Comments on: Comparing lineups of Yankees playoffs past http://riveraveblues.com/2009/10/comparing-lineups-of-yankees-playoffs-past-18002/ A New York Yankees Blog Wed, 15 Feb 2012 07:19:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Yanks4ever http://riveraveblues.com/2009/10/comparing-lineups-of-yankees-playoffs-past-18002/#comment-612238 Yanks4ever Tue, 06 Oct 2009 00:03:28 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/?p=18002#comment-612238 I actually would agree with you on that one. I want my best pitcher to pitch a pivotal game 4 because CC on short rest is far superior to any other option we have at the moment. Only if we are fortunate enough to have a 3-0 lead in ALCS or WS, do we not pitch the big guy in that situation. Plus, let us not forget, who would you rather have in a game 7 - CC or Andy? Once again, I would take Carsten Charles on normal rest after that short rested game 4 appearence. I actually would agree with you on that one.

The team wasnt that good because its all about SP. When Jaret Wright starts a deciding game you know you’re in big trouble. The team wasnt that good because its all about SP.

Only the Dodgers, at 714, have a better rating than the Yanks (at 697). Thanks a lot, Chris. Only the Dodgers, at 714, have a better rating than the Yanks (at 697).

Def Eff can be approximated with (1 - BABIP), if all you have is BABIP, but a team's actual Def Eff is computed with 1 - ((H + ROE - HR) / (PA - BB - SO - HBP - HR)) Defensive Efficiency

Therefore, Brian Bruney is a better pitcher than Zach Greinke. Cy Young 2010! Greinke was good but Greinke had half the k’s Bruney had in 6 more innings of work.
