    As I said since day one. My boy Tanner Houk will continue his 2020 performance. Sometimes you don’t need large samples to figure out that this kid here is very good since his stuff is great. To me he is RH Chris Sale. Seems he loves to pitch in the spotlights. His performance yesterday was simply a marvelous.

    IMO the most important thing (and pretty impressive) that Matt Barnes has improved this year is his command which is translated and reflected in his peripherals metrics, specially in his BB/9 which is 2.61. That simple metric has boosted all his run prevention stats, specially SIERA (1.84), which IMO is the greatest run prevention estimator among them since it is the only that considers balls in play. Is it sustainable? If his command continuos this way, I say yes because his stuff has been elite this year.

    I was looking at Duran’s 2021 splits and I don’t understand why they want to platoon this kid. I would have let him play everyday for a while and see what this kid got.

    I think I read that Judge and other 6 players were involved in this case. Wonder what did they do to give them green light and resume activities so fast. I remember some cases where games were cancelled due COVID, and it took several days to resume activities.

    You will need a miracle my friend. I do not see that happening. This is not your year IMO.

    yup, only a few are very good relievers —2+ fWAR. In the scale of players, very good probably starts at the "Good Player" level, maybe higher. So If a reliever player has something around 1-2, as I said, makes you an average to above average player.
  7. iortiz
    Since the scale for players in fangraphs goes from 0 to 6, and considering that 6 is what fangraphs calls you MVP, 3.5 is probably the MVP for relievers, so the factor should be something around 1.7. If the later is true... Matt Barnes posted in his best year a 1.3 fWAR. It could be translated into a 2.21 fWAR in the player rule-of-thumb table. 2.21 fWAR makes you a "Solid Player" in the table, but it is below of what fangraphs calls you a "Good Player" in the same table. I called it "average to above average". Solid in my book is "average to above average". Solid or "average to above average" is probably what Matt Barnes was in his best year.

    Here's my scale.
  9. iortiz
    Well, his best fwar year was 1.3. If that is very good to you, be my guest.
  10. iortiz
    I did adjust the rule-of-thumb. Stop it.
  11. iortiz
    I think yessir opened a thread for those purposes but I'm not sure.
  12. iortiz
    Somewhere I read the J&J has the best results vs Delta.
  13. iortiz
    Comparing them doesn't make sense at all.
  14. iortiz
    No, I didnt. I adjusted the rule-of-thumb. Stop making up things.
  15. iortiz
    They are role players but they still can be great or bums. Mo drives in a different highway. Few are close to him. I did say the later too. Go figure. Also I didn't compare relief pitchers to other players. I was comparing relievers with relievers. Apples with apples. re, I also did say that you have to adjust fangraphs' rule-of-thumb for relievers. I also shared my rule-of-thumb for them. Again, go figure.
  16. iortiz
    You should open a thread about that ot.

    I think jung and A700 and few others like to talk about those details. They are old school posters as well. I love to read them when they write about those details.

    I think his WHIP has increased and his SO/W has decreased a bit since then which is my main concern. If true, his command could be a question mark. In the ASG he didn’t look well and was very lucky. Sure it was an exhibition game against the cream of baseball, but I think he hasn’t been that sharp lately.
  19. iortiz
    100% agree.
  20. iortiz
    Oh yeah… BUT if he finishes with that figure he will likely not be this good in the second half.
  21. iortiz
    Since then I think he has struggled a bit, hasn’t he?
  22. iortiz
    Wonder whether they are going to call Cordero again.
  23. iortiz
    I was very high on Bobby entering the season. I still have faith on him but my patience is not limitless lol
  24. iortiz
    … or maybe Duran will play at 2B and Kike will keep his job at CF. MVP says it is very unlikely though.
  25. iortiz
    He is on pace to post something around 3.2 fWAR this year. He never ever was that close to that figure which is very good. IMO nobody thought Barnes was going to be this good —3.2 fWAR.
