that Miggy finally cracks 40 homers?

Very good chance (and without sacrificing that batting average).

I should've known you'd be the first person to reply to this. lol

He's on pace to finish with 39.

That would kinda suck, I want him to break Sheffield's club record of 42 or whatever it was.

If anything, he could do it next year.

Well, that was also going by per-game average. He's hit a lot more after the all star break, and would finish with 44 HRs if he keeps up the pace he's done in the second half.

If we get back up to .500+ is this the year that a Marlin(Hanley or Cabs) wins the MVP?

Nah, it's against the law for any marlin to win such an award.

and what's astounding is Miguel's numbers keep getting higher & higher each season.

I could just sit here drooling all day looking at Cabrera and Hanley numbers. It's really unbelievable what a couple of amazing talents we have, and I hope we spend some money in 2008 and beyond so as not to waste a once in a lifetime thing.

Niiice.

Miguel Cabrera is no longer at All-Star status...He has achieved Super-Star status! Pujols has moved aside in the consideration for best NL player. to share it with Cabs

As of now he's projected to hit 40 even. I think he can do it if he doesn't enter a long slump.

 

 

He has 29 in 115 games (Or, one every 3.9655172413793103448275862068966... games).

 

There are 43 games left.

 

If he plays in every one, 43 / 3.96... = 10.string (round down so string is regardless).

 

29+10=39

 

If you'd rather use projected over PA, it's the same deal.

 

497 / 115 = 4.32... PA per game

43 * 4.32 = 185.string PA's left in the season

497 / 29 = 17.13... PA between HR

185 / 17.13... = 10.string HRs

Not getting into a dispute, simply correcting a statistical fact. You're looking to far into what I posted.

 

If I posted something that was false (As in, a factoid, not an opinion which really has no right or wrong), I would want to be corrected. That's how we learn, as a race.

 

From the looks of things, ESPN rounds up when they shouldn't.

Seriously took like less then a minute, just simple arithmetic. Not like it took some long ass time to calculate and post an overview.

 

And I wouldn't have even bothered but I had already done the math earlier in the night when the tread was posted, so when you posted a conflicting value I double checked my work to see which was right and which was wrong.

Looking back I have no problem with the MVP winners. There is no conspiracy thing going on against the Marlins. No Marlin has ever really earned that award over any that actually got it. And I doubt it happens again this year. I don't think any player has gotten it while leading (or near leading) the league in errors at his position. Hanley may come the closest of the two, but only if he wins the batting title while becoming a 30-30 player.

They way he's been playing in the second half, I think this the best shot he's had yet and I say he closes the deal and gets 40.

 

Him and Hanley are really give this year some year meaning despite much of the rest of the club not dong much.

You're annoying.

 

You must be either in high school or early years of college.

497 / 29 = 17.13... PA between HR

185 / 17.13... = 10.string HRs

 

However, Cabrera's hitting more home runs in the 2nd half. He has 11 HRs in 30 games. If he keeps up that torrid pace, he'll eclipse 40.

Oh, and Miggy told me on MySpace that he might hit 40 :lol

Seriously he did. I asked him and he said maybe.

Swears.

Your argument has nothing to do with arithmetic. You chose to round down. Someone else chose to round differently. And so there is a discrepancy based on those choices. You are correcting nothing, only telling someone else that you don't think they should be rounding. And no one cares.
