They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link). The point is to make these threads worth participating in and fun for all posters, from our long-time fixtures to people just signing up today. -The Management

It's not rational, but I'm going to be disappointed if we don't go 7-0 in the next seven games.

Top 5 teams in xWOBA starting May 9. Reverse order for dramatic effect:
.357 Hou .359 LAD .361 Min .362 SF
... so the leader has to be about .364, right?
.393 Bos
The gap between the Sox and #2 is larger than that between #2 and #12.
Here's wRC+:
127 StL 132 Hou 134 SF 139 LAD
... so the leader''s got to be about 143, right?
157 Bos
The gap between Sox and #2 is larger than the gap between #2 and #6.
A normal leader board for wOBA, with karma in (), adjusting for the MLB .012 difference between wOBA and xwOBA:
.388 Bos (+.007)
.368 LAD (+.021)
.360 SF (+.010)
.347 StL (+.021)
.344 Hou (-.001)

Ranks among wxOBA leaders since 5/9, out of 249 players with 40+ PA:
JDM 4th Story 6th Raffy 9th Franchy 43 CV 46 Verdugo 50 Xander 80 Kiké 86 JBJ 202
That's 8 guys who have hit well enough to bat 1, 2, or 4, where you want your three best hitters.

Surprised the Red Sox are only -160 favorites home against the Orioles with Whitlock on the mound.

Grayson Rodriguez might make his debut tomorrow night. He's been the best pitcher in AAA this year and might be the best Orioles pitcher the second he gets the call.

I like the license plates and the uniforms for them. I like the Red Sox traditional uniform. It is nice that they play well in the yellow uniforms, but then they would need to change there name to the Yellow Sox (and they are way too ugly). |

According to a Fangraphs article this week, these Apple TV on screen probabilities are extremely stupid
These Apple broadcasts are a blight on the game

According to a Fangraphs article this week, these Apple TV on screen probabilities are extremely stupid These Apple broadcasts are a blight on the game Most of the dumb objections to advanced stats - about sapping the game of its charm by turning it into an exercise in robotic calculation or whatever - actually apply to that annoying probability graphic. |
