I was just north of the airport around Rockville Rd & Girls School Rd..... but, I'm home now.

If the difference between the two weren't so large, I wouldn't give it a second thought, but this difference is huge. Soto is sitting there at 4.24 which is dead on league ERA, while K Hill is at 3.38 which lower than the best team in the league; in fact, it's almost 2 standard deviations off the mean. I'm just not ready to write off a difference like that to white noise. After all, most of the factors that limit CERA have been ameliorated to some extent. Both catchers are working with the same small number of pitchers, against the same small number of teams, and appear to draw their assignments in a pseudo-random manner (i.e. no pitcher had either man as his "personal catcher") With a couple of hundred games played, I don't think factors such as weather, injuries, and drawing a better or worse opponent are going to matter. Certainly not to the extent of this difference. That's more than just an interesting anomaly, and it certainly does bear more detailed analysis. Unfortunately, I likely won't have the time to devote to it until the weather turns cold and there are no more CUBS games to watch.

All of that, plus $1.39, will buy you coffee down at the truck stop.

Good question, but unfortunately, I don't have that data as readily accessible. Might well be worth looking into.

Good grief. Seems like we have to go through this every damned year. I never attempted to draw any statistical inference from this data. It's an interesting anomaly, and that's all it is. If you ever catch me trying draw such an inference from a data set like this one, then by all means, please feel free to slap me up side the head. In the mean time....... and this is all I'm going to say to you....... the CUBS win when they bunt, and they bunt when they win. So there !!!

Inevitably, that did get mentioned in the Tribune article link that was posted. It's also been mentioned in this thread..... but what the hell....... CUBS are 32-42 when Soto starts..... 33-21 when K Hill starts CUBS pitchers' ERA in games that Soto starts 4.24..... in games that K Hill starts 3.38 CUBS' Runs scored per game when Soto starts 3.93.... when K Hill starts 5.15 Opponents runs scored per game when Soto starts 4.49.... when K Hill starts 4.00 CUBS run differential when Soto starts -43.... when K Hill starts +62 What's the overlap for when Soto and Ramirez were out at the same time? When neither Ramirez nor Soto started......... CUBS are 12-8 CUBS starters' ERA is 3.46 CUBS score 5.20 R/G CUBS opponents score 3.85 R/G CUBS run differential is +27

I might agree with that if the difference wasn't nearly a whole R/G after 120 games. Perhaps there's something more at work here, like the confidence level of the pitchers ?? what are the individual pitchers' stats with each catcher? is it a matter of koyie hill being behind the plate more often when a better pitcher is on the mound? starter starts ERA starts ERA Zambrano 11 4.88 11 2.91 Dempster 18 4.39 6 3.41 Lilly 14 2.82 8 4.35 Harden 13 5.53 9 2.17 Marshall 6 6.59 3 3.32 Wells 10 2.39 10 3.73 Hart 4 2.86 Gorzelanny 2 9.95 2 2.19 Samardzija 1 18.90 totals 74 4.24 54 3.38

I might agree with that if the difference wasn't nearly a whole R/G after 120 games. Perhaps there's something more at work here, like the confidence level of the pitchers ?? You still can't draw anything of note from the R/G totals by themselves. You could guess, and you might be right, but there's no way of knowing. For instance, look at this stat CUBS' Runs scored per game when Soto starts 3.93.... when K Hill starts 5.15 Why are the Cubs scoring over a R/G more when Hill hits even though he's been worse statistically than Soto? Because there are lots of other variables involved. Try to focus now, IMB. You're all over the place. We started out talking about the effect of a catcher on the teams' ability to prevent runs; basically CERA. The only conclusion that I came to was that I don't think the difference can be completely explained away as white noise because it's too large. I didn't, as you said, "draw anything" from the R/G totals by themselves. I was speaking of the difference in the pitchers' ERA with the two catchers, and for the record, I wasn't basing my remarks on just 3/4 of a season; although I didn't reveal it, K Hill smoked Soto in this department last year by an even bigger margin...... 2.46 to 3.88. Now you want throw in the offensive R/G stats into a discussion of the defensive effect of a catcher ??? How is that relevant ?? Sure, I know I posted it, but it's really unrelated to our discussion. It's nothing more than an interesting anomaly. I drew no conclusions from it, and probably shouldn't have posted it.

I might agree with that if the difference wasn't nearly a whole R/G after 120 games. Perhaps there's something more at work here, like the confidence level of the pitchers ?? The words "small sample size" come to mind. This from a lawyer and not a statistician, eh?

I might agree with that if the difference wasn't nearly a whole R/G after 120 games. Perhaps there's something more at work here, like the confidence level of the pitchers ??

CERA does, indeed, have it's limitations. Can you list for us what those limitations are ? Can you comprehend why they aren't applicable in this case ?

Inevitably, that did get mentioned in the Tribune article link that was posted. It's also been mentioned in this thread..... but what the hell....... CUBS are 32-42 when Soto starts..... 33-21 when K Hill starts CUBS pitchers' ERA in games that Soto starts 4.24..... in games that K Hill starts 3.38 CUBS' Runs scored per game when Soto starts 3.93.... when K Hill starts 5.15 Opponents runs scored per game when Soto starts 4.49.... when K Hill starts 4.00 CUBS run differential when Soto starts -43.... when K Hill starts +62

No, smoking weed does not make him a bad guy. Being an overall prick does. And why is he an overall prick? Because he's fat and all fat people are pricks Son, you want be real careful there not to piss off the wrong fat person, eh? :twisted:
