I’ll say, the fact Bauer got to 100Ks to finish ahead of DeGrom is gonna go a long way.
Doing what he did on short rest in a must-win game has to account for something, as well.

It’s close. It’s probably like a single earned run lol.
Bauer has given up a single earned run less than deGrom. But in 10 more innings.

So that would make DeGroms Ks more impressive (K/9), likely his K% as well, which makes sense why his FIP is ridiculous and his WAR is also slightly higher. Its splitting hairs, really. I'd love to see Bauer win the award, because I fucking love Bauer. Just think DeGrom was a fraction better this year.
deGrom has about 1 more K per 9.

Any of the stats account for stadium pitching in?

Not sure if FIP does or not.
Here are the park factor rankings for the season. GABP is certainly not a pitchers park. Citi Field is middle of the road.
Giants lost tonight, which gives the Reds a 1/2 game cushion. Milwaukee plays St. Louis, which helps us regardless of who wins.
Meaningful September baseball is fun. I've missed the shit out of this.

I think FIP does. ERA+ does. Fangraphs WAR weights FIP more than ERA, so that would be in there as well I think.
Go Reds!
Do the Reds have any chance whatsoever of keeping Bauer around? Or is he a Dodger in 2021?

He has always maintained when his arbitration was up he was going to do 1-year deals. This allows smaller market teams to sign him without the long-term risk and financial undertaking. But, he’s also maintained the reason for doing so is to maximize his offers/money each year. So, basically depends on if the Reds wanna be the highest bidder.
He's stated recently that he's not opposed to a longer term deal. I'm just hoping he really likes the fit in Cincinnati. He seems to, but money talks.

I’d love it. He seems to be the type who would say “fuck off” to a big market team, but obviously still wants to get paid close to top dollar.
My fear is he's from California, so if the Dodgers or Padres come calling he might be itching to go home.

Yeah my hope is his quirky attitude fits In Cincinnati where the media isn’t critical of everything he does. Would love to be able to keep him on a long term deal or one year deal
Thomb has officially resigned from the Reds broadcast booth.

Bullshit that he wasn’t fired.
So...David Bell?
Am I still a big fucking moron for not thinking he should have been fired whenever SnL went on one of his numerous tirades against me for having a differing opinion? Or am I okay now?
I'm not saying he's manager of the year, so please don't yell at me again.
Reds have anything to play for the next 2 games? Asking for an interested party up I-71.

2nd in the division, I think.
