    Pitching. Saw him in Buffalo.

    Wonder what Joe Ross is gonna return. Looking good so far today. xFIP down to 2.51.

    This was already answered, but I feel the need to address this: WAR includes a positional adjustment on its own, so you shouldn't then adjust his offense for position too. It'd be double counting. Goins needs 85 wRC+ to be valuable, probably. He's at 0.2 WAR (replacement level over a full season, more or less). He's also projected for replacement level. However, his defensive numbers are still noisy (-0.2 right now, which we all know is more noise than fact, especially since his numbers have been great last two years). If he can get to 85, he'll be at the very least a nice backup IF.

    well, Hutch > replacement level, so

    Well, no, they do have a point. Kyle Kendrick can go 5 innings, strike out 8, walk one, give up no homers and have an xFIP of 2.5 or whatever it comes out to. And that means he pitched well. But that doesn't mean he's a good pitcher; he still has a 5.05 xFIP on the season. A bad pitcher can pitch well during a particular start, obviously. Saying "this guy had an xFIP of 3.5 in five innings, he pitched well" is a legitimate claim. Saying "this guy had an xFIP of 3.5 in five innings, he is a good pitcher because of this" is invalid. There's a distinction.

    I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

    You keep saying he's pessimistic, nitpicky, overanalytical. Nope, I'm pretty sure you're just wrong. Just in general. Nothing to do with this thread, really. yay Goins. get up to 85 wRC+ and we'll talk.

    Actually, uh, SIERA is an ERA predictor and xFIP is expected FIP, making it predictive of FIP. FIP is the objective measure of performance. They all also happen to be better predictors of future ERA than past ERA, so they're all labelled as ERA predictors (and SIERA actually is one, I believe) but xFIP was made to project FIP and FIP was made to improve upon ERA. It's all semantics, though. The objective is to measure true talent as closely as possible. ERA CLEARLY doesn't do this (HR/FB, BABIP, run environment, framing/umps probably), and FIP does a better job but still has problems (HR/FB, framing/umps). Pitch-level statistics like xxFIP are probably the closest thing to true talent we have right now.

    Cutch is easily starting CF on the Most Likeable Team 2015

    He said he wouldn't do McCutchen or Bryant and then followed that up at a separate occasion by defending it. Also said something about Harper, I think.
  14. GD
    opening yourself up to DDL jokes here but I'll thank it for f***ing with North
  15. GD
    It's right in front of him. He's been shown his thought process is incorrect by two front offices and he sticks to it.
  16. GD
    how did you get that photo of my dad omg
  17. GD
    Or you're just wrong.

    We're very, very interested in adding someone who would like to write up breaking news, game previews, game recaps and the like. Mainly breaking news. Obviously wouldn't turn down any analysis, either.
  21. GD
    Ross for Correa seems fair.
  22. GD
    In line with this, he will also not strike out any batters, and give up many home runs. Please provide proof for your assertion.
  23. GD
    Eugh that SwStr makes me uncomfortable I kinda really want to see Sanchez turn into Kimbrel or something. someone pls get him some good swing and miss stuff
  24. GD
    f*** YOU, SUCK MY BAUTISTA HOOOOOOLYYYYY FUUUUUUUUUUUcKKCKCKCKC
  25. GD
    I'm not going to rehash every DIPS vs ERA argument but today, Hutch has an awful FIP and this is how many runs you would expect him to give up. He's been bad today.
