Duffy on the mound, has to turn the corner tonight. But the pen is well rested.

[cosmo20002]

Good news:
Here is a chart I put together of our net wins. You can see why I said this was a breakout game. We broke through the +9 level which had been acting as resistance. Additionally our support level moved up to +8 games over .500. Meaning in the near future we shouldn't break down below +8 and if we do then we are most likely heading for a losing streak.

But the momentum is obviously to the up side. Since +9 had been tested 3 times and now we finally broke through it, it should signal a stronger winning streak. At least that is the stock market\technical analysis take on the matter.

Duffy on the mound, has to turn the corner tonight. But the pen is well rested.

Duffy had better have his shit together tonight. If he can't give us 5 innings of 2 runs or less, baseball then I'd say he is on a track headed back to the Pen. He has until Vargas gets off the DL because the way Young is pitching, the odd man out at this point is Duffy.

And that's saying a lot considering Vargas and Guthrie have had 1 and 2 good games, respectively. If Duffy can't out pitch either of them, then we have to send him to the Pen until he gets his head on right, again.

Is there any way you could come up with a graph to make your point easier to understand?

Can you further explain this chart?

Really? That's the best you got? A poor attempt at tacking onto the "4 posts in 3 years" guy?

I was actually being serious. I don't quite understand how it relates to anything.

[petegz28]

I was actually being serious

Sorry, I didn't think you were by the tone of your posts in the other thread. If you are serious I will explain the concept to you as long as you understand it was just having some fun at looking at our season thus far from a different perspective.

Have at it brah.

[KCUnited]

Does anyone have the updated Petecota projections?

[petegz28]

I was actually being serious. I don't quite understand how it relates to anything.

Okay, here is the concept....

Technical Analysis in the markets attempts to weed out the "why's" for the most part and look at behavior of price. In this case, price is net wins. So you approach it from an aspect of not caring who you are facing, who was pitching, etc., just flat out, what was the net result.

Now the significance of our win last night, according to the chart, is that we broke out of a channel to the upside. This tends to clear the way for more upside or signify momentum to the upside. Another thing that would play in the favor of more upside is the double test of +8 before breaking through + 9. Think of it as a spring loading up. The longer you channel the stronger the breakout will be or breakdown if it goes the other way.

Now other interpretations could be this is a peak, of course, this isn't a crystal ball. And what could also happen is say we lose tonight, which would test the new support level of +9 and ideally go on to win the next few games. So generally speaking, unless this is a peak and we are heading for a downtrend, this is showing that our momentum is picking up and we hopefully will be seeing ourselves at +12, +13 in the near future. That would mesh with some of the internals like, Duffy coming back to being more consistent (hopefully), players coming off injury and suspensions, long home stand ahead of us, etc.

As I stated in my original post, this is a "stock market\technical analysis" view. It's just having some fun and looking at the season thus far slightly different than we are used to doing with sports.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Well that's certainly interesting. You've got a pretty good squad, so I could easily see them maintaining their current win percentage for the season. It's a long season though so peaks and valleys are sure to come.

[lewdog]

Oh well sure. This is just having some fun. The chart breakout is for short term direction anyway. Of course, if this team is going to win 90 games they have to work themselves up to +18 at some point.

[lewdog]

Not sure I am making this one. Either because I'll have a heart attack or be dead in a car crash. Teaching the wife how to drive the Mustang today. Soiled pants are a for sure though.

When you take out things like opponent, stats, and the like, I expect any chart to trend towards 162 wins, as playing against an empty field ought to be pretty easy.

so # of wins above .500 isn't a stat??? :hmmm:

so if I took the same stats on cleveland you think their chart would trend towards 162???

yeah, you might want to re-think your post a bit

cleveland is -8 but i am sure that's in the direction of 162 wins ...right?

When projecting wins? No. How many games above .500 is entirely irrelevant to whether or not you win the next game.

[petegz28]

When projecting wins? No. How many games above .500 is entirely irrelevant to whether or not you win the next game.

entirely? no....but i agree to an extent

If you are projecting x wins you have to win y number of "next games"

you can't project 90 wins and always lose the "next game" after a win

additionally you are overlooking the momentum factor the chart attempts to predict......

Good bye good luck.

Sure seemed from the crowd shots last night there weren't many YankMe fans out there. For the last 20 years, the fans were like 50-50 or something close.

So I put the Cleveland #'s together and guess what, you're wrong...

I don't see how this is trending towards 162...

And if you notice, every time they broke support they continued to lose more and more games......

[suzzer99]

Pete, the stock market is a conglomeration of supposedly rational actors acting as much on what each thinks the other is going to do as fundamental data. Baseball outcomes are a weighted random walk which have exactly zero input from what other actors think the team is going to do. Therefore any basis for TA, which is highly debatable even in the stock world, is complete nonsense in baseball.

Please tell me you get this. I thought you were just making a clever joke in the other thread.

