Without looking solely at first games, wild card winners are 7-9 in the following series to date (discounting the entirely different 2020 postseason). Better than I would have guessed. Two of them (2014 Giants and 2019 Nationals) did go on to win the World Series…

It’sa good post, but the conclusion shouldn’t be that stats ignore the human element. Stats are just recorded history, nota measure of ability. And they should include the ups and downs of a season. What this post does is give some good reasons for why those ups and downs exist…

The real negative factor in the WC game is it hampers the ability of a team to set up their rotation for a playoff series. So while a WC game is certifiably winnable, it does make the following series more difficult…

Cue the new theme song “Spider Tack. Spider Tack. Gives the ball the spin rate you lack”
-
Especially as it’s completely subjective with no mention of what the grades reflect or how other teams stack up. But really, taking any bets against the field is not exactly a method to show confidence. pick any team you want to bet on for the World Series and give me the field, and I’ll take that bet…

Four seamers are just about velocity. A two seamer is almost always thrown in the right range of 91-94 mph. I think - and I could easily be wrong - that if it gets thrown too much harder, the ball isn’t left with enough time for sufficient break, making it easier to hit…

Considering the article says he isn’t ready and will be in Arizona building up strength, your totals are probably a best case scenario. I’d expect he finishes with about half of those numbers, or less (2-3 starts, 10-20 IP) He might not even see the parent club in August, just like he wouldn’t had Bloom been the GM to sign him. Given the terms of his contract, the Dodgers clearly expect very little out of him. Of all the pitchers to complain about missing out on, Hamels should probably be last on the list. The Sox would have been better off outbidding the Cardinals for JA Happ or Jon Lester…

Agreed. dustcover clearly knows who Nellie Fox is. Ghost thinks A ball is for punishment... -
The media and jad

I wouldn't have minded adding Hamels, but I'm not going to pretend he would have been anything beyond a minor depth piece at this stage of his career. Not like this is 2016 and he is still a difference-making arm. I'm not sure he is any better than Richards and I doubt he will be any better than Perez...

Unless it actually works..

Actually given the thread title, you’re correct. Points are clearly irrelevant. Good point. Of course, now you’ve actually made a good point on a ghost thread, which is certainly something that should never be. Stop that!

It never hurts..

Point?

JD Martinez has an OPS+ of 142 with the Boston Red Sox, and that team should do everything possible to replace his production with the career OPS+ of 117 of Kyle Schwarber (whose bat might get too much praise considering he has 0 PA for the Sox to date). After all, Schwarber is younger and still manages to get hurt more often than Martinez. And might be more expensive, too. It’s the Tri-Fecta!!

And removed Spider Tack!!
-
Maybe he meant Casas farts a lot?
-
Well, they were right about spin rates. The next step is to distinguish real spin rates from artificial ones…

See what I mean

And Marcelo Mayer!! Bogaerts hasn’t had 3 hit game a couple weeks!!
-
It doesn’t take a mind reader to know you’re not happy
-
Call him up!!

Bench was also one of the best offensive catchers in MLB history. Really, he still is. And let’s face it - offense has always been the primary metric in awards, even defensive ones…
-
Wilson is gone. They were never going to DFA Dalbec . Rosario and Cordero make Wilson redundant. And did so to the point where his 40 man spot was more valuable than he is. Even if they see Wilson as a viable 4th outfielder, that’s not a difficult position to fill externally…

Actually he did come up as a catcher. Not a good catcher, but a catcher nonetheless. He would certainly be the emergency catcher
