Moncada to IL, out at least 2 weeks per Merkin
gusguyman replied to Jack Parkman's topic in Pale Hose Talk
On the one hand, I appreciate ya'll owning your takes OTOH, this take ain't it chiefs. Moncada was diagnosed with a strain by an MRI, and it is serious enough to be out 2 weeks. This is a legit injury. And no, I don't care about the time you played through 3 broken ankles for your beer league softball team or whatever other dumb story makes you think a guy not being able to play through a hammy strain is soft. -

O/U 5.2IP before we break up the No-No? -
What an epitome of a Hahn quote. "Logical to see a heightened level of aggressiveness this offseason." 1) This doesn't even say we WILL see a more aggressive offseason, just that it would make sense to 2) Heightened level of aggressiveness is a relative term, so it only means more aggressive than last year, which could still not be close to aggressive enough in the fans eyes The dude is a master at not actually committing to anything he sounds like he is. I'd pay a pretty penny to hear his wedding vows.

Why WAR is stupid for Closers, especially for Colome
gusguyman replied to vilehoopster's topic in Pale Hose Talk
After a good night's rest I realized it isn't even worth engaging him anymore. Where is that new Roofshot guy? At least he was willing to read up on WAR. That's a guy I can at least have a convo with lol. -

You either agree with me, or you agree with me and are lying about it!!!! -

gusguyman replied to vilehoopster's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I'm proudly a statnik, so I feel like I am doing a disservice by falling to infighting here, but WAR definitely has some subjectivity baked in, exemplified at the very least by the fact that there is both fWAR and bWAR. The derivation of the weighting of the factual outcomes allows opinions to influence the final result. -

gusguyman replied to vilehoopster's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Which is irrelevant, because there are already many resources that explain WAR, both simply and in-depth. https://library.fangraphs.com/misc/war/ https://www.baseball-reference.com/about/war_explained.shtml http://m.mlb.com/glossary/advanced-stats/wins-above-replacement https://www.baseball-reference.com/about/war_explained_position.shtml Just because someone didn't memorize the equation doesn't mean they didn't look into it and verify its validity. -

He didn't say meet halfway. He said the gap needed to be bridged. Not many good things come from stopping in the middle of a bridge.
