    WAR vs Actual Wins

    For the Braves it's pretty much on the money this year

    Actual wins 68
    pythag wins 67
    fWAR 66.3
    bWAR 66.8

    Final numbers may nudge a bit depending on when the defensive side gets the final update

    Nice. At least we performed up to expectations.

    The real takeaway is that bWAR is better than fWAR (jk)

    WAR is such a useless stat to measure player effectiveness. I get all I need from actually watching the games.

    Just like you tend to say many posters exaggerate... no one has ever said WAR is useless on this forum, just that its not the end all be all to player evaluation.

    They sure did! Further proof these newfangled stats are useless!

    Anyone that actually watches the game can tell you that.

    It requires math. But replacement level wins is 47.7. So you have to add team WAR on each respective site to that to get the WAR wins.

    no worries.. thought I was crazy for a second.. also league wide, WAR was -20 wins lower than the actual total wins.. pretty close imo..
