Wisler is your classic AAAA guy
You're "ruled by the numbers"...
1.4 fWAR
1.2 fWAR
0.7 fWAR
and 2.3 fWAR (before tonight)
is 5.6 fWAR before tonight.
How many $$$ is a WAR worth again??? Pick another metric - just make sure it's one you can't ever be questioned about.
What metric are you going to use now???

And that is plenty good enough to finish this game. I'm so pissed we used freeman up 7 in the 9th

yea Wisler may have gave up 7 but we'd won 11-7 at worst most likely

What is even your point here?

It’s not about metrics; you misunderstand the crux of the argument. Those against the Markakis signing didn’t object to the team’s monetary valuation of Markakis vis-à-vis his likely production—indeed, most agreed it was a fair, market-value pact. The point of contention was that a market-value contract for an OF in his early 30s made little sense, and stood to have even less upside, for a team just entering a long rebuild.
We’re all glad the Braves “arrived” a year early, and that Markakis is coincidentally posting a career year in his walk-year. Both those unforeseen contingencies don’t affect the logic of the initial signing, which was very dubitable at best.

The #Braves starting rotation has now posted the best ERA in the National League (3.34) through 81 games, bumping the Cardinals starting staff to second place (3.46)
I thought it was a weakness? Lmao.

Folty going tomorrow!!
No they didn't. Y'all keep screaming about "revisionist history" - go back and read the threads.
The vast majority of numbers-guys' posts did nothing other than *itch about how bad that contract was because Markakis was "washed-up" - really hard to find cover from that.

Nope. You go and find the posts you're referring to. It isn't our job to back up whatever argument YOU are trying to make, which I'm still not even sure what it is exactly.

Once again relitigating the Markakis contract ... Wow, what a novel and terrific idea.
Even following the numbers clv posted, he’s basically arriving at the point that—thanks to a career-year in his mid-30s—Markakis has just now become worth exactly what he’s been paid. It seems ... an unnecessary line of discussion.
