I have set up a new thread for the 'playoffs are a crapshoot' topic.
-
This question has been generating some debate again. I thought we should have a separate thread for it, and a poll to boot.
-
It'll be a Cole day in Hell when we sign him. -
Plus 7-4 against the Rays & Yanks in the postseason.
-
You gotta be kidding.
-
Well, I'm afraid that wasn't much help. Kidding. I love philosophical stuff too.
-
I pretty much agree. Baseball is a complex game at the major league level. Especially now with all the analytical and game-planning stuff. The "cheating" element can't be overlooked either-detecting pitch-tipping and stealing signs. That has become huge, for better or worse.
-
So what exactly meets your definition of raw data?
-
No, I agree that randomness is a big factor. I just think saying it's all luck once you get to the playoffs is overstating it.
-
Soto looks Barry Bonds-ish.
-
But on the Yankee thread you just said that the Yankees beat the Twins because they're the Twins, and that the Yankees over-reliance on bullpen contributed heavily to them losing to the Astros - implying that luck had little to do with either result.
-
We also had Travis and Chavis who could play first. I'm not even sure why this is an issue.
-
We've mentioned possible issues with his ability to play the position and injuries (back, Lisfranc). There's a pretty good chance he's a goner anyway, rendering all this a moot point.
-
Greinke's payroll cost is not a killer. He's on the books for 2 years at a net AAV of about 24 mill per year after Arizona's contribution of 10.33 mill. Also woth noting is that Verlander's deal expires in 2021 just like Greinke's.
-
He also had the Lisfranc injury in 2017.
-
There are two possible downsides. One is he's not a good first baseman. The other is he's more subject to injury. Pretty much the same as they were for David Ortiz. Although Ortiz was a decent first baseman when he played.
-
Didn't we have not just a first baseman, but a platoon of Moreland and Pearce on the payroll?
-
And DD did a brilliant job in 2018 picking up Eovaldi, Pearce and Kinsler at the deadline.
-
But how can there can be bias collecting batting averages and ERA's? Some of this stuff is purely objective. And if it's 'cherry-picked', a reader with any baseball IQ can see that and respond accordingly.
-
I'm getting a little lost here. BA over the last 50 games .279 ERA in last 10 starts 4.12 Are those not examples of raw data?
-
Nice work moon.
-
In the 1966 World Series, Baltimore beat the Dodgers by scores of 5-2, 6-0, 1-0 and 1-0. Not only did the Dodgers never have a lead, or a tie other than 0-0, they didn't score a run in the last 33 innings.
-
Got it. I thought you were talking about our offense.

Batters walked in '19 - what does that mean?
