2063 - Defensive Plays Above Average

[BaseClogger]

So funny story. We have 3 of the 4 same infielders and all same 3 outfielders and yet our defense is significantly better than last season. What the heck is that all about?

Gee, I wonder if the new infielder is any good at defense.

Gee, I wonder if the new infielder is any good at defense.

But

a) He replaced Twewertha, who was not bad at all
b) Doesn't explain why my outfield suddenly is better unless he's running out into the grass constantly

[RonCo]

Sample size could be one reason, another could be pitchers FB/GB shifts sway things. The metric is based on how your team does vs. what a league average team would do with your team's workload. If your team has fewer FB this year then last, then the number could be affected.

Okay, that would explain a lot. I emphasized GB pitchers, so that would mean less balls (hopefully) going to my not-really-awesome outfielders.

[BaseClogger]

Getting closer to where I thought we’d be. Much more reliant on the outfield than the infield, although we’re that team that inexplicably can’t handle infield line drives.

[lordtoffee]

Might need to sacrifice a bit of the defense for some hitting.

[Trebro]

We've definitely made significant improvements this year. I'm aware my OF defense is a bit soft but we're focused on ground ball pitchers so that's by design.

[CTBrewCrew]

NO rivals the old Brooklyn Days... look at the time laps....

[CTBrewCrew]

Viz updated…. NO just replaced BRK in the lower left

Geeze i might as well place garbage cans in the OF for Madison- i tnink we are the worst on OF LDs

[Dington]

I wonder what ratings drive line drive statistics. We’ve got good defense but struggle with LD.

[BaseClogger]

I wonder what ratings drive line drive statistics. We’ve got good defense but struggle with LD.

I’m thinking random luck beyond the obvious correlation to overall defensive ability.

[RonCo]

I'd guess sample size makes random factors stronger.

[Knucklehead254]

Wow currently second place! Must be having a great season right?

Right?

[CTBrewCrew]

Viz Updated....looks like Brook Park is joining NO over in the lower left quadrant.
