    I think either WAR has a value, but it's just relative. You can't just say "Warren is better because his fWAR is higher." Per Statcast, Bello has a pitching run value that's well above average and Warren's is well below average. Warren gets barrelled more often and induces less groundballs. Seems like Bello is a better bet going forward. fWAR has always had some "interesting" outliers (Kluber's 3.1 fWAR in '22, for example).

    If only we got a Hicks GS in TOR this year! 🤩 https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/TOR/TOR201206030.shtml

    Sure, but there are two WAR calculations that come up with completely different amounts. There is no one true WAR and no one true measurement that determines how that whole picture should be valued.

    No Hicks Allowed
  5. mvp 78
    It's why people need to look at the whole picture, not just the WAR calc for a good argument.

    Warren k's people and his ERA is worse than his xFIP. Bello doesn't k people and his ERA is a lot better than his xFIP. Warren and Bello are roughly equal in fWAR, but Bello is almost triple in bWAR.

    Has the markup always been that high?

    Hey, I met a former mod at Fenway once! He was real to me damnit!
  9. mvp 78
    That was fixed temporarily.

    Hicks has also been noted as being the first guy to leave the clubhouse after a game. Get this guy out of here. There's at least a glimmer of hope with Masa and players like him.
  11. mvp 78
    They thought they could fix him and turn him into a high leverage guy like they did with Chapman. Seems like it didn't work! Should have just handed SF 45M for 3 years to NOT take on Hicks. At least then they could call up a AAA guy that could pitch at a mediocre level rather than an atrocious level.

    I have a Myx bike at home. It's fine. They've removed a bunch of the older videos that I liked which is kind of annoying.

    If you don't know where it's going, a lot of times it will either be well out of the zone or put right on a tee for a hitter.

    Since '21: 101 wins 104 wins 89 wins and WC appearance .450 win % If anything, the Braves are an example of pitching volatility for better and worse.

    We are not 100% certain how some of our posters behave in public!

    Sox still have an extremely great chance to get into the playoffs. On this date in 2011, the Sox were 8 games up on the Rays. They went 6-17 the rest of the way. Sox are currently 6 games up on the Rangers. They really have to just play awful baseball for the rest of the way to be golfing in September.

    I'd rather they call up Toro than Campbell.
  19. mvp 78
    You probably don't have to wait too long if the rumors are true.
  20. mvp 78
    He was activated from the injury and played in 3 games before being DFA'd.
  21. mvp 78
    He's "ok" at 1b, but really needs to just spend all offseason working on one position and just playing there. He's not naturally athletic enough that he can be moved all over the diamond. He's a LF/1B guy right now. In a perfect world he plays 2b, but he's kind of a mess there. I wouldn't trade anyone just to open up a spot for Campbell. He needs to earn a bench spot first.
  22. mvp 78
    Maybe? There was no set timetable with him and he was getting better then he wasn't then he was then he wasn't. Hard to say what the initial outlook was or how long his quad strain was going to take to heal. A moderate strain is 4-6 weeks and he was out 7.

    Nick Burdi's right foot contusion in July?

    I try not to overinflate college draftees until they at least start pitching in some professional games. Witherspoon should be good, but we don't know how good. No real idea about Phillips or Eyanson. I'm not a big fan of Sandlin anymore. I'm sure he looks great in his side sessions, but whenever I watch his games it's a rough watch. Clarke has had a weird blister issue and hasn't been the same since the beginning of the season. He also doesn't go very long in his starts. Fajardo has been dominant at SAL, but I want to see him at GRE before I strap a rocket to him. The hitters in low A aren't very good IMO.
  25. mvp 78
    You know, sometimes these games can really be frustrating. I'm just glad they brought in Hicks so early on that I knew I could turn the game off and find something else to do with my evening. Thank you, Cora! #blessed
