Lmao, argue with MLB.com about the statistic. I live on the east coast.

"Yes, earthworms, crawl for your lives. Among pitchers with at least 15 innings this season, Perdomo has a 66 percent ground-ball clip. Only one pitcher has a higher rate.
That happens to be Freeman."

Tell MLB.com they need a new copy editor.

Erick Aybar has a 100% ground ball rate this year in 0.1 IP

I think it's interesting that the Padres have scored 54.6 percent of their runs this year on home run balls...highest percentage in the MLB and are facing the pitcher that forces ground balls at a higher rate than anybody else in the league.
Cousin Sal has a new gambling podcast. Seems ok.

I'd be more impressed if you posted your Jonas tickets, he went over everything in the first 11 min

Joey Logs busted for an illegal suspension (car part). Stripped of points for the win, docked 25 driver pts, crew chief suspended...I think Keselowski should be awarded the win, and Harvick the matchup.

So I went to a leadership conference on Tuesday and one of the things they talked about was the importance of leading with an attitude of humility and a spirit of abundance. With that in mind, rather than making fun of Em for his lack of baseball knowledge, I'm going to help. fangraphs.com You're welcome. If you have sincere interest in knowing about baseball that website is your friend.
On a side note, one of the pitchers with the biggest increase in FB% this year is James Paxton (he plays for Seattle, in case you didn't know). Discuss.

Is he really inducing more fly balls or is he striking out more guys that used to hit ground outs?
gussy
Footballguy
For the first question the answer is yes, he's inducing more fly balls. His K rate is up substantially as well, which actually started the last half of last
season. As far as what type of hitters he's striking out now that he wasn't before, I'm now aware of a way to quantify that. ?

Footballguy
One more thing I'd say, and I'm pretty much quoting the article, but it makes sense, at some point the K rate will probably regress, at least a little, and it's possible at that point the FB% becomes more problematic than it is now.
My point to Em was that being a FB pitcher isn't necessarily a bad thing, depending on home park, OF defense, etc. A FB pitcher, even in the reconfigured Petco probably isn't terrible.

What was that 5 horse bet that guy was playing? He said dollar bet cost 60, I never heard of it before and forgot what he called it.Aaron Rudnicki said:

TriBox with those 5 horses would be 5x4x3 =60x$1 = $60
So as long as any 3 of those 5 horses finish 1-2-3 you probably win some $

@TheGooRoo Any props that sharp play tonight that you are going to post a picture of it winning like 15 bets and thousands of dollars tomorrow? Reading about it now instead of tomorrow would make me love you even more.

What are we thinking on SA/HOU series.
I feel like SA has good value. They were EV before game 2 now they are -110 while Houston is -120

On one hand, the French are a bunch of pansies. On the other hand, it'd be the next step towards a major World War. I'm with it, I think there are a lot of people who secretly have an admiration for her like Trump. She met with Trump and Putin within the past 6 months, so if you believe an election could possibly be rigged you can look at "that" as an angle too.
No chance Brexit would happen... and even less chance Donald Trump is gonna be President, right? I hope she gets elected, France is in a state similar to the United States after 9/11 after the recent terror attacks. They want to go back to a time before Islamic Radical terrorism was a part of their everyday life.

Have cash, want btc. Pm me if this would be much mutually beneficial.
Random 3:45am money musing:
Still makes me just a little bit sick that I bought my first btc at $24.
Also in 2000 I was 16 had a chunk of cash from buying and selling shark drives on eBay. My partner and I were deciding what to buy stock in. He picked Netflix, I picked a company called level 3. I didn't own a DVD player at the time so I didn't see the potential.
Nobody hits 100% and you learn a lot more from a loss than a win.

Great post.
So, I haven't read as much about BTC in the last few weeks. Do you have any insight as to what's going on or where it's headed? I assume you're bullish if you're looking to buy.

Honestly with btc mining difficulty increasing exponentially every day, I honestly think it has 6 digit potential. With it being able to keep increasing the decimal point, the price doesn't really have a ceiling holding it back as long as the concept works.

here's a few Derby Matchups I like. at RB and SB (some of them, RB odds better on most I think) and probably elsewhere. wouldn't go crazy on any of them probably 0.5u-1u. should at least make things entertaining especially trying to find the full order of finish later on
Thunder Snow -140 over Untrapped
Hence -135 over Thunder Snow
IRAP -125 over Thunder Snow
IRAP -140 over Untrapped
Soneteer -120 over Untrapped
Gunnevera +135 over Always Dreaming - this one is more due to line value. Always Dreaming very well could win this thing but I think he may run into some trouble and Gunnevera will be coming late and has a good chance to pass him if he doesn't get a good trip
J Boys Echo -120 over Girvin (Girvin has had some foot issues...cant recommend a full on fade of him but I like this matchup)
Hence +120 over Gunnevera - both should come with late runs so i'll take the horse with + odds here
IRAP +100 over Practical Joke - I think the wrong horse is favored
J Boys Echo +120 over Tapwrit
Patch +145 over Practical Joke - no reason Practical Joke should be that big of a favorite over Patch
Thunder Snow -140 over Untrapped

It's amazing how hard it is to find the full order very quickly after the race. They need to get with it.Dan Lambskin said:
