Through all this, I haven't seen the Phillie Phans screaming about what a
great job Richie Ashburn did (does?-does he still announce the games on radio?).
Ashburn is definitely NOT a "homer" (has nothing to do with how few he hit
as a MLB player :). He calls the shots as he sees them, so when he says the
Phils were jipped by the umps on a certain play, you know it really was true
(because he tells you all the times when the opposite happens). He is very
informative about how the players have been performing lately-- including
comments about so-and-so having particular kinds of problems with his swing
or not fielding balls well to his left or having occassional wild spells with
mechanical problems but being otherwise very effective, etc. and is very
informative on the lesser-known players and players just called up from 
the minors. He doesn't have the excitement of a Harry Carey, but you will hear
the game straight-- as it really is-- and you will learn more about the players
tendencies and performances than you will from any other announcer I have 
heard for any team. The above is based primarily on hearing Phillies broadcasts
quite some years ago; I hardly get to hear any these days. Instead I get to
hear Brewer broadcasts with Bob Uecker (sp?)-- I can't stand him; he talks 
about anything *other* than the game and the players performances and
tendencies. It's not unusual in for him not to tell you at all how a runner
got to a particular base-- he will be telling a story during a wild pitch or
errant pickoff or something and all of the sudden the runner has moved up and
he never says what happened.

I totally agree.  If Bonilla had simply said "I'd like to play for
the Mets", Pittsburgh people would have let him go his way.  But Bonilla
insisted on leading on the people by wavering on whether he would re-sign
or not, when he NEVER had any intention of doing so.  Personally, I feel
he is worth good money as a hitter, but tends to be a liability on
defense, not to mention his (and Bonds') failure to show up for the last
2 NLCS playoffs.  My sentiment is that he wasn't ever going to sign with
the Pirates anyways, so let him go.

>it. One has the feeling that if the Pirates came up with enough money,

Agreed again.  Barry Bonds in fact has said he is grateful to Pittsburgh
for allowing him the chance to play full-time right away.  My hope is that
Pittsburgh will see that he is the most complete player in baseball, and
should pay him Bonilla-like money (or more) to keep him.  Hopefully, this
season we will see him in the lineup at his rightful spot - 3rd.

Just to add spice to the thread about the Sox announcers...

I missed most of the opener in Comiskey, but the part I did see would
give most of us a warm, fuzzy feeling inside :)  With the Tigers ahead
by so much, Hawk just wasn't up to his usual theatrics, so I actually
got to see a) a White Sox game with decent announcing, and b) the Tigers
beating the crap out of someone :)

I don't know if anyone mentioned this or not, but during the Monday
game between the Blue Jays and Yankees, Tom Mees was talking about how
Toronto was a great city (no argument there) and finished by saying,
"and that's what makes Toronto one of the great cities in America."

Did he really say this?  I tried to follow the next couple of innings
closely, and no one said anything about it, so I'm not sure I heard 
correctly...

   OK...here is the top 10 list of players with the most career homeruns
 who never hit 30 or more in any season:     (* = active)

Al Kaline         399
Brooks Robinson   268
Joe Morgan        268
George Hendrick   267
Brian Downing     265*
Vada Pinson       256
Ted Simmons       248
Roberto Clemente  240
Robin Yount       235*
Gary Matthews     234

  A surprising number of players fail to qualify because of one season
in which they hit exactly 30 homeruns...among these are Dusty Baker,
Gus Bell, Yogi Berra (two seasons), George Brett, Ron Cey, Doug DeCinces,
Del Ennis, Mike Epstein, Sid Gordon, Bobby Grich, Rusty Staub, and Richie
Zisk.  Others with one good season of: 31 - Sal Bando, Felipe Alou, Jim
Bottomley, Rico Carty, Tommy Henrich.  32 - Ken Boyer, Larry Doby (two
seasons), Rick Monday, Tony Oliva, Bobby Thompson.  33 - Steve Garvey,
Bobby Murcer.  34 - Dolph Camilli.
  Current players who could move into top 10:  Tim Wallach, Rickey Henderson,
Harold Baines, Kirk Gibson.
  Players who just missed top 10 (the 200+ club):
Bill Dickey       202
Bobby Doerr       223
Ron Fairly        215
Buddy Bell        201
Bill Freehan      200
Oscar Gamble      200
Richie Hebner     203
Chet Lemon        210

Al Oliver         219
Bill Skowron      211
Gene Tenace       201
Bill White        202

  I think I have thoroughly exhausted all info on this topoic.  If anyone

I very seldom see Harry on TV and I get tired of hearing about Joe McIdiot,
too.  He calls the middle three innings on WGN-AM radio, however, and I think
he's a much better radio announcer.  Furthermore, he does a 2-3 minute
recorded interview with the manager at the beginning of the broadcast, and
he really does ask the tough questions.  Every Cubs manager "on the bubble"
has had to think up some sort of evasive answer to Harry asking them whether
they were going to be fired soon.

I'll remember the next time I try to put out facts to be prepared for the flambeau.

Another Wrigley Field thought comes to mind: Doesn't it appear strange that former
Cubs pitchers seem to do well after they've left Chicago, and that really good pitchers fall flat on their faces when they don Cubs pinstripes? Mike Morgan's performance last night vs Pirates is an example. Over the last decade or so, guys like Rick Reuschel, Scott Sanderson, Dennis Eckersley, Craig Lefferts, Lee Smith, Bruce Sutter (though that's stretching a bit) and so forth have hit career marks when they left the Cubs. Likewise, Danny Jackson, Dave Smith, and, outside of 1984, Rick Sutcliffe have had 



mediocre seasons in terms of W-L. 

