R-E-P-S-E-C-T

For the record, it’s spelled “McAnulty.” And for the record, Paul McAnulty hit a pinch double in this at-bat despite the wardrobe malfunction. Much repsect to Eric and Anthony for catching this in the IGD.

First-Half Grades: Third Base

Apologies for the continued absence of comments, archives, etc. I’m banging on as many doors as possible but to little effect. It’s really weird not being able to hear what you guys have to say about stuff. And when I say “it’s really weird” I mean it stinks. I have no idea when things will [...]

Friday Links (7 Jul 06)

Several folks have asked about the recent Baseball Prospectus Pizza Feed at Petco Park. This wasn’t a media event and the handful of bloggers in attendance were asked to keep stuff off the record, so there’s not a lot I can tell you beyond what Gaslamp Ball has already mentioned. They’ve pretty much covered it [...]

Overcoming Mistakes of Reason

Several weeks ago I noticed a book lying on a buddy’s desk at work. He’s a pretty thoughtful fellow, so I figured if it was worth his time, then it just might be worth mine as well.

Spare Outfielders

We know that Dave Roberts is in left, Mike Cameron is in center, and Brian Giles is in right. But what if Roberts or Cameron gets hurt (I don’t even want to think about the other possibility)? And even if everyone stays healthy, the starters will need a day off once in a while. What [...]

Top 10 Prospects Up at Baseball America

Thanks to Richard B. Wade for the heads-up in Monday’s comments that Baseball America‘s Padres Top 10 prospects list is now available. I’m preparing a lengthy post for Wednesday morning that has nothing to do with this, so I can’t comment much other than to say these names look a lot better than what we’ve [...]

2005 in Review – Left Field

If you enjoy a train ride, you can leave Solana Beach just before 7 a.m. and arrive at Santa Barbara in time for lunch. If you go on a Sunday, you can eat an excellent brunch at Eladio’s, just a few blocks from the station, toward Stearns Wharf. Then you can walk around the beach, [...]
