Red Flag: Josh Vitters on Plate Discipline
2009-11-06 06:09:00 If you are a Cubs fan or a prospect geek (and I expect that you are if you're reading this), you may have read some of Tom Carkeek's recent pieces in the Tribune about Cubs prospects in the AFL. I was reading his newest feature on Josh Vitters, which just went up, and was most of the way through when I read a quote from Vitters that elicited a double-take."I'm not going up there looking for a walk," he said. "If I see a good pitch and I can drive it, I'm going to swing. It's not a problem at all because I don't strike out a lot."I'm sorry Josh, what was that? You don't want to take walks? Was...
Plate Discipline Correlations for Pitchers.
2009-09-23 09:37:00 I decided to go back to researching pitcher strikeout correlations today, which has been one of my favorite topics of research lately. Now that I have MINITAB, I can generate this stuff a little easier. The interface is nice as well. So, here are a few graphs and correlations. Again, same rules as before: qualified pitchers from 2008. Today we'll look at some strong correlations and the regression equation I produced for projecting strikeouts. First, here's the graph for actual strikeouts versus the regression equation. It's R-squared is .84. It was generated using Fangraphs.com's plate discipline statistics. There are a few interesting points. The two I liked most were the highest expected strikeouts (C.C. Sabathia: .2659 exp. K percentage, versus .2455 actual K%) and the highest actual strikeouts (Tim Lincecum, .2399 expected K%, .2858 actual K%). Lincecum's outlandish strikeout totals make him an easy pick for an outlier or a player with substantia...

Kate Gosselin, Discipline & Caregivers
2009-09-09 22:20:00 Earlier this summer Kate Gosselin was in the news for getting caught on camera spanking her daughter, Leah.Apparently, Leah kept blowing a whistle while Kate was on the phone. Kate lost her temper and smacked the 5-year-old right on the behind.This is causing a big controversy on the blogs, but rather than getting lost in the debate, we want to use the firestorm to bring attention to the idea of discipline and how it relates to babysitters and nannies......
Obama Promised Fiscal Discipline, Delivered Fiscal Recklesness, Lost the Go
2009-08-24 09:18:00 Perhaps, I belabor this point overmuch; I’ve been saying it for nearly four years now.

And given that Republican profligacy, no wonder that “during the Bush Administration,” as Byron ...

MSM helps reinforce Democratic Party discipline,Rewards Republicans who Bre
2009-02-16 01:08:00 In January 1997 when I worked on Captiol Hill and Newt Gingrich was up for a second term as Speaker of the House, we received word in our office that one TV network (as I recall it was NBC) would feature on its evening newscast (and/or its Sunday talk show) any Republican member who voted against the Georgian’s reelection. In other words, the supposedly unbiased network would reward any dissension from GOP unity with free air time. As I read Jim Hoft’s post on what he terms the “Double Cross” of the three Republican Senators who voted for the Democrat’s spendthrift “stimulus” package, I wonder if Ā the prospect of favorable media treatment impacted their decision to buck their party (and their principles). Ā By turning on their own party, Republicans almost always earn the accolades of an otherwise hostile (to Republicans) news media. No wonder, as Jim observes: At those critical moments, when Democrats need party discipline, they are unani...

Is there any church discipline in the C of E?
2008-06-15 00:56:00 The Telegraph reports, "Male priests marry in Anglican church's first gay 'wedding' By Jonathan Wynne-Jones, Religious Affairs 15/06/2008An Anglican church has held a homosexual "wedding" for the first time in a move that will deepen the rift between liberals and traditionalists, The Sunday Telegraph can disclose.Two male priests exchanged vows and rings in a ceremony that was conducted using one of the church's most traditional wedding rites ? a decision seen as blasphemous by conservatives.The ceremony broke Church of England guidelines and was carried out last month in defiance of the Bishop of London, in whose diocese it took place. News of the "wedding" emerged days before a crucial summit of the Anglican Church's conservative bishops and archbishops, who are threatening to split the worldwide Church over the issue of homosexual clergy.Although some liberal clergy have carried out "blessing ceremonies" for homosexual couples in the past, this is the first time a vicar has ...

Maintaining Employee Discipline and Performance
2008-05-29 14:33:00 Employee discipline is always a necessity for any growing business. Poor disciplined employees are poor to learn, poor to tune and poor to perform. The worst thing is that one indiscipline employee can make your workforce undisciplined, can destroy the quality of service/product, can harm the reputation of the company and can cost you high. Here are some tips for maintaining employee discipline in a company.Set achievable goals and standards. Warn the employee when ever his/her performance is not up to the standards/targets. Ask employees ?why they fail?; solve the problem - if it can be solved. Make necessary actions to prevent the reoccurrence of a problem. Educate employee(s) why the problem is a problem and what he/she get if he repeat/continue with the problem. It is good to ask employees to give solutions for a problem; and implement the solution through them. This makes them responsible. Make sure that your comments and directions hurt employee?s personal feelings, we can mak...
