    Let’s Stop Pretending That Pitchers Can Hit

    This was probably a lot more true in the 1970's than the 2010's. Starting pitchers just don't go long into games like they used to so that late inning decision to PH has pretty much been removed. In fact, from 2008-2016 NL starters have avg more IP per start than AL starters in 4 of the 8 years...

    Let’s Stop Pretending That Pitchers Can Hit

    I've posted evidence several times that this isn't really true unless you define "strategy" under a very specific set of parameters. Essentially gaming the definition to fit the pre-conceived conclusion.

    Well you're all wrong. Just my opinion. :D

    Is Paul Goldschmidt past his prime?

    I don’t even know what you’re trying to say. Can you show that the DBacks would have won 6-8 games in May with an average Goldschmidt? Not 2, not 5, and not 10, but 6-8? This all starts with @Dback Jon stating t was “indisputable” that the DBacks list 6-8 games because of his slump. I said...

    Pittsburgh Pirates @ Arizona Diamondbacks Jun 11 - Jun 13

    Oh that's an easy answer. It's "6-8" games. ;) Yeah I have no idea what information Lovullo or the FO are using regarding Goldschmidt's spot in the order, but hitting him 2nd is the best spot to put him in analytically, especially during his hot streak.

    Pittsburgh Pirates @ Arizona Diamondbacks Jun 11 - Jun 13

    I love that Goldschmidt is batting 2nd. Some of that "analytics" stuff going on I'd assume. :)

    Is Paul Goldschmidt past his prime?

    I don't know what I'm supposed to do with "chatter on 98.7". I don't know who that is or what they know or why I should listen to them to be honest. I know that the current WS champs certainly believe in analytics and so do many other very successful teams out there. I know that analytics broke...

    Well, you've successfully pivoted from your bullcrap "numbers" you threw out to a question of any analytical data at all. How very Republican of you Jon. You should work for Fox News.

    Is Paul Goldschmidt past his prime?

    So you think Goldy performing as usual would have been worth "6-8 more wins in the month of May" and you can prove it? Otherwise, what's the point here?

    Is Paul Goldschmidt past his prime?

    Go tell all the MLB front offices that their analytics departments are simply a waste of time. You've got it all figured out.

    Is Paul Goldschmidt past his prime?

    That's impossible to know with any level of accuracy. Too many variables to account for. Even over a whole season a players contribution to team wins is simply an estimate with accuracy still being debated. The only human element you're accounting for in your numbers is where you've pulled them...

    Is Paul Goldschmidt past his prime?

    You're making a claim you can in no way support or back up. You tried and I easily poked holes in it. I could poke more. It's not about every PA being an isolated event, but it's the sheer amount of variables you're ignoring or hand waving to get where you WANT to go. Not where the information...

    Is Paul Goldschmidt past his prime?

    "Analysis" huh? The best WAR (Wins Above Replacement) last year was Judge at 8.2. That means he was around 8 wins better than a replacement players over a whole season. 5/19, 5/23, 5/27, and 5/30 break your analysis in the negative (Goldy hit and we didn't win) Why would you even get into an...

    Hence the "if you don't consider point 1". Meaning if you discount needing enough AB to qualify, Corbin isn't the leader in BA. Under no scenario was your statement correct was the point. Funny that BIM liked it without checking the stats too.

    Sadly, not everyone is Shohei Ohtani: Pitcher hitting has never been worse, and it’s time to evolve beyond MLB’s vestigial limb and bring the DH to the National League Complaints about pitcher hitting are not new to the game. The origins of organized DH advocacy extend to the 19th century, and...
