More photos » by Charles Rex Arbogast - AP Browse more photos » Ever since I have seen and used Pitch F/X data, I have been trying to grasp the difference between the umpire-called strike zone and the textbook strike zone. The official rule book definition of the strike zone has changed over the years. Since 1996, the offical definition according to MLB is: "The Strike Zone is that...

NEW YORK | Matt Hoffman has done everything he can for his son. The boy has a Zack Greinke jersey, Royals batting gloves, and even a little brother named Gordon. There is a ball in the house with five or six autographs from Royals players. But Kiefer is no dummy. He’s 6 years old, and really starting to understand the game. He knows when the infield should play in, when the runners should...

Coincidence? Forbes.com recently unveiled its 2009 version of " America's Safest Cities" based on statistical measurements of violent crime, traffic deaths, deaths in the workplace, and distance from natural disasters in the forty largest metropolitan areas in the United States. They might have considered "sports fan quality" in an effort to save time, but if "violent crime,...

Sadly, Kansas City doesn't have somebody like Hugh Hefner to throw a sexy Halloween party with hotties and celebrities . . . So my celebration with local politicos, newsies and C-listers will have to suffice. The average d-bag won't be able to make it into a TKC party so I've decided to post a few highlights featuring the more easily recognizable guests. Here goes: First of all, it was hard to pick...

This analysis of the attendance patterns of the 2009 Kansas City Royals looks mainly at 2 things: Zack Greinke and promotions. I break down promotional giveaways and non-promo days, and the ZG starts are broken down as well into separate categories for promotional giveaways and non-promo starts. Attendance is also broken down by day, and then separated into promo and non-promo days. The averages for...

Kansas City School District security guards will once again carry firearms and even the most rabid gun rights advocate couldn't argue that this is a sign of progress. Guns to keep students in line at KC schools is a good thing just like Kirstie Alley's short lived weight loss. Guns to keep students in line at KC schools is a good thing like the relief of getting a curable STD. Guns to keep students...

A few weeks ago, Max Marchi wrote an article for The Hardball Times analyzing pitchers' fastball velocity trends throughout the year. Last year on THT , Josh Kalk developed a preliminary aging curve for fastball velocity. Both Marchi and Kalk used pitchf/x data, which began being recorded reliably back in 2007. I decided to try to more or less replicate their studies, except using Baseball Info Solutions...

USA Today: Kansas City Royals pitcher Zack Greinke has been named American League Pitcher of the Year by the Major League Baseball Players Association. Regulars on this blog know the score . . . This is a marketing stunt that's not doing the guy any service. Very much like David Cook, Zack Greinke's popular appeal has elevated him beyond his ability. All of those impressive stats of yet another great...

The local blogosphere runs deep with inquiring minds who not only question the status quo but are also pretty good at predicting the future . . . Sometimes. Here are the two latest examples of KC bloggers throwing out ideas before big media: Nick Sloan asks: Should The Royals Trade Zack Greinke? TKC: Of course, not only because it's inevitable but also because at this point he's nothing but hype. KC...

Mike Leach and Zack Greinke are arguably the best quote machines in sports Add another in Leach's tally. "As coaches, we failed to make our coaching points more compelling than their fat little girlfriends," said Leach. "For one thing, their fat little girlfriends are telling them what they want to hear, which is 'how great you are' and 'how easy this is going to be.'" "As...
