    RE: If you were an Astros fan...

    Okay I guess since everyone is giving their opinions on the matter...

    1. The Astros cheated, there is no denying that

    2. Their apology was one of the worst I've ever seen

    3. The fans have made it 100% worse because a lot of them have managed to be condescending jerks about their team doing something blatantly wrong

    4. It is, in fact a big deal, not because the Astros were good at it, but because they won with it, other teams didn't win and also stopped

    5. This is not going away, we still talk about the Black Sox, Pete Rose, and the steroid era

    6. There is this huge victim complex that the fans and players have that makes other people absolutely incapable of liking or forgiving them any time soon

    7. Bringing other teams down to your level is not how you justify your own team's actions. What the Astros did was on a far larger scale than anything else we've seen in recent memory, there was not an equal scale like in the steroid era because everyone was doing it, it's just flat out cheating

    8. Personally, to me, not being angry or embarrassed or upset at the situation shows where you are as a baseball fan. There's nothing wrong with being an Astros fan or a fan of a team, not being angry at a situation that made an absolute mockery of our sport shows that you are not a Baseball fan and you don't want what's best for the sport, you are a fan of a team, not the sport

    RE: Pause time during Ranked Season Matchups.

    @dart_wuffy said in Pause time during Ranked Season Matchups.:

    Not to be a [censored] here but if they cut the pause time in half the more competitive people will complain and it will go back to normal. Also family takes precidence over video games everyday so you prob should be paying more attention to them than wondering why Good/Good = a lineout (not saying you do just a general example of complaints I've seen)

    The more competitive guys are the ones who want less pause time

    RE: Blood Diamond Oswalt!

    I'm going to be honest, I haven't spent a cent on the game but I'm pretty sure I have a better squad than this, also there's people who are nms with Mantle so there's that too

    RE: Lefty/Righty Starting Lineups

    Do you understand how broken that would be? Fotf Ozzie Albies would suddenly be the most sought after card in the game and you'd be seeing silver Pedro Alvarez at 700+ rating, we don't see the lineups like this so the pitching doesn't get screwed

    If you don't want to switch in all of your replacements against a lefty then learn to hit lefty lefty or get some switch hitters, setting a lineup against dominant arm would be asking for the pitcher's era to commit non-alive(don't hurt me mods)

    I can't stress how bad of an idea this is, just carry a lineup that goes lefty righty 1-8 like everyone else does instead of trying to get a jump start by loading your lineup against a dominant hand

    Neil Walker has a higher career WAR than Carter. Neil. Walker. In fewer years.

    The stats don't lie.

    Farris you don't know what you're getting yourself into with this guy

    RE: Rank them

    @bonion said in Rank them:

    @JustASeal0 i respectfully disagree on Robles not being very good. He was my first choice as I was doing good w Garver and skipped the Sanchez bandwagon. I’m not there to look at stats but somewhere between a .330 BA and .800 OPS. FOFT Buxton may be better (never used) but I do much better w Robles then Mondessi with many more PA’s. Mondessi will give you more HR’s tho. Morton just sucks.

    Anyone reaching their first pick, don’t sleep on Robles, only downside is outfield options will be tighter then other positions

    .800 ops wouldn't touch my squad, everyone I use has a 1.250 ops or higher

    I have an .800 ops with Robles, he stinks

    RE: Rank them

    Reward path:

    • Posey

    The best catcher you'll see in this game for a while, better than Biggio

    • Sandberg

    Elite 2B, 5 tool player with a killer bat

    • Reggie Jackson

    Top tier bat and swing, fielding hurts him a little

    • Larkin and Minoso

    Not bad, just not as good as the others

    High diamond:

    • Kluber

    Best starter in the game

    • Fingers

    Best reliever in the game

    • Newhouser

    Elite starter at this point, very usable with great stamina

    • McCovey

    Great pinch hitter vs righties

    • Henderson

    Probably your 3rd best bench bat against lefties, glorified pinch runner

    Classic pack:

    • Mondesi

    Still elite SS card to this day

    • Sanchez

    Is a goon but easily replaced by Posey, still a very good bench bat

    • Reyes

    Semi useful starter early game for anyone, can be effective when utilized well

    • Morton

    Mop up arm / 6th starter, he's not good but he can eat innings

    • Robles

    This card isn't very good, he excels at nothing. Outclassed by Buxton, Acuña, Judge, and maybe even Kevin Kiermaier with his glitchy swing

    RE: I dont understand the NMS flex.

