The two things all sabermetricians need to understand is: 1) it is a far easier route to reach success in this game of baseball- either as manager or player or media-member or fanciful enthusiast by NOT employing the use of sabermetrics. Being a successful sabermetrician means having to provide endless context and countless abstract theories while also necessitating the author/host be a kick-ass writer to add the flowery prose to what is essentially endless math. Bill James achieved this tho I was never a big fan of most of his ideas like at all in any way LOL 2) The absolute biggest lie that has constantly been repeated in the baseball industry over the last 20+ years is that being a sabermetric guy somehow makes running a baseball team easier- ALONG WITH a similar lie that being a saberemetrician somehow makes someone a better or more vital or more serious baseball writer OR media member OR player OR poscaster. This is all complete bullshit

You guys need to be understand that I care about this show succeeding- or more specifically- I would rather this show be good content rather than bad content. And right now- unfortunately- this show appears more an exercise in mediocrity rather than a display of enlightened meditations on ball.

A succesful sabermetric-focused baseball program must accomplish ONE of these things listed below- or else otherwise it is simply a mislabeled and purposefully confusing fantasy baseball show which should definitely be labeled "Fantasy Baseball" moving forward. Anyways... 1) spur an interest in math within the reader/listener 2) spur an interest in understanding the components which go into a team playing winning baseball 3) spur a reevaluation and/or recontextualization of some aspect of baseball history 4) be generally thought provoking and/or eye-opening 5) the show having some sort of light script and/or structure

Thank you DVR and Eno

This show doesn't explain why someone who likes baseball should care about statistics AND/or it doesnt explain why someone who likes statistics should care about sports 👆👆👆

What the hell is this show about tho

ranking order with Kelenic, Keith, Busch and Burleson for rest of the season?

ALCANTARA. There is a whole ass letter in the name that white people refuse to pronounce. AWL-KAHN-TAR-UH. Not AWL-CONTRA There's an A between the T and the R. TAR. Come on.

I think you guys may have brushed over Wrobleski. Dodgers have churned out a lot of promising arms over the last couple years but this guy has a shot to be the best. Fastball that can tough 98 with great extension. Rivals River Ryan for the best athlete in the system.

Why is Fangraphs so low on Connor Norby? All the dude does is rake in AAA. I know he doesn't play a premier position, but if you can hit like he can why does it matter?

One of my buddies in our fantasy league is really old school with baseball. The other day he was talking with us about how he finally started looking at sites like baseball savant and he really was liking the barrel stat. I think that stat is one of my favorites because even if you're an old school scout who hates these stat changes in evaluating, the stat explains to them what they already know but just quantitative. From the name to what it's measuring, it feels like a stat an old school scout can look at, make sense of, and say yeah this all tracks with my experience.

I’d start Stroman over Clark Schmidt in a playoff game without question

Forgot a key part to the Monty Hall Problem. He reveals a door that is NOT the prize. So the question is keep your original choice or switch to the door that wasn't revealed. Does not apply to this baseball question (switching who you think is going to win the division).

FWIW, team in baseball has overperformed its BaseRuns/adjusted Pythag more than the Guardians; they’ve done so by something like 10 wins, which is just nuts. I agree with Eno that the Twins are the better team; it’s just tough to account for health and luck, and of course, Cleveland has already banked a ton of wins. But if there were a second-half winner, I think it could be Minnesota, especially if they get a little healthier (and maybe KC would leapfrog into second). 🤷🏽‍♂️

Last year Altuve was injured so Merrifield was #2 A.L. second baseman behind Semien. What about Gleybar Torres ? He was doing his usual suck.

MLB Inc. has decided the most profitable way of doing business is for ballclubs to chase the bandwagon fan and people who usually arent marketed to. Well have fun America when you R watching game 7 of the world series sorrounded by morons. Enjoy that experience 🙄

So basically the premise of this show is about evaluating ballplayers. Ok cool. Now what I don't understand is why not have the word: fantasy baseball- in the literal title tho ??? Ok maybe Im wrong. That happens Maybe this is about recent trends in front offices like business of sports ??? Ok so maybe have the words business and/or front office should be in title, right ???? I am confused and would appreciate clarification 👍😕

Angel Martinez is legit

Lindor always shows up like he didn’t practice even one time in the offseason … and Stroman has never been good.

Was about to write a comment explaining the Monty hall problem but I saw like 5 others lol

It's definitely more than a pitching issue for the Yankees. They seem incapable of manufacturing runs beyond what Soto and Judge bring to the table.

