Can someone tell me what the fuck FIP is without being a prick about it. I read up on it but it seems dumb.

Astros fan here: Why should I believe that the end to this season won't be any different than the end to any other season?

I still remember getting swept by the White Sox

>>77120209
Just a weighting mechanism for pitching that attempts to determine the true value of a pitcher independent from defense and luck. Basically it says that a pitcher is only really responsible for if they strike out a batter, walk a batter, give up contact, or give up a home run. Since whether contact turns into hits is not consistent. Other statistics take it a step further and give pitchers credit for what type of contact they give up, like SIERA, since different types of contact produce different offense values.

xFIP is a prediction mechanism for FIP that replaces the HR part with a constant based on league averages and amount of FBs given by the pitcher, since HRs tend to be inconsistent from season to season. xFIP is better for predicting future events and FIP is better at telling you how good a pitcher has been. Both are better at predicting future success than ERA, WHIP, or other traditional pitching statistics.

>>77120304
Right. So any result that winds up in play is ignored by FIP. Strike outs, walks, HBPs, home runs, and innings pitched are all that it takes into account.

For me, it's Tekken

Now when I go to this new plastic replica of a stadium, empty seats behind home plate and all the fucking corporate jerk offs, on the phone, not even watching the fucking game waving to the camera. Good, good decision front office you fucking morons!

We use to go to the ball park and say, "that's where Mickey Mantle homered", "That's where Roger Maris tripled", "That's where Fritz Peterson got a blowjob". But you can't do that anymore! Now you go to this fucking place "ahh that's where Teixeira pulled his left nostril!".

>>77120413
They start by giving Billy Bean some stat sheets and alone time. The amount of times he cums from a player's stats is that player's WAR.

>>77120488
No I can't read. Fielder even in his peak never put up a season as good syndergaard did last year, in his literal sophomore year. A decent 1B falling to injury after he passed his prime and was no longer effective is not even remotely comparable as the no.2 pitcher in baseball losing a whole season to injury.

>>77120549
its probably Ricky then. gllty is kinda cute at times

Oh my. Can you please tell me how much lost total WAR he's worth for this season now?

>>77120615
He's the consensus no.2 pitcher in baseball after Kershaw and has the potential to surpass him. I don't know what you're trying to say.

His total war on the season is 1.4, which was the highest number out of any player at the time.

Alright which one of yous was this?

>>77120673
That's nice, but most experts do, on account of him putting up the highest FIP and fWAR among non-Kershaw pitchers last season and being only 24 years old.

>>77120710
Total innings don't matter, Syndergaard pitched sufficiently better than Scherzer next season that despite less playing time he added more wins, and he was likely to substantially increase his total output on account of his pristine pitching in his playtime this year and general progress as he ages towards his peak.

>>77120731
Sale has a good season this year, it's true, but he's playing on the edges of projected variation during age 28, the average peak year for players.

>>77120780
Why don't you click FIP twice and see what happens?

>>77120756
I'm sure many guys would go ahead if it was Kayo Police

>>77120821

A skill on the part of the team training staff, which unfortunately Syndergaard is cursed with having the worst in baseball.

>>77120850
Sale is better this season then Syndergaard was last season, but other than there is really no comparison with those players and Syndergaard, both in terms of pitching stuff and projeced analytics. The only other pitcher vying for the no. 2 spot has literally died. To even bring up Keuchel shows you know very little. Not to mention all of these guys are 4+ years older than Syndergaard.

>>77120910

Because relief pitching is a different position entirely.

And you guys still don't understand, probably because you failed high school math. If Syndergaard pitched at the same level rate-wise as Scherzer, then obviously Scherzer would be better last season, because he pitched more in total. But syndergaard did not pitch at the same level as scherzer he pitched substantially better, and thus had a higher overall WAR total then scherzer did, despite having less innings. Kershaw also did, despite missing time due to injury, because he's much better than scherzer, putting up the same 6.5 fWAR as Syndergaard. Kershaw deserved to win the Cy Young last year statistically.

Obviously relief pitchers don't even compare in terms of total value added.

At this point is it just DG false flagging the Mets as an anon? This guy is just so pathetic.

>>77121081
Your failure in logic comes from the fact that you assume that if Syndergaard pitched the same amount of innings as Scherzer, he would keep the pace and never throw any bad innings.

>>77121133
No, you're failure in logic comes from failure to understand basic math.

I'm not saying Syndergaard would be better than Scherzer if they pitched the same total innings, I'm saying Syndergaard had a better season despite pitching less innings. He added more total value than Scherzer did last season, despite pitching less innings, and he was projected to add more value again this season. Please don't respond again unless you grasp the capacity to understand basic statistics.

