Blue Jays First Home Run Contest Thread
theblujay replied to Dylan's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I'm on mobile and can't figure out to send a pm. My pick is Lind -
So Sanchez isn't scheduled to start today? So I guess 3 rainouts in row means he's missing his start. Great
-
Damn, I'm on the Castro bandwagon.
-
Lol Keith Law is a hater. Could you or someone else post that article? Thanks
-
Yeah I thought the delay might mess them up but they got the job done nicely!
-
Stroman is done: 5.2IP 5H 2ER 2BB 8K. Pretty good
-
Dunedin has been delayed for the third day in row. Will Sanchez ever get to pitch...
-
Thanks
-
That's kind of what the discussion degraded into after I was bashed for disagreeing with some of the regulars.
-
No I've only had one account
-
Hopefully Dunedin can finally play tonight and Sanchez can pitch.

I'm just arguing with the people on this board who take all SABR stats as gospel and seem to completely ignore all traditional stats, visual observations and the human elements of the game.
-
Lots of SABR stats
-
This whole debate was about people who only use SABR stats to evaluate players and ignore the human parts of the game. It might be best to ignore it all when you are looking are stats from years of data and looking for average production in the years to come, but there are other important things to look at from game to game.
-
I guess ignoring the effects works over a very large sample, but that's only useful in some circumstances. 2nd point: Again that's over a huge sample and the larger the sample size the less the luck or "real" part of baseball effects the data.
-
I'm talking about people who think they can use stats that do not include crucial information to show how effective a pitcher is.
-
I'm not talking about DIPS.
-
But that's always there. So why wouldn't you take that into account. There's much more that goes into giving up a hit that's under the pitchers control that isn't in FIP and it's almost impossible to put into stats. Why should we ignore that.
-
FIP doesn't even take hits or runs allowed into account. How can you take that seriously?
-
ERA is a pretty good measure of effective the pitcher has been at the most important thing: not giving up runs. ERA corrects towards xFIP, but only over a long period of time. That's probably because FIP includes many of the things that control runs allowed. But it is also missing many of the natural aspects of the game of baseball which is why we still play the games.
