These are Stephenson's 2022 stats projected over 150 games. .319 average .854 OPS 130 OPS plus 18 HR 105 RBI 5.1 WAR I can see why moving him would be beneficial. I just don’t know if the Reds will do it. Especially if he’s adamant he doesn’t want to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Still don't understand managers today. The Marlins pitcher has been dominate through 7 innings giving up only 1 run and 2 hits 11 K's and no walks 94 pitches. They are taking out the pitcher with a 2-1 lead.

Even the robo umps that have experimented with in the minors have had bad strike calls. Partially because the strike zone changes with every hitter. Even the boxes they put on tv aren’t always accurate which doesn’t help umpires. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you throw out Angel Hernandez I would bet most Umps operate over 95% on balls and strikes and that might be too low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys have been listening to Joe West's BS... Gee, I wonder why? "But that's not to say all umpires are as bad as they're made out to be. The likes of John Libka, Tripp Gibson, and Pat Holberg are all examples of umpires who are consistent in their accuracy, all scoring accuracies above 95%. Just as there are consistently accurate umpires, there are umpires who have been shown to be less accurate. Umpires like Rob Drake, Angel Hernandez, and the retired Joe West are all cases of umpires who scored accuracies between 91-92.7%, which may not sound horrible compared to the 95% of the aforementioned umpires. However, according to the data, these mistakes would have a run impact of 1.5-1.6 per game, when compared to Libka, Gibson, and Holberg, who all had sub-1.00 run impacts, it shows that they do make a difference in how the games pan out." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this. I’m just stating that not every umpire adjusts the same way and the robo umps that have been tested with haven’t either.

Never knew the exact numbers. Thanks for sharing. 1.5 runs per game of an impact? Robo time unless someone can point me in a better direction besides the bad calls are part of it deal.

I just like the human element to sports and they are trying to take all of this away. Players aren't perfect so are we just going to have robots playing the game as well. How about just have all games played on a simulator Edited July 27, 2022 by IU Scott 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 I would love for the Reds to be able to keep guys like Drury, Salano, Farmer and Reynolds for the future. They are just really good professional ball players who know how to hit. The problem is all of them our mainly infielders and most of the the top prospects for the Refs are infielders.

IU Scott Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 If the 7th inning was Castillo's last as a Red it was pretty impressive. Going into the inning the Reds were up 5-2 but the Marlins first 3 guys got on and scored a run. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and no outs Castillo struck out the next 3 batters. Going into the inning he had only had 67 pitches but threw 25 in the 7th so that was probably his last inning. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
