Say what you want about Chris Rongey's updates...they really bring out the funny in this show. They could do this all day.

Terry wants to kick animal activists in the balls. I like it.

I know I should be annoyed by Rongey's laugh...but I love it. It sounds genuine. Goff laughing sounds nervous to me...he's not really cracking up, it's verbal filler.

Anything that gets more drops played is ok with me.

until dan can truely articulate what WAR is and how it relates to team performance... he needs to stop discussing it.

In the past when a caller tried to ask if you add each players WAR does that get you a total team win total.... DB response: I dont know

Well dan, if you get that excited over a players WAR, maybe you should have an idea what WAR is beyond the basic definition of wins above replacement level. Or you could stick with the tried and true critique where you yell "HE'S COSTING THEM ___WINS"

Of all of the new age stats WAR seems by far the most made-up. Did the White Sox do something to Dan? He delights in their demise. He's the definitive sell-out.

How could he not know this? The answer is "no", because the "wins" in WAR are only estimates of what a theoretical team of AAAA players would do in an MLB season (or comparable time frame), and how much better they would be with Player X replacing one player in their ranks, or how much better Team Y is as a whole. WAR itself is a decent predictor of team performance, with an r-squared of .74, but it's nowhere near a 1:1 comparison.

Image

It's meant to be a context/league/park neutral way to discuss player values across teams, leagues, and eras. A +4 WAR player could have meant as many as 5 or more actual wins to a team, or he could have actually cost them a couple of "real" games.

This was a good thread right up until Bernstein was introduced into it. I'd almost turned on the show.

Dan just announced that he has a family concern and has to leave!!!!!! He said he's sure everything will be OK but has to go to make sure.

TERRY is taking over solo. Which I'm sure means that Drinky will jump in to help him out!!!!

I hope everything is OK with Dan's wife and/or the kids.

For a guy who pretends to be a doctor for five hours each day, he sure is getting a lot of mileage out of the "Dr. Hawk" bit.

Did Dan just find out his wife has been cheating on him with ICE GIRL? :shock:

Like I thought, drinky jumps in to co host. Drinky just said everything is gonna be fine with Dan's family. So it's OK to joke about it. I'm guessing a car accident where nobody was hurt. But he has to pick them up at the hospital cuz they went there out of caution.

Somebody call up the show with some stupid sports thought. Tell the producer the stupid sports thought. Then, when you get on the air, drop in a "Sorry to hear about ICE GIRL, drinky". Let's see if drinky can get to the dump button before it get's on the air.

i assumed it was a twitter threat to Dan.... specifically a tweet threat that only Dan Bernstein would be able to perceive to be a threat and that a normal person would read and shrug their shoulders. some would say that is karma from ripping on hawk leaving the booth


as much of a fake turd he can be on the radio, I do hope his family is ok
