    An important distinction.

    So do RBI's, they suck too. And the use of OPS is a good indicator of the flaws inherent to incomplete stats, that's why they created OPS+, which moon says did not need refining. Clearly it did.
  3. Dipre
    Because it's a sample issue. I'm not going to go on a deep dive regarding an issue that is common sense. CERA: 1) Doesn't control for pitcher quality. 2) Doesn't control for standard deviation because of the varying sample sizes. 3) Doesn't account for quality of defense, which may vary on any given night. 4) Doesn't account for umpire tendency, which can greatly impact CEra on smaller samples. 5) Doesn't account for park factors. There are more advanced stats that measure the impact of all of this factors, one way or the other, for pitchers. Even more advanced metrics like catcher framing are inherently flawed. You can't use those as gospel, because they have fundamental flaws, so why would you use CEra, a worse, less complete statistic, to measure a catcher's worth? I jus don't see it.

    I also think Wong is clearly a better defender and overall player than McGuire, but CEra is terrible.
  5. Dipre
    On my own suppy

    Those all come from upstairs. In-inning though, when things crater, may be something else. But they have specific sequences to tunnel pitches and attack hitters a certain way with significant anticipation to game time.
  7. Dipre
    Chaim trades for Verlander and Scherzer. Book it, dude's a high roller.
  8. Dipre
    Max, you really need some improvements on your segue game.
  9. Dipre
    With clear instructions from the analytics department. Catcher lays down the sign, but they give him a chart of what to call.
  10. Dipre
    India has legit proven that he sucks.
  11. Dipre
    Don't forget Duran and Yoshida.
  12. Dipre
    Catchers no longer call games.
  13. Dipre
    He was clearly joking.
  14. Dipre
    And have not been all season, and likely won't be.
  15. Dipre
    The Angels, in an honestly worst position than the Sox, struck first and got Giolito.
  16. Dipre
    Man, this lineup would look real good with a healthy (and productive) Story.
  17. Dipre
    It's SSS central and doesn't account for a number of factors. It's bad, and everyone who quotes it should feel bad.
  18. Dipre
    So Kluber is cooked.
  19. Dipre
    CEra is terrible.
  20. Dipre
    So you're saying they have a plan and are executing it, looking to build a sustainable contender not constrained by a bloated payroll? Quite a novel concept.
  21. Dipre
    Bloom doing Bloom things.
  22. Dipre
    Oh. So he's not just an overpaid DH?
  23. Dipre
    If it's working why change it?
  24. Dipre
    Both ideas are not mutually exclusive.
  25. Dipre
    Yeah but these GT's get insufferable some times, even when the game is winning, which is incredible, and not in a good way.
