Looks cool, thanks.
-
It's not just the 30 IP sample sizes. It's the fact that our pitching was so good this year when factoring in the high BAbip, as you have noted.
-
Sorry man, you totally confound me on this issue. First you say the difference with Houck is not that great. Then you list differences that are smaller.
-
Do I value them? I find them very interesting. And I'm not so much looking at the differences between Vaz and Plaw as I am looking at how crazy good the numbers were with Vaz. I'm certainly not denying the premise that some pitchers do better with some catchers. Obviously managers pay attention to it.
-
No one is saying it's strange. In the postseason managers go with the guy they have the most confidence in. In the final games of the 2013 postseason, Farrell went exclusively with Ross. In the final games of the 2018 postseason, Cora went exclusively with Vaz.

I'm going to trot these numbers out again: 2021 catcher splits Houck Vazquez 38.1 IP 2.11 ERA .536 OPS Plawecki 30.2 IP 5.28 ERA .693 OPS Whitlock Vazquez 63.2 IP 1.55 ERA .583 OPS Plawecki 9.2 IP 4.66 ERA .909 OPS Small samples, of course, but you have to consider the possibility that Vaz did amazingly well with these two, who may be the most valuable pitchers on the staff considering their ages and years of control. I would be hesitant to move Vaz and his not exorbitant $7 million salary based on those numbers alone.
-
Now what are you talking about? A kilogram of marijuana equals about 2.2 pounds of marijuana. Same weight, differently expressed.
-
Yes, and like with Vazquez. Case closed?
-
In Canada we use a hilarious mishmash of the metric, Imperial and American systems.
-
Right, because they have more information than you. Better information.
-
Go ahead and explain, Professor. I need the enlightenment.
-
And why did you skip my point about Vaz playing over the better-hitting Plawecki?
-
How's it wrong?
-
It actually works with inches too. And you can even say something like 5.88 feet tall, and not be wrong.
-
How 'bout that, moon? Of course it's all Deeply Flawed CERA all the time with moon.
-
Sure. Just like it's pretty clear why Vaz got most of the innings in spite of Plawecki having better numbers with the stick.
-
So it's all CERA. You know, if ERA is a deeply flawed stat, it follows that CERA is, too.
-
Because your low opinion seems to be tied to your belief that he doesn't handle the pitching staff well, but you also point out how good the pitching was this year. That's the disconnect.
-
There's a pretty big disconnect between your opinion of Vaz and your posts about how good the pitching numbers would have been this year if the defense was better.
-
Picking and choosing which players we got for the money isn't much of a methodology.
-
And Pina is a backup catcher.
-
What? Devers had a .352 OBP this year, not to mention a .538 SLG. And he was only 24.
-
Yeah, just like age. Some sayings are stoopid.
-
They got 6 years of Verdugo (3 at minimum pay) for 1 year of Mookie. Some would say that's a win right there.
-
I suppose they want to get rid of the term ******** too.
