Around Baseball 2014

For the upcoming Cards series the Jays miss both Wainwright and Wacha. Will be facing Lynn, Miller and Garcia.

I expect some epic slugfests against the O's. We play them 6 times in the last 2.5 weeks of the season.

 

Yep, agree.

[Bunchedundies]

Imagine our rotation with any one of Darvish, Tanaka or Anibal Sanchez. All guys we could have signed with zero cost in prospects. (Draft pick for Sanchez but still...)

 

Anyhow, hindsight, and there's no point dwelling on it. But AA really should have played ball in the SP free agent market this off season or the one before it.

 

Yep, the offense is deep, all we needed was another front line starter and this team would be something.

Well, it IS something right now

 

But I don't expect the pitching to hold up. We pretty much knew Morrow was going to implode. And he still didn't add a single starter until he got Hendriks off the waiver wire. Foolish.

[labadee]

Yes the Orioles lose

[Chappy]

Fangraphs now has the Jays at an 85.9% chance of making the playoffs.

They favor current streaks to past ones, if we had the same record but on a 10 game losing streak, it would probably show 60%.

[flafson]

No, that's not what they do.

 

"The FanGraphs Playoff Odds are an adaption of the coolstandings.com playoff odds originally created by Greg Agami and Sean Walsh. To generate the playoff odds we simulate each season 10,000 times."

 

They have an idea of what every team's true-talent is, and then they simulate all the games based off that. How the Blue Jays have amassed their previous wins is (rightfully) irrelevant.

 

My bad, i meant Season To Date Mode.

Season to Date Stats Mode

 

This mode uses current season stats, weighted more heavily towards the most recent games, to calculate the winning percentage of each remaining game in the major league season.

Best of the worst swings in baseball

"Poor guy" bad choice of words:)

 

Actually it's admirable of him though to have that fat bank account and keep working hard to come back.. especially considering he's never going to see the same kind of payday
