Fun With Histograms: Saving The Best For Last

Fun With Histograms: Saving The Best For Last

By Chris Quick on February 8, 2010

Warning: This post turned out much longer than I expected. Playing around with BB-Ref’s great Play Index Tool (PIT) this morning got me thinking about Barry Bonds and his last season in 2007 where he hit: .276/.480/.565 at 42-years-old. Yes, that’s a four-eighty OBP. /sigh Bond’s last season in the majors was memorable. He broke [...]

The Beauty That Is Juan Uribe

By Chris Quick on September 8, 2009

Before this season started, I quipped the following when the Giants signed Juan Uribe: If Juan Uribe makes the team, speculation is that he’ll earn about $1M for his services. That contract is paying him like he’s a .25 WAR player, which is about right. I don’t like Juan Uribe as a player but I [...]

Conquering The Cards

Conquering The Cards

By Chris Quick on July 1, 2009

Two games into a four game series, the Giants have already won two against the St. Louis Pujolses. I mean the Cardinals. Calling them the St. Louis Pujolses isn’t meant to be an insult, but being a Cardinals fan and getting to watch Albert Pujols for an entire season has got to be a lot [...]

Wednesday Plot

Wednesday Plot

By Chris Quick on March 11, 2009

After working on the Fred Lewis post some, I got to thinking about how the Giants ranked over the last 10 years as a team in BB%. BB% is simply BB/PA or how many times per plate appearance a batter draws a walk. League average for hitters has tended to be between 8-9% in recent [...]

Historical WAR: Bonds vs. Mays vs. McCovey

Historical WAR: Bonds vs. Mays vs. McCovey

By Chris Quick on March 5, 2009

I’m borrowing (stealing) an idea from my fellow blogmate Sky Kalkman over at Beyond the Boxscore. Attached below is a line graph showing the career production, in terms of WAR, for Barry Bonds, Wilie Mays, and Willie McCovey. (Historical WAR numbers gleaned from BaseballProjection.com) Note: Since the win values only go back to 1955, Willie [...]

Giants Baserunning Scores 2007-08

Giants Baserunning Scores 2007-08

By Chris Quick on February 20, 2009

A quick post today on Giants baserunning from 2007-2008 using Baseball Prospectus’s Baserunning Report tool. We’ll be using EqBRR or Equivalent Base Running runs. It’s the sum of five different baserunning skills translated into runs. Here’s BP’s definition: Equivalent Base Running Runs. Measures the number of runs contributed by a player’s advancement on the bases, [...]

Where Have You Gone Billy North? (A TTO List)

Where Have You Gone Billy North? (A TTO List)

By Chris Quick on February 3, 2009

You’ll often hear a baseball player referred to as a “Three True Outcomes” hitter. Players like Rob Deer, Adam Dunn, and Russell Branyan are a few classic examples of TTO hitters. Each one of these players are either going to strike out, walk, or hit a home run in the majority of their at-bats. Thus, [...]

Best and Worst Giants’ Defenders 2002-2008

By Chris Quick on December 17, 2008

A quick post this morning on the defense from 2002-2008. Thanks to FanGraphs for making bUZR publicly available. I’ve really had a lot of fun looking through the data. I decided to use bUZR from the years 2002-2008 to find the best and worst defender on each Giants team in each year. My criteria was [...]

Bonds Indicted

By Chris Quick on November 16, 2007

Not much to say, other than Barry Bonds has been indicted today on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. I might write more on it later but to be honest, I’ve been watching way too much ESPN today and I already feel burnt out on the topic. Regardless of my opinion of Barry, I [...]
