Mad Man with a Box - Sept 17th 2011 - Yankees @ Jays - Gamethread

New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays, Sep 17, 2011 1:07 PM EDT


I have had a lot of discussions this year with colleagues of mine from work. They are insistent the Jays took a step back this year, especially with regards to the pitching staff. Usually my response to such things is yes on paper they have generally been worse, but it isn't like you expect a development curve for a pitching staff to be completely linear, especially for one as young as ours. When I look at our staff and I see Dustin McGowan returning and young promising pitchers like Alvarez plus the numerous arms in the system I can't help but disregard the thought of taking a step back this year.

Today we get to see Henderson Alvarez last start of the year at home for the Jays. So far he has been good in his short career and you can really see the promise the kid has. The question remains on how he will fit into the rotation picture next year, but we have an entire winter to discuss that ad naseum on the site so YAY!

Edwin out of the lineup today and Cooper takes over at DH, Lind moves back tot he clean up spot and Loewen heads out in place of Thames in LF. Johnson moves up to second spot in the lineup. Now the sixth straight game without Escobar, McCoy remains in the lineup at SS and leading off.

is jessef here?

I want to how how Hendy’s tRA is so much higher than his xFIP and SIERA if his GB numbers are elite

by benk on Sep 17, 2011 1:12 PM EDT reply actions  

tRA is an ERA estimator

it takes into account batted ball types (fly balls, ground balls, line drives, maybe infield flies) but one would assume excellent GB numbers would estimate a low ERA, but it’s estimating a higher ERA than strikeout-walk ERA estimators

by benk on Sep 17, 2011 1:14 PM EDT up reply actions  

possible

but it’s not that low; particularly since he’s pitching with Yunel behind him… I would still expect a high-or-mid-3 ERA estimation

by benk on Sep 17, 2011 1:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don't trust tRA as much as SIERA or FIP/xFIP

though I don’t know why

It's a good comination for sure.

Whenever a guy who gets a ton of grounders or strikeouts limits the walks like Alvarez has so far, they can get away with doing a lot less of the third thing while maintaining great numbers.

yup

he looks like a pretty good pitcher right now, and hopefully he can improve as he gets older

Kind of like Doc earlier in his career?

by Sniderlover on Sep 17, 2011 1:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

And why he can be effective against teams like the Yankees and Red Sox

Very patient approach will lead them to lots of 0-1 or 0-2 counts against Alvarez, forcing them to swing earlier. Since he allows a lot of groundballs, he won’t allow as many home runs. That takes away from their usual “take as many pitches as possible” game, as well as limits their ability to hit the long ball.

Now, he might have some troubles against more aggressive hitting teams (like the troubles Doc had against the Rangers).