I hope leaving Three Rivers will help the Cubs. It seems that PGH is the ultimate pit for them lately. 2-15 or so since 1990? I'm going to like the STL series. Maddux vs Olivares Friday, with Castillo and Jackson to follow. We should take two out of three, unless Jackson turns in another strong performance or the defense plays like it did Tuesday night.

It's games like last night which make me thankful that the ESPN exists to take away local coverage WED nights. 

Happy Easter, everyone!!!

     This is actually a bold prediction, in a way:  .574 would be
the worst regular season winning percentage for the best team in
baseball (best during the regular season) in the history of major
league baseball.  I think *some* team will have the talent or luck
to win more than 93.  Still, an interesting idea in times when
there's supposed to be a gap between the "have" teams and the "have-
not" teams:  more parity than ever.

Does anyone have any statistics on hand of Gary Sheffield's major/minor
league career? What was the situation with the Brewers that prompted the
trade for Rickey Bones? It seems by their trading of 2 minor league third base
prospects for pitchers, that the Pads feel Sheffield is the man; or that
developing pitching is more important (which I think is true). Looks like the
infield will be pretty solid judging from the first few games -- a good number
of double plays and few errors....and Kurt Stillwell certainly seems to be the
full time man for 2B.

Thanks for the help...

Well, Marty said the other day that Chris made comments about how he
wished there was a 6 day DL, but Marty seemed to indicate that though
Chris is jogging he needs the additional week.  The impression,
however, was that he should be ready not too long after he is eligible
to come off.

Re: the comment above about Sabo's return being more important than
Dibble's, I beg to differ.  Until the last three games, my biggest
concern was Charlton's tendency to give up a homerun as the first
thing he did in the 9th inning.  Now, he has done okay the last two or
three, but those first couple of appearances last week really had me
worried.  I'll be glad to have both of them back, they say Dibble may
pitch in SF this weekend.

Griffin played 6 years in TO, 3 in OAK and 4 in LA.  Toronto, a defending
champion, just reacquired him.  These 3 organizations are 3 of the most
successful in the game.  Are you implying that they don't know what they

Alfredo Griffin is reported to be a really nice guy, a positive influence
on the bench, in the clubhouse and on the field - if not at the plate.

Making him the butt of your little statistical jokes shows a complete
lack of respect for a man who commands a lot more respect from his peers
than Tony Fernandez.  Ask the players if he made a "measurable" contribution.

I am very impressed with the quality of almost all of the analysis given
to the Red Sox/ Blue Jays position comparisons.

The only major complaint I have is one that others have picked up on as
well, and that is the fact that Jody Reed is consistently underrated by
most people outside Red Sox circles to the point of disbelief.

I believe there were separate comments that Reed is either average or
below average defensively.  I'll be the first to admit he's no Alomar,
but I can't think of anyone else in the A.L. who clearly outclasses him
in the field.  He's got above-average range, but it can be deceptive if
you don't watch him a lot, and he had a strong arm even when he was a
shortstop, which makes it way above average for a 2B.

If Reed ever gets off to a good start, people will begin to recognize
his offensive numbers, too.  (Not that they end up shabby, anyway.)  I
believe I saw on ESPN some outrageous stat like Reed's being in the top
10 all-time in doubles per AB, and everyone ahead of him was already in
the Hall of Fame.  Did I hallucinate this?

As for other 2B in the A.L., perhaps Whitaker and Franco are better than
either Alomar or Reed for pure offense, but Franco is usually rated as a
poor defensive 2B.  For an up-the-middle position, I personally
emphasize defense much more heavily in ranking the players.  Whitaker's
recent power groove gives him serious credentials, but he doesn't even
play vs. LHP anymore, and age has slightly diminished his range, as
well.  So perhaps the order of all-around ranking should be
approximately:  Alomar 1, Reed 2, Franco 3, Whitaker 4.

Subject: Offense/Defense: 50-50 split?
Date: 7 Apr 92 20:49:14 GMT
Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder

At various times on this newsgroup, I've often read that offense and
defense are equally important, since every run which is scored is also
a run given up.  However, I have begun to question the validity of
this 50/50 split.

(Just to make it clear, by defense, I mean both pitching and
fielding.)

I was thinking about my slow pitch softball team the other day.  I'm a
pretty good hitter, but only fair on defense.  I started wondering how
bad I have to be in the field (at 3rd base, say, rather than catcher)
in order to negate my offense.  I decided I'd have to be pretty bad.
Because in softball, the offense essentially controls the game.  If
everyone on the team can hit a line drive every time up, it doesn't
matter how good the defense is; the team is going to score runs.

Now, in softball, a run scored is also a run allowed; however, I don't
think that offense and defense are equally important.  It's probably
about 75/25 or higher.  So why should it be 50/50 in baseball?

Another thing which got me thinking is the fact that pitcher
performance (e.g. ERA, or opponents OBA or SLG, but NOT wins) is not as
predictable from year to year as batting performance is.  If defense
were more in control, I'd expect pitchers to be more predictable.

How can this be measured?  How can the exact split be determined, if
at all?
