Pretty sure Duvall played his way off any post season roster with today's game.

I suspect that is it a lot of the timeQuote:

He's been enormously lucky to still not have that great a year, but that's the way it happened and he contributed to a division title. So good for us.
And the bloke was worth 0.7 WAR. Probably the least valuable record holder of an impressive stat in history. The Rob Deer of pitchers.Quote:

it's better for what actually happened, in general.Quote:

It then compounds the problem by also assigning defensive contributions to position players in a way that leads to wild outliers of defensive value (both positive and negative) every season for a few players.
I don't even bother to look at bWAR anymore.

Even if the Brave defense could account for some of the rest of the staff beating the average BABIP, there is no real explanation for why Teheran would be so much better.
According to what I've read, there is little to no evidence that pitcher's BABIP is a skill.
With all the baserunners Teheran had this year, if he his BABIP had even been .255, I'm guessing he would have been below replacement level rather than .7
Which is why I attributed Teheran's especially to luck.Quote:

He hasn't pitched nearly as well as his ERA would suggest. But it's not like luck has brought it down from around .300. More like around .265-.270.
How were our other pitchers' babip this year in relation to previous seasons? Just wondering if our positioning helped knock Julio's babip down (career .268).Quote:

His hit numbers were down across the board, but his walks were up (and his strikeouts). However, 45% of his hits were extra-base hits. In every other season of his career that number was below 37%. So walks and extra-base hits. His ISO against this year was .180, compared to .186 last year. He didnt pitch all that differently, just somehow managed to limit singles. Could that be attributed to the defense, or positioning? Very odd.
