They were the best team in baseball. They averaged 7 runs a game in Price’s starts. I think it’s pretty wild to say Price was worth 6 wins above replacement in an 11-game stint. They most likely go like 7-4 in that stretch instead of 9-2 if they had to use replacement level arms. And still win the division.
I don't share most of Bauer's political beliefs, but there's a lot to like there beyond that. I think his style of fan engagement, especially on YouTube, is good for the game and its a shame its often overshadowed by non baseball-related stories.
Bauer's tweet is true according to fWAR, RA9WAR, and I believe rWAR, yet this has 450 likes and no pushback. Baseball twitter might be the most pathetic twitter.
