So sorry Tom.

That’s sort of a typical difference, isn’t it?

Not to mention pitching in one of the all time best pitchers park unlikely to be built these days

I’ll did develop Loss Shares on his site but I don’t think he ever published them.

You know, bottom line, I think the main rub between Bill and WAR folks is the diff between average vs. zero baseline.

Then you should like xFIP, right? It’s basically K-BB plus flyball tendency.

I created xFIP back in the day because I basically found that HR/FB tends to randomness…but not always, as you say. It’s a probabilistic thing and of course you can’t be 100% sure who it applies to or not.

Not too. I was probably too focused on the ten year thingie

I always think of Willie Mays when I think about someone who hung on too long. 1961 or '62 would have probably done it.

Thanks for posting here Matthew. I subscribe to Slow Boring and am looking forward to the day you post your ongoing comments here too.

Done. Thanks Mark.
