Use FIP, not ERA.

If you judge every pitcher solely on ERA, then it's not a valid analysis.

as if judging solely on FIP is any better.

It's a lot better than judging solely ERA.

Use both to get an accurate assessment.

not really.

 

[sf2fanatic]

One more for the good guys.

Take the split and run. Could of gone 4-0 either way

 

[clav]

not really.

Explain?

SIERA works, too.

Looking only at ERA and predicting a team from there isn't healthy.

It's why I hate when the team plays at AT&T Park. They just collapse.

FIP is a perfectly good stat, and it can be illustrative in certain situations, but it's idiotic to think it's some be-all, end-all measure of a pitcher's quality.

It's a composite of homers allowed, walks allowed, and strikeouts, which are certainly not the only important things when it comes to pitching.

Edit for your edit - Looking at any single stat is a silly way to measure the quality of any pitcher (or hitter, for that matter.) They all mean and show us something, but none of them are the whole story.

 

[Earthbound64]

They have no chance at all.

 

[Sanjuro]

Sale is unreal so far.

So tasty

[Joshmyersbv]

Sale was worth a lot dough but he's paying off big time. Make me some money!

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Glad to see Fowler heating up

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Welp that's the game

 

[BFIB]

St. Louis Grit.

 

[Sanjuro]

They are advertising Super Benintendi.

Also, what the fuck.......

 

[Chase17]

Poor Sale lol

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Sale's out of gas


He's pitched his heart out and got literally zero run support. Criminal

 

[captmcblack]

This Yankees team is making me feel things early...I'm not prepared for that.

 

[SRTtoZ]

I'm sure you will be fine without him but as a Yankee fan it makes me feel much better knowing we don't have to go through Ortiz anymore. He always came up big against us.

 

[KidA Seven]

YES TOLES

The youth winning us the game today. Hopefully Bellinger can adjust. I'm ready to see him destroy a pitch.

 

[StoveOven]

It's a relief to see Tanaka so dominant after the rough start to the season

Tanaka outperforms Sale. Wow, huge game by him.

Fantastic game by Tanaka

sports dailies in Tokyo are going to go nuts over this performance

 

[Malo]

Did not see that coming, but I'm glad it did!

I think I'm starting to believe in this team guys...

 

[jman2050]

I'm not sure what's going on with the Sox offense. Papi was just one player.

i wouldn't worry too much, when Moncada comes up things should improve

And the second best FIP in beisbol.

Game lasted 2:21, thats could be a record for Yankees -Sox games.

I was There tonight ...towards the end when Yanks got two more runs, a scuffle between a yankee fan and a Sox fan happened, it ended with 2 red sox fan taken out of the park, Im pretty sure one of them was Sanjuro.

Too bad for Sale, How many runs the Sox has score in all of his starts? Less than 10?

Not joking. They've only scored 4 runs combined in Chris Sale's 5 starts.

Dude's gonna end up with a 5-11 record and a 2.3 ERA

Yankees now have the lowest team ERA in baseball at 2.90.

56 runs against over 19 games after opening the season. 20% of their games have resulted in 1 run against or less.

Nothing new for him.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Can Atkins start trading the FAs pls

 

[jello44]

Late on this but whatever.

Altuve gets a pinch-hit base hit then TOOTBLANs when down by run.

Reddick then Beltran both get base hits. WHICH WOULD HAVE TIED THE FUCKING GAME.

God...

Remember that moment we let ourselves get excited about the Jays? It's done. They're still shitty.

glad I wasn't watching. Wasn't he thrown out like twice last week?

Athletics lefty Sean Manaea exited yesterday’s game after just two innings due to left shoulder tightness, per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. The departure of yet another of the Athletics’ top starters is troubling enough, but Slusser adds that Manaea’s velocity was topping out at 90 mph on Wednesday — a far cry from the 95 mph at which he usually tops out and from the 92.5 mph he’s averaged thus far in 2017.

pitchers suck

On July 31, 2016, #Yankees GM Cashman compared Aaron Hicks to JBJ. Since then:

Hicks: .284/.367/.510 (155 AB)

JBJ: .217/.303/.387 (230 AB)

🤔🤔
