GDT 6/7/19: Turning things around in Miami

[Heyward]

philly won too. Bruce was the difference again.

He'll eventually cool off, but he's on some hot streak right now.

[CyYoung31]

The shutout getting blown is all SAV’s fault.

2019 is the year of the Bruce

[UNCBlue012]

Love Soroka!

I thought it was the year of the Bud?

Soroka is just awesome.

Reminds me of prime Tim Hudson

Get his autograph while it's still cheap. I got one of these a few weeks ago for $55. Looks like they already raised the price a bit

[thewupk]

Soroka is now 5th in baseball n FIP at 2.71

[AerchAngel]

If a non-Brave did that you guys would be complaining for 3 pages.

You are an asshole and pick on posters all the time. This is kindergarten stuff you are posting.

[AerchAngel]

Your skills are good, but you are a dick. And you enjoy it.

Just stop, it is not necessary to be this way.

You are the best at what you do, but don't tarnish it this way.

Looks like we finally got our TOR starter

As a guy who believes the stats but doesn't understand them, why is his FIP so good with such a mediocre strikeout rate?

(13*HR+3*(HBP+BB)-2*K)/IP

Not letting up homeruns is a huge suppressor of FIP

**** that, I love this kind of stuff.

[UNCBlue012]

Man, all of a sudden Acuna has 12 hits in his last 30 at-bats lmao

Thanks. That hr rate is likely unsustainable

[thethe]

Thats what xFIP aims to accomplish.

In place of HR you have the following (Fly Balls * League Average HR/FB%).

Therefore, if you are an extreme GB pitcher (like Soroka) you will still have a low xFIP.

[thewupk]

Thanks. That hr rate is likely unsustainable

Very much true. That will regress to a point.

Since the draft just happened let me beat the old dead horse and remind everyone that people complained when we drafted Soroka because he was ranked like 20 slots lower by the "experts".
