Whoever loses helps

Depends actually.
If we win and the Yankees lose, we close the gap but the Angels are still in the way. Win and the Angels lose and we pass them but still have to make up 4.5 games. If we lose and the Angels lose, we lose a game and we’re starting to creep into that ‘oh shit’ territory.

But at least if they do win, it won’t feel like a complete waste if the Yankees do as well.

with 3, 4, 5, and 6, you'd have a division winner playing a quick elimination series.
Actually, you know, that doesn’t sound so bad. It’s a chance to get rid of a garbage division winner in favor of a better wild-card team.

Keith Law had a nice review...
“Betancourt does nothing well on a baseball field. He can’t hit and has lost bat speed since reaching the majors. He hacks at everything he sees, and even swings at pitches thrown to other hitters. He has next to no range at short. And he never hustles on anything, not balls hit in his direction, not ground balls he might have a chance to beat out (well, before he let himself go physically). Other than all that, he’s Honus Wagner.”

In their defense, Milledge has yet to do anything of relevance, so..
But, yeah, Frenchy is just bad. And when he says things like,“If OBP is so important, why isn’t it on the scoreboard?” then basically there is zero chance he turns his considerable talent into production.

What I did was adjust everything so it was a % of total pitches thrown
That was one of the pains. Quite a bit of the percents were based upon different things. I had to do some adjustments so they were all apples to apples.
by matthan on Jul 10, 2009 6:57 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Why? They allreay are % of pitches?
THe pain is that it may be a nice formula for xK%, but you have to manipulate the #‘s to get the %’s until a site makes it readily available

by FreeZorilla on Jul 10, 2009 6:59 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well that is the problem with any new metric
What I mean is say they have Z-Contact%
Basically what it really is on FG is the percent of contact on balls swung at inside the zone
I wanted the it as a percent of total pitches
- of pitches hit inside the zone/total pitches
And then going a step further and making it Inzone Foul Inzone Inplay etc
by matthan on Jul 10, 2009 7:07 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Right, they are metrics you can legitimately get the #s for with your own formulas

Well of course
If a site just calculated the end result or the metrics needed to calculate the end result then all the merrier.
But really the goal is to get the best statistics as possible. FIP wouldn’t be any better or worse if it wasn’t on FG, same as tRA on SC. Obviously being on a popular site makes those numbers easier to get, easier to use, and more popular. But being on a site doesn’t make it more useful or powerful
