idiot.

Ryan

10:47

If you put together a team of the best all-star snubs and had them play 100 games against the NL or AL all-stars, how many games would "team snub" win?

Paul Swydan

10:47

I'd say at least 40 percent.

Jeff Zimmerman

10:47

33% at least

Paul Swydan

10:47

Because it's hard to lose more often that.

Jeff Zimmerman

10:47

Wow

Paul Swydan

10:48

I mean, realistically, a team of All-Star snubs would be way better than the Braves this year, and they're at .348 winning percentage.

Daniel Murphy. Who knew?
