So it's probably going to be a repeat of 2014 playoffs vs the Tigers. Let's invite Delmon Young to throw out the first ball. Lol. I'm not looking forward at all to facing Skubal but then I tell myself at least it's just him 2014 the Birds had to go through Verlander, Scherzer and Price and found a way so let's get this done. 

Interested in hearing who you guys think will win this series and how many games ?

Ok SG yes it could still be Bal vs KC and Hou vs Det but I do not see the the Tigers dropping the next 2 to the Sox. Anyway  that's fine we can revisit this tomorrow night when this is official 

You are the one who started the thread with a title that said “looks like Detroit…”

I said it last year and I'll say it again. Be careful what you wish for in praying for KC. Everyone wanted TEX last year. Who cares who they play, just win. They can beat any team, everyone here is terrified of DET.

      2024 Yankees - Aaron Judge/Juan Soto friendship watch

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Judge K'ed 5 times today.  Must have been taking HR swings on every hack.  Is there even a term for 5 K's?  Platinum sombrero?

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Jackson was on base 5 times today and no one noticed.  I bet if he struck out 3 times and went 0 for 4 there would have been 10 posts.  Maybe not the greatest pitchers he was facing, but still mlb pitchers and several different ones.  No denying that Jackson had a rough rookie season.  I hope today was a sign of a lot of good things to come and Jackson will be Baltimore's leadoff hitter for years.

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

      By capyy · Posted

      great explanation, thank you.   I may be a little bias but all I'm hearing is fWAR is far better   baseball references negative defensive WAR value for cowser also just doesn't pass the eye test. he's a plus value defender.

      Playoff closer

      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.

      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.
