Senior managers are paid to make tough decisions. Much rides on the outcome of those decisions, and executives are judged?quite rightly?on their overall success rate. It?s impossible to eliminate risk from strategic decision making, of course. But we believe that it is possible for executives?and companies?to significantly improve their chances of success by making one straightforward (albeit not simple) change: expanding their tool kit of decision support tools and understanding which tools work best for which decisions.

Sometimes just a bit more data can come in handy.

I know in today's world it is fashionable to have a decision made so that that the future can begin.

Any decision.

But sometimes, even a short delay can help in accuracy.

It does not always have to be about immediate gratification.

A lot less then disagreed with me in Spring Training.

He's not hitting. The personal stuff shouldn't even factor in here. He's not hitting the ball well and we can't afford to keep giving him plate appearances over guys like Paredes, Parmelee, Snider and Reimold who are hitting

He has 13 plate appearances over the last 12 games, it isn't like he is even being used. If it weren't for his performance as a pinch hitter last season he would already be gone.

I wasn't going just with the personal stuff.

My argument was that Nolan provided more value out of the 25 man roster spot.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Even more of a reason to like FG over BBref,  tbh. Thanks, didn’t realize they switched this year. My point re: FIP is that I rather prefer it over RA/9, not to say it’s perfect. RA/9 treats all runs allowed by a pitcher the same regardless of them being earned or unearned. So, a pitcher on a team with a terrible defense is going to be judged much more harshly than somebody that pitches on a top tier defense. Not to mention the bullpen taking over mid inning dilemma. The funny thing is in your example re: FIP, RA/9 would have the first pitcher but love the second. Either way, these stats, like nearly all single solitary stats, aren’t best taken alone.  For your example, let’s say Pitcher A allowed weak contact and the defenders just had poor range, poor arms, whatever, but in the second example the defenders had great range and great arms making amazing plays to prevent any damage…then what?  Anyways, give me FIP over RA/9 was my point. But if you want to truly assess a pitcher, you’re going to need a few complimentary stats to go along with it.

      Really zooming the microscope in on one game with Tarik Skubal, would you consider batting Austin Slater 3rd or 4th to basically pinch hit in the 1st inning, and then replace him in LF with Cowser in the top of the 2nd inning. A tactic that might look good to the SIGBOT but could freak out actual ballplayers.

      It would make sense. I think there are four possibilities for not announcing Eflin yet: 1. It’s going to be Eflin, we’re just waiting to announce to make it harder for Tigers/Royals to prepare. 2. Hyde and FO are discussing whether to slot Eflin for game 3 to possibly save him for ALDS game 1. 3. Hyde and FO are discussing a possible opener strategy for game 2. 4. Eflin has some minor aches/pains/soreness so we’re delaying the announcement to make sure he will be healthy enough.

      I can see the arguments for and against.  Gunnar may have had an opinion.

      9/29 Game 162 vs Twins. End of regular season

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      I know I've been a Oriole critic these last few months but many of us have and deservedly so but congrats are really in order for a team that was decimated with injuries especially the pitching staff and still found a way to 90 wins and the playoffs. The first Orioles team with back to back 90 plus wins since the 1982, 1983  teams. Wow.  That's hard to believe. Also back to back playoff teams something the Machado, Jones, Markakis and Wieters led teams couldn't even pull off.

      Pitching strategy could be rich. I think some of why Hyde was coy about Game 2 Eflin is are the Orioles thinking about using someone out of Povich, Akin, Cionel, Coulombe or Soto against Carpenter and Greene in the 1st inning. Carpenter and Greene in 3 days maybe get 2-3 looks at Burnes and 1 at Eflin in that scenario.

      To expand on that last point, Cowser ranks 51 out of 51 in xwOBA vs LHP since Aug 1 among left-handed hitters with at least 40 PA vs LHP in that window.  However, it doesn’t feel fair to disregard the first four months.
