Monday, November 15, 2010. Why Buster Posey Winning the Rookie of the Year Feels So Right. I hate to compare players or situations from different sports. I think you're really overreaching mainly because different sports have different aspects and qualities. It basically becomes comparing apples to oranges when you compare a Giants team with a Warriors team. Baseball isn't played with the same emotion or physicality of basketball. So why compare the two, right? So we gotta give it to him! FYI, would have...

Remember '51 - An often biased look at baseball and the SF Giants: August 2010
http://remember51.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 13, 2010. The Pros and Cons of the Jose Guillen Trade. Well, it's official. Jose Guillen is a Giant (I got the e-mail from the Giants' Web site, and usually, that seals the deal in terms of "officialness"). I can't explain my feelings in one or two tweets. This has been a long time coming, ever since June when the Royals were rumored to be in talks with the Giants in terms of trading Guillen. Pros of Acquiring Guillen. Now, I know fans will say "His WAR is Higher! Probably not. However...

IN THE SHADOW OF BONDS: Maybe there is some magic left inside!?!
http://intheshadowofbonds.blogspot.com/2011/05/maybe-there-is-some-magic-left-inside.html
Saturday, May 28, 2011. Maybe there is some magic left inside! The second game after "the incident" regarding Buster Posey had Giants fans, and probably Giants players, fearing the worst. After all, it had been 18 innings since the Giants had scored a run and Shaun Marcum was dealing. They were proven wrong in the 7th when the Giants loaded the bases against Marcum and the guy who was taking only his second major league AB showed that the magic is still there if you look hard enough. Maybe there is some ...

The Prince of Slides: Advanced sab-R-metrics: Parallelization with the 'mgcv' Package
http://princeofslides.blogspot.com/2013/07/advanced-sab-r-metrics-parallelization.html
The Prince of Slides. Sports. Statistics. Economics. And a naive junior faculty member pretending to know more than nothing about something. Thursday, July 18, 2013. Advanced sab-R-metrics: Parallelization with the 'mgcv' Package. Carson Sievert (creator of the really neat pitchRx. Package) and Steamer Projections posed a question about reasonable run times of the mgcv. A while back, I posted on using Generalized Additive Models instead of the basic loess. Package in R to fit Pitch F/X data. Is that it u...
