BTW just checked. Despite recent flubs and a -2.8 dWAR, Severino has .5 FWAR overall(and a 104 WRC)

Sisco has -6.4 dWAR and overall a -.2 FWAR( and a 94 WRC.) Maybe it’s a race to the bottom, but according to Fangraphs, Severino remains better.

Fangraphs incorporates their in house framing metrics into their dWAR for catchers.

I'd be wary of it.

Thanks. Man, you’re my Miss Moneypenny...just ask and you give it.

seriously though, why do you use BBR and not Fangraphs? BBR has always seemed hard to navigate compared to Fangraphs.

Teach a man to fish and all that.

I use both depending on what I am looking at.  Something like splits they have the same information.

I don’t like fish. But I take your point. That’s why I stay at FG. It’s easier so far and always referring to one WAR is more clear than bouncing back and forth.

I wouldn’t want to drive over 800 miles at night. Plenty of motels along the way I’m sure.

Not 800. 500 max. And all highway miles. Across and up 85, then up 95 thru Richmond to DC/Balmer. 10 hours for food and rest stop breaks.

But I disagree with Fangraphs' catching metrics while  preferring their pitching.

If I take what I think is the best of both and clearly mark which I am using isn't that better?

In his last 4 outings combined, Wojciechowski has doled out 12 Free Passes (11 Walks and 1 Hit Batsman) in only 18.67 Innings Pitched.

That said, 4 out of his last 6 starts previous to today have been solid, and I am thrilled that he has managed to keep the Red Sox off of the scoreboard in this still very young game so far.

    • It's pretty hard to say definitively that the bolded is true.  It might be, but there's also the loss in ability you have to account for.  30 year olds are slower than 26 year olds too.  Maybe their game knowledge and practice have made it so they can overcome the meager loss in bat speed/athleticism over that time span.  But the picture is a bit muddy.   I also don't think the aging issue is limited to people in their mid-late 30s.  Bat speed peaks at like 24 or 25 based on the data we have right now on it, and after 31 starts falling off fairly fast.  Obviously this is population data and individuals are likely to see different curves.   But outside of the stars that have a lot of ability to lose, it's becoming pretty clear that once you hit your early 30s it's pretty hard to maintain your skills without all the "help" that is extensively tested for.   I think that even for early-30s players teams are much more willing to drop them over giving them expensive market-rate deals, especially since they can abuse young talent so readily.
    • After a really dumb day at work, this was an absolutely delightful read. Seeing a diamond expert and a can of corn detonate a yoked PBA pro was absolutely wonderful. I love this website. 
    • If you pitch Bradish on 5 days rest you'd pitch Rodriguez on 3 days rest?
    • I think if you look at it draft by draft most years Elias did not have a chance to take a pitcher early. 2019 was Adley/Witt, 2020 everyone wanted Austin Martin SS over Kjerstad, 2021 it was Cowser or a few high school SS, and 2022 it was 5 position players at the top of the draft. I think Asa Lacy or Max Meyer were the only pitchers we could have possibly taken up until last year. 
    • Damn I wish I was that guy
    • Crochet had a monstrous game tonight. 7 IP 2 H 1 ER 2 BB 13 Ks I would love to have him even if it meant moving him to the bullpen for the final stretch but someone is gonna drastically overpay for him with top of rotation potential and 2x additional seasons of club control.    assuming it starts with Mayo, Kjerstad, Povich etc
