Love the pod Dansby and thanks for all the insight Ian! Keep fighting guys, I know it's been tough the last few weeks, but we've got your back! I know there's a playoff team in this clubhouse.
Boys, all you gotta do is swing at anything close. Especially inside fast balls as I’ve suggested 100 times. What’s Happ doing? A laser show, especially on inside pitches. Don’t let umps call you out on strike 3. They will. Let’s go dudes. Not too late. Great win against Baltimore. Let’s go Cubs.
The reason "hitting the runner over" and "productive outs" don't count towards WAR is because they are context-dependent (i.e. does the guy behind you drive him in?) One time he does, one time he doesn't. How can you assign value to a play, the value of which necessarily depends on how the guy behind you does? It's the same reason why RBIs are a flawed stat - you have no control over whether the guy in front of you gets on or not.
THIS is baseball players talking ball… if everyone was worried about what they’re highlighting within the game it would be must see tv! The little things are what win!
Ian Happ is such a class act.
Thank you for explaining the business end of baseball-there are so many things us fans just don’t understand
Are you a BETA… or is it just your comment?
Great insight into the day-to-day life of a big leaguer. Go Cubs!