Lets take a poll. Who wins the WS this year?

http://www.strawpoll.me/13434526/r

>>77121204
I see what you're saying. Kershaw and Synderpiss both were more valuable than Max despite throwing less innings. But the truth if the matter is that synderpiss does not have the track record that max and Kershaw have. Just like Alex Wood doesn't have the track record of kershaw which is why his record and ERA are both seen as something to keep an eye for because he hasn't proven himself to be on that kershaw caliber. Synderpiss is good. He just needs to perform at that level for a minimum of 500 innings to be seen as legit. It's that simple.

>AL has more world series wins, tied for Allstar games, and has a winning record overall to the NL in games played
>Since interleague play has been introduced in 1997, 20 years ago the AL has a .528 record in beating the NL and just shy of 300 more wins
>The NL has only had 4 winning seasons since interleague play has been introduced against the AL
>The NL hasn't had more wins in interleague play since 2003. Over a decade ago.

Why isn't the NL trying? Less world series, less regular season wins, and they can't even manage to win the Allstar game.

At this point the majors isn't really the majors when it's obvious one league is always superior to the other.

In order that'd be these 5 teams

The other 2/3rds of the NL bow down to their superior AL Masters.

>implying
My team is in the run for a wildcard and the division title currently, I'm just simply providing all the facts in this old debate of the NL vs AL.

Where on paper, statistically it is shown year after year the American League is vastly superior to the National League.

The only reason why National League teams seem so strong, like the Cubs of last year, Dodgers, and Nationals, isn't because they're the best teams in baseball. It's because they're actually good teams playing in a shit league of perennial basement dwellers and losers pumping their statistics up with wins from shit teams.

>>77123002
Where's your ball afatso

Back when the engineers from Walter P. Moore were designing the retractable roof of Marlins Park, they set out to determine how high the roof would have to be so as not to interfere with balls in play. They studied the air density and temperatures of Miami and plugged those variables into equations from NASA. Then they wrote an algorithm “to generate a volumetric approximation of all the possible batted ball flight paths” and then applied it to their Building Information Modeling to determine the final geometry of the roof structure.

The engineers finally arrived at a height of 210 feet above the ground at its apex (above second base) to make sure no batted ball hit the roof. It tapered to a low of 128 feet above the ground in deep right-centerfield.


Kek, the state of the fucking Marlins.

Giants fan here: i'd trade 2 championships for the team to be good right now.

>>77123051
This is ofcourse, in response to Aaron Judge hitting the Marlins roof twice during the home run derby.

Okay seriously all memes aside, if you could have any five pitchers for the next five or so years, which ones would you pick? No prospects or foreign players. I would do:

Kershaw
Syndergaard
Bumgarner
Sale
Kluber

>>77123140
factor in Judge*

>>77123073
"The Marlins estimated that it cleared one girder and smacked against another at a height off the ground of about 170 feet in deep left-centerfield. Think about that: about 17 stories high after traveling about 300 feet.

Team officials suddenly had to dust off the obscure ground rule that had never been used before and had largely been forgotten. The blast was determined not to be a home run, making it the most massive fair ball ever struck that was not a home run."

Man this Aaron Judge kid is something else.

I think pretty much everyone acknowledges that Trout is better than Judge. That doesn't mean that Judge is bad though.

Chad Green is going to be a great late reliever, and I hope the Yankees realize this before killing his ego by trying to start him. His peripherals are night and day when you look at his starter stats and his reliever stats.

>>77125335
maybe Mike should actually get a personality. we all know he's the modern GOAT, but that doesn't change the fact that he is boring as fuck and stuck on an irrelevant team.

2. Judge is legit and nice to have in MLB. He could end up being the face of the sport for years to come. Harper is an asshole white boy and can't be the face. Trout is a legend but too timid and chill to be the face, unfortunately. Machado is NOT the face of the sport, despite whichever retarded mag decided to say he is. Judge, on the other hand, is a huge fucking freak who is putting up huge numbers. He's also a nigga, so he can compete for media coverage against the elite niggas from other sports. Because of Judge, you might have all the little jiggaboos from Englewood and Detroit wanting to emulate him and the sport will then be full of 6'8"+ elite nigs.

Nah, I wouldn't say it's comparable at all. The Yankees have gotten significantly better at developing pitchers in the past 10 years, and Joba was always set up for failure when everyone was calling him the next Roger Clemens. Green has been extremely effective out of the pen, and has flown under the radar for the most part. The Yankees are really trying to take their time with him to develop him.
