Lol Cubs released Casper Wells to make room for Manny Ramirez

 

[Mexi]

Personally I hate when people bring that up

its a really good indicator

 

[CameronCrazy06]

its a really good indicator

 
Wins/losses is a better one though

 

[snipezo]

 
David Price? Not really..

you're basing it off his era. he's been striking out 10+/9 and not walking a lot of batters. his hr/9 will regress to the mean.

 

[Mexi]

Wins/losses is a better one though

wins and losses can be fluky

Run diff tells you more in depth how good a team is

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

Where to next Casper

I mean he's been pitching better lately, but on the season I wouldn't say he's been great by any means. I understand his K's are outrageous right now but that's just one aspect of pitching.

I think you're wrong but whatever

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

Lmao idk Mexi. W-L do tell whether a team had a good season or not, make the playoffs or not.

you are sleeping on him. he's better than what his era indicates
 
i can tell you now that his era will look a lot better at the end of the season.

Wins-loss is definitely flukey. If your team is randomly winning one run games and never losing them, it's an indicator of luck. As opposed to a better team who isn't getting as lucky in those 1 run affairs, but normally more dominant.

Regardless its a combination of both. Run differential can be skewed by a random 10 run victory

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

You win a game, you friggin win a game. You lose you lose...

Oh duh, like I said he's already started picking it up. It's David freaking Price haha, he didn't win the Cy Young on a fluke. But up until recently he hadn't been pitching great by any means

 

[snipezo]

He's had good peripherals all season long. His numbers have just been regressing to the mean.

 

[snipezo]

You win a game, you friggin win a game. You lose you lose...

Was very unaware of that.

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

Was very unaware of that.

Pointing to the ones who say W-L is "Flukey"

 

[snipezo]

But it can be flukey.....

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Flukey as fuck. Look at when King Felix won the Cy Young... The nigga had a losing record iirc.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

We're talking about team win/loss

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Woulda thought with all the Price talk it was about individual pitchers.

 

[Mexi]

40 steals yay
