While still playing Frazier in 141 games.  As you stated, his defense cratered, yet he STILL got into 141 games.  Sure sounds like defense is their #1 priority, no?  🙂  

Alarming for a team that’s supposedly using analytics to make decisions.

You can go back to May 1 and his wRC+ since then is 155. If you go back to April 14, his wRC+ is still 134. He started the season 2-23 and everyone acted like he forgot not to hit, even thou

His defense. By Fielding Bible's metric, been our best defensive player besides Adley over the past two seasons.  His versatility. He rated as an above average defender at 3B, 2B, and 1B.  H

We have a great situation.  But what we are seeing is essentially the pain of asset management.  Yes we have new owners with fat checkbooks.  We also have a GM who has been running an asset collection

Nice try.  He started 106 games at 2B.  I would guess the frequency of his starts decreased as the year went on.  They started the season committed to Frazier who, since 2018 had both strong DRS and OAA numbers.  He didn’t come as advertised.   They greatly reduced his time at 2B in the 2nd half.

They shouldn't have greatly reduced his time, they should have released him. They still played him

Yes, a lot of terrible decisions on the way to 101 wins.

Oh yea Adam Fraizer was definitely how they got 101 wins.  

Maybe not.  But we can all make plenty of bad decisions in life (and managing a team) and still overcome!  Or we can look at the molehill and whine about it.

Adam Frazier is the Kevin Bacon of the Hangout message board.  Regardless of the topic being discussed, you're never more than six steps (at most) from talking about ol' number 12.

He looks like he’s lost two steps on the basepaths. 

 

He looked like he had a trailer attached yesterday. I didn’t think that play at home would be close at all. 
 

Also, learned something new.  OPS+ can go into the negative.  Urias is at -48.  Yikes.  Hope he gets hot soon (likely won’t be in Pitt brrr).

Most of us learned that one when Davis was on the team.

I mean he did come up with some really clutch hits last year. 

He produced arguably the best moment of the year: the two-out, two-strike double down the line that scored Mateo with the game-tying run in the 9th inning of the season finale with Tampa on Sept.  17.   

But honestly, can we just move on?   Nobody’s changing their mind about Frazier, and it’s 2024.   Enough of that topic already.

      Playoff closer

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I would be OK with this and it’s what Hyde was doing with Kimbrel in a way too. We’ve got guys that can match up, let’s try to take advantage.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      By accinfo · Posted

      A 90 win season with Grayson missing at least 10 starts, Means and Bradish missing at least 20 each.  Throw in Tyler Wells missing most of the season and other injuries I think this team and its management has done well.  If just a little more healthy they could have had back to back 100 win seasons.  I am glad we have Mike Elias and Brandon Hyde leading this team.

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

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Some interesting things of note from https://www.samford.edu/sports-analytics/fans/2023/Sabermetrics-101-Understanding-the-Calculation-of-WAR. I pulled out the relevant areas: Fangraphs allocates 570 WAR for position players and 430 WAR for pitchers, while Baseball-Reference allocates 590 WAR for position players and 410 WAR for pitchers The major difference between fWAR and bWAR comes from the measurement of fielding runs, which is the defensive output a player provides. Fangraphs uses a statistic called Ultimate Zone Rating (UZR), while Baseball-Reference uses a statistics called Defensive Runs Saved (DRS). The differences in these stats can lead to drastically different calculations in WAR for some position players. UZR takes into account 3 years of players’ data as well as MLB data to determine these percentages, whereas DRS uses essentially 1 year of data. Therefore, some rookies will have drastically different UZR and DRS stats. As opposed to positional players, Fangraphs and Baseball-Reference take drastically different steps in calculating the WAR of pitchers. It does not follow the formula for position players but does try to calculate the “wins” that a pitcher gives to their team. Instead, they use a “base” statistic to help calculate WAR. Fangraphs uses FIP, or fielding independent pitching, as its base for calculating pitchers' WAR, whereas Baseball-Reference focuses on Runs Allowed per 9 innings (RA9) for its base I think the main takeaway for Gil, bWAR likes him more than FanGraphs probably because FG aims to take the defensive element out of the calculation by centering on FIP. And if we look at FIP, his is close to 4. But Baseball Reference is using RA9 which does have a defensive element inherently calculated. As for Cowser, I reckon FG likes him more than BBRef particularly on the defensive metric side of things. Maybe BBRef is harsher on the DRS side than FG is on the UZR side. To me, I like FG for pitchers far more than BBRef. For position players, I’d give the nod to FG but mainly because I think DRS can have some wide swings where UZR has a tendency to be more centered.

      Climbing the list of most O’s wins in two consecutive seasons

      By Frobby · Posted

      The win tonight in game 161 allowed the 2023-24 Orioles to reach 191 wins, tied with the 1964-65 and 1965-66 teams for the 7th most wins in consecutive seasons.  With a win tomorrow, they could move up to a tie for 5th. Tonight’s win also gave the O’s 275 wins over the last 3 seasons, tied for 11th with the 1975-77 and 1976-78 O’s.  They could move into a tie for 10th with a win tomorrow.
