Taylor has actually been quite a bit better against RHP than LHP this season.
-
Garrett Mitchell this month has an OPS of .507, while Tyrone Taylor has an OPS of 1.026....
-
Crap. Hader was the beneficiary of some good defense in the 9th. Padres win.
-
And K-BB%, CSW%, etc. is not evaluative???? FIP is fine, but again it doesn't give you the full picture because it says nothing about Burnes' higher than league average HR/FB rate. xFIP does.
-
Best of luck to Keston Hiura next season...

Tough crowd that doesn't seem to remember the state of the Milwaukee Brewers during the turn of the century....Woe to Stearns and Counsell for bringing us 4 straight (5?) postseason appearances and by far the greatest run of success in our history. Oh, that's right I forgot, Stearns got "fleeced" in the Hader trade. Fire him immediately! -
FWIW, with all the complaining about how Adames has regressed this season, he's actually been significantly better this year by fWAR at 4.2....Has also become one of the elite defensive SS in the game.
-
I could say the same for you using ERA in 2022, Mr. "I just got here but I already know more than everybody else". And I've read the article. It does recognize that that xFIP and SIERA are more predictive stats, but it also doesn't say that they shouldn't be used in evaluating performance. In fact, one of the reasons why they are so useful is because they remove from consideration things that are out of a pitcher's control, like a higher than league average HR/FB rate which is responsible for a lot of Burnes' increase in ERA and FIP this year. Even then, I provided you more than just xFIP and SIERA, like K-BB%, CSW%, etc.. But you do you....
-
Just put us back in the AL East....
-
No. Over 100 pitches. Still a three run game. Go to Devin and get the win.
-
Don't worry. He might reach 61 tomorrow against Alexander.

ACE

Interesting. Andujar is supposed to be a huge butcher in the field. That was a pretty good catch.
-
Beautiful job from Woody. Let's bring Devin in again in the 8th for Judge, Stanton, and Torres.
-
Woody has been so good since coming off the IL.
-
I'm talking about qualified starters @wiguy94, which makes the most sense to compare Corbin to since those are his peers.. 6th in xFIP, 6th in K-BB%, 5th in SIERA, 1st in Whiff%, 2nd in CSW%, and so forth (also 1st in WARP FWIW). All stats which separate the pitchers who may be overachieving in terms of ERA and FIP from the pitchers who are actually that good. Hence, pretty easily a top 10 pitcher this season.
-
Never said he hadn't fallen off some from last year. Last year, he was historically dominant despite a limited number of innings due to the pandemic. But he was never going to maintain that minuscule HR rate which is why his FIP (and other numbers) are higher this year. Even so, he's still easily been a top 10 pitcher in the league. ERA and FIP are just about the worst tools for evaluating pitcher performance and quality, especially when we have so many other metrics nowadays.
-
His FIP is higher due to the higher HR rate this year, which pitchers honestly don't have that much control over from year to year. By advanced stats like xFIP, K-BB%, SIERA he's still easily been top 10 in MLB.
-
He's the same guy that thinks that Burnes' start on Wednesday in which he went 7 IP 3 ER was just a typical Alexander start (despite the fact that Alexander hasn't had a better start all season), so I guess it's a losing battle. But, yes, great example!
-
But you started off by talking about the pitchers being disappointing on the whole season, when Burnes has been one of the best pitchers in the league again this year. He had a few rough starts in the last month or so, but you're going to get stretches like that with literally every other elite pitcher in the game. Again, I'll repeat that the reason why our pitching hasn't produced like they did last year is because of the injuries to the big guys and the fact that we've had to give innings to Gonzalez, Alexander, etc. in their place.
-
Burnes has been one of the best pitchers in the league again this season. Not quite as dominant as he was last year, but still really good. He had a rough three start stretch in late August to early-September, but what pitcher on earth is immune from those types of rough patches? The real problem is that due to injuries we've had to give innings to guys like Chi Chi Gonzalez, Jason Alexander, Trevor Kelley, etc. where we didn't have to last year.
-
I thought you gave up on the season
-
Even if we don't make the playoffs, I've been having a lot more fun watching this team over the last week or so. Hopefully they keep it up. Padres get Gallen tomorrow and we have Woody on the mound.
-
Exactly. All of his rough starts early in the season came on the road in chilly environments. Way too much of a coincidence with later diagnosis of Reynaud's.
-
The kid is clutch.
-
Both Woodruff and Peralta have missed huge chunks of the season. Difficult to be one of the best pitching staffs with those guys missing time.
