In the interest of again satisfying the supernatural and superstitious forces of the universe, I will once more create a game thread that I will not have an opportunity to hang out in later! Tran

Read a funny tweet that said that the Yankees have Soto and Judge and 7 guys trying to get hit by a pitch.

Melanie said Cowser “smashes it”  and then described that 3 Rangers converged on the ball. That seemed odd to me, so I checked the statcast.  He smashed it 75mph. 

I rarely listen to games on the radio for more than a few innings. Last night I heard almost the whole game on radio. I learned (or started to learn) not to react to Newman's initial calls, which were often wrong, confusing and/or incomplete, and to wait until after the play, when she usually will describe what happened.

Mountcastle's first ball was 105 off the bat and 36 degree angle.  It went 395 and stayed in.

 

Kjerstad's HR was 104 off the bat and 35 degree angle.  It went 415 and was gone by a good amount.

 

Baseball is weird.

      I’m guessing it’s #3. I was a bit worried about #4, but if that was the case, don’t think that Suarez would be pitching today.

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

      Are you OK with context independent batting inputs that are used in WAR?  It feels like pitching and hitting should be symmetrical in terms of how they factor in sequencing.   FRV is definitely better than DRS for outfielders, as @tangotiger convincingly argues here.  For infielders, it’s more debatable, especially 1B where only DRS accounts for picks. By the way, Fangraphs WAR leaderboard allows you to toggle between FIP, RA9, and a 50/50 mix.  Cowser beats Gil regardless of the approach.

      Hm, seems like perfect situation for Akin as an opener, maybe game 3 if necessary?

      Another possibility: If you win game 1, maybe you don't ptich Eflin in Game 2 and try to win Game 2 without using him.   I mean, worst that can happen is you lose and have Eflin for game 3 anyway.   So you won't lose the wild card series without pitching your two best. But you COULD win the wild card series without your two best, and then you would have Eflin and Burnes lined up for games 1 and 2 in Cleveland

      I like Law a lot, but that is a beyond asinine comment about not playing every day on a playoff team. You know how many playoff teams would slot him in the lineup immediately every game? Answer: the large majority. The Yankees would take Cowser over Verdugo The Tigers might not put him in over Greene/Meadows/Carpenter, but they’d DH him over their options. Cowser would start over every outfielder for the Royals, IMHO. He’d start over Meyers and Dubon for the Astros. The Guardians would probably start him over anybody not named Kwan in the OF, tbh.  I can keep going.

      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.
