I am trying to expand the stats and websites I look at for baseball day in and day out now that I am following it pretty closely again. I look at fangraphs and hardballtimes are there any other recommended places to read and follow? I recently discovered the baseball-reference blog this year but there is not enough content there at all for me.

Familiarity with playing a certain position. You get used to where you play at on the field and feel comfortable there. Moving from 2B to SS or vice versa changes the angle that you see the ball, field the ball, and throw the ball. Too many variables to screw a guy up.

edit: Totally misread that question because someone was talking to me. But yeah, what he said.

How well do streaming radio broadcasts normally sync up with MLB.tv?

I'm probably going to buy MLB.tv for the post-season, and I already subscribe to At Bat for the local radio broadcasts, so it would be awesome if they worked together well.

If you are watching the game on a computer you can do an audio overlay of the radio broadcast.

You also have the stadiums in San Diego, San Francisco, and Los Angeles (Dodgers) that are effected by the weather in those areas that just kill offensive numbers. San Francisco and San Diego's stadiums are also extraordinarily large in the power alleys.

San Francisco actually plays neutral to hitter's park; this year it has been an extreme pitchers park, probably because of the team's makeup (unless they changed something I'm not aware of); if you go back a couple of years its multiyear park factors shoot up.

I thought it's neutrality was hilariously effected by Barry Bonds' monstrous seasons and it's been steadily becoming more and more of a pitchers park. But I guess their superb pitching would have something to do with that.

Yeah the DH is pretty much optional. There have also been instances of line up cards being filled out wrong and AL teams losing their DH.