Don't worry if Ellsbury scores here. Long game.

He will settle down in the 2nd inning, not worried about that either. trust my intuition

A little high on pitch count on the first, but getting out with 0 runs is good. Hopefully he's turned the corner.....

Yup. Getting a little choppy.

[Dartgod]

broadcast messing up for anyone else?

Yep, same here.

[penbrook]

Duffy sucks

[bsroyals54]

Is it the weather?

[Hootie]

Ok he didn't use the slide step there ... good

[Dartgod]

Still tipping his pitches ... watch

What's he doing?

[SPchief]

WTF was that?

[PHOG]

That's the second time I've seen that he has almost tripped out of the delivery! WTF!!

[LoneWolf]

Sweet burn dude. That will cost you a few bucks the next time you are my waiter.

How original. The old "you wait tables and I'm rich" comeback.

Who are you again?

[petegz28]

ump not being very kind that's for sure

[baitism]

Duffy needs to lose the neckbeard.

[bsroyals54]

Texeira needs to shave that ferret off his lip as well

[Dragonocho]

Danny Duffy has a million dollar arm and a $1 head. He won't last like this until he figures out how to be himself in this league.

[Hootie]

What's he doing?
Up until A-Rod he was using a slide step for every off speed pitch and full step for fastballs

[baitism]

How original. The old "you wait tables and I'm rich" comeback.

Who are you again?

Sorry, didn't mean to hit so close to home.

[tk13]

I wonder if Duffy feels like he's not controlling the offspeed stuff out of the windup.

[C3HIEF3S]

Sweet.

[petegz28]

duffy is such a mental midget

[baitism]

AAA is calling...

[Misplaced_Chiefs_Fan]

Please tell me we have a long reliever we can get in there if need be . . .

[penbrook]

I hate Duffy

[PHOG]

:deevee: :facepalm:

[Dartgod]

Good grief.

What the fuck is his problem.

[penbrook]

Please tell me we have a long reliever we can get in there if need be . . .

Yep Joe Blanton

[Blankey]

I'd rather see a pitcher put the ball on a tee than fucking walk everyone

[Dragonocho]

Duffy has a mental block. There's no way that talent doesn't deliver without his mind getting in the way.

[Hootie]

Ol Duff dog is gonna go have to work this out in Omaha it looks like

[-King-]

Jeez. Is James shields the only guy that could get Duffy under control?

[petegz28]

well in all fairness the run that scored was put on by the ump..that being said duffy put him on 3rd

[bsroyals54]

I'm blaming the James Shields effect too, Duffy wouldn't have a beard if James was still in KC

[penbrook]

At least Duffy is throwing a no no

[Hootie]

We can score off CC just keep it at 1

[Hootie]

At least Duffy is throwing a no no
Kinda funny

[petegz28]

fuck.....dude has got to get it under control

[bsroyals54]

Duffy works out of bases loaded jam, much like Chris Young

(Except he didn't strike them all out)

[Great Expectations]

Duffy got screwed on that walk

He isn't getting any of the calls on the black. Of course when you aren't hitting spots consistently the border line calls go against you.

[LoneWolf]

Sorry, didn't mean to hit so close to home.

Yeah, OK.

I'm just glad the Royals, unlike every other team in baseball, don't play day games in the Spring. I work the lunch shift at Olive Garden and I wouldn't get to watch.

[Misplaced_Chiefs_Fan]

Wow. The fact we got out of there with only giving up one run is amazing

[eDave]

Dumb ass Royals. Why don't we play Saturday day games? We will be lucky to get this game completely in.

Past your bedtime kid?

[tk13]

Duffy still yelling at himself.

[Coach]

Given how shitty that went, lucky to only give up 1 run. A few 6-7 pitches would help....

[Hootie]

Wow. The fact we got out of there with only giving up one run is amazing
Amazing?

[Meatloaf]

Send Duffy to Omaha....maybe he can figure out how to pitch down there.

[lewdog]

Yeah, OK.

ROFL

[Dragonocho]

Duffy with all the talent in the world almost left baseball to be a priest. i just wonder how comfortable he is in a MLB clubhouse.

[PHOG]

Put some runs up boys, so maybe Duff can relax and work some kinks out...he's got less than 40 pitches to do it.

[stonedstooge]

HAHA OMAR WITH A LEADOFF SINGLE HATERS

[lewdog]

The dreaded super long camera shot of the Buck O'Neil seat. So uncomfortable.

[bsroyals54]

Omar sucks

[Coach]

Appears the Infante is in today. Better than the Outfante so far.

...did he really?

[baitism]

It's amazing how many people on here don't get it. If you are running a business, you want to market to as many people and demographics as possible. By playing day games you get a younger crowd. Families, kids, etc. This franchise desperately needs to lock in the younger generation of fans because they have a huge gap in their fanbase from people about 15-30, who only remember the Royals being terrible. Playing some day games is just good marketing.
