Luhnow and Hinch Suspensions

[Nafro]

So the games you bet on the Reds to win, you use all of your best bullpen pieces so they aren't available for the games you don't bet on them to win?

 

You hold back your best starter so he starts against a weaker opponent the next day?

 

^^ This exactly.

Not sure if this is the correct spot to ask but what the hell.

 

Now that we know the Astros cheated, does it impact advanced metrics for and against the Astros during those years?

 

In theory, advanced metrics should eliminate “luck” so if you rewind those same matches and Astros don’t cheat, then advanced metrics should show the same results.

 

What do you guys think?

 

There is absolutely an advantage that would skew advanced metrics...by knowing what pitch is coming. How much, is likely impossible to ever know.

Exactly, you can't quantify it.

"I know the Astros cheated but who cares because I suspect other teams are cheating with no evidence."

 

Strong take, there.

 

Brownie is a moron, he has been saying the same thing in different ways for weeks now..The strong player reaction tells you no other teams went as far as the stros did. Also there is no evidence there was anyone else except maybe the sox and they are being investigated. If everyone else was doing it you would not see the anger from players like you do IE the roid era when every team had numerous players juicing. Brownie thinks batters knowing what pitches are coming via electronics is ok because meh others a teams are cheating cause I say so.

You hurt my feelings, big scary internet man. A s*** stain is still better then the s*** you spew. Your reaction only proves i hi a nerve, your posts on this topic are delusional.

So..... with a most likely shortened season, does that any player or manager who is currently suspended has to wait longer to start serving them? Or, does a suspension for the season just count as however many games they play this season?

I would assume the latter, it's not the players fault the disease went pandemic.

I read on FG that the suspension clock starts when the season actually starts.
