| On to Athens! Your Name Here 22:16:12 |
| | Yeller Jackets will travel to Athens, GA to play Louisville at Foley
Field. We have played well there the only time we visited (11-1
thrashing of the Bullfrogs), so things are looking up.
Still feel like we were rooked out of a hosting spot, but facing a
"real" national seed- not the "joke" #8 seed Bullfrogs -would have been
rougher sledding.
We'll see how it all shakes out Friday. We are peaking at a good time
hitting-wise, but our pitchers will have to step up. Still a very
winnable regional.
I know Boyd will be proud of the seedings in our regional_super- they
follow the precious "ISR" ratings perfectly.
ISR RPI
(1) *North Carolina St. (38-20) 42 12
(4) James Madison (38-17) 81 60
(3) Charlotte (43-14) 72 50
(2) South Carolina (38-21) 43 19
(1) *Georgia (35-21-1) #8 National Seed 31 17
(4) Lipscomb (32-28) 146 151
(3) Louisville (41-19) 74 51
(2) Georgia Tech (39-19) 33 7

| Annual bracket whine Tony Lima 21:50:49 |
| | Give me a break. Arizona State the #3 national seed? Did
the committee bother to look at their opponents? Guess
"strength of schedule" hasn't filtered into baseball yet.
At least Fullerton at #5 beat some decent teams.
And which unranked team took five out of six from those two
teams? Well, at least we're hosting a regional. - Tony

| RC/25 Introduction (5/24) Nelson Lu 19:41:16 |
| | The following posts list major league teams' regular position players' RC/25 by
position. Here are a bit of definitions:
RC/25:
A stat created by Bill James to measure how many runs a lineup of 9
of the same individual would score in a game. (The "real" version is RC/27,
since there are 27 outs in a game; however, since certain stats are not readily
available to us during the season, James has an abbreviated version known as
RC/25 to adjust for the absence of those stats. For the formula to RC/27,
please e-mail me. It is also available in Total Baseball and many other
reference manuals.)
A = H + BB - CS
B = 1.125 * 1B + 1.69 * 2B + 3.02 * 3B + 3.73 * HR + .29 * BB
+ .492 * SB - .04 * SO
(Formerly B = TB + .64 * SB + .24 * BB - .03 * K)
C = AB + BB
RC = ((A + (2.4 * C)) * (B + (3 * C)) / (9 * C)) - (.9 * C)
O = AB - H + CS
RC/25 = RC / O * 25
(The reason why HBP, among other stats, is not included is not because I think
that they're not important; it's that the data sources I use do not include
them with the "primary stats," and therefore, adding HBP and other stats would
effectively require twice the work, and the gain, while considerable, was
judged by me to be not worth it in interim reports.)
There are three additional Bill James adjustments that I do not use:
1. He adjusts for BA with runners on base. Originally, the adjustment was
not published; but it has been, in the most recent STATS Major League
Handbook and other sources. I am, however, not incorporating this
change since I have found this change to be arbitrary and also
increasing team-dependence.
2. He also adds additional points for a non-bases empty HR. Again, this
is highly arbitrary -- why not add points for a non-bases loaded
1B, 2B, or 3B? Further, this increases team-dependence as well, which
reduces the usefulness of RC.
3. He then adds up all players' RC on a team and adjusts it in a factor
that is based on whether the team scored more than it is expected or
less. I find that this defeats the point of RC, so I do not use this
adjustment.
PRC/25:
Park-adjusted RC/25. Park adjustment is a topic that I don't know how
to explain well in a paragraph, so I will not attempt to try. However, many
works that explain it are available on the net, and any search engine should
yield a number of useful articles. For these numbers, only this year's park
factors are used.
Value:
An estimate of how many runs a player is above the ever so elusive
"replacement level" (that is, a level of performance at which a player can
easily be found at little or no cost to a team). For these posts, replacement
level is estimated at 50 points of OBP and 50 points of SLG below the average
for each position.
Notes:
1. For these posts, the players who were traded during the middle of the
season have their park factors prorated by AB + BB with the teams.
(This is not mathematically correct, but is the best I can do for now.)
2. Please send to me corrections if I misplaced someone's position.
"SABREmetrics isn't about statistics, it is about the search for new
evidence." - Bill James (thanks, Bill Reich)

