  1. Quintana Walker Morton Hand Rosenthal And I can't resist: Lester Porcello
  2. Bradley can be replaced by the cheaper and possibly undervalued Pillar. There seem to be better bargains available for Bradley's position, for whatever reason.
  3. And that would seem to apply with Anderson. Another thing is that the career sample with Anderson wasn't that big anyway. But what about a guy like Kenley Jansen? Great career numbers, but Roberts obviously lost confidence with him because he was *struggling*. How do analytics account for a relief pitcher who's *struggling*?
  4. So you disagree with what Alex Speier said about Anderson not being the same pitcher as he was in the regular season?
  5. Johnny Mac came close to being a popular Red Sox manager...
  6. I do support the use of technology for balls and strikes.
  7. Good call, Denny.
  8. Good stuff.
  9. Giving more weight to recent experience would be simple enough. But there are interesting questions of how much extra weight and under what conditions.
  10. I am going to hazard a guess that oldtimer thought you were saying 5 years, not 5 plate appearances. Oblique humor is often misinterpreted. I know from experience.
  11. My theory is that analytics have no real way to account for significant differences between recent data and longer term data.
  12. How does this add anything to a discussion?
  13. "Baggins, we hates it forever!"
  14. What is that third baseman's WAR since the trade though?
  15. Yep, the $20's add up all too quickly.
  16. You are hereby appointed the new Cooler.
  17. Works either way...
  18. Some are purer than others. This one is like Walter White's meth.
  19. Ball bouncing off Jose's bean and into the stands, like Manny's high-five play, should have a place on the Top Ten Baseball Plays of All Time.
  20. Cora not having interest in the job is pure speculation.
  21. That's what it comes down to, I think.
  22. Merloni thinks Bloom doesn't want Cora, and the meeting with him was mostly a professional courtesy.
  23. Previous 6 appearances Oct 9-24 9.2 IP 7 ER 13 H 4 BB 5 K 3 HR
  24. I certainly understand the principle there. The only issue is with how the analytics can take into account the conditions in play in that specific game. Such as the fact that Anderson had clearly been struggling in recent outings. Alex Speier (who said that pulling Snell was defensible in itself) said Anderson wasn't the same pitcher as he was in the regular season, and therefore was not an upgrade over Snell, so he disagreed with that part. I will also say that I'm no longer discussing this for the purpose of proving how wrong Cash was. It's time to give the man a break. I'm just interested in the analytical part of it.
