    I agree. I understand why people are hesitant to trust Paddack at this point but... wow his stuff looks crazy. Upped fastball velo, the big curveball, and the wiffleball changeup. I mean, he cant be worse than winder or floro

    In the case of run creation the home run is 4 runs, and the double 2-3, and so on. But yes they all lead to a win. You are right that it isn't situational like WPA or another stat like that. But its far better at predicting future success than something like WPA. We're getting to the point where "impact" or "impactful" is going to need to have a mutually agreed upon definition or we will be talking in circles. If it means 'that which leads to more wins' I could say WRC+ and wOBA are highly related to winningness, more than stats like Batting Average People don't like these stats "cuz spreadsheets" they like them because their highly related to current and future success.

    No, he has a 102 WRC+ as a 1B, which is well below the average for 1B. But he has been average (across all players) at creating runs

    I chose my language carefully. If you're having trouble understanding the argument I invite you to reread the article

    We dont "know" that, you just feel that way
  6. LonelyseatinMOA
    We are judging baseball players by their ability to create runs

    Why do people want Giolito so bad? he's been doo doo recently
  8. LonelyseatinMOA
    They fixed Aroldis Chapman..... somehow

    I'll be honest, when I saw the all of the clamoring for Funderburk on Twins Daily I was reminded of another big lefty in AAA st paul and I thought to myself "look at these fools, this time last year everyone wanted Evan Sisk to be called up. And now look at him, stuck at AAA for KC with a 7 ERA". Maybe I was wrong...... maybe not. But regardless, congrats to Kody Funderburk and a "job well done" for a great debut relief appearance.

    single season defensive metrics are hilariously unreliable and "gold glove considerations" should mean next to nothing to us in our evaluations of player defense

    anyone feeling a Correa 10 day might be in order? let Royce man SS for a while and see if some rest helps the plantar faciitis
  12. LonelyseatinMOA
    Nice piece Cody. Just a heads up, it cannot be read in dark mode

    If I can remember correctly in spring training the shoulder didn't seem to effect him at all. He had 5 HR and a 1.200 OPS in 45 ABs in spring training
  14. LonelyseatinMOA
    Probably Matthews, Lewis, then Culpepper in that order. But how likely is it that any make it? tough to say at this point. Matthews and Lewis are near the top of the minor league leaderboard when it comes to K%-BB% which is very promising

    I'd love to see some more Nick Gordon at bats, I think he's looked quite good recently
  16. LonelyseatinMOA
    They may want Garlick for Saturday game against CLE LHP Logan Allen
  17. LonelyseatinMOA
    I am very confident in him and his few bad outings don't worry me
  18. LonelyseatinMOA
    Very excited to see Louie pitch today. I see a quality start for him today
  19. LonelyseatinMOA
    No hitter through 5 innings, sorry everyone!
  20. LonelyseatinMOA
    Sorry to be a doomer but I'm predicting that Kopech is gonna surprise some folks today
  21. LonelyseatinMOA
    I am predicting a larchad homer today
  22. LonelyseatinMOA
    just a note: it is not possible to read this article in dark mode. Nice article though

    They way I heard it being proposed was it is an attempt at standardizing stickiness rather than trying to determine which substances a pitcher can use. However, you bring up good points and there are problems with it. I agree that it was incredibly silly how and why scherzer was ejected
  24. LonelyseatinMOA
    I heard on the tipping pitches podcast that instead of a lab test for foreign compounds the umpires could do a field stickiness test. It would involve the pitcher grip an object of a specified weight and turn over their hand, if the object sticks to their hand and doesn't fall to the ground they are ejected, if it falls their hand is fine. That would be a good way to standardize hand stickiness and make sure these rules are being applied fairly and evenly. The only thing is that MLB would need to fund some studies to find out what the weight of the object should be

    Silly Umpire, he should've know that K2-EDTA is the best compound to dissolve rosin not Isopropyl alcohol
