GDT 4/18/18 vs Phiiiies

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

Our entire lineup is ice cold save for Inciarte.

and mccarthy. 1/7 is good for a pitcher.

He really should have swung at that bouncer and ran

Here comes the nightly bashing of sabermetrics. I wish the broadcast booth would catch on fire.

[CyYoung31]

Can we go one ****ing game without a single snide, uninformed comment from Joe or Tom about sabermetrics?

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

So how does catch probability work on that? Does it take the fielder into account like the booth was suggesting or nah?

I feel like it's worse when Glavine is there. Joe knows he'll get a validating response from him, and vice versa.

[CyYoung31]

Someone tell Herrera that it’s smarter to slide into 2nd base than 1st.

I'm not convinced you can use Herrera and "smart" in the same sentence.

I looked it up, and it doesn't take the fielder into account at all, just the distance traveled, hangtime, and direction.

Also supposedly takes the outfield wall catches into account, which seems like it may need a little more adjusting. That catch seemed a little harder than it was given credit for

[CyYoung31]

The collective offense between these two teams this series has set baseball back 30 years.

I'm happy I listen to my music most of the time instead of the broadcast.

Snap out of it, FF

Not sure what the booth was talking about but it was probably nowhere close to being right.

Outs Above Average starts with Catch Probability, which takes the distance an outfielder must go, the time he has to get there, and the direction he travels to put a percentage of catch likelihood on each individual batted ball. Outs Above Average is the season-long cumulative expression of each individual Catch Probability play. For example, if an outfielder has a ball hit to him with a 75 percent Catch Probability -- that is, one an average outfielder would make three-quarters of the time -- and he catches it, he'll receive a +.25 credit. If he misses it, he'll receive -.75, reflecting the likelihood of that ball being caught by other outfielders.

I know the numbers for Ender are bad, but the worst part is actually having to watch him hit. He takes some of the worst swings in hitter’s counts. 3-1 fastball up and he’s late to it, weak pop up. So much weak contact from him this year. I hope our next manager is smart enough to stick him ninth where he belongs.

[GeorgiaGirl]

It feels like Philadelphia might have inadvertently found a hole for Albies on his left side swing. It seems like he has a hard time covering pitches that are very away on that side.

Please cut Chip’s fckn vocal cord out of his throat.

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

Wow, I thought that was out.

[USMA76]

Chip fooled me into thinking Suzuki's contact was going to be something more than a routine fly out...ugh

[WaitingFor2017]

Chip made it sound like it was 30 rows up when it didn't even make the warning track.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Wow, I thought that was out.

HIGH FLY BALL, DEEP TO LEFT FIELD... and it's caught short of the warning track.

Line drive. Base hit. Caught out there. The runner tags. Throw to the plate. On target. And in time! A double play
