Comment on Second exhibition game at Marlins Park by julianptan

When I searched “Marlins Park”, your Google+ post about this came up just below the fold. Neat technology – especially since I am not on Google+ yet, but it still showed me ‘personal results’ anyway.

Definitely one of the advantages over Facebook, since I was actually searching for pics of the new stadium, and who wouldn’t prefer to see those pics from someone within their circle vs a stranger.

In other news, your comments (and most of the other neat widgets in existence) don’t work in IE8.

Comment on Would you give digital books this holiday? Why not? by otherdeb

The books you mention all sound great, but I have a small suggestion — given how everyone is trying to save money lately, make sure Overdrive is downloaded to the device you are giving so that these may be borrowed as ebooks from the library.

One of the nice things about Overdrive is that it lets you browse libraries other than your local one.

Thanks!

Hm, the Rally Squirrel and the Rally Monkey will have to go on an offseason barnstorming tour of US petting zoos together, now.

That RallySquirrel must be damn tired.

What a game …..

Nice recap!

Comment on SABR 41: Day two, a panel and more research presentation by Cecilia Tan

We had a research presentation at the SABR convention in Cleveland, I think it was, that showed there is not significantly more roster change now than in any earlier decade, actually. I will try to dig up the notes from it…. If it was Cleveland my notes are mostly on paper, unfortunately, because my computer died on the way there…

Hi Abby! What you may not know is that Vince is a HUGE Yankees fan. HUGE. So never assume what people’s motivations are! He wouldn’t have mentioned Jeter at all, probably, otherwise!

Cecilia, I think you are behind the times regarding player movement. While it it is true that player movement didn’t increase in the early years of free agency, that ceased to be true sometime in the 1990′s.

It was nice meeting you at SABR 2011! (Felt a little out numbered as a Yankee fan, esp. when Gennaro said at that historic moment, “Jeter hit 3,000, now we can all move on.”) Enjoying your site.

[...] Gennaro then presented his new Starting Pitcher Rating System. Not everyone was impressed with his efforts, but it’s a work in process that I found interesting. (Read more about it and the other Saturday panels here.) [...]
