It’s nice to see another human who shares my affinity for Brad Radke
What about managers?
That era is so wild. He put up 6.2 WAR with a 4.45 ERA. Imagine giving up a run every other inning and being one of the best in the world.
Hell to the fuck yeah
Very happy to see this change, I never understood why it was so hard to view year by year WAR when other much more obscure stats are so visible.
That 1999 line is awful.
It’s funny to me that I looked at this and was immediately like “oh that’s Brad Radke”
that’s brad radke you can’t fool me
They also had like 1 day when the war for every position player was adjusted up and then it went back down Judge went from a 10.8 to an 11.4, Soto went from 7.9 to 8.8, Ohtani went up .2 or .3 war
I noticed this, it was pretty frustrating trying to find it before, good move.
Nov 1st: Baseball Reference moves WAR to the beginning of the main table for hitters.
Nov. 20th: Baseball Reference moves WAR to the beginning of the main table for pitchers
December 10th: Baseball Reference declares war on the Federated States of Micronesia
Sweet, now I can look upon Aaron Nola’s 2018, 9.7 WAR season for solace when he gives up the routine tot in the 4th inning…again.
A big day for dorks lol
If Radke had been born 15-20 years later he would have been considered one of the top SPs in the league.
It’s great that WAR is more visable, but the inevitable “I don’t understand WAR, this player is bad because his WAR is bad” arguments this helps engender are not going to be fun.
Love it
this is a great addition!
My one big wish for BR is have a drop down menu for years where a player played for more than one team to expand to show the separate stats for each team. This would replace what we have now where if a player played for two teams, the player now has three rows of stats for that one year by default. It’s just really messy at the outset.
For clarity through an example: if you look at Juan Soto’s page, he has three 2022 rows. I wish his 2022 row was defaulted at the combined 2022 stats, but if we wanted to see his 2022 stats per team, that row has the ability to be dropped down/expanded to see the separate 2022 stats.
