Episode Notes
Bryce Harper's 2019 WAR shows that he's not very good. But Pesach, Scott, and special guest Moshe Schorr share the surprising WPA reality that when it comes to what actually matters in baseball, Harper is in the same league as Yellich, Bellinger, and Trout. They also analyze the Steroid Era, and discuss whether and why it truly mattered. And is John Means, who has a strange combination of encouraging and discouraging stats, due for regression, or is he becoming one of baseball's better pitchers?
