Maxwell, Nieves...

what, no Harris?

I mean, if the Nats insist on

  1. Having Marquis pitch, and
  2. Having the bench players get starts regardless of the results

then they might as well go all in.

I'm disappointed about Det going back on the DL...

…but I’m even MORE disappointed about leaving Lannan in the rotation and putting Stammen in the pen. Yes, I know Stammen is a more adaptable pitcher. Yes, I know we would benefit from having more than one lefty in the rotation at a time. But, let’s face it, Stammen is coming into his own and is a more dependable starter than Lannan is. There is some logic here, but I don’t think it’s enough to justify this move at this time.

Or maybe I’m just cranky that we haven’t had consistency in our rotation for, like, a month now.

By the way, the Nationals want to TRY to score early and often...

Ted Lilly is a flyball pitcher and regularly gives up one run homers. But if the Dodgers actually give him some run support, he could be dangerous.

(Sorry Ted, since you are not a Cub or a National, I am forced to root against you today)

I was being sarcastic.

This is probably Bernie’s scheduled day off and Riggleman is a stickler for days off. Sometimes switches have to do with who the opposing starting pitcher will be for a particular game, but Max’s batting average is so pitiful that it would be a moot switch.

I dunno--he seems like a really centered, humble guy.

He just wants to play, and it’s not his fault he’s crazy talented. He hardly does anything to encourage the media frenzy. His attitude is a nice contrast to certain other Nats number one picks.

Why DID Ni end up in the lineup instead of Pudge?

I know he usually does day games, but you’d think that you’d want the best person possible calling the game for someone who is just coming back from an injury and is understandably shaky. If Ni needed to play, he could’ve done it last night with Livo.

I'll argue with that.

We seem to have a lot of guys going on the DL after poor starts. Could it possibly be because they’re afraid to report injuries for some reason? I really don’t think that many guys could just “make up” problems because they’re not performing well without setting off an alarm.

Yeah, but the pitching stats are rates...

…there’s isn’t a good equivalent counting stat (that I know of). You can quibble about the precise definition of QS, but it’s as good as anything else.

True, although I'd be hard pressed to think of any pitching counting stat.

Those aren't "Crap stats"

They are good stats because they are closely correlated with runs scored, and, importantly, they are easily interpreted. There are more complicated stats that give improvement in the explanatory power, but that are fairly mysterious and therefore lose their effect. I like the fancy stats, but ERA and OPS are also useful.

Rob

by RobBobS on Aug 8, 2010 5:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

They aren't terrible stats, but the scale for those two aren't very good

OPS double counts results, and ERA doesn’t do a god job in discerning who is mediocre and who isn’t. Both stats will show you who shines, but the stats are most often needed to discern who can be productive in the player pool of mediocrity.

I’m not a stats guy, but I’ve come to appreciate them because they provide some variant perception and are especially helpful in analyzing college baseball, where stats are skewed even more

One of the most disappointing things about the game today was Storen's awful pitching.

I expected Marquis to be bad. Alas, he delivered on that.
