Exactly. In a redraft league rn I take CarGo pretty easily but Yelich in a dynasty league is a really valuable commodity imo.

5 minutes before his game started, I realized Fiers was benched. I started him. lol

Starting a Pokemon at catcher is bound to sell tix.

This is what I was thinking of.

i just don't care enough lol

My friend pitched a no-hitter like this. Managed to give up runs too. The backstops at Bond are unforgiving.

idc what you people define "shutdown" as but it's this http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100808&content_id=13191556&vkey=recap&fext=.jsp&c_id=tor

Isn't there a rule for this that just isn't enforced?
-
I can't say I agree. The fact is that he DID give up 4 HR on 5 FB. And that's bad. But should he be expected to do so in the future? No. So what he did was bad but it shouldn't be expected to happen again (even if it does, it shouldn't be expected to). It doesn't change, however, that it actually did happen. So I stand by that I'd use FIP as a description and xFIP as a prediction. After all, the x is for expected.
-
I don't agree with most people who use xFIP to say how a pitch actually pitched. xFIP crosses the line of talent measuring and goes into a full on ERA predictor once it manipulates HR allowed imo. FIP is probably the best measure of talent for what actually happened. I would use FIP. I agree for the most part. I think people confuse "what can expected to happen in the future" with "what should have happened in the past." The ideal outcomes discussion is a discussion for a different day I supposed. Again, I think people confuse the two. I think saying a pitcher did well when he struck out 8 and walked 2 but gave up 5 ER isn't correct, but it should be said that that pitcher is at least taking the steps toward being successful by some of his outcomes such as SO, BB, and so on, but again, for another day I guess.

The semantics of semantics. lol it isn't actually i just wanted to say that +1. North has to be probably the least offensive person on the planet. I don't think I've seen him insult someone ever.
-
"Well if you consider the time zones" = semantics <3
-
It's like North, only if you stripped any and all humanity out of him. I say we get this guy into the BBDL.
-
So I may be misunderstanding, but are you saying that shutting a team down has nothing to do with getting ideal outcomes? I used FIP to highlight what most on here would use as their barometer. Learn da human decency. Please.
-
Calm the f*** down, just cause I used a fancy percentage sign doesn't mean I used a statistic. All I said was that it depends on how you define shutting someone down and in this case it wasn't much of a shut down.
-
Depends on if you consider achieving an extremely ideal outcome for 82% of the batters and achieving the worst possible outcome for 18% of the batters shutting someone down. Also, that would result in a 5.126 FIP, so that isn't really shutting anyone down, yeah.

Like who? Marlon Byrd?

high school actually isn't this dramatic
-
Don't you speak badly about Tercet. He's a valued contributor to this forum.
-
I hope people know I'm not actually being serious when I do that
-
lol, I made one non-serious post and then waited for actual discussion to start but then Moogy got there and I figured that it wouldn't end well. It might actually not have gone too terribly if Tercet hadn't shown up cause regulars would have seen it in a few hours.
-
In all fairness, you posted it in the middle of the day on Thursday. Not many people are online and the ones who would find that interesting apparently aren't.
