ASB Random Statistics!

by scottnak on Jul 14, 2008 9:35 PM PDT

Hello there fellow HHers. Hope the Homerun Derby was exciting to watch (... well, I guess the end was a bit of a letdown...) But nonetheless, I bring you with a present... to make the people happy with some random stats to play around with.

On my trip down from Berk, I wrote up a program to tabulate attendance (in terms of Pregame Picks Participation) and cross reference it with your latest cumulative results [Read: Sunday's games are NOT included]. Giving you a PPG ratio. This ratio could be utilized as WHIP is I guess... (yes, I will give myself that much credit!)

Page 1 lists everyone in NAME order.
Page 2 lists everyone in PPG order. Of course, playing less games will push you up in the ratings and I've also pruned those who have NOT played at least 20 games. I used a (very) arbitrary rating scale of stars. Every 20 games played earns you an extra star.
Page 3 lists everyone in STAR order, followed by PPG order in your respective ranking.

Play around as you wish, or not at all. So have fun!

And if anyone would be so kind to help me out and tell me what time is good to getting to a game and seeing some batting practice (and where the best place to view 'em) would be would be nice! [Planning for the Monday 7:05p game]

Prehaps

My latest thought was seeing the difficulty factor on each game, see the trends on that… though I’ve yet to figure out how to accurately do that. Maybe I’ll figure somethin’ out. Hehe.

Nice Work.

Batting Practice starts and the Home Plate gate both open 2 hours before first pitch.

I went with my roommate when Detroit was in town a while back. We had seats in the Lover View so we couldn’t hang out in the infield seats, but we found that a good place to hang out is by the bullpens.

I'm not sure if this still works

but when the Diamond Club was exclusive you could make reservations for before the game, and they’d let you in to the Diamond Club before the general public. That’s the only way i’ve ever seen the Angels take batting practice in Angels Stadium. Now that the Diamond Club isn’t exclusive you can try asking them about reservations and if it indeed lets you in the park early.

thanks

thanks man ….. that was interesting. Safe to say that if i would have not missed so many games in beginning i may have been in the lead.

love the PPG

and it’s interesting how nobody’s even “batting .500” in the game, so to speak. it kinda makes it just a tiny bit like baseball itself!

stats...my head hurts...stats

must…find…something…....intangible….

nice job. I have no idea how to read where I rank….but it LOOKS impressive and I’m sure there are a few guys on this site who just got their jollies off on those charts

If you want to catch a BP ball...

bring a glove and hang out by the foul pole in left field. It’s usually pretty easy to snag one.

Assuming you can get a spot

It’s usually pretty crowded out there. The RF pavillion seems to be a better shot at getting one, from my POV.

Angels fan since '67

Yeah, but...

If you are taller than 5 feet it’s pretty easy to catch a ball. It’s all munchkins out there!

by Higz on Jul 15, 2008 2:23 PM PDT up reply actions

And that's where the pitchers hang out.

Justin Verlander was signing autographs when I was there.

Scottnak you are a such a panther

Estupendo! Fantastico! Thanks Scott!

Well done ! Bravo! I have been wanting to see Points Per Game stats for the past 1 1/2 seasons.

If you had included a 10 to 19 games played category Roger would have been in 6th place with 1.6875 PPG in 16 games played. Roger has a huge lead over me:

Roger 1.6875 PPG
Yetijuice 1.2459 PPG

Yes, the PPG is more accurate with more games played. Something like 75% to 80% of games played should be the minimum requirement for the PPG batting title.

I thought that there would be OPD questions for the All-Star Game, but I do not see any. Roger is taking the NL and over 8.5 runs scored in the game (combined scoring for both teams). I am taking the AL and under 8.5 runs scored in the game.

Perhaps we will see you at the Monday night Indians @ Angels game? We do not show up until about 15 minutes before game time.

by Yetijuice on Jul 15, 2008 3:40 PM PDT reply actions

Perhaps!

Seems like a longshot though. My friend is the one who got the free tickets, so its up to her to figure it out. But If you happen to see me around, my avatar shows who I am… haha.
I’ll be the one in the Angels shirt ;)
