Stacey had mentioned it before but there's a pretty cool site called wezen-ball.com that has what they call a 'Tater Trot Tracker." It, as you can deduce, has kept track of the time of the time around the basepaths for each and every homerun this season. David Ortiz held the record and (thanks Stacey...) the second Luke Scott pulled up lame on his totally Birdland bomb last evening my first thought was "I wonder if he'll walk slow enough to beat it." He did.

Here's the story:

http://www.wezen-ball.com/tater-trot-tracker/tater-trot-tracker/luke-scott-pulls-a-hamstring-during-home-run-trot.html

Batting Average

.290 (4th place)

On-Base Percentage

.376 (1st place)

Slugging Percentage

.471 (6th place)

Doubles

24 (2nd place)

OPS

.847 (4th place)

And now to the ugly stuff...Pitching.

Earned Run Average

6.33 (26th place)

Home Runs (allowed...obviously)

21 (Last in the League)

Hits Allowed

110 (Last in the League)

Runs Allowed (Last night didn't help)

69 (ooOOOooo sexual! Last in the League)

WHIP

1.77 (29th...edged out only by the 0-7 Nationals)

Using Bill James' Pythagorean Win-Loss Model, our current winning percentage  based on our runs scored and runs allowed should be...

.406

...meaning our record should be between 3-6 and 4-5. Of course, it's very early in the season and, before last night's game the numbers said we should be 4-4.

Just bored in my Baseball and Statistics class. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did...call me tomorrow and we can get lunch? I'd love to post again with you sometime...if you want to.

I think i'm going to make a trip from North Carolina for Easter and I really think Saturday's Rays game would be lovely to attend. Anybody partaking in the Orioles Magic against the defending AL Champs?

Slash anybody got tickets they wanna sell me for face? Haha
