|
12:04 |
: So I used to be taking a look at Dylan Crews’ first dwelling run. It was a homer in 30/30 parks, however had an anticipated BA of like .330…I perceive {that a} 30/30 homer might not have a 1.000 xBA, however isn’t it somewhat odd that what was apparently a no-doubter was by xBA a lot as a rule an out?
|
12:04 |
: My final query makes me surprise what the ‘worst’ 30/30 ballparks dwelling run by xBA regarded like
|
12:04 |
: I’ve by no means actually checked out this as I’m unconvinced by the utility
|
12:05 |
: a variety of park results are *oblique* and never simply park configuration
|
12:05 |
: Like in Oakland, a few of these 30/30 homers would have been foul outs earlier within the PA
|
12:05 |
: and it wind/temperature/humidity results from stadium to stadium
|
12:06 |
: how the hell is Eugenio doing this? I assume ZiPS thinks the staff possibility is an efficient deal by now?

12:09 |
: I might say no on that
|
12:09 |
: Thought it could be ENTERTAINIGN at a decrease degree
|
12:10 |
: Oh, I didn’t even reply the Eugenio query. Sorry I’m distractable
|
12:11 |
: ZiPS would have anticipated to be mroe prone to decide up the choice than not earlier than the season!
|
12:12 |
: It’s mainly a $13 million choice since there’s a $2 million buyout. Preseason, ZiPS had him at 2.0 WAR in 2025 with a 98 wRC+. Now it has him as much as 2.6 WAR
|
12:12 |
: Given the place Arizona is expertise sensible, with a mid-80sish win roster, it’s onerous to not decide up the choice
|
12:13 |
: How has Oneil Cruz’s bounce again from damage effected his projections?
|
12:13 |
: Up a bit, however mroe from elevated taking part in time than icnreased perfromance

12:14 |
: the house run in x ballparks, does it assume the identical projected distance all over the place together with COL/AZ?
|
12:14 |

|
12:14 |
: but it surely appears to be a generalized mannequin, not one particular to the scenario
|
12:14 |
: Your writing companion Ben did an article on WAR utilizing RE24. Do you like WAR completed this fashion and do you utilize this logic in any respect in ZIPS?
|
12:14 |
: I don’t desire this fashion, personally

12:15 |
: It’s INTERESTING in fact
|
12:15 |
: And it wouldn’t actually make a lot sense in ZiPS
|
12:15 |
: since the advantages of RE24 WAR are as a descriptor of what occurred, not an estimate of future expertise
|
12:16 |
: Festa might or might not have a two-start subsequent week. Ought to I danger it or run Woo for a one-start?
|
12:16 |
: Actually is dependent upon whether or not you want quantitative or qualitative class boosts
|
12:16 |
: It’s nonetheless early, however Jackson Merrill’s batted ball profile looks like it was designed by a pc program. Arduous line drive up the center, different manner, pulled excessive flyballs, and weak floor balls. Undecided I’ve something so as to add moreover stating that.
|
12:17 |
: What’s Improper with Corbin Burnes?
|
12:17 |
: I’m nto satisfied that it’s not only a plip
|
12:17 |
: blip
|
12:17 |
: Okay, pyramid ball then? I’ve had worse concepts.
|
12:17 |

|
12:17 |

|
12:18 |
: Which a kind of offers would you fairly have?
|
12:18 |
: probaby swanson nonetheless
|
12:19 |
: What are your ideas on how the Padres are dealing with Ethan Salas? Appears unusual to simply let a prime prospect battle like this. Final 12 months they even had him play a couple of video games in Double-A for some purpose too?
|
12:20 |
: They’ve expressed an curiosity in advancing him aggressively. I can’t say for positive, however I’ve gotten the sensation from speaking with folks that they really need him catching higher pitchers and that they assume the offensive half will maintain itself
|
12:20 |
: However Eric would most likely have a greater really feel for that
|
12:20 |
: Do you know that Christopher Sanchez is third in MLB in fWAR for pitchers?
|
12:20 |
: I did; he’s been up there all 12 months!
|
12:20 |
: Do you assume the Orioles may have gotten Skubal or Crochet in a trafor Mayo or Basillo, and in that case, will the Orioles remorse not pulling a set off on a deal like that on the deadline?
|
12:21 |
: OR? No.
|
12:21 |
: I’m fairly assured that the asks had been *excessive* particularly for Skubal
|
12:21 |
: And Crochet mainly asserting Operation Shutdown: The Subsequent Era if he didn’t get an extension, he turned riskier and fewer helpful
|
12:21 |
: What sort of deal do you assume Santander will get?
|
12:22 |
: 4 or 5 years for 20-25 mill every
|
12:22 |
: Win or lose with the contract extension of Chapman for the Giants? Protection is clearly elite, however is it value paying for that, a .230 avg, and 20 HRs?
|
12:22 |
: I used to be type of skeptical, however ZiPS assume it’s wonderful
|
12:22 |
: pyramid ball sounds good to lastly put Whit Merrifield out of his distress
|

