Did they really put a positive spin on a 2-10 record and a 5.11 ERA with sabermetrics?

I've never seen someone so staunchly oppose advanced statistics. It must kill him that Heyward's WAR is still significantly higher than Freeman's.

Well, sort of. His "headline" stats are not always indicative of his effectiveness as a pitcher. Take Jeff Samardzija for example. He's been near the top in pitching despite having a meh record. W/L record is a really bad way to evaluate a pitcher. ERA is decent, and more reliable than W/L, but you can really dig into sabremetrics to get a good read on tendencies. I could be wrong, but I see it as a way for stats to evaluate a pitcher without the results or the consequences of his defense. BABIP, K/9, BB/K, WHIP, FIP, Ground ball rate, line drive rate, fly ball rate...all good stuff.

Considering Freeman is a much better player just proves WAR can't be trusted, along with most sabermetrics.

defensive sabermetrics are extremely arbitrary, and that is what a lot of FIP is based upon indirectly. To think that any batted ball is a design of luck is kind of silly.

In BMac's case, he leads the NL in hits against(as well as Earned runs). ANd that is completely ignored in FIP


and while his strikeouts are up(that has been his saving grace in his FIP), he has always been more efficient when "pitching to contract"

and if you think Chase field is prone to HRs... Yankee stadium is the 2nd most homer friendly park in the MLB

BMac isn't the type of pitcher I would want in Yankee stadium but as a fan of his I would be excited. wonder if the A's or Seattle make a run at him

The BMac to BMac connection would be unstoppable

This is your second greatest prediction behind the D-Rays one.
