      Yesterday Amazon's S3 service had an outage that lasted about six hours. Unsurprisingly this has led to a bunch of wailing and gnashing of teeth from the very same pundits that were hyping the service a year ago. The first person to proclaim the sky is falling is Richard MacManus in his More Amazon S3 Downtime: How...

Outfield Guns Version 2007

Posted on January 8, 2026 by davidbloom

It was last season we first came across Arms in Outfield:

five different situations when an outfielder’s throwing ability comes into play: Single with runner on first base (second base unoccupied), Double with runner on first base, Single with runner on second base, Fly out with runner on third base, fewer than two outs, Fly out with runner on second base, fewer than two outs (third base unoccupied).

They’re back! The Hardball Times release they’re 2007 version of this metric. What was interesting to me is Upton and ex-Ray Delmon Young showing up on the top of the list. Again, just like last year Soriano is surprising near the top. He just can’t get much respect with his glove, but he again is solid. On the bottom side, Barry Bonds once considered one of the best left fielders in the game in the bottom fold.

Btw, what is this baseboogle thing?
