Saying the Mets were out hit is like saying the sun is coming up tomorrow.
Either way its a loss.

Batted Ball FIP, which estimates the expected number of runs scored based on K's, BB's and batted balls, says that:
Adam Wainwright would be expected to give up 2.94 runs per 9 innings pitching as he did today. It says that Harvey would be expected to give up .5 runs per 9 innings pitching as he did today. Plenty of evidence that Harvey out-pitched Wainwright, but will still take the loss.

I don't see how Wainwright pitched better.

I don't see how Wainwright pitched better.

Originally posted by filihok View PostThanks.
Matt Harvey and Adam Wainwright were the only two players responsible for those number are they?
Measuring things that the pitchers are most responsible for, Harvey was slightly better than Wainwright

By the way, I may have missed this stat......did you ever play competitive sports, even at a HS or College intramural level? Or higher? Just asking.

Who would you say pitched better?
Justin Verlander going 9 innings giving up 9 hits, 1 run, 3 walks and 9 K's against the Baseball-Fever All-Stars with the AL Gold Glover winners playing defense behind him
or
CC Sabathia going 9 innings giving up 9 hits, 1 runs, 3 walks and 9 K's against the NL All-Stars with another group of Baseball-Fever All-Stars playing defense behind him?
As noted above, Harvey and Wainwright weren't the only players responsible for the final score in that game. So, simply saying that Wainwright was better than Harvey because the Cardinals beat the Mets doesn't really make any sense.Last edited by filihok; 06-13-2013, 05:01 PM.

Pfft.
All that matters today is that the Mets lost, and the Cards won.
Some much effort is put into finding a new-fangled stat to show who is the best and who is better than another or the best. Getting to the point where you guys are running out of acronyms for all of your different formulas. How long before someone finds a way to measure the percentage of line drives that were fractions of an inch from being a fly ball or a ground out or vice versa. I mean, you talk about walks and K's but other websites will show how many of the balls should have been strikes if the ump was calling by the correct strike zone and next thing you'll be telling me that if the ump had called the true strike zone then the pitcher would have had 1.2 more K's per 9 and .67 fewer walks per 9, which undoubtedly will prompt some quick-minded statistical major to develop the eBatted Ball FIP or the aBatted Ball FIP.
Ever think maybe there is no "true" "estimated" or "adjusted" statistical measure of the game of baseball?
Maybe?Last edited by EasilyFound; 06-13-2013, 08:26 PM.

To most people baseball doesn't matter at all.
On a website geared towards people who want to discuss baseball, baseball probably matters more.
To some people whether or not the Mets won may matter.
To other people it may matter which pitcher pitched better.
It doesn't matter to me
But I do find it interesting

I'd be willing to wager that you discuss individual players: compare them, consider how much they contribute to helping a team to win. You probably even use (gasp) statistics to do so.

I also recently posted this, which is in a similar vein.
