who threw the ball that hit Rasmus thread.

[Angrioter]

My pick:

RickyRo

[Angrioter]

If it was Ricky Ro should be DFA'ed right away. I'm just going to blame it on JPA though. This is some how his fault.

 

Hes probably bitter Colby came back and passed him in homeruns.

 

f*** u #ArencibiaLine

[Abomination]

Oops, it was Gose after all!

[BlueJayWay]

Yeah it was Gose. He really wants that CF job.

[G-Snarls]

My pick:

RickyRo

 

For those of us out this evening what happened??

[Angrioter]

Gose taking advantage of their chance and he's trying steal the Rasmus work.

 

WAR is WAR

[Caper]

Well... that about sums up the season.

[GD]

You had one f***ing job Anthony

 

It was to not kill our 4 win outfielder

 

And you f***ed that up

 

You gotta get your s*** together man

[GD]

There I FTFY

 

Holy s*** I didn't even realize he'd been that good

 

Maaaaaaaaaan is the Cards' board gonna be fun

[G-Snarls]

Gose threw a ball during warm up at Rasmus. Rasmus didn't see it and it hit him in the face and he left the game before the inning started.

 

Dammit

[GD]

Have to be cautious of that BABIP though, it should be more like .315 (at least the best xBABIP formula thinks so).

 

Well I don't think he's a true talent 4.6 win CF anyways and we probably shouldn't depend on that regardless.

 

Is it possible to regress wOBA to a .315 BABIP and turn that into wRAA and sub that into his WAR to get a better idea of his true talent?

[GD]

You know how many hits you need to take away (or add) and the problem is just knowing what the wOBA weight of an average BABIP luck induced hit is. Through some math I approximated it to be 0.95.

 

Yeah that's what I was wondering cause that s*** is way over my head. If you got me a regressed wOBA I could easily find his WAR though, wRAA is pretty easy to calculate

oh f***.. didn't realize it was this bad. C'mon Colby, you're a tough dude.

[Convo]

Really hope Rasmus is okay. This is all rather unfortunate.

[Convo]

It looked like he motioned to Gose to throw the ball, but this might of been right after he threw it and perhaps Rasmus' hat was hiding the ball from his FOV

 

Also Rasmus is a tough SOB... he acted like it was nothing

[GD]

With a .315 BABIP he should have a .338 wOBA and converting to WAR (and adjusting for park factor in wRAA) he would have 3.8 WAR.

 

Awesome, that seems reasonable.

[SAAviour]

Is no news bad news or good news?

I can just see that he has lost his vision in the eye and his career is over...that would be typical jays.

Only thing that surprises me is we didn't sign him the day before for 5 years.

Wow. How about just watching him play and say to yourself "Colby is an above average center fielder with power and I'm glad he's with us".

 

Enjoy.

Just because I don't enjoy baseball in the same way as you doesn't mean you get to tell me how to watch the sport I love, jackass, but after seeing what BS you've sprayed about Goins I'm just not going to bother

[GD]

lol.......showing off your inner Spanky!!!

 

I think we all have a little bit of Spanky in us.

I don't mean it's wrong to watch the game that way, it's your prerogative. I love stats myself but this advanced stuff in trying to assess a player's value is a little extreme.

[gruber92]

BTW, what BS have I spread about Goins? That he's an elite defender and has about a 10% chance in sticking?

[gruber92]

No it isn't, advanced stats paint a better picture.

 

My point is its not a slam dunk no brainer to take a 4.5 WAR player over a 3.8 WAR player. There more intangibles involved.

This is true, just not for the reasons you say it is.

I think its overkill as well. Who really cares what Rasmus' true talent level is? And even if you did care, regressing a bunch of different numbers to still come up with a non-definitive answer is lame.

For you, it's lame and overkill, for someone like JFaS (not to speak on his behalf) or I, it can be interesting and a unique take on things. To each their own, honestly.

[gruber92]

Agreed. Somehow the true magic of the game gets compromised when viewing the game solely on advanced stats. Shame really.

Kinky...
