This Award Snub Is OUTRAGEOUS...

This is outrageous as the Gold Glove nominations have dropped and players you expected to get the nod got the nod, but some players that you also expected to get the nod did not get the nod of a nomination. Who am I talking about? Did they deserve it? Did they not deserve it? How outraged should we be? Let's talk about it. Hi, welcome back to another episode of Padres Digest with your host, Andrew. Today we are talking Gold Glove stuff. The nominations just got dropped. You might have seen it. You might have not saw it. We have some players who are nominated, but I don't think it's enough. We'll talk about it. Hi, welcome back. I already said that. No. Hi, welcome back. Please subscribe. Follow us. Instagram, Facebook, Padres Digest. Yeah, that stuff. Okay, let's just jump directly into it. So Padres, Ty France and Freddie Fermin are named the Gold Glove finalist for the Padres. Now, that's great. That's cool. But I feel like we're missing some names. We'll get into it. Right. But these votes compromise 75 percent of the selection total with the Sabre Defensive Index counting for the other 25. These votes, as in the managers and coaches. I don't know why I left that part off. but managers and coaches comprise 75 the rest being the Sabre Defensive Index so a lot of stats are used we'll get into each one but firstly this is only the first round right only one round of balloting which was already done so there's no take backs i guess you can call it uh and of course France does lead MLB with 15 defensive runs saved so he of course does deserve it right so a Gold Glove overview of everybody so you'll see some names added on there that you might have expected Ty France Freddie Fermin finalist but no Machado, no Jackson Merrill, no Tatis eight fielding run value, 12 fielding run value three fielding run value uh huh huh hello excuse me so Tatis, Machado and Merrill of course have been left off the Gold Glove finalist list is that a massive snub well Manny Machado is not one of the three that was kind of weird because you know he's had a pretty good defensive year uh the how the voters overlooked him remains unclear so let's talk about the stats right because i'm going to say a lot of stats today i want to make sure you are clued in onto what's what so DRS is defensive runs saved those are runs saved or cost versus an average fielder at the position zero is average FRV fielding run value that is range arm catcher work and first base receiving in runs zero is average that's from Baseball Savant OAA is about outs above average that's from Baseball Savant as well range only outs made versus an average fielder harder plays are worth more Saber Defensive Index SDI about 25% of the Gold Glove like we said managers and coaches cast the other 75% that's just a defensive index that they made and then dWAR is defensive WAR from Baseball Reference fielding runs plus a position position adjustment about 10 runs equals one win so keep that in mind screenshot it whatever you want to do right so did they deserve a nomination so we kind of mentioned some stuff already uh but the Machado ranks first in fielding run value and out above average plus 8 plus 12 wasn't nominated uh but his negative three DRS and negative one or negative point one defensive war leaves something to be desired but neither seems like enough to really leave him off and he only had three errors compared to Max Muncy's 15 and Sonohara's 11 so let's take a look at those numbers right so the FRV the range the errors DRS we all saw that right Matt Chapman who also is a pretty good fielder was also left off and he had 15 DRS and 11.9 SDI uh but less FRV range and errors than Machado so who got in Bregman I'm okay with right Bregman's a good glover a good glover good fielder Max Muncy Max Muncy zero fielding run value negative one range 15 errors and no DRS to speak of I don't even know where he was uh the website was down low key so I couldn't find it but uh SDI 4.8 cool defensive war 0.5 cool not outstandingly much better than Machado and then Sonohara fine I guess 11 errors though I don't love that but 2.6 SDI 4.8 for Muncy though is kind of insane I don't know what they were smoking uh but I kind of want some of it right uh 12 OAA is first among third baseman Machado but not even nominated like if Bregman or Sora wins fine but not even nominated and if Muncy wins the Gold Glove I swear to god him crashing out I don't know I don't know y'all but you know Tatis and Merrill are another example of a possible snub right PCA is gonna win fine I'll accept it PCA is very good he could go platinum this year and Andy Pajez cool fine Dustin Harris cool fine but is Merrill a lot more of a snub I mean you have 12 FRV five range six arm 3.6 SDI 0.6 defensive WAR uh the FRV 12 is tied