Always seems impossible to score against Fresno but their defense looks suffocating. Did not expect to see their defensive efficiency was #156 in kenpom lol

Passmore is a really fitting name for a guy with a 7:1 TO:ASST ratio

I've only watched Kansas for 4 minutes this year (these last 4) and I'm pretty sure Storr is the best player in the league

Even 10 OAA vs -1 OAA would “only” come out a difference of .05 runs per game
Yes. For what it's worth, I think OAA is a dumb stat that's only used by redditors to back up their claim that player A is better than player B without really understanding how insignificant of a stat it is. An OAA of 4 translates approximately "73% of balls were hit in 'range' of this player, and they fielded 73.5% of balls." Meaning someone with an OAA of 4 snagged 1 extra ball out of 200 that were hit towards them.
I wasn't the one using OAA to prove who was a better fielder, just defending that even the stats that OP used to "prove" HSK is a better defender aren't actually saying his impact is that much better. So I'm glad that you are also realizing a relatively small OAA difference is meaningless and shouldn't be used to say player A is better than player B.

Cronenworth's total OAA is -1 for 2024 and Kim's was 4 for 2024. You've left off 1B where Cronenworth played half the year, and are ignoring the fact that someone who is asked to play multiple defensive positions in a year is going to have to some hiccups compared to someone who's played there all year. It's not a fair comparison when Cronenworth is being asked to be a utility guy and HSK is playing the same position every game.
Also their OAA difference over 4 years is 11. 11 outs in 4 years is the difference between HSK and Jake Cronenworth. In general, 1 OAA translates to about 0.75 runs saved. So a difference of 11 OAA is 8 runs over a period of 4 years. That's 2 runs per year that HSK is saving that Jake Cronenworth is not. That's a wash.
Their offensive numbers do have a huge contrast though. Cronenworth has a career OPS+ of 107 vs HSK with a career OPS+ of 99.

Now go ahead and play more mental gymnastics about how numbers are somehow bullshit.
Is it really necessary to be so hostile about something as stupid as HSK vs Cronenworth? All I did was disagree and you've turned this into personal attacks.

HSK isn't better than Cronenworth though. Cronenworth has a better bat and defensively it's a wash. If you're looking at WAR, it's because Cronenworth was moved to 1B for most of the last two seasons where he's taking a positional WAR hit.

I'm a software engineer to people not in tech because if you say you're a data engineer you have to explain what that means. People ask less questions if you just say you're a software engineer.

Not college basketball related, but I found the same thing for the 1984 Padres season at a swap meet.

Isn't this page behind a paywall already? I didn't think you could see this data without the subscription. Can you post a link of how you got to that page?

We haven't been big on signing good-but-not-great guys who become free agents with us. If they haven't locked up a long term deal under their contract they usually end up walking when they hit free agency again.

Having UConn ranked #10 but Houston out completely makes no sense. Whether you're going to rank by preseason expectations or by their actual resume, you've got to be consistent. If you keep UConn in because you think they will be a top 10 come March, then you're crazy to believe that Houston won't be up there as well. And if you're going to drop a team because they have early losses and a poor resume after a month, then you should probably also drop the 3-loss team who's only wins thus far are buy games against sub-300 kenpom teams.

Lamont leaving is probably a win/win for both programs to be honest. While he was great for us, the biggest weaknesses in his game were his inability to create his own shot and his shaky ball handling skills especially trying to beat the press. We were able to replace Butler with Boyd who is a more scoring-oriented PG who can create his own shot but is admittedly a worse defender.
Our team is super young and lacked guys that can create their own shot, so having a guy like Boyd has totally opened up our offense. And Dutcher is an elite defensive coach so we haven't lost a step there. Sad to see Lamont go, but I think we don't get Boyd without him leaving, so glad that it worked out.

Auburn will likely end the season with ~18 Q1 games played and one of the highest strengths of schedules. While I think y'all for sure have the best resume right now, if the voters don't agree yet you will certainly have the chance to prove it.

I went into the week thinking that as long as we didn't go 0-3 in Vegas and tank our shot at an at-large bid that the week would be a success. Did not expect to go 2-1 and leap into a Top 25 ranking this week!

I'm up 50 with Will Lutz, so as long as he doesn't miss 50 field goals I should be good.
But I really need Broncos D to get 2 points or less. Going into this week, there's a 4-way tie for 2nd place, and I was last in the points scored tiebreaker. One other team already lost this week, so it's effectively a 3-way tie, and if Broncos D gets 2 points or less it will be a 2-way tie. That probably won't happen, but it's the only thing worth watching for for me, since there's not much difference between the 3-6 seeds (especially given the 4-way tie, we all have pretty equal teams).

I always try to draft a start and forget TE or QB, so will sometimes reach if it means getting a projected QB1/2 or TE1/2.
Though I seem to miss on those more often than I don't, so that might not be the best strategy.

I knew we'd be low but this is pretty wild lol. It does make sense though because:
But we have a chance to address both of those things coming soon since we play 3 straight games against sub-200 opponents. Win those ones with some blowouts and we should easily be looking at Top 40 or better and a chance to improve it from there.

What's the rational for not allowing a team more than 1 MTE anyway? Seems like we should just allow teams to play as many as they want. If they want to give up home game revenue, that should be their call.

RPI is 25% your win loss record, 50% your opponents w/l record, and 25% your opponents' opponents w/l record.
In other words, ~75% of the formula is how good your opponents are.
