Sydin posted:The most annoying thing about digital tickets is that at MLB games every time I get up to grab concessions or take a piss I have to fumble with my phone and pull up the MLB app to show the the usher who insists on seeing my ticket again despite this being like the tenth time we've done this song and dance. It also means I have to worry about my phone battery life because if my old piece of poo poo phone dies then I suddenly have no ticket. Seems to vary by stadium, must be an owner thing.

mcmagic is incapable of internalizing the concept of postseason chaos. It’s all completely deterministic in his yankeebrain. If you lose it’s cause you’re a Loser who can’t Win, no other outcome was possible. Admitting otherwise would imply that the Great Yankees of his youth also got a bit lucky sometimes, instead of all being supermen with special Yankee Winner Mojo.

Idk if this is just wild speculation or real, but drat might as well get Correa too and force Dodgers fans to root for all the guys we loathe https://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/1592640187129298944?s=46&t=CdijuUBoYJQO5dJ5MvLFxA JV is the last of the big four that hasn’t been a Dodger yet so might as well complete the set I guess?

Dodgers should sign deGrom and Verlander, then don’t let either of them or Kershaw pitch until August.

Here’s a crude WAR-like metric based on xERA. Assume replacement level xERA is about 5.00 (where you set this isn’t particularly important for ranking the pitchers at the top, it just changes the scaling. Edit: actually it does matter since it changes the breakpoint in terms of how many innings it takes to make up for a higher xERA. Alcantara stays on top as long as replacement level xERA is at least 4.50. Below that Nola passes him, but you’d have to drop replacement level all the way down to 3.90 before Rodon passes Sandy, and I think we can safely say that’s not realistic in 2022) “xWAR” = (5.00 - xERA) * IP  Alcantara comes out on top because his volume was enough to overcome the slightly worse xERA bawfuls fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Nov 17, 2022 |

The unanimous vote leapfrogs Verlander (5.21) ahead of Scherzer (4.61) and Kershaw (4.58) in career Cy Young award shares. He also passes Maddux (4.92) to take third all time on that list, behind Johnson (6.50) and Clemens (7.66). Previous to this year he was 8th all time behind Pedro and Carleton, just ahead of Seaver.

If Hal calls up Cohen and says “hey you’re not gonna gently caress me over on Judge right? Like just lay off we don’t need to get into a bidding war here” that would be collusion.

GalacticAcid posted:Re pitching awards literally the only stats I would take into account are innings pitched, ERA, and maybe strikeouts on the margin. xERA etc don’t tell you who had the best season. Among publicly available metrics, xERA is the best at isolating the individual contributions of a pitcher. Where ERA gives pitchers full credit or blame for all batted ball events, and FIP gives them zero credit/blame (unless it goes over the fence), xERA gives them appropriate partial credit by parsing batted ball data. If you give up a lot of line drives at 95+ exit velo, you're gonna give up a lot of runs. However the exact number of runs allowed is subject to noise out of the pitchers control (defensive positioning & skill, weird hops, etc). Over a long timeline, this noise evens out which is why ERA is still informative at the career level (with basic adjustments for run environment). So I'd argue xERA does a better job of telling you which pitcher had the better season than ERA does, because it's method of stripping defense from the data is a lot more sophisticated and accurate than Errors.
