Speaking of that pic above...
why the f*ck was Guzman leading off yesterday? Not that it would have made a difference I guess. Just the thought process. Seems like Kins would be the backup leadoff hitter, like today.
Guzman had something like a .500 AVG against the Twins and had a nice game the day before
Yes Kinsler should have been leadoff but its not like its defensible for Guzman to be there.
And he had a nice game as well so theres really not much to complain about
Yeah
Cause Kins was amazing at leadoff last year.

i think i'm going to skip watching the games
just check in on the GDT each time to see if it’s worth getting concerned about. These past few games have taken up a few hours of my life that i will never get back
That's like asking someone if it snows a lot in Dallas

I thought Durance had a much bigger rack than that. Bra technology I guess.
I stopped watching the game because I would rather study.
That’s kind of where I’m at with this team the last few weeks.
If this team can't get to full strength by October I'm going to have such horrible memories of this season.
Even if they lose the first round, as long as it’s their best I won’t be haunted by what could have been.

was a former HS football player. He tried hard to convince me the HS game was more fun to watch than the NFL game, saying that the players were just as good becasue their increased effort and grittiness made up for their aggregate lack of athleticism.

that argument lost some validity Friday when the Rangers at full strength were 4 hit by a minor leaguer without a team
the team had an opportunity to win – hell they were given a win thanks to Detroit the previous night and they failed miserably.
MIN isn’t exactly at full strength without their best player either.

They have better depth.
So if you’re asking when the lack of position player depth should have concerned you, the answer is Spring Training because it was something that was discussed from the start.
I'm not so sure we will even start playing well when/if we get completely healthy...
We were healthy in July and Vlad wasn’t dead then, and we were around .500 for the month.
We weren't completely healthy.
Didn’t have Cliff for it all, and that is one month. The playoffs are the playoffs it doesn’t matter about your record.
I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'
Yeah the record for the season does it matter when comes to down actually winning the series
i’m just afraid the team is waiting around for October and then will just expect to start winning, even though the team has been .500 for the past 2 months.
As for July when they were mostly healthy, Cliff only would have had 1 or 2 more starts but hes been awful lately, and Kinsler got hurt on the 29th.
Hopefully when/if they get healthy they’ll stop playing like crap, but i have my doubts.
checkin' out the scedule
The Rangers only have 4 left vs Oakland. All in Oakland with 2 being day games likely started by LHP.
We'll likely be at least 7 up by then
If we win just one they’d still be down by 5.
I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'
Well we have a new policy of cover sheets on our TPS reports
So if you can do that from now on, that’d be great. Thanks sip

19 out of 20 times, we win this but there are concerns and given the schedule, our history, the state of the team and what kind of teams make miracle comebacks…it’s not completely over. If you don’t know that, you’re a fraud.
Comparing this Ranger team to every other major league team who had this big of a lead is pandering to the mindless cheerleaders out there.

It's interesting that the effects of Coors Field so often seem to be wildly overrated. . .
. . . and here we seem to have the opposite going on.
Votto has been significantly better than Cargo offensively even before you adjust for the parks (and, overrated as it may be, Coors is still quite the boost over Cincy).
As far as defense, Gonzalez comes out as merely decent in the numbers, and, from watching him almost every day, I don’t see much conflict going on there.
Gonzalez is really good, and I don’t think Votto is the obvious MVP, but I’ll take him over Cargo without even thinking twice.
Is Pujols out of the question? Is it cuz the Cards fell off?
"I don't do a straight up Mitch for Butler" -- stupid booyakasha
I would consider Pujols over Gonzalez, easily.
I do think he’s probably lost out on the award, though. Which is fine, there are other deserving people.
I don't know the park adjustment stats,
but I’d guess Adrian Gonzalez has to be right in the convo.
'Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights
Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night'
So how does CarGon's defensive metrics look compared to Votto?
And wouldn’t CF be a more valuable position then 1B? Doesn’t that give Gon the edge?
I just think Gonzalez has the whole MVP package. I would say, what 3-4 HR’s are from Coors field? That leaves him only 5 HR’s behind Votto. I would also say that the RBI stat is because he’s leading off more and if he were hitting 3-4, he would be above 100 by now. (I’m using the triple crown numbers here since I"m going quick and dirty, don’t blast me)
Gonzalez is the only guy in the NL with a Slugging above .600 as well. Plus again, the steals and the position just seems to be what puts me over the top as well.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
Remember, this is a vote. HR's and RBI's count to most voters (and where the Reds are in the standings)

I agree, but I was hoping to rise above that and just have a real MVP discussion.
Screw the voters. We decide the real MVP!
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
Well baseball reference has the batting park factor
in the great american as 101 compared to only 109 in coors. I can’t find the current position adjustments, but you can guarantee CF to be way higher than 1B.
"I don't do a straight up Mitch for Butler" -- stupid booyakasha
Stat Corner's park effects adjust by handedness.
All parks don’t affect righties the same way as they affect lefties.
Tango also attacked B-R’s park effects a while ago, though I don’t really remember his points. Unfortunately, they’re the most freely available.
Yeah, but I've taken this conversation to be who we would/should vote for.
Not who the writers will vote for.