with Harris among third for NL center fielders more innings than Harris and Pajez 11 assists three errors DRS plus two OAA plus four as of September 8th it's a little outdated but you know they didn't update it uh so I think this one's more okay because P. Crow or Armstrong is obviously going to win so even if he was nominated Merrill was uh he's not going to win but I thought like he had a very good year I guess just not good enough and let's be honest as long as PCA is playing the way he does he's probably not going to win any awards uh but Tatis on the other hand he's a whole different statement right Tatis got left off now he didn't play as much as some of the other outfielders because he also split time at second base I have that on the bottom so 930 innings and then 413 innings at second or 930 in right field so maybe that's possibly why but his fielding run value was three range was two arm was one DRS was 2.7 on SDI uh but then you got Seiya Suzuki who had a good year defensively but only 973 innings but eight FRV which is obviously really good range was four arm was four DRS of 14 and then a 6.8 SDI okay that makes sense right and then the guy who's probably gonna win it i feel like Corbin Carroll four FRV nine range negative six arm not a great arm but it's not the worst thing in the world 12 DRS and 10.9 SDI okay and then Cody Bellinger i think his name's Cody Bellinger i forget yell at me if i'm wrong uh with six FRV negative one seven six point zero seven i i think i like Tati's more than benji on this benji how you say his name benji benji uh but i i do think they're gonna give it to Carroll uh but i i even not to nominate Tati so just a little weird to me right not even a utility no i felt like he could have at least got a utility one unfortunately i can't really get utility stats i don't know how they i mean i i get i guess i get how they calculate it but it's not really something i can look up off the top of my head uh it's just weird that he's a two-time platinum gold uh platinum winner two-time gold glove winner and you're not even gonna nominate him but yeah fifth amongst NL right fielders and FRV okay at second base negative four defensive runs fine whatever utility finalists though are Mauricio Dubon, Jared Triolo and Yaimar, Yaimar Vargas I think, or Miguel Vargas, one of the Vargas one of the Vargas people uh so it's not as bad as a snub I don't think Mero or Tati is as bad as a snub as Machado below Muncie but I still think at least a nod could have been nice you know what I mean so I guess we'll go back to uh Ty France and Freddie Fermin who do deserve their Gold Glove nods right Ty France obviously one of the best defensive infielders in the entire league not just first baseman but I think first infielders in general only three errors and 951 chances at first uh so of course he's going to be really good right 10 FRV five range three first base receptions receiving something like that whatever I just showed you and I already forgot uh 15 DRS so very good 6.3 SDI 0.9 DWAR and you got Olson and Rumfield you can look at the numbers but Olson's really good honestly I could see him winning it but I I feel like Ty France should hopefully have it uh but we'll see right and then Freddie Fermin also pretty good right Fermin threw out a nice 30.4 percent of would-be base stealers which I feel like is low I don't know I feel like Freddie Fermin wasn't great at throwing out people this year but you know I guess he was I mean you have uh uh Rodolfo Duran with his absolute cannon but he didn't play that much Luis Campusano had some pretty clutch outs but i mean you can't argue Freddie Fermin while his bat is not the best he's a he's a very good defender right so his well-rounded defensive excellence this past season is what got him that nod and i can take you i can give you a nice little look at that you got Freddie Fermin nine three four two eight f 5.6 uh luis torrens former padre 10 5 3 1 8.8 and then gabby moreno 7 5 2 1 7.2 i think they're gonna give it to luis torrens mostly because his numbers look better uh but he's still good right 10 blocks above average uh which savant what savant says and it's more than moreno and torrens who both have half of that frv he's eighth among mlb catchers and SDI fifth among NL catchers behind Torrens and Moreno so I don't think Fermin will win it to be honest but if he does right so I've given you the numbers so I want to know your guys's opinions do you think Machado Merrill and Tatis were snubbed all of them only one or two of them or none of them they all deserve to not be nominated and do you think that uh France and Fermin are gonna win you let me know how you guys feel a lot of numbers today so sorry but you know me i love numbers so let me let me know your guys's thoughts and as always thank you
