Posted by: Dave Studeman April 03, 2008Don Drysdale Scouting Report by Branch RickeyJust in case you didn't see this yesterday, Dave Rouleau at Baseball Digest Daily unearthed an early scouting report of Don Drysdale by Branch Rickey (Rickey was working for the Pirates at the time). It's great reading. There's also a good Q&A about the document at Baseball Think Factory.Posted by: Dave Studeman January 24, 2008Rich and BusterRich Lederer and Buster Olney have been debating the Hall of Fame qualifications of Jim Rice in an open manner, swapping points back and forth in their blogs. You can read Rich's latest post, which includes a fair rendition of Olney's arguments, at his blog. Their willingness to continue their debate in the open air of the Internets is valuable for all of us.Now, I'm as sick of the endless Hall of Fame debates as anyone, but something in Olney's argument stopped me from working on the THT Season Preview for a couple of minutes to investigate something he implied: that Rice shouldn't be held accountable for his relatively low OBP because people didn't "know" that walks were so valuable when he played. This implies a number of things that bother me. One, that a player like Rice could dramatically change his batting approach based on sportswriters' expectations. Two (and more importantly), that the game was somehow "different" back in the 1970s and 1980s, and a different set of skills was required to be successful. I'm not sure Olney meant to imply either point, but I think they're both wrong. Yet I was curious as to his primary point: that teams and batters value walks more than they used to. If true, then might batters be walking more than in the past? That would seem to reinforce his point, wouldn't it? So I did a little digging... Click for more... Posted by: Dave Studeman May 28, 2007Video Game BaseballThe Mariners lack of plate discipline has been mentioned before, but I am wondering if I just saw something historic. Leading off the top of the 7th inning of Monday's game against the Angels, here's the transcript:Lopez 1st Pitch 1B Suzuki 1st Pitch 1B Vidro 1st Pitch 1B/FC Guillen 1st Pitch SacFly Ibanez 1st Pitch FC+Err Five consecutive batters put the first pitch in play. So what is the record for most consecutive batters to do that? I don't know, does someone out there? Posted by: Matthew Carruth Click here for more THT Notes. |
