Quote: Buzzard" I grew up in Baltimore late 1960's listening to baseball on the radio, very few games on TV."
I grew up in Baltimore also. When the Orioles had a 10 time All Star 3rd baseman, who would up in the Hall of Fame.
Holds record of the fewest strikeouts for a batting champion (13).
And his name was nor Brooks Robinson.
Was a junior oriole 1968, For a small membership fee, got tickets to 12 games.
Only 9 years old and parents simply dropping me and my friends off at the stadium and picking us up after the game.
we had a blast, unsupervised at old Memorial stadium. Bleachers packed with all the junior orioles. Very few if any parents.
we were all over that stadium, those were the days.
When somebody doesn't believe me, I could care less. Some get totally bent out of shape when not believed. Weird. I believe very little on all forums

Defensively, I agree. But winning a batting title and only striking out 13 times is unreal. The guy who finished second that year, had won the title the previous 2 years. A hint, after his death, his body was frozen cryonically.
Shed not for her
the bitter tear
Nor give the heart
to vain regret
Tis but the casket
that lies here,
The gem that filled it

All of him, his son is frozen too. So they can be together again later on.

OK. I had thought that it was Ted Williams, but I thought that only his head was frozen. I'll look it up later. Thanks.

So I presume you were speaking of Ted Williams. I was mistaken in thinking that it was just his head that was frozen. Apparently, they had separated his head from his body, but froze both.

Quote: steeldcoterapined, I have a feeling that he'll be gone this year. One of the offers for him will be too attractive to turn down.
Well, I was right, Price is gone. What astounds me though......is that it seems that the Rays got very little for him.

Is your algorithm agnostic as to roster changes like this? And on major moves on everyday (non-pitching) players?

I dont know much about the players that they got but it does not seem to be enough. Local reports are that the Pirates offered more but they were in the way of prospects and they wanted more major league ready players.
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.

DrawingDead, the stats in the most recent games are more heavily weighted. So, I think, that after a few games, the hitting stats will end up being taken into account.

GWAE, yea, it truly seems to me to be a bad deal for the Rays. Supposedly, they terribly wanted that minor league shortstop that they got in return. I dunno. We'll see. Conversely, I think that the Tigers got a steal. Say good bye to Scherzer, but I really think that they should be getting rid of Verlander.

Just to show how phenomenally bad my timing was........
Win rate has been 45.22% on in excess of 300 picks this year
Average Return on a win (based upon 100 wager) has been +151.12
Had I not changed the wager size, I would be up +4,260 on the +130dogs and I would not have been out of pocket ANY cash since the 1st. week of the season
It is true.....timing is everything.

So I guess that what I am saying is that the algorithm works. I just need to add a more systematic way in which to determine when to increase the size of the wager.

Dbacks traded away two regular starters on Thursday, and just lost goldschmidt yesterday to a broken hand. They replaced all of these players with rookies. How does your algorithm take that into account?
