Can Starters Relieve Between Starts? And Some Stat Nerd Talk




Locked On Dodgers – Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Dodgers show

Summary: A listener asked if it's feasible for starting pitchers to use their "throw days" as "available out of the bullpen" days, and Jeff is here with AN answer, if not THE answer. He also talks about what stats are best for evaluating relief pitchers and gives a primer on Wins Above Replacement, including some of the differences between Baseball-Reference's version and FanGraphs' version. And once he's done uploading this episode, Trevor Bauer and Justin Turner will probably both sign contracts. Locked On Dodgers, the daily podcast about the Los Angeles Dodgers with hosts Jeff Snider and Vince Samperio, is part of the Locked On Podcast Network.
