    I see I've successfully turned this into a Mike Trout appreciation thread. Mission accomplished.

    Even most of Harvey's old school metrics are elite though. Literally the only one that isn't are his W totals. Cy Young voters have picked Greinke and Felix in the past with low win totals. It's the one dino metric that's almost extinct. There is literally no argument for Corbin being a better pitcher than Matt Harvey going forward. Your last statement is about as classic crazy KSaw as we'll get.

    You make it sound like I created park factors. Wait, are you implying Pat Corbin has had a better year than Matt Harvey? Please tell me I'm misinterpreting this.
  4. Nox
    Oh, well yah. Miggy is the best hitter in the game right now. No doubt about that.
  5. Nox
    Guys, he's not even the best RHH, of the last decade. Not to mention the fact he's basically a DH. This urge break out the annointing oil is pretty dumb.
  6. Nox
    And my original point is that we have the ability to account for context. We don't need to make mental adjustments of arbitrary magnitude because Harvey and Kershaw play in better pitchers parks.
  7. Nox
    Except that he's not even the best player.

    Between PitchFX and Trackman, MLB teams have spin, velocity and trajectory data for every pitch in the MLB and most AAA parks. Vegas included. Now tell me exactly how with that information in hand we can't measure the flattening of a pitch in altitude. As for your 2nd point, the game theory changes are indeed probably the biggest effect. But their overall impact is reflected in the park factors. Yes, more fastballs get thrown, yes hitters know that, yes it makes it easier for them to predict what's coming but the net effect is easily measured by the outputs over many years of data.
  9. Nox
    It obviously has an effect. That's not being debated. No, it's the guys who primarily rely on breaking stuff that get hurt them most. And even then, it's not a dramatic difference compared to a regular pitcher. That's a pretty stupid thing to say. You realize the importance of atmospheric conditions in park factors, something many people don't get, but the physical dimensions of a park is obviously a factor as well. I can't even fathom a semi valid argument to the contrary. If we brought the fences in 10 feet all around at Roger's Centre, you're essentially saying it wouldn't matter. That's crazy. You know PitchFX became available like 10 years ago right?
  10. Nox
    And why does that matter? You care about the net effect which is, you know, exactly what they measure.
  11. Nox
    1) Arizona's park factors are not like Vegas'. Stop exaggerating. Just because each city has alot of sand/dirt around them does not make them the same thing. 2) We have plenty of measures that take park factors into account. You're lost in a fog if you think there's a legitimate argument for Corbin over Harvey or Kershaw.

    His "baseball is hard" rebuttal doesn't qualify as convincing?

    Stoeten: 6800 followers despite a national platform. The people have spoken and they don't like you.

    Poor BTS.

    Bill James ran a regression!!

    More like: "Receiving, hitting, blocking, throwing". But I know those aren't your words. Thanks for posting.
  17. Nox
    And this is a pretty good example as to why you never invest heavily (year or $) in relievers. Tonnes of guys put up great years out of nowhere in the pen.
  18. Nox
    Such a sham. Bud Selig thinks he's protecting his "legacy" but in reality there's a good chance he's setting fire to whatever is left of it.
  19. Nox
    lol
  20. Nox
    Neil Wagner is a major league reliever. No idea why we wouldn't trade Delabar/Jansen and just use him in a similar role.
  21. Nox
    They really are unlikeable and it's not just because they're pretty bad at baseball.
  22. Nox
    That's not what happened at all. This "strategy" was entirely put forth by Beeston and the rest of baseball ops.
  23. Nox
    Are they actually going to be surprised when April/May attendance and viewership in 2014 are nowhere near what they were this year?
  24. Nox
    I have no problem not trading Bautista now or in the offseason without knowing the specifics of packages offered for him. I just think delusional ******** like "Bautista isn't declining" should probably be called out for what it is.
  25. Nox
    Jesus f***ing Christ. Bautista is an asset, a big asset. However, to make like he's not aging and declining (naturally) into a slightly less valuable asset is completely delusional.