Pitch recognition? Really? I can't imagine a park giving you better vision.
Less oxygen particles in the air, so it’s easier to see. I’m going to have to read this article and see what they come up with here.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
Oh yes, parks alter all sorts of thing.
Pitch visibility being one of them. Coors also effects the way pitchers can move balls.
People kind of consider park effects as how often balls leave the park, but there are a ton of thinks going on in ballparks that affect how often balls are hit and how far they go when they are.
I can wrap my head around the fastball being faster, the movement on all the pitches being flater.
But I am not sure I can see pitchers not using this information as well. I mean, I would assume pitchers would pitch further away from the strike zone knowing their ball isn’t going to bite as much as it normally does.
And I completely understand the difference in the triple heaven aspect as well. I’m unable to understand the point about the pitches being only focused in a smaller zone than other parks. I read the article quickly and can see the point, but it doesn’t pass my smell test. But I’m a pretty skeptical guy when it comes to new information. I’d have to look into it more myself or see supporting evidence.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
Ok
Votto has been four runs above average in DRS and three runs in UZR. Both are a little below his career rates, but not much. He’s been an above average but unspectacular fielder this year, and that’s nothing out of whack with his career.
Cargo has been -6 and -3.3, respectively in center. That’s a bit below his career rates, but 1) he doesn’t look like a plus CF watching him, as much as the ultra-homerific Rockies announcers act like he is, and 2) his career (like Votto) itself is a SSS. In the corners he’s been -1 and -1.6. I do think he’s a better corner outfielder than that skill wise, but whatever.
Regardless, there’s not so much evidence that they’ve done anything relative to the position defensively to separate each other much.
As far as positional adjustment, if you think Cargo could have been an average centerfielder in a full season there, he might make up some ground on Votto. The positional adjustment used at FanGraphs only has him making up about seven runs in value by being an outfielder, but it’s that low thanks to spending a lot of time in the corners. But he spends those time in the corners in part because he doesn’t appear to be an elite centerfielder.
I’ll address the second paragraph with its own post.

Here's the thing. . .
It’s more than home runs. Coors promotes offense in tons of ways beyond how far the ball travels. You can see a representation here. The ball is thrown differently, the field works differently, the ball moves differently and the outfield is huge. Line drives happen a lot in Coors and triples happen at hilarious paces (seriously, righties hit 90% more triples when they go to Coors!). Cincy is a hitters park, but Colorado inflates offense for lefties more than twice as much.
As far as the RBIs, I don’t even know where they are in them other than they’re both near the top. I’m talking about who’s been more valuable, not who the writers are likely to vote for.
Votto is beating Cargo .435 to .419 in wOBA. Both very good, both inflated by their parks, but Cargo is getting a much bigger boost by playing half of his games in Colorado. Votto has about a nine run lead in weighted runs created before park adjustment, which would put them pretty close when you consider Carlos playing more valuable positions. After park adjustment, Votto has almost a 12 run lead.
Now some quick and dirty numbers for you. Votto leads in fWAR 6.2 to 4.9. If you’d rather use DRS for defense, it goes to 6.3 over 4.7. Cargo does, however, have a lead in WPA if that’s the kind of thing you’d like to use, but it ignores defense.
by philkid3 on Sep 6, 2010 10:12 PM CDT up reply actions 1 recs
Good stuff. If it wasn't a typo, what does fWAR mean?
Also, do these numbers basically say in a purely batting sense they are basically equal including park adjustments?
"I don't do a straight up Mitch for Butler" -- stupid booyakasha
I believe it's showing Votto has the superior bat, and CarGo
is getting boosts by playing in a field that supports extra bases on base hits.
And also that Votto’s hitting overcomes his weaker position.
And I’m not exactly sure how defensive metrics are measures, but I am going to assume that perhaps Coors field can make Gonzalez look worse? I’m using my mat and have not done research on this, just want your opinion on this.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
FWIW, I'm a skeptic in regards to defensive metrics.
'Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights
Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night'
I agree. But unfortunately I am usually the guy late to the party when it comes to following new stats.
So it’s always hard for me to trust stats that have human variables such as defensive metrics.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
I think everyone is. I am fairly newb on the Saber-front
but it seems to me that defensive adjustments are flat numbers per season. After reading this and the associated links, I still don’t believe the fielding gap is that wide
"I don't do a straight up Mitch for Butler" -- stupid booyakasha
It's entirely possible Coors isn't factored properly.
But, at the same time, watching him he doesn’t look good. Not terrible, but nothing special, either.
here is a question
and I honestly don’t know the answer:
Does it matter that Gonzalez plays a considerable number of divisional games in extreme pitchers parks, such as LA (kind of), SF, and SD (which should count twice), whereas Votto’s divisional games are in more friendly htiters parks?
Go Rice Owls!
It might.
I’d be surprised if it made that much of a difference, but it probably makes some and I’d be interested in seeing how much.
StatCorner, btw, has San Fran as neutral for lefties and very slightly hitter friendly for righties. It depresses lefty home runs a ton and a half, but it makes up for it with triples and some slight gains in a lot of other factors.
Unless you're Barry.
'Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights
Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night'
Imagine if he got pitched to like a normal superstar.
90?
'Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights
Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night'
You could get more accurate with actual hit charting. . .
. . . but the StatCorner adjustment thinks he would have probably hit about 4-5 more home runs playing in a neutral park in 2001. So that’s 78.
I don’t feel like going too deep in to his splits, but if half of his home runs when Pac Bell was built were hit at home, then he would have hit about 19 more between 2000 and retirement. That would have put him at 781 for his career.
Of course, how the park plays may have changed over the years. And Candlestick was also anti-home run, I believe.
Also worth noting:
Not that steals are worth much, but as long as we’re talking about them, Cargo only edges Votto by 11. With another 4 CS over Votto, as well, it’s about a run added over Votto.
See, you see it as only 11, I see it as almost doubling Votto's total.
And the CS is double Votto’s as well. I don’t know, it just seems while everyone around CarGo has been having issues, (Stewart, catcher situation, Hawpe, Helton/1B?) he’s been the beacon in a lineup that can’t get situated.
