Liriano has been stellar, but that BABIP is in line with his batted ball profile. (nm)

Posted by musubi Aug 13 '10, 12:12

That HR rate has to regress to the mean, that BABIP might not for a while.

If you gave me one stat to analyze pitchers, it would be WHIP. - groiny Aug 13, 12:16 3

  - oh, and for you from BB, the reason the AL Central is always tightly contested.... - groiny Aug 13, 12:21 1

Whoops. Looked at the wrong number. It is a little inflated. Still, it's in line. That HR number isn't. - musubi Aug 13, 12:15 3
- so you ignore the runners allowed per 9 innings? - groiny Aug 13, 12:20 2
  - You don't ignore it, but it's not the end all be all. Single point analysis rarely works in baseball. Liriano has been fabulous at many things. - musubi Aug 13, 12:23 1
    - which I gave him credit for. 2 HR in 140 innings is insane. - groiny Aug 13, 12:27

- And his LD% is something like ~20+, which typically correlates to a .320 BABIP +/- .010. - musubi Aug 13, 12:18 1

- Look at Price, Weaver, Pavano, Lee, Cahill, Danks, CC...... - groiny Aug 13, 12:17 18
  - Pavano? Cahill? CC? Really? You're gonna hang your hat on those? Liriano's easily been better than all three. Easily. (nm) - musubi Aug 13, 12:21 16
    - It is like you guys are looking at XBox stats or something...... - groiny Aug 13, 12:26 11
      - Weaver and Danks (maaaaaybe CC) at least have an arguement. Cahill and Pavano? Nuh-uh. (nm) - musubi Aug 13, 12:32 9
        
        You might want to look at Cahill's numbers again, and Pavano too while you ar at it. - groiny Aug 13, 12:35 8

        Cahill allows a .192 batting average against, 11 homers in 133 innings - groiny Aug 13, 12:43 6
        
        Cahill is very good. Liriano has been better. (nm) - musubi Aug 13, 12:48 1

        your ability to circumvent a tried and true stat is amazing. - groiny Aug 13, 12:49

    - I just looked at Price's numbers. He's Liriano-lite. not sure why you think he's better than Liriano. - musubi Aug 13, 12:26 3
      - Because he's a Commodore. - TFox Aug 13, 12:27 2
