Weekend Chum Bucket
Half of the weekend has already come and gone, so this would probably better be labeled the Sunday Chum Bucket. But old habits die hard and this one is no different. So welcome to the Weekend Chum Bucket.
Not much is going on today, the Fins are in Jacksonville. The Heat are in Tennessee to play the Memphis something or others. Check your local television listings for the time.
You might want to checkout the sky tonight around midnight, there is another meteor shower going on and this one is big time better than the others have been. The peak was last night, but it is still going on. Assuming it isn't all cloudy and is somewhat dark, you should see about 2 meteors a minute. Or at least, I did last night until dodging debris being thrown at me just didn't make it worth the effort. Maybe your neighbors are somewhat nicer than mine.
This is the usual Chum Bucket where you can feel free to address any topic you desire. Baseball is always good but we don't limit ourselves to that. Palm reading tips, requesting the donation of television sets for your annual bowling for televisions (depending on your mind set, that may or may not mean what you think it means), how to talk clearly with a stocking over your head is always a much needed skill. Really, most anything is good.
But most importantly, Have a Great Sunday!

something we already knew..
What does this mean? Well, if a player has a wOBA of .353, and league OBP is .330 that year, the player has produced an average of 0.02 runs above average per plate appearance. If that player had 600 PA that year, he produced 12 runs above league average.
As you might expect, league MVPs Albert Pujols(notes) (.449) and Joe Mauer(notes) (.438) led the majors in wOBA by a considerable margin. Hitless wonders Yuniesky Betancourt(notes) (.271) and Emilio Bonifacio(notes) (.277) were the worst.
Using the formula above, we can determine the approximate number of runs above average each player produced. (This stat is also known as wRAA and is tracked on FanGraphs. My calculation below is approximate because the scale factor of 1.15 can change from year to year.) Since the league OBP in the NL was .331, and the league OBP in the AL was .336, that means that Pujols produced approximately 70 runs above average while Mauer’s output was approximately 54 above average. Bonifacio and Betancourt, meanwhile, were both more than 20 runs below average."
Boni is a hitless wonder!
Send this on to the FO
Maybe they’ll begin to listen if we bombard them with physical proof that Bonifacio blows…

What time is the meteor shower supposed to start?
