I was going off the TV schedule that someone else cited. So, I’m assuming there’s a 1 pm game. This may not mean anything, but the Os game is listed first in the MLB website and other than Detroit, all the other teams in the wildcard round are outside of the eastern time zone. 

OK, I now see a post on Twitter that says games at 1, 2, 4:30, and 8.

That's different form last year.

I've never heard of the Twitter poster so I can't 100% say it's true but apparently that is the case.

No, it was Jacob-something and they specifically nsaid 1/2/4/8

Like I said no idea who they are so can't attest to the validity,

My tV guide says the same. I have to think they don’t know for sure until the teams are known. 
 

Have to think Mets/Braves would be prime time. SD later start. Houston I guess would be another afternoon game. I’m hoping Orioles play at 3 and not 2.

    • 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 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.
    • 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.  
    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • Win game 1, Kremer/Suarez game 2, win game 2, Eflin game 1 ALDS? Win game 1, Kremer/Suraez game 2, lose game 2, Eflin game 3? Lose game 1, Eflin game 2?
