And that certainly does happen with some teams.
-
It'd be a lot of work, but I have no doubt there would be a significant correlation. Can you think of any way it would HURT to have a strong farm?
-
Consigliere...

What jumps out at me is that for there to be collusion there has to be an attempt to deceive and defraud. Such as a secret agreement not to make market value offers to free agents. But the way MLB is structured, the owners have to have a joint bargaining position.
-
I make errors like that one quite a bit.
-
The only surprise for me is Valentin. Didn't realize he charted that high.
-
Yes, Millar's cheerful bravado before Game 4 is an amazing thing to behold. And he was instrumental in the comeback. I'd certainly buy him a drink if I ever see him in a bar.
-
Agreed.
-
Yaz had a 1.047 OPS in 17 postseason games. Which doesn't include his home run and RBI single in the 1978 playoff game. He was clutch. He just didn't have as many opportunities.
-
Ortiz was a better hitter, Yaz was a better all-round player.
-
Yes.
-
I don't think it's too early at all. Last year Red Sox Truck Day was February 8.

Xander.
-
So you're suggesting that Steamer and ZIPS pull their PA projections out of thin air.
-
How do you determine that it was bigger than the one in Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS?
-
It's all guesswork.
-
Agreed.
-
Yes. The point is that WAPM also has to project the PAs.
-
Timing and context are everything. People remember the names of Bobby Thompson, Bill Mazeroski, and Bucky Dent...and Dent's hit wasn't even a walkoff.
-
Ortiz had 3 walkoff hits in one postseason. He led the greatest comeback in baseball history and the breaking of the c****. That gets you noticed. Can't speak for others, but I remember Luis Gonzalez's hit pretty well. Regular season walkoffs do not make that big of an impression. They're an everyday occurrence during the season.
-
Agreed. Nonetheless it sucked that teams played 154-156 games that year instead of 162. Will they do it to us again?
-
Clutchness was part of his personality!
-
Yaz helped put a moribund franchise back on its feet though. Which arguably paved the way to the glory years of Ortiz. Comparisons like this are fun, but I don't think they're very meaningful.
-
The thing that's endearing about Yaz is that he seems a 100% straight shooter.

If you're so good, what is Dalbec's 2022 fWAR?