| Holey Moley Buzzoli Ravioli!!! Your Name Here 02:58:56 |
| | Yeller Jackets overcome a 7-3 deficit and roll past NC State (and their
pitching ace Surkamp) to take the opener at the Baseball Grounds of
Jacksonville. Haniger's amazing tag saved a run (and nearly started a
brawl) as NC State basically booted away the lead and the game.
We'll take the "W". Next is the 600 pound gorilla U of Miami who
trashed Clemson 7-1. Looks like a great tournament...stay tuned.
From www.ramblinwreck.com:
Georgia Tech Wins 10-9 Thriller Over NC State In ACC Tournament Opener
Yellow Jackets score five in the eighth and two in the ninth for win
over Wolfpack
May 21, 2008
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Georgia Tech scored eight runs over the last three
innings, including two runs without the benefit of a base hit in the top
of the ninth, for a wild and entertaining 10-9 win over NC State in the
opening game of the 2008 ACC Baseball Tournament at the Baseball Grounds
of Jacksonville.
The 3-hour, 50-minute game - the first of four tournament games here
Thursday - saw the two teams combine for 28 base hits, 26 strikeouts, 19
runs, eight errors, three wild pitches, two hit batsmen and four lead
changes.
Trailing 9-8 in the top of the ninth inning, Georgia Tech scored a pair
of runs when three different NC State infielders committed errors on
consecutive plays. Chase Burnette and Patrick Long scored the tying and
go-ahead runs, respectively, on State's third straight miscue, this one
on a ground ball by Jason Haniger.
Yellow Jacket reliever Brad Rulon sealed the win in the bottom of the
ninth inning - but not without suspense. After retiring the first two
batters, Rulon nailed Matt Payne with a pitch and walked Jeremy Synan to
put the Wolfpack in scoring position with two outs. Rulon, however, got
Pat Ferguson to ground out for the game's final out.
"It was a wild game and an excellent comeback from my team," Georgia
Tech head coach Danny Hall said. "I didn't know if we were ever going to
get them out after we took the lead. I thought that Brad Rulon made a
great pitch on Pat Ferguson, who we had a hard time with all day, to get
that last out.

| Boo Hoo- Jackets Lose to 'Hoos! Your Name Here 14:33:33 |
| | It's getting down to cases- Jackets need at least a 0.500 ACC record to
have hopes for the postseason past the ACC tournament. Historically we
blow in Charlottesville- in all sports.
The agony of this loss is that the 9th inning rally ended with the tying
run at the plate on a called strihke three. Gotta beat them "Hoos today
and tomorrow!

Field.
Georgia Tech (36-17, 14-14 ACC) was limited to just six hits on the
night, with Packer (6-2) giving up five while striking out seven to pick
up his sixth win of the season. Andrew Carraway worked a scoreless
eighth inning before the Yellow Jackets scratched for a run in the ninth
off closer Michael Schwimer.
Virginia (36-17, 15-13 ACC) collected nine hits, four of which were bunt
singles, and had runners on base in every inning in the series opener.
The Cavaliers stranded 15 runners on base on the night, including four
innings with the bases loaded.
Packer retired the first eight batters he faced in order before the
Yellow Jackets scratched for a run in the top of the fourth when Luke
Murton doubled and scored on an RBI single by Derek Dietrich. Murton and
Dietrich finished with two hits apiece on the night.
A single to centerfield by Phil Gosselin followed by bunt singles by
Franco Faldes and John Barr loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom
of the fourth before a sacrifice fly by Tyler Cannon tied the game at
1-1. After Greg Miclat notched the Cavs' third bunt single of the
inning, Yellow Jacket starter David Duncan retired Patrick Wingfield
with a strikeout and forced David Adams to ground out to get out of the
jam.

Baseball Drops Series Finale to Georgia, 3-2
McGuire suffers first loss of season despite six solid innings
May 13, 2008
ATLANTA - Nick Montgomery and three relievers combined to scatter five
hits, while Ryan Peisel homered to lift Georgia past Georgia Tech, 3-2,
in the regular-season series finale between the two rivals Tuesday night
at Turner Field.
The sixth Spring Baseball Classic for Kids, pitting the two teams in one
of their regular season meetings, drew 22,599 fans, the second highest
attendance in the history of the event.
The win helped Georgia (34-17-1) avoid a regular-season sweep at the
hands of Tech (36-16). The Jackets had defeated the Bulldogs 9-4 in
Atlanta on April 9 and 11-1 in Athens last Wednesday.
Deck McGuire (8-1), a freshman bidding to earn his third win this season
against Georgia, instead suffered his first loss of the season. He
struggled early but managed to last six innings, scattering 10 hits and
while allowing three runs. He walked three and fanned six, six days
after a 9-strikeout, 0-walk performance in his win in Athens, and left
the game trailing 3-2.
His counterpart, Montgomery (2-1), allowed just two hits, a walk and a
run through five innings. The senior from Marietta, Ga., struck out
three and left with his team ahead 3-1. He had excellent help from the
Bulldogs' bullpen, which scattered four hits and allowed just one
unearned run over the final four frames.

