Phillies V Dodgers

Oh and now the broadcast isn't even working. DOES NO ONE FUCKING CARE??????

Why is he still pitching????

What doesn't make sense? You did the calculation yourself. FIP focuses solely on home runs, walks, HBP, and strikeouts (xFIP ignores home runs). FIP doesn't give a shit about singles, doubles, or triples, because balls in play are largely out of the pitcher's hand. It also ignores sequencing/luck. It's a far superior statistic than ERA

Yeah, I know all that but it's a "meaningless" stat. Baseball is about runs crossing the plate. When a pitcher gives up no homers but gets bombed with 7 other hits, and 6 runs score, there's no way you can make that look good, like, geez, his FIP was only 4.89. It's laughable. Superior stat? Only if you want to look at BBs and Homers given up.

Because, evidently, no one gives a fuck but me

Ugh. Meaningless... lol

The Comcast broadcast problem is related to the Delta Air computer network problem today. Anybody out there stranded?

Do you think Thompson's ERA for the rest of this year will be around 12?

 

[Omar 382]

Don't even have the fucking video... smh. Good night motherfuckers. I'm watching a movie at least until the video is fucking back up

 

[jvett77]

Give me a break. A pitcher gives up no homers but 4 doubles and two triples and 8 runs. Why bother figuring his FIP? Remember, don't shit me.

The FIP constant accounts for that

 

[jvett77]

It is a useful tool to a degree, that is, in projecting likely future performance somewhat. It is an interesting metric.

A TD and a FG. WTH. I am going to the rack!

 

[jvett77]

Vinnie, 8-3, 3.33, starts the second game tonight. The poor bastard's lost four in a row, 2-1, 5-4, 2-1, and 3-2. And it's all Klentak's fault. You can't play good ball with two outfielders. The fans want a real team, now. My ideas are falling on deaf ears. How about a firecracker in the FO restroom?

 

[_phiLLies_]

uh oh, vinny! if he makes it to the 6th inning tonight.. city baby!

 

[jvett77]

Yeah, Vinnie, Vinnie! No worries. Throw your best. Have we got a bullpen for you! Not a jag-off to be seen.

I figured it out!!!

 

[jvett77]

There's a sequential error in the third row, fourth column. So, buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

 

[Omar 382]

What the fuck are you talking about *****?

 

[jvett77]

You figured it out. wtf

 

[jvett77]

Anyone know if _phillies_ is rooting for Vinnie tonight?
