  1. The CERA was the total you dope. You nutjob. You goober.
  2. Are you saying that QS front offices don't care about QS's? How do YOU know this? I think they matter very much. Here's 100 posts of me saying that they matter and never listening to other posters who want to talk about something else.
  3. To me, that makes it the best outing. 5th inning shmith inning. Give me 6 or nuthin.
  4. Is it a Quality Start?
  5. And the people posting back in August that Plawecki's high OPS wasn't likely to continue were right then?
  6. His previous 5 starts: 6 innings 2 ER, VMart 3.00 CERA 8 innings 3 ER, Tek 5 innings 1 ER, Tek 7 innings 3 ER, Tek 6 innings 4 ER, Tek 3.80 CERA The best outing of those 5 starts was with VMart.
  7. If the 2003 team had that pen, they break the curse.
  8. He had a 1.50 CERA through 6 innings. Seems good! If only he had a decent pen of Paplebon, Wagner, Bard, Ramirez, Okajima, Saito to give the ball to...
  9. Make sure Eovaldi is COMFORTABLE what that first.
  10. With you, never. We know what you are doing. You're one of those nutjobs that constantly pines for the backup catcher. I bet you're one of the football sickos who roots for the 3rd string QB too.
  11. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jd-martinez/6184/heat-maps?position=DH/OF&ss=&se=&hand=&count=&pitch=&season=&view=bat&data=&grid=&blur=&type=2 He's twice as likely to swing at balls low and in though. He's much better at taking that pitch than Xander is.
  12. It's an ok idea. Just tough to have 3 bullpen arms that you are saving for certain day. You want to lengthen the pen, not shorten it.
  13. Maybe other fans don't do that calculus, but that's how I feel about him. He was worth it for 2018, but I won't be sad to see him go.
  14. It's still real to me dammit.
  15. You bolded everyone but Vaz. That is not random. You don't want him playing anymore, do you?
  16. We actually need him for the playoffs though.
  17. He's a 2.6 fWAR guy who struggles in the field. He also makes a lot of money and could be leaving after this year. Sox fans just don't see him as a long term fit. He's a hired gun.
  18. Is that the same time ESPN stopped tabulating it?
  19. You don't want to wear out his knees though.
  20. Your strawman is not true though.
  21. No. With CERA, you are taking partials and dividing them further. You say that CERA is useless on a macro level. Things like OPS+ are made to compare players across the league. CERA, by your definition, cannot. Other stats can utilize a larger sample size. You say that CERA gets worse the larger you make the sample. These two things are not the same.
  22. Yes. Verdugo has taken a small step back or at least slightly underperformed. Verdugo is still a starting regular, but he's not a potential All Star going forward. Downs and Wong haven't shown much at all to this point.
