I don't have a degree in mathematics,
but when working with integers, isn’t division by zero simply an undefined operation?

its been awhile since calculus
but i think it has to do with limits
the closer you get to zero. ie. .01, .001; the larger the number gets and it approaches infinity
by trgordon723 on Aug 12, 2009 4:33 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
It's been a while for me, as well,
but I believe it depends on what sort of calculations you’re working with. As a purely formal calculation, you can calculate the limit of a/x as x goes to 0 as infinity, but if I recall correctly, you need to introduce an unsigned infinity to make this sort of operation work ~ otherwise it can lead to some funky conclusions. But I gladly defer to anyone who’s taken mathematical and/or logic theory more recently than I have to give a better/more correct explanation.
Anyhow.

Actually, thinking about it a bit more,
since you can’t have negative walks or strikeouts, a/0 = infinity probably works just fine.
So, yah, never mind.

From the 'Fuck, it's nice to have good problems' Department:
What to do when Grillcheese is back off the DL?
If the Nefi we’ve seen so far is real, sending him down would be a felony.
DoMath has been pretty damn nice out o the ’pen.
The only bit of dead weight is Eddie… and I’m afeared he’s too important to ‘team chemistry’ to cut.
For once, we’ll have to have a good reliever do the I35 shuffle until 9/1.

smeh,
I forgot Stevie German- he’s the most likely one down when Grilli’s good to go.
Still, my point is valid. We have a good bullpen.
…would be nice to have a LOOGY that isn’t actually a ROOGY though.

Could we possibly put JJ on waivers?
I noticed he wasn’t the one warming up when Nips was struggling, it was Do-Math. Think JJ has finally fucked up his way out of Wash’s favor?
And screw the waivers, just DFA Jennings and make me one happy Ranger fan.

Hopefully this IS the move when Grilli is ready.

Jenning's low ERA defies his WHIP.
Its just that all the runs that score on his watch are being charged to the pitcher he relieves.

………………….HR/9……………BB/9……………K/9………………FIP…………..ERA
2008………….1.10..(12)……..3.9..(11)………..6.01..(13)……..4.83..(13)…….5.37..(14)
2009………….1.09..(6)……….3.28.(4)…………6.08..(13)……..4.55..(11)…….4.19..(3)
The only significant improvement in the FIP related stats is in BBs. It is also interesting that thier HR rate is the same as 2007 but it has improved greatly relative to the league.

He pitched a rather mundane 17.2 innings for the Indians. He made it to Arlington the next year. There are a few players down in Spokane that I watch. Doyle is one of them.

You should be
Based on the scouting reports: steal in the fourth, ranked as a third-rounder, 4-pitch sinker-ball guy (all solid-average) who could move quickly through the system and has a mid-rotation ceiling. And regarding AdMo’s use of that tired baseball homily: performance really does matter at every level. The significance of his performance thus far is his plus command, which continues a trend from his JR year. Why is that important? He had some command issues his sophomore year so it gives one confidence that his improved command as a JR was no accident and should be an attribute.