: t y p i n g s l o w l y . . .
|
12:22 |
: simply wished to say i appreciated your Joey Votto article. I spent the previous few weeks studying all of the native and nationwide retrospectives on his profession and it 1) makes me really feel outdated, and a couple of) jogged a variety of nice recollections of fine Reds baseball. Can’t look ahead to him and Miggy to get inducted collectively!
|
12:22 |
Is he only a actually good participant who was ignored a bit by prospect rankings? Any concept what transfer to Sacramento might imply for him going ahead? |
12:23 |
: I believe one of many points is that he wasn’t some man crushing the minors who was a borderline Ken Phelps All_Star
|
12:23 |
: He had like a WRC+ within the 90s (UNtranslated) in AAA and I believe one thing like 110 in AA
|
12:23 |
: do you could have any intel on why Zach Eflin was so low-cost to amass in comparison with the opposite beginning pitchers moved on the deadline?
|
12:23 |

|
12:25 |
: who’s completed extra in 2024 for his or her future by ZiPS, Matt Shaw or Emmanuel Rodriguez?

|
12:27 |
: I’m a Steelers fan

|
12:28 |
: How do you assume that O’Neil Cruz will modify to CF? Wouldn’t RF be a extra logical spot given his arm?
|
12:28 |
: I believe he’ll be wonderful. It is smart to strive CF earlier than settling for a nook
|
12:28 |
: As an Orioles fan, would you be completely satisfied if the Orioles signed Santander at 4 x 25 million/12 months?

12:34 |
: Solely dabbled somewhat
|
12:35 |
: When was the final time you cried and why?
|
12:35 |

|
12:38 |
: The 8 spot the Twins gave up within the 4th to the Rays final evening was the worst type of dying by 1,000,000 paper cuts. I’m afraid they’ll simply limp into the playoffs with/with out Buxton/Correa after which for the primary spherical be like nah, we’re good and get swept
|
12:38 |
: Hey, they’ve completed that earlier than!
|
12:38 |
: Does zips purchase the brand new Hunter Brown?
|
12:38 |
: ZiPS has for some time
|
12:39 |
: Curious what ZiPS thinks of Chapman’s 30s after his rebound season. He’s now as much as 37.3 bWAR (30ish fWAR) at age 31. Dare we are saying…he has a shot on the HOF? Any manner you would see it taking place?

|
12:48 |
: No
|
12:48 |
: Did the horrible begin to the 12 months meaningfully transfer Carroll’s future projections? Conversely, has the torrid second half moved them again a lot in the event that they did?
|
12:49 |
: Not meaningfully, simply shaded down a bit

12:49 |
: if tearing up a bit = crying then I’m a veritable John Boehner

|
12:52 |
: Due to me screwing up the put up
|
12:52 |

I requested a couple of months in the past why ZiPS didn’t like Colton Cowser’s protection when he was T3 by OAA, and his protection has regularly gotten an increasing number of common since then. Similar factor with Masyn Winn, however the different manner!
|
12:53 |
: Surprisingly, they’re similar to the error bar for all defensive projections, which stunned me. Very massive
|
12:53 |
: if, again on july 1, ZiPS solely knew the longer term W/L report til now of certainly one of both BAL or NYY, what wouldn’t it have predicted the division odds of the opposite staff to be?
