Anyway, as many of you know, tonight's opposing pitcher Max Scherzer has some of the best raw stuff in the major leagues. As many of you may not know, he's also somewhat of a stat geek.
Personally, I think it's inevitable that this kind of stuff becomes more frequent as the next generation comes up. Using all possible resources to maximize your understanding of the game, and yourself, is critically valuable. A few pitchers are already using Pitch F/X to their advantage, and with Hit F/X on the horizon, I wouldn't be surprised to see that used as a significant tool as well.

In what has turned out to be both good and confusing, Jamie Hoffmann is apparently back with the Dodgers for good.
Less than 48 hours after being Designated For Assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers, Jamie Hoffmann resigned with the Dodgers early Friday morning.How did all of this get mixed up?
"They said that my being designated for assignment was only a business decision," he said. "They are trying to win the World Series this season. They told me that they really have some plans for me - that was proven in their contract offer. They wanted me to stick around with the Dodgers."
He said that he is not back on the 40-man major league roster now because that can't happen until next May.
"That was part of the deal also," Hoffmann said, "but hopefully I can get back on that 40-man roster as quick as possible."

By the way, if you care (don't), i'm finally ditching the ESPN account that I used to post on the boards there. Why? Threads like this.
It was recently bumped by somebody there, and it was hilarious for me to look at it in retrospect. I don't think it's hard to guess which poster is me.