Clemson Avoids Sweep with 16-6 Win Over No. 25 Tech Baseball
Jackets win the series, 2-1
May 11, 2008
ATLANTA - Jeff Schaus collected a career-high five hits and Trey Delk
held Georgia Tech to two runs on three hits through 5.2 innings as
Clemson (26-25-1, 11-18-1 ACC) escaped Atlanta with a 16-6 win over the
Yellow Jackets (36-15, 14-13 ACC) Sunday afternoon at Russ Chandler
Stadium.
The Jackets held the Tigers to just two runs on 14 hits through the
first two games of the series, but Clemson scored 16 times on 20 hits in
the series finale to avoid their second-straight series sweep after
Florida State won all three against them a week ago in Clemson.
Schaus went 5-for-6 with four RBI and two runs scored to pace the
Clemson offense on the day. The Yellow Jackets managed 12 hits of their
own, including three by Charlie Blackmon and two from Brad Feltes, but
couldn't overcome the 10-1 lead the Tigers mounted through the first
five-and-a-half innings.
Feltes narrowed the Tigers' lead to two runs in the bottom of the second
inning when he sent his 14th home run of the season over the center
field wall, but the Tigers answered with seven runs over the next three
innings to push their lead to nine runs.

| RC/25 Introduction (5/10) Nelson Lu 21:50:57 |
| | The following posts list major league teams' regular position players' RC/25 by
position. Here are a bit of definitions:
RC/25:
A stat created by Bill James to measure how many runs a lineup of 9
of the same individual would score in a game. (The "real" version is RC/27,
since there are 27 outs in a game; however, since certain stats are not readily
available to us during the season, James has an abbreviated version known as
RC/25 to adjust for the absence of those stats. For the formula to RC/27,
please e-mail me. It is also available in Total Baseball and many other
reference manuals.)
A = H + BB - CS
B = 1.125 * 1B + 1.69 * 2B + 3.02 * 3B + 3.73 * HR + .29 * BB
+ .492 * SB - .04 * SO
(Formerly B = TB + .64 * SB + .24 * BB - .03 * K)
C = AB + BB
RC = ((A + (2.4 * C)) * (B + (3 * C)) / (9 * C)) - (.9 * C)
O = AB - H + CS
RC/25 = RC / O * 25
(The reason why HBP, among other stats, is not included is not because I think
that they're not important; it's that the data sources I use do not include
them with the "primary stats," and therefore, adding HBP and other stats would
effectively require twice the work, and the gain, while considerable, was
judged by me to be not worth it in interim reports.)
There are three additional Bill James adjustments that I do not use:
1. He adjusts for BA with runners on base. Originally, the adjustment was
not published; but it has been, in the most recent STATS Major League
Handbook and other sources. I am, however, not incorporating this
change since I have found this change to be arbitrary and also
increasing team-dependence.
2. He also adds additional points for a non-bases empty HR. Again, this
is highly arbitrary -- why not add points for a non-bases loaded
1B, 2B, or 3B? Further, this increases team-dependence as well, which
reduces the usefulness of RC.
3. He then adds up all players' RC on a team and adjusts it in a factor
that is based on whether the team scored more than it is expected or
less. I find that this defeats the point of RC, so I do not use this
adjustment.
PRC/25:
Park-adjusted RC/25. Park adjustment is a topic that I don't know how
to explain well in a paragraph, so I will not attempt to try. However, many
works that explain it are available on the net, and any search engine should
yield a number of useful articles. For these numbers, only this year's park
factors are used.
Value:
An estimate of how many runs a player is above the ever so elusive
"replacement level" (that is, a level of performance at which a player can
easily be found at little or no cost to a team). For these posts, replacement
level is estimated at 50 points of OBP and 50 points of SLG below the average
for each position.
Notes:
1. For these posts, the players who were traded during the middle of the
season have their park factors prorated by AB + BB with the teams.
(This is not mathematically correct, but is the best I can do for now.)
2. Please send to me corrections if I misplaced someone's position.
"SABREmetrics isn't about statistics, it is about the search for new
evidence." - Bill James (thanks, Bill Reich)

McGuire Tosses Gem as No. 25 Tech Baseball Stops No. 8 Georgia, 11-1
The freshman worked seven strong innings as Tech defeated Georgia for
the second time this season
May 7, 2008
ATHENS, Ga. - Deck McGuire, one of six freshmen to start against No. 8
Georgia Wednesday night, pitched a gem to lead No. 25 Georgia Tech
(34-14) to an 11-1 victory over the Bulldogs (31-16-1) at Foley Field.
The win was the Yellow Jackets' second this season against Georgia, as
Tech improved to 11-0 against teams from the Peach State in 2008.
McGuire (8-0) iced the Bulldog's bats through seven innings, holding
Georgia to just one run on four hits while striking out a career-high
nine batters to pick up his team-leading eighth win of the season.
Andrew Robinson retired the side in the eighth inning on just six
pitches before Taylor Wood closed out the game by tossing the ninth.
Juniors Charlie Blackmon and Luke Murton paced the Yellow Jackets with
three hits apiece. Both players went 3-for-5 with two RBI and three runs
scored against the Bulldogs. Blackmon, Murton and Brad Feltes all hit
home runs to extend Tech's streak to 16-straight games with a homer. It
was the 21st time this season the Yellow Jackets have hit more than one
home run in a game.
Each of Tech's last nine runs were scored with two outs, including both
run-scoring hits by Feltes, who went 2-for-5 with four RBI in the game.
