    Here's a simple one: Take Slugging Percentage, and expand it to include walks and HBP. Call it Bases Generated Percentage. Something like this: BB 1 base HBP 1 base 1B 1.25 bases (or something like that) 2B 2 bases 3B 3 bases HR 4 bases Then work out the pct. like SLG.

    Dalbec has lifted his OPS to .673.

    Game Score is a Bill James one. I don't look at it much, but it's not bad. It's simple. It's like Passer Rating in football.

    We could see Duran this year, after the Olympics, wouldn't surprise me at all.
  5. Bellhorn04
    The simple answer is that it's up to the official scorer to call it an error or not.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Pitchers will have to adapt to this, it's as simple as that.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Yep, a lot of arbitrary stuff for sure.
  8. Bellhorn04
    And all this is why your favorite folks the stat nerds tried to come up with a number that captures it all, including the stolen bases etc. All that stuff gets factored into WAR.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Yes, it might be over-tinkering. However, I do agree that a single should have a marginally higher value than a walk.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Wow, I didn't know that. Doesn't seem fair.
  11. Bellhorn04
    I wouldn't call that a 'major' flaw. But if you really wanted to refine it, maybe you could apply an appropriate discounting factor to BB's and HBP's.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Yes, OBP counts HBP's.

    If Richards, Pivetta and Perez continue to pitch like they can't get a grip on the ball, I'm afraid Bloom's offseason work doesn't look quite as nifty.

    I didn't want to say anything about it before the game, but this post had an awful 'famous last words' ring to it.

    In baseball, the only way we know .300 is a good batting average is by comparing it to other averages. By itself, .300 seems like a low average. But it takes a lot of skill to hit .300. A .300 hitter is much more valuable than a .200 hitter. These are not difficult concepts.

    James Kaprielian beats Yankees. He's 4-1 with a 2.84 ERA. Cash traded him in 2017 for Sonny Gray. Cash gave up on Gray and traded him to the Reds (for Shed Long), where he is 17-15 with a 3.14 ERA. These are the things that make you wonder if Cash knows what he's doing any more.

    Same here.

    Bloom has done a great job this year, but still has his hands full going forward - like most GM's. Our offense this year revolves around 4 guys. 2 of them may be gone after 2022, and the other 2 start their arb years next year.

    We now have 3 favorite teams: 1 Red Sox 2 Whoever's playing Yanks 3 Whoever's playing Rays 2 and 3 may be reversed depending on standings.

    Ha ha. Kimmi agreed with me on that one. And everyone agrees with me on this one. Don't be such a sore loser. What you're talking about is an absolute difference, or 'delta', as Joe Brady likes to call it. Yes, the absolute difference between .220 and .320 is a seemingly small 10%. But the relative difference is over 40%, and that's what matters.
  21. Bellhorn04
    LOL you're making it sound like an endless bonanza. But just for one thing, Verdugo will start making real money before you know it...
  22. Bellhorn04
    Gameday says that was two terrible strike calls in a row. Robot Umps Now!
  23. Bellhorn04
    No, that would be Slasher. He said to give Mookie a blank contract and fill it in himself.
  24. Bellhorn04
    By your logic, there's not much difference between a .220 hitter and a .320 hitter. It's only 10%!
  25. Bellhorn04
    You mean like the 2018 Red Sox? Why are you going after Beni? He's better than some of our hitters.
