Instead of booing human umps, a few tech-savy fans will just figure out how to DOXX the robo ump

For a while, the "ex-Cubs factor" was used to explain post-season losses. Is there a team that has replaced the Cubs in this factor in light of the Cubs' better play more recently and, in particular, the 2016 WS win?

current Marlins.

I suspect Keeler had much more value as a baserunner than is in bWAR — he had 495 steals but we don't have caught stealing totals and he's actually debited 6 runs in overall baserunning.

that was weird

Dan Szymborski

It's very weird in that caught stealing didn't become an official MLB stat until the *1950s*

Should sac flies be re-classified as RBI flyouts, or should run scoring groundouts be re-classified as sac groundies?

Are there are plays these days that are not official stats, but which should be (a la caught stealing before the 50s)?

How in the world could those numbers be fashioned from the information available? It is as bad as defensive metrics from the 1910's.

Dan Szymborski

10:07

Thankfully, we stopped caring about what are official stats and what are not!

All the caught stealing numbers were found in retrospective research

Does anyone think Charlize Theron actually drinkers Budweiser

MLB really doesn't want a short series...

Sonny

That was the first time someone was thrown out. That’s why none of those C are in the hall. Bunch-a stiffs

I understand the frustration with the human-decided strike zone, but will we all be so trite and intolerant screaming for robots to replace our drivers and bartenders? Just saying, I know a robot can do my job, I'm just hoping you guys aren't pissed about it.

Dan Szymborski

10:08

When your bartender gets your order wrong, is he allowed to be a giant douchebag about it and throw you out?

another horrible home plate umpiring job.. roboumps can't come fast enough.

Jay Jaffe

10:09

damn bartender's union, those guys think they're untouchable. Been serving me Budweiser all night despite my ordering Lagunitas

Dan Szymborski

10:09

There's an ongoing attempt to replace me with a robot!

Dan, in light of your Reds article, is Shogo Akiyama a good target for them? He might be in their price range, and they could use a CFer so that Senzel could help fill their void in the middle infield.

Dan Szymborski

10:10

That's a really good idea

Brett W

I've seen the future of all FG content being AI-driven, and it's basically a grammatically regressed version of Cistulli.

Sonny

10:11

A bartender can absolutely throw you out for making too big a deal about their mistakes

Dan Szymborski

The owner might not be that happy

Odds on the Cards hacking the automatic zone when MLB has a password of "1234" protecting it?

Hey yo

10:13

I am a fan of this umpire's (Hederstrom?) ball/strike inflection. Solid.

Oh, hey. It's Juan Soto's birthday! He's 21.

Dan Szymborski

I think I heard something about that!

Not even on your birthday, Juan Soto!

I like Buck almost saying "haha, you could be his dad, Greinke!"

Hitting a ball foul for a HR is a neat trick, and suggests the need for robot umpires.

If the Nationals can win the whole thing, do you think this is a major upset and one of the bigger in many years? thank you
