I thought some of these metrics gave us the ability to compare players across generations. Is it OPS+ I'm thinking of?

unfriggen believable.

Well, Arcia is quickly sinking back to Cain levels of offensive production. I'm sure the Arcia hate posts are being t'd up as we speak.

Gosh, your sucha bully. What a witty response.

He tweeted me last year. Does that count for anything? I don't think your account being blocked counts as being "tweeted".

I would argue regardless of the xFIP- comparison that there should have been an expectation of improvement from the staff with the rotation overhaul, not a slight regression. Peripherals are great and sabermetrical measures have come a long way toward giving us better ways to analyze what we see, but they're too often interpreted to be the whole story, rather than just part of the story. There are reasons beyond random chance that some pitchers consistently outperform their peripherals and some pitchers consistently underperform their peripherals. I don't think there should have been expectation of improvement from a rotation that was hoping to employ three first full season starters. Even if they are "more talented" than the guys they were replacing, young talent doesn't always equate to immediate results. It turning out how it has was always a reasonable possibility & that we are still in the thick of the postseason picture with two of our three young starters underwhelming speaks to the strength of the organization as a whole, to me at least. I think using the term "arm talent" was a mistake on my part. To generalize, I don't think we have enough pitching. Even if the young pitchers struggled, we were told repeatedly we had enough depth to cover that. Now people and screaming for Aaron Wilkerson to get a shot, that is the depths we have sunk to. I don't know how they are keeping it together but you are correct in that they ultimately are. Still, I can't help but sense impending doom with this staff.

Woodruff and Davies comment is silly. Both at worst would be #3’s and 4’s and at best #1’s and 2’s. You know what's heavy on irony? You calling someone esle's posts silly.

I was very vocal about being down on the pitching last year. I think Miley was huge. I think Chacin over performed last year. There are other differences. If you watch this team day in and day out do you really sit there and go "yeah, this team has world series caliber pitching". I just don't see it. I hope I'm wrong.

Talent level might have a little bit to do with this. Cubs, Dodgers, Braves, Phillies (our main competition right now) all have far better pitching than we do. I mean, Davies or Woodruff might squeak in as a five on a couple of those rotations and not even sniff the other couple. I think it's a credit to hook that we are as close to those teams as we are. The contenders in the NL just have far more arm talent than we do.
-
At this point I don't have much hope for him ever getting back what he had in the first half of last year. I think it's time to go with Garandal and Pina against lefties and Thames/Shaw and Grandal against righties. It's just a matter of when they are ready to call up Hiura again.
-
You can manipulate the numbers, you can write thesis on the subject and you can put a whole lot of lipstick on that pig, but the bottom line is we don't have enough pitching.

Good grief this post made me sad.

Let's not pretend this isn't a pattern for you. Look, just some friendly advice. Ignore it, lash out over it, I don't really care. -
we will never win another the game

I don't get excited until the triple is in the books. Good park for it though.

I don't know about "looking good" but he's surviving so far. Or not.
