1. The Anthony Kennedy of BBTF (Scott) Posted: July 08, 2007 at 03:46 PM (#2433548)That about sums it up for me.
teh baseball PLAYERS looking at stats ON A COMPUTER. i mean, george just might could find out about OPS+ and what it means. HORRORS!!!!! the world coming to an end. dogs and cats LIVING TOGETHER!!!
better not let plaschke and his little friends find out about that
and anyhow, isn't sean PROFESSOR forman
Except the part about going to the gym, I bet that sums it up for far too many of us.
that's nuttin'; in 1975 he was 12-14 against him
if you include the postseason, he was 591/611/897 against Figueroa in 54 PAs
pwned
Sean's on a leave of absence and working on b-r full-time now.
Barry Bonds's OPS against Kevin Tapani was over 2.000 in 28 plate appearances.
Well, my point was about NOT MAKING IT to the gym.
on the other hand, Brett was 1-23 lifetime against Rick Sutcliffe
did you know that, of all players with 70 or more PAs against Bob Gibson, Buddy Harrelson had the 4th best OPS?
(and Richie Hebner OWNED Bob Gibson--go figure)
Because Gibson buried Hebner early on...so he returned the favor.
Aaron vs Koufax 1957-61: 475/544/898 in 68 PAs
1962-66: 259/310/407 in 58 PAs
vs. Odalis Perez
.111 .226 .148 (31 PAs)
vs. Horacio Ramirez
.250 .308 .250 (26 PAs)
vs. Tomo Ohka
.229 .229 .343 (35 PAs)
vs. John Thomson
.200 .243 .257 (37 PAs)
vs. Dustin Hermanson
.214 .267 .286 (30 PAs)
meanwhile, vs. Chris Carpenter
.565 .600 1.087 (25 PAs)
Also odd, both Abreu and Pat Burrell have done better against Carpenter than against all but two other pitchers (minimum 20 PAs).
ARod vs Roger Clemens: 377/400/604 (60 PAs)
(and check out Bonds vs Mike Bielecki)
I. Am. Kicking. Myself. For. Not. Doing. This. Sooner.
It's worth the money, if you thought the free stuff was amazing (and it is) wait'll 'til to see what's behind the curtain.
Get the full Forman experience. The man is a friggin' genius. It's cut down the time I do research and analysis by 60-70% easy.
You'll be doing yourself a favor. No, Sean's not paying me for plugging him. It's like you found an amazing pizza joint. You tell everyone to try it out.
There is one drawback, you will feel a strong desire to kick this whole "sleeping" habit.

With the output of work Sean does, I think one could reasonably conclude he is on performance enhancing drugs.
Also, Dan. I'm not on a leave. I've resigned. That boat has been burned.
See you all at SABR. B-R is actually getting a table this year. I'll be ordering some B-R merchandise tomorrow.
Apparently Sean's not here to talk about the past either.
I hope you know how much the world of Baseball stats appreciates your work. As a college professor myself, you resigned a position to work on B-R? Wow! I will go ahead and subscribe now just so you get compensated for your great work.
Thanks again.
6-20, 2 doubles. No walks or strikeouts.
and Richie Hebner OWNED Bob Gibson--go figure
Because Gibson buried Hebner early on...so he returned the favor.
Is this a joke? Because Hebner was a grave-digger in the off season in Norwood, MA.
Of course...
In the immortal words of Digger O'Dell..."I've covered a lot of ground today."
It's even worse than that. I got tenure and then quit. :-) I think it's going to work out, but the parents on both sides aren't quite sure what I was thinking.
I just want it on record that I visited Baseball-Reference before it was popular among Hall of Fame third basemen.
Double wow!
Good luck to you, Sean. The in-laws are watching...
BB-Ref, on the other hand...
I don't mean anything by this, but it's fun to sit and imagine my own professors sitting on message boards and communicating to people like this. I can't imagine accidentally getting into a conversation with a professor of mine on BTF or something. I wonder if that happens.
edit: Concerning matters that are actually, yknow, relevant, being a college student and carrying the accompanying financial hassles I haven't subscribed to B-Ref, but now that they've got up-to-date in season stats it's become the only resource I have to consult concerning the numbers of baseball. It's wonderful and I love it.
My thoughts exactly. Sean is going to leave behind a legacy in the world of baseball (not hyperbole) the way that Alexander Cartwright and Bill James did.
He's created an online Disneyland for baseball lovers.
It all started with a mouse.
Again Sean: thanks for your hard work. The subscription was money very well spent.
Best Regards
John
It all started with a mouse.
I didn't know Sean Forman was a White Supremacist.
Please sponsor a page or subscribe to PI. I vow to refrain from posting in any none baseball related threads or stirring up trouble until August 10th, if 10 people subscribe or sponsor between now and the end of the week. If 10 people don't I will be three times as unbearable.
Yes, this is blackmail and of course Sean has nothing to do with it considering he is a paragon of virtue.
To sum up:
By supporting BR you not only support the best site on the web. Not only do get access to a wonderful wonderful service or great advertising. BUT you also can get me to shut my big fat mouth for an entire month! As the MasterCard commercial says Priceless!
