i trust me and you more than i trust these "other guys". i trust StatCast more than i trust me and you. by a grip. the "other guys" can go fly a kite.
-
for the MFY it was a good time of the season to lose CroMag man for a 4-6 week DL stint. the depth was still good enough to TCOB vs the weak teams.
-
on my MLB app it shows some StatCast plays on outfield catches. it shows distance covered, time, sprint speed, ball trajectory, (i cant recall if they show ball velocity but imagine it is tracked) and assigns a star value to the catch - 5 star being the best and percentage of time the play would be made. to me that is way better than some guy watching it and deciding what he thinks. by way better i literally mean a billion percent better.
-
this post is alot different from the ones where you were basically saying a guy watches every play of every game so as to take into account the different ways each OFer tracks/gets to a ball. also....i would 1 billion percent trust StatCast creating the UZR score independently compared to a "guy" watching every play.
-
so one person isnt watching every play of every game taking into account how JBj gets an amazing jump and almost never has to dive for an "impossible" catch making it look easy. that is what your and moons earlier posts on this implies. now it has turned into a bunch of guys watching some of the plays. that is a completely different thing. sounds broken/illegitimate to me. dwar can suck it as far as im concerned.
-
How can they watch 14 games per day? there isnt enough hours in a day. do they not sleep? are they robots? perhaps they really arent watching every play of every game. perhaps 1 guy watches 1 team. and perhaps that negates what JBj does. perhaps. does anyone have the CV of the guy that watches every play of every game? in case you havent noticed....im not buying it.

perhaps they need a visit to the NYY Miami clinic

haha. i just got a visual of the batmans leaping from the swatmobile. FWIW...he was 25 when he tweeted it.
-
i get it. people that have guns...LOVE guns. they really do. they may even love their guns more than Slasher9 loves the Red Sox. but it is funny that they believe owning 15 rifles, 10 handguns, and a couple shotguns would be able to stop a government with tanks, fighter planes, smart bombs, blackhawks. and thats exactly what Mr. Martinez' tweet was saying. Sad!

Well played
-
I mean it does help that Sales stuff is so filthy that the batter has little chance no matter what he throws but I do get your point and agree with you. It shouldn’t take Cora saying something though. You would think these guys would see the proof in the pudding.....

WAR is the dumbest stat known to mankind (Trout vs. Betts)
Slasher9 replied to kenmeister's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
i believe he's actually in the DR so would be outside of the continental US scope. but your point stands. no one fully understands it or can fully explain it. FTR.....WAA >>>>>>WAR -
But perhaps the most incredible aspect of Sales existence is so subtle few have taken the time to soak it in. He hasnt called one of his own pitches in six years.
-
The no-shake approach dates prior to his time with the White Sox, back to a conversation he had in his college days about the value of where he throws — not what. “It’s never what pitch, it’s the location,” Sale said Saturday. “Not to get too in depth, but you can watch BP and guys get themselves out on a 60 mph an hour fastball right down the middle. So I figure it’s more important the location than it is the pitch that I’m throwing.” Florida Golf Coast Universit coach Dave Tollett said that's his program's philosophy. "Throw every pitch with intent," Tollett said Saturday night by phone. "And if you hit the right spot, we should be good. ... We still do the same thing and we’ve had success.
-
good call. then again, Sale has also never shook off the following stellar/All star / HOF pitch callers: Bryan Anderson Alex Avila Ramon Castro Tyler Flowers Donny Lucy Omar Narvaez Dioner Navarro Josh Phegley AJ Pierzynski and of course Christian Vazquez
-
screw the players. im concerned about my own mental health!

the worst thing about day off today is we have to sit and stew with this sweep.........

they are both dead man walking at this point. 1 has an AAV of $21.8MM and the other has an AAV of $14.16MM Except for Jacksonianmarch, I know what every GM, fan, owner in the universe would prefer to have.....

it would be interesting to see if Durham area can support a ML team. the Durham Bulls draw pretty well.

When someone over the age of 90 who was in WWII says “f***” it needs to be recognized
