    Bob Uecker giving my old highschool some love. Of course it's name has changed twice since being Boys Tech but that's OK. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    My question is, how do you calculate this stat From baseball-reference.com: and how exactly do you use it? It allows for comparison of players from diffrent teams and/or different years. A .750 OPS from Colorado in 1999 isn't very good at all and OPS+ would expose that.

    Well it was a fun month and a half of the season while it lasted. With these pitchers by the time Sheets and Ohka come back (if ever) the Brewers will be buried at or near the bottom of the pile. Didn't you say that 3 weeks ago?

    Pitchers don't just magically turn good by becoming a starter.

    I like having an offense!
  7. rluzinski
    I'm sorry, but Turnbow is not an elite closer. One season doesn't make you Rivera.

    Wise strikes out the side... all swinging. I just love watching him blow his 90 MPH fastball past everyone. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Cappy getting hit hard ATM.

    What kind of total head count for the tailgating portion are we looking at?
  13. rluzinski
    Seriously, do you think it even matters who's #3 or #5? Flipping them would have virtually no impact to the offense.

    Brewers' turn to bash the Reds early?
  15. rluzinski
    I don't get why everyone always has to rag someone for saying it's a must win. Because about 75% of games after a loss were deemed "must wins" last year. How can any game be a must win in May? Is teh team going to quit if they go 1 game under?
  16. rluzinski
    I agree, motherloveship. I'd probably use the last 3 years or so. Of course, the defensive spectrum is just a guideline anyway.
  17. rluzinski
    Let's face it; a loss here will the final nail in the coffin. If the Brewers lose tonight I'm afraid that a losing season is all but guaranteed. This is a must win by anyone's definition!
  18. rluzinski
    I would still rather face Scott Rolen than Albert. Just me I guess. It's not one or the other. It's Pujols or Rolens with atleast Pujols on base. The later is not better than the former in most cases.

    The fact is, Ned accurately was cautious with his bullpen because of the possibility that Hendrickson would have a short start on Saturday. If Hendrickson has an unusually short start, that means he did very poorly and the probability of winning that game is probably pretty small. You want to leverage the probability of winning a game you already have the lead in to increase the odds of winning a game that is, for all intents and purposes, already a lost cause?
  20. rluzinski
    The short answer is, not really.

    I was under the impression that it was based on defense, as catcher and DH weren't included. It's supposed to be the same thing (I think): Harder (perceived) defensive position = smaller pool of players to draw from = less average offense. I can't seem to find a direct quote from James but I thought that was the underlying principle of the defensive spectrum. I could be completely wrong, however, since I don't have the abstract where James' introduced the concept. Another way to look at it could be that a good defender's value is maximized at a harder position and the more def. value, the less offensive that's needed. I guess that would be the "defense based" way of looking at it.
  22. rluzinski
    Bill James' is based on offense. The one you sight is just from about 2 decades ago.
  23. rluzinski
    His post adds to the stats mothership provided rather than refuting them. Exactly. I was merely adding to the data presented, which happened to also be the most current and therefore relevant. The defensive spectrum is about the perceived relative difficulty and importance of defensive at each position. As such, as the game changes and managers continuously reevaluate the value of defense at each position, you?ll see changes to the defensive spectrum. Dan Fox looked at how the defensive spectrum changed throughout the history of baseball: 1900-1910 [ OF - 2B - 1B - 3B - SS - C ] 1911-1930 [ OF - 1B - 2B - 3B - C - SS ] 1931-1972 [ 1B - OF - 3B - C - 2B - SS ] 1973-1995 [ DH - 1B - OF - 3B - C - 2B - SS] 1996-2003 [ DH - 1B - LF - RF - 3B - CF - C - 2B - SS] The spectrum is not statistic, nor its order absolute. It?s just a guideline and right now, it appears managers value defense at 2B only slightly more than at CF. Considering the higher value an average play in the OF has over an average IF play, I can appreciate why. Here?s the Dan Fox articles on the subject: Defensive Spectrum Defensive Spectrum Redux Defensive Spectrum Again

    Couldn't agree more, end. You play for the game you are playing. Davis shouldn't have been set up to fail, IMO.

    Dave Bush is terrible. End of story. And here's me exiting the IGT. Milwaukeebrewers.com just invaded.