    I'm okay when it has to do with relying on your skill level to be NMS, flipping is a pretty weak flex (obviously still the move, just not much to brag about unless you're Teepz). However, for me, the enjoyment of being NMS is that you feel like you built something naturally, I make almost all my stubs from br and events and getting 12 wins in either feels great. Piggy backing off your own skill in order to avoid paying on the game is an incredibly rewarding feeling, you should try it

    RE: Hal or Ricky?

    The order of who to take in that pack without bias is easily:

    • Kluber

    • Rollie or Hal (depending on if you need pen help or rotation help)

    • The other one of Rollie and Hal

    • McCovey for a bench bat

    • Henderson because he's probably your 3rd best bench bat against lefties so is basically a glorified pinch runner, not much better than Mondesi

    Basically I'm saying take Hal

    RE: The future stars, ranked by my opinion

    Almost anyone who's used both Gorman and Jones know that Gorman >>>

    It took me some 35 at bats to get used to it but a 1.511 ops in 100 at bats ain't too shabby for Gorman

    RE: WAR MOST OVERRATED FORMULA IN BASEBALL

    @ilvmyjeep said in WAR MOST OVERRATED FORMULA IN BASEBALL:

    Bottom line is that WAR is imperfect and flawed (OP’s point), but is currently the best available stand alone stat we have to compare players across different eras (other commenters points).

    In 2019, Justin Verlander was 21-6 with a 2.58 ERA and 300k. His pitching was worth 7.4bWAR. In 2019, Mike Minor was 14-10 with a 3.59 ERA and 200k. His pitching was worth 7.8bWAR.

    In 2019, Gerrit Cole was 20-5 with a 2.50 ERA and 326k. His pitching was worth 6.6bWAR. In 2019, Lance Lynn was 16-11 with a 3.67 ERA and 246k. His pitching was worth 7.5bWAR.

    In this case, WAR is misleading. Despite having lower bWAR totals, Verlander and Cole had better seasons. Accordingly, Verlander and Cole finished 1st and 2nd in Cy Young voting while Lynn and Minor finished 5th and 8th.

    bWAR includes park adjustments, so playing in Globe Life increased the bWAR totals of Lynn and Minor and without a deeper dive could lead someone that lives and dies by WAR to believe that Lynn and Minor were better than Verlander and Cole last season. Which to OP’s point, would be a ridiculous conclusion.

    Having said that, more often than not, WAR (bWAR or fWAR) is going to be the best all-incompassing stand alone indicator of performance. The best players will consistently post the highest WAR totals.

    In baseball, almost everything is recorded, quantified, and analyzed. With all the information that’s available, why would anyone choose just one stat to look at when comparing players? Even if that stat is comprised/calculated using other stats, it’s impossible to paint the entire picture and honestly, that person is just missing out on the incredible and fascinating information that’s out there.

    I apologize to anyone who stuck with me and read all this. Believe it or not, I tried to keep it short. There’s just so much information out there that people are missing out on, and because of it, there’s seasons and careers that get tragically overlooked.

    1. No one with half a brain uses bWAR for anyone other than infielders and WAR actually is somewhat flawed for pitchers

    2. fWAR is a superior stat in all ways to bWAR

    3. Era should not effect WAR anyway because it's dependent on quality of fielders and is a more flawed stat than WAR itself, instead fWAR uses FIP(fielding independent pitching), which is an independent stat that doesn't rely on the fielding besides catcher framing

    4. Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole had better seasons, which is why no one with half a brain uses bWAR for anything besides 3rd base, as well as SS and 2B occasionally
