@TJStats This was my article and I appreciate the feedback. Definitely a learning moment for me that will help me in the future. Love your work by the way!
@enosarris@fangraphs I agree, I should have made that part more clear and I was not as thorough as I should have been regarding Stuff+. Definitely a learning moment for me.
@JohnnyNienstedt@enosarris@fangraphs@srbrown70 My apologies, I totally misinterpreted that. That was initially where I got the idea for the article. Not sure how I got this far with that critical misinterpretation but I'll talk to the guys at Fangraphs about it.
@enosarris@fangraphs In my opinion, models don't fully grasp the relationship between release, extension, etc. and the characteristics of the pitch itself and how that relationship contributes to its deception/effectiveness. StuffPro includes these factors as well but rate the pitch as negative RV.
Attended the Notre Dame vs. Northwestern game today. A player that really caught my eye was Estevan Moreno. Impressive power/speed combo. Ended up turning this play into a triple and also stole a bag.
@giantstortureTM@dsennacherib@BenKaspick There’s also a domino effect of pushing Slater and Yaz to the corners which pushes the corner guys to bench roles. There’s a lot of value in adding Bellinger.
The Mariners essentially swapping Urias for Suarez is a bit of a mystery to me. Yes they add versatility and become a bit more contact-oriented but Geno's defensive ability and offensive upside outweigh that. Maybe Zavala and Vargas for Hamilton brings some value back to the M's.
Reynaldo Lopez adds another element to Atlanta’s staff as a back-end starter or length in the bullpen when needed. Scary to see them adding more flexibility to a good pitching staff that should be able to back up their already solidified offense.
