Results up

Not many hits today alas in our game either.

scottnak - April 19, 2009 reply

not to nitpick or anything......

but on the spreadsheet……in the total number of people played it says 77………………..but if you add up the numbers on who scored 1 and 0 points…….it equals 78…….

Weird.

the excel file on my computer has the number of 0 point scorers as only 52. whereas its 53 online.
Something must’ve gotten warped in the transfer. (Maybe counting an empty square as 0)
shrug

scottnak - April 19, 2009 reply

not that it really matters either way........

just letting you know…….keep up the awesome work!

quick correction

Hey just like norcaliangel fan, I’m not meaning to nitpick, but I picked MIN to score 3 runs, and didn’t get the point…. Thanks, I appreciate it

SMUangelFan - April 19, 2009 reply

You didn't comment.....

You must comment in the pregame thread. Submit your picks, AND put your picks in a comment.

My Fault

That was my fault, I was submitting my picks from my phone, and could not comment….

SMUangelFan - April 19, 2009 reply

then you need to put that in the comments for Scott to have mercy on your pickages

Catch-22?

Clutch - April 19, 2009 reply

no, just keeping the lines of communication open for him

he understands road blocks. I have a BB and can’t post on HH either.

IMPORTANT: If you cannot use the form [google.com is down, your workplace has banned googleForms, etc.] you must CLEARLY NOTE IT and post your picks in the comments. Otherwise I will glance over the post, thinking you didn’t read the instructions.

for your reference

Ah. I see what the problem is

When you use HH on the phone, you get redirected to a mobile version.
Thing is, when you’re in mobile-HH you can’t post a comment.

I know on the mobile version, there’s a link to go to the full version, which might be able to let you post? I’m not sure, I haven’t tried going that route on a mobile yet.

Unfortunately I can’t think another way around it yet… see if the above methods help… There must be a way you can find a computer otherwise I hope?

Shoot me an email: (my screenname) at gmail if it proves to be impossible or something.. we’ll work something out hopefully

scottnak - April 19, 2009 reply

yes, on BBs you can view but not post on HH but since you are using Google docs, it is accessible

Yeah, just irony

He can’t post a comment because was on the BB when posting picks. Yet in order to qualify, has to comment that he can’t comment. Funny! :-D

Clutch - April 19, 2009 reply

maybe it can be squeezed in next to your name, ie ladybug mobile

and scott would know it was a mobile post?

I've done the same thing

I’ve tried submitting my picks from my mobile phone as well because a lot of days I’m gone from the computer all day until after the game starts. You can use the google docs form just fine from the mobile version of the website but SB Nation still doesn’t have a way for comments to be made from a mobile phone. Also the full version of the website does not work well (at least for me) over a non-iPhone. Since then, I’ve just tried to do my best to get to the picks before I get as long as they’re posted early enough.

turs12 - April 20, 2009 reply

scottnak: Not sure if I didn't click submit on the form, but I didn't see my name on the spreadsheet

I picked 6-11 and 4-10, which would have got me 1 point. Here’s the LINK to my picks in the comments.

Not sure if this is why the numbers don’t add up. And if I was a bonehead and didn’t submit the form, no worries — I’ll take the zero.

Big Easy Halofan - April 19, 2009 reply

do they have to use a trampoline to get in that thing?

dang

They must have a spring in their step.

I blame Soth for the loss.

Anyone that Q should A be playing RF while B hitting 3rd in the lineup should be taken to a mental institute.

Also I’m glad to see Fuentes get so much work in high leverage situations in this series. I mean the Angels are paying him how much and hit sat in the bullpen against the Twins top two lefties with the game on the line with 2 outs in the 8th. Soth might have ruined the whole season with that decision.

MH252525 - April 19, 2009 reply

its not exactly Soth's style to bring in a closer when behind in the 8th inning....

hasnt done it before IIRC and probably wont ever do it……

He’s just trying to bide time until he can get a healthy club again……and one that doesnt have a heavy heart.

Lose

according to Fangraphs

Figgins is the worst, followed by rivera then howie. But i dont think it takes defense into account, which really pushes Howie to the top

there is tons of stuff fangraphs doesnt take into account......

which is why I rarely use it.

And tons of stuff it DOES take into account...

Maybe too much

i find it extremely usefull as long as you know what your looking at

from a purely offensive run expectancy matrix (with how the result happened not taken into account) figgins was the worst, and howie third worst. Obviously there is alot of noise, such as looking awful and defense, which can vary greatly from game to game, making single game stuff inconclusive some times, but with a larger sample size it becomes much more accurate and useful

how is figgins the worst?

aybar?

WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!?!?!?!

aybar is second best

1-2 with a BB

Aybar was on base 2 times today....

while Figgy went 0-4 and GIDP……..

so…..I could see how that makes him worse than Aybar

oh for just today

thought you meant season

WTF did he do?

When I last saw it was the 3rd inning, we were winning 1-0

howie?

3 K’s and frankly they were all jokes of an at bats. didnt cover first on a bunt and gomes got a free pass. bobbled a double play that resulting in a run. then had an error that was ruled a hit for some reason. howie is not good at baseball currently.

Thank you, man was I confused...

LOSE

This pic should only be used for losses to the M's.

It’s the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

red floyd - April 19, 2009 reply

I figured the collapse of the bridge is symbolic of the collapse

of our bridge from starter to closer aka middle relief

thick

That bridge is an engineering ethics case study

The Angels are a roster construction case study

Carl Johnson - April 19, 2009 reply

it's safe to say

that this has been the worst month ever. seriously, if we get out of this month at .500 it will be a miracle

NW angels Fan - April 19, 2009 reply

September 1995 takes some beating

The Limey - April 19, 2009 reply

Can't beat September '95 in any April

I don’t care how high your expectations are.

AlanFalcon - April 20, 2009 reply

Luckily I decided to sleep in and not watch this one

Sounds like it was awful

stolenbases - April 19, 2009 reply

Loux was good....

Abreu was good…..

thats about it.

Thanks for the summary

Glad that Loux pitched good

stolenbases - April 19, 2009 reply

Jepsen was good because he did'nt pitch today.

Mathis didn't play catch with center field

baby steps

Shit

he actually threw someone out too. Huge surprise!

angelskid2210 - April 19, 2009 reply

questionable call tho

but gomez should have been off the base paths anyways because he was picked off and called him safe 5 minutes earlier.

I think the first tag just nipped the jersey

But I also think the umpire guessed. And that it hardly matters anymore.

AlanFalcon - April 20, 2009 reply

Wow acuda

Predicting the no-hitter for Loux. Wish that would have worked out. Think of the stories one could tell.

matthiasstephan - April 19, 2009 reply

was gonna say

wow, pretty optimistic

And...

14 runs on 25 hits for the Angels…
