It's what some do. As you know very well, if our bullpen blows a few games early, there will be pandemonium on the game threads.
-
Discipline is a very interesting choice of words.
-
That's what I said too. I think ERA was probably the first real 'stat geek' stat.
-
I don't know, I think me, you and notin have done a fine job jabbering away the last few months in spite of having no actual baseball news.
-
Four sure.
-
Something tells me you have a beef with notin.
-
Wow, that's some innovative thinking right there.
-
You must have a low opinion of Eovaldi and Pearce.
-
You're right. I thought we were a little closer than that to the limit.
-
Our Pythagorean record was 103-59, so you were pretty close. One should never predict that their team is going to win 108 games in this crazy freakin' game, IMHO.
-
It's gonna be a war, man.
-
The question is will they hold on to him when he reaches free agency next year.
-
ERA is certainly one of the key stats. Now when you think about it, ERA was one of the first 'stat geek' numbers. Some geek decided that pitchers should not be victimized statistically by bad fielders, and that they needed a number that eliminates the runs resulting from errors. Modern geeks have just built on that concept a bit.
-
So what exactly was the ******** part of what notin said again?
-
Bagwell is in.
-
I don't think anyone can deny that the competitive advantage held by the Red Sox and the Yankees over the Rays over the years has had a lot to do with our ability to outspend them by multiples.
-
Yes.
-
The law of diminishing returns would certainly appear to be in effect.
-
You accused notin of ********. Jesus, you can't even follow your own posts.
-
I think dgalehouse is correct that there is correlation. How strong the correlation is I would like to see as well.
-
I'll just copy Kimmi's post from yesterday, including her editorial comments at the end: Baseball Prospectus ranks catchers defensively by framing runs, fielding runs, blocking runs, caught stealing runs, stealing runs, and throwing runs. Out of 117 ranked catchers in 2018, Leon ranked 7th and Vazquez ranked 14th. Swihart ranked 38th, which is not bad out of 117. As a team, Boston catchers ranked 3rd out of the 30 teams. Those are based on the measurable stats. I think Leon and Vazquez would rank even better when you factor in the intangibles.
-
I've mentioned this before about Kimbrel, but I will mention it again. His WHIP with Boston is almost identical to his WHIP with Atlanta, but his ERA is higher. The simple reason appears to be more long balls.
-
Plus it's a whole different deal with starters where you're facing hitters more than once and strategizing based on the previous at-bat etc.
-
I think it's a combination of factors. It's pretty clear that some teams are just withholding spending because of the advantageous of tanking. It's becoming a complete mess.
-
******** right back at you. First of all, if you're actually reading the posts, a number of Sox fans are unhappy with the signing. Secondly, if it was the Yankees who signed him there would be a split on that as well.
