We had a squad that was determined to bring home a W but never could. Tim DiFiore’s strong pitching led the way for most of the season, but he needed some support in the field.

  • Delay Is Not Denial
    Delay is Not Denial When I was with the Colorado Rockies, I had the pleasure of working with Clint Hurdle, a Major League manager and one of the best in the game today. Almost everyone who knows Clint agrees he’s an even better person than merely a great baseball manager. Clint could be tough and stern when needed, but he always showed compassion toward others. When we worked together, we had to send players down from the Major League squad to the AAA team at the end of Spring Training, as they were not going to make the 25-man roster. This makes the last week of Spring Training a stressful time for players and staff. The majority of veteran players feel confident they’ve made the team, but the others sit squarely on the “bubble,” knowing their fate could go either way. When a player was deemed headed to AAA, one of the coaches would send him to Clint’s office. There, we’d break the unfortunate news gingerly, knowing the player’s feelings were already hurt. No need to throw salt in the wound by being too negative. Clint would handle the situation as well as I have ever seen. He got the departing player to understand he was an important part of our club that season and could eventually rejoin the team at the Major League level. If that return was likely sooner than later, Clint used a particular statement that struck me as perfect for the situation. He’d say, “Delay is not denial.” It’s so true.

  • Changing a Team's Wrc+ Statistic
    Changing a Team's wRC+ Statistic This is the seventh of a series of preseason articles about the impact of air density on baseball performance, written for DailyBaseballData.com by Clifton Neeley of www.baseballVMI.com . Even casual observers understand that the Colorado Rockies are the single most unique team ever to compete in Major League Baseball. They have the highest home batting average of any team ever over the course of their history and maintain the highest home winning percent over their history. But, coupling those gaudy home numbers with the lowest road batting averages and win percent, as well as recent revelations of their Weighted Runs Created, Plus (wRC+) statistic, the Rockies remain an anomaly, almost indescribable. A recent article in the Denver Post by writer Patrick Saunders pointed out the wRC+ road statistic as being the worst in the league in spite of the overall high scoring production. Mr. Saunders also outlined the management's planned attempt to bring the road stat into more normal ranges. To be fair, the management has their hands tied. Each year the Rockies add another statistical anomaly without being able to fix any, and the team has done nothing in terms of facilities to prepare for the future, so a new idea must be born every year in order to promise the fans a reason to buy tickets. Just as all the other teams in the league have done for years, they promise a new player, a new coach or manager, and/or a new focus on bringing the most recently exposed anomaly into conformity with the balance of the league.

Analyzing Managerial Efficiency in Major League Baseball: A Sabermetric Approach Jebediah C. Clarke A Thesis Submitted to Department of Economics Skidmore College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for a B.A. Degree Thesis Advisor: Joerg Bibow May 3rd, 2016 Abstract Modern statistical analysis has allowed for teams to more accurately measure Major League Baseball player performance. However, other than tracing wins there are few ways to track the performance of on-field managers whose strategies, decisions, and expertise fundamentally influence the outcome of each game. I begin this paper by investigating and critiquing prior empirical analyses that have attempted to quantify the effect of managerial skill on team performance. Using Stochastic Frontier Analysis and data from the 2008-2015 MLB seasons, I expand on previous research by calculating managerial efficiency estimates while including control variables that better objectively measure player performance. I find that the least efficient managers achieve winning percentages that are around 80% of what is possible, given their players’ talent level.
