In the BBTN study, they found an average two win difference across "sabermetrically ideal" and the worst possible batting orders over their thousands of simulations or whatever. Of course, in real life, any single situation that occurs could be game-changing, but I think the point is that since you can't really control who is up in specific situations, over the time the affect regresses toward mean outcomes for all players, and the chief driver of the two win difference is that better players get mroe ABs in better lineups. It's also impossible to quantitatively assess the psychological impact on pitchers like Giolito of looking at that line-up and just knowing they can pretty much only give up 1 run or at best 2 to beat Bieber with our defense and bullpen woes.

That's true, but one could also argue that pitcher x loves the dudes on his team and believes in all of them, and such an argument wouldn't be any more or less likely.

Williams, not sure I'm seeing that one...but it is what it is. It's not like this Indians' line-up is filled with world beaters, other than having to be careful with Jose Ramirez and not giving the other team any cheap runs.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 1 minute ago, tray said: Vaughn is a complete joke out in LF. And nom, he is no where as fast as Eloy and cannot even get to most balls. Had Eloy been in LF yesterday, the Sox would have lost.

No one has earned at bats more than Nick Williams. Not for this team! Not with what he's been through and done for this organization.