Not sure how to get the message to eno but I’m a data scientist so it is my thing. You switch on the Monty hall problem because the only want to not win the car is if you picked the car the first time. So you have a 1/3 chance to pick the car, so if you switch you then have a 2/3 chance

eno - you switch because your first guess was made with 1/3 odds. with a door removed you get to choose a door with 50/50 odds.

About Monty hall, imagine there are 1 million doors, you chose one, the host opens 999998 doors all of which have goats behind them, and then you are asked to switch, would you? Another way to think about it is you pick a door, there is a 1/3 chance you picked a car. Following that, Monty hall reveals a goat, but he always does that no matter what, so it provides no new information and there is still a 1/3 chance you have the car. Because there are only 2 doors left indeterminate if you switch and you didn’t pick the car(2/3) you always win.

Lindor.... please look at the late and close #s with the Mets on Baseball-Reference. Under 200 this year, 200 last year, and 210 in 2022. He hits a walkoff hit to cf. Is interviewed on the field after a WIN. shoulders slumped and 'I didn't do what i was trying to do, I didnt hit a homerun' He has me talking to the TV... down by 1 with runners on 2nd and 3rd. 'Hit the ball the other way, your not going to getca pitch in side.' IFFB trying to pull a pitch off the plate away. Theres no situational hitting. Its just the look inside and drive the ball. (This run he's better, the 2nd half last year he was good by hitting the ball the other way situationally when called for when the Mets already sold.) Glove is great. Very happy with the glove.

Carl Willis will sprinkle his magic on Spencer Howard, so he'll be a 2nd half all star. Angel Martinez is a baller! hitting 2nd in between kwan and Jram! Jon Singleton is this years second half tristan casas hr beast

Tigers still. You will rue this day!

Bobby Miller next Hunter Brown? He's been awful most of the year

Keider Montero!!!

Angel Martinez hitting between Kwan and Jram and Jon Singleton is about to mash NUKES!

On the craft Eno got interrupted before answering a Hayden Birdsong question, I’m curious what he thinks about bad fastball good secondaries in general

I might have to stop watching after min 3, because I'm not sure if it can get better than Eno's (mis)understanding of Hot Topic.

Hot Topic is not Punk Rock. m.ua-cam.com/video/qL8Xt-pOc6M/v-deo.html

First viewer. That means until the next person watches this video, I am the smartest man on the planet on all things Shane Baz

Fitzgerald needs to start way more games for Giants. In MLB U will see every ballclub go thru stretches where they aren't getting hits (Mariners/Indians of nineties EXCLUDED) and an elite baserunner can give the offense a jolt of confidence when the hits just aren't falling.

The original name for a pitcher was feeder because nobody goes to games to watch pitching

Starting the slippery slope of betting where 20 years in the future most professional sports leagues will have massive issues with getting fans to believe what happens on the field is real and not a result of players, coaches, umpires, all manipulating things

Will Sterling Marte be this years Ozuna? a late year monster.

Angel Martinez is SUPER sneaky

I imagine Jonathon Broxton crushes eating competitions

JD is angling for a career as a hitting coach. #GoldenParachute

Love when she is on, very good energy.

The two teams are obviously very different, other than having terrible bullpens, but it is fun to note that after 50 games, the 2019 Nationals were 19-31, while the 2024 Mets were 21-29, and the Mets are currently 41-41, exactly the same as those Nats were after 82 games. And they have a fairly soft schedule through July 22. While their own pitching is obviously a problem, the Mets have beaten up on tough pitching, as their adjusted (third-order) Pythag numbers indicate. In the FWIW department, they have the league’s 8th-best BaseRuns record, at 45-37, virtually tied with the Twins, and ahead of-in order-the Mariners, Astros, Royals, Guardians, and Padres, and pretty darned close to the Brewers, Yankees, and Atlanta. It’s not necessarily predictive, but they’ve been underperforming their BaseRuns and adjusted Pythag all along, so perhaps they are a legit contender, and should improve their pitching before it has a chance to torpedo their season.

How close is Daniel Schneemann looking to Joey Ortiz 2.0? Kind of hard to say "2.0" since this was also the Joey Ortiz breakout year, but it would be nice to nail both in the same season

Richard Simmons looking dude hating on Trout. Same dude went on a tangent about his love for Jazz Jhism.and the meanie racism survey. What gives?

great stuff guys , thanks

Thanks for this. I have Imanaga, Ranger Suarez, and Bryce Miller. Feeling like I need to upgrade via trade. Who should I target for rest of the season...?

Kwan's speed is down this year, but I assume it's just him taking it easy because of the hamstring.

I miss Cincy Chile

Leave it to Eno for the most rational take on Ai and society.😂
