No, but it'd obviously be a flaw in the study given his advantage.
-
I was simply pointing out the considerable difference between "Best outfield arms" and "guys whose arms baserunners underrate". I read the whole thing. Because the away team or other fielders don't utilize the turf as much on their throws doesn't mean the benefit for him has been marginal. Jacque Jones is the perfect example of this.
-
I'm still waiting for the .734 OPS Soriano was supposed to put up for the Nationals.
-
Yes, but the article claims to adequately quantify which arms are the best by absurd measures. Runners will test Cuddyer more than the RF with respected "cannons". So he's going to be put in easier situations to record assists, which helps him in this manipulation. Infielders cutting off the throws aren't considered, his practice in skipping the ball off the turf not taken into account. At least he's aware of all some of the flaws in his method.

Despite the subjectiveness of "best outfield arm", the article is about 2007 performance. He had the same number of baserunner kills as Francoeur, in less opportunities, but if you say so. Are you actually saying you agree that Cuddyer had the best RF arm in baseball last year? Are you actually able to type out words but not read them? Please, elucidate for me what you believe I misunderstood. I was trying to clarify that he really agreed with this nonsense.

There are other SS in baseball besides Khalil Greene. The majority of them are better, too. -
Like who? I can't see where Toews, Kane, Byfuglien, Barker, Sharp would be available. Ruutu's the only one I can see being traded. Or maybe Havlat, but I don't know what they'd expect to get for him.
-
4-0, what do I win?
-
Cuddyer does not have the best arm in RF, not even close. This article also does not seem to make any mention of the factors played by cutoff men.
-
http://nbadraft.net Claxton at 44 is the only one drafted.
-
He did though. Injuries derailed him, but he had a great fastball and one of the most unhittable splitters in the league. Had he stayed healthy and improved his control a bit, he probably would have been a dominant RP.

2 guys, 58 minutes, 1 point scored. fixed.
-
That's what I like to see Ben, just keep throwing to the predator.
-
Blasphemer!
-
I don't see how that prevents teams which get out-yarded from losing.
-
Then the only other alternative is to hand the national championship to the preseason #1, i.e. the most talented team in the nation.
-
Sea, Jax, NYG, SD While the "Playoffs?!?" quote gets more play, but I prefer his "We didn't do diddly-poo" line, what a hilarious classic.

It's not the overarching sole goal for managers. If you're down 5-0 after the first inning, the coach generally brings in the long men to save the bullpen for later in the series. The Packers don't put Aaron Rodgers in the game to save Favre's arm, if they're down 17-0 after the first quarter. Game one of the playoff series is another example of this. If winning that game alone was the sole objective, Zambrano pitches 9 innings. Starters get days of rest in baseball when not injured. This really shouldn't be that hard to understand. If you actually read what I said and understood it as this thought, then your reading comprehension is dismal.
-
No, the two are simply not comparable. Winning singular games isn't the sole priority in baseball, not by a longshot. In football, it is.
-
Amazing that they're outweighed 40 lbs a player, playing in the 3-3-5 and still can't run the ball.
-
The Angels need pitching? They refused to part ways with Adenhart in a Miguel Cabrera deal, I doubt they'll give him up for Bedard.
-
great rebuttal.
-
The added probability for players injury makes it an unlikelihood that they'll do this more than a couple times in a season. The NHL director of ice maintenance was at that game to ensure there weren't any divets the players would get caught on.

If a team is outgaining the other team by a huge margin in yardage, but still loses, then they likely lost the game due to TOs, bad special teams play, terrible execution in the red zone. These are all factors in a football game that you cannot overlook. The baseball and football situations are certainly not analogous, as run/hit differential will show you a truer representation of how the team should perform over the long haul rather than how the team played that particular game, whereas in football "you play to win the game.". It takes 2 losses to dash your national championship goals. What matters in the end is execution. Nothing else. You just cited my exception as your example. As I said, the only time a team performs better and loses is due to missed calls by the officials. That's really the only thing they can't control.
