I was previously told the difference in a catcher’s bWAR and fWAR is due to framing. I think a lot of that comes from a .356 OBP out of the catcher's spot for a lot of games. That's a positive wRC+ from a very weak position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Perhaps he should have been "day to day" when the final out was registered on Sunday at Wrigley, not now with a Twins series coming up, you fucking moron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might explain it and would explain a lot to me too because I value OPS over some outsized weighting to wOBA. This makes much more sense than simply “framing” for the huge disparity in his WAR values over the years. Also reaffirms my opinion that fWAR has consistently overrated his value.

I personally think wOBA does a much better job of displaying offensive contribution. A guy who has a .800 OPS but only gets on at a .300 clip probably isn't as good as the guy with the .800 OPS, but gets on at a .350 rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree if the OBP was largely attributed to a high batting average. Like a guy that hits .300 with a .350 OBP is much more valuable to me than a guy that hits .240 with a .350 OBP.

caulfield12 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) Our biggest fastball pitcher against the best fastball hitting team in the big leagues...not a total shocker Burdi struggled.

poppysox Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Anderson, Madrigal, and Robert all had something to like. We are going to lose a third of our games but this was just aggravating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcq Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Apparently the two worst teams in the ALC are not bad. Maybe it's a good division this year. I don't think Burdseye is ready for Covid league ball. Bring back Dunning. Reylo should back up Gonzo, who knows how to start. That would be an improvement. Maybe Rodon could help the bullpen. The old school Orioles made you earn a start except for Jim Palmer who was a young phenom in the World Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Dunning to face lefty Kris Bubic Sunday who was slapped around against MN. No excuses. Notice that both the Tigs and Royals have taken it to the Twinks. This division is waiting to be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I didn’t watch the game today. Did Burdi miss his spots and have bad command? How was the speed on his pitches? It just looked like a rough day for the pitching staff from the box score, I missed this game today. Burdi is from my hometown so I was just curious.
