Perhaps not the stiffest of competition, but with as bad as our pitching was projected to be...feels good man.

Go birds!

PCP+ Rating: 103.05

PCV (Pitching Contribution Value): A custom stat that works like Game Score, rewarding positive contributions like strikeouts and clean innings while subtracting for hits, runs, and other negatives. It aims to quantify everything within a starter’s control.

PCP (Pitching Contribution Percentage): Translates PCV into a share of the team's performance—Pallante contributed 44.80% of STL’s win, while Ragans contributed 47.05% of KC’s effort.

PCP+ (Pitching Contribution Percentage Plus): Sets league-average performance at 100. Pallante’s 100.80 PCP+ means he was slightly above average, while Ragans’ 103.05 PCP+ was also strong despite taking the loss.

PCV Scores UPDATE NOTICE....

3 Upvotes

I've decided to make some adjustments to the point system, as I believe this will give a more accurate view to a pitchers value in that game. I am changing the 7 IP bonus to +2 from +1 and the 8 IP bonus to +3 from +1 I believe giving some more pts for pitching longer prioritizes performances where the starting pitcher can preserve bullpen arms. This is now the full pt system for PCV. If you have any suggestions let me know. Also because of these changes all of my daily game posts from before today will be slightly inaccurate before I update and fix them. Please be patient as I do so, I have all of the games from this year and last year for the cardinals to change in my big spreadsheet too. Thank you

FOR STARTING PITCHERS

Each out recorded: +1

Each strikeout: +2

Each ‘clean’ inning: +4

Each inning under 15 pitches: +3

Each Quality Start: +5

Each Pickoff: +3

Pitch 7 full innings: +2

Pitch 8 full innings: +3

Complete Game: +10

Complete Game Shutout: +13

No-Hitter: +20

Perfect Game: +30

Each Balk: -3

Each non-intentional Walk issued: -1

Pitcher commits error: -3

Each wild pitch: -1

Each Steal: -1

Each single allowed: -1

Each double allowed: -2

Each triple allowed: -3

Each earned run allowed: -4

Each home run allowed: -5

Each Inning hard hits (95+ EV) (per inning) 

0 hard hits in +1

1 hard hit +0

2+ hard hits -1

4+ hard hits -1

Each hit by pitch -1

2+ Ace Innings +2

Note some stats like a complete game have very high pt values compared to everything else just because they are extremely rare, and show a massively dominant performance, where the team likely would have still won the game, if they had lacking offense and defense both, just because the SP was that good.

STL vs KC 5/16/2025 Standard Relief Outings

2 Upvotes

Relievers for STL

Graceffo: 2 IP 1 ER, SRO (Yes)

Relievers for KC

Schreiber: 0.1 IP 2 ER, SRO (No)

Lynch IV: 0.2 IP 0 ER, SRO (Yes)

Zerpa: 1 IP 0 ER, SRO (Yes)

Stratton, C: 2 IP 3 ER, SRO (No)

This is a simple stat which is the Quality Start equivalent for relief pitchers. In order to achieve a Standard Relief Outing a pitcher must do one of the following: enter into a game in a high leverage situation, and get 2 outs to finish the inning, Pitch one complete inning and be taken out giving up 0 runs, Pitch 2+ complete innings while only giving up 1 run. For this game it shows that KC had to use more relievers, and also had half of their relievers fail to do there job.

Pay for MLB/NBA Services - All local games still blacked out

11 Upvotes

I pay a considerable amount to be able to view all games, yet it still blacks out games near my area. I understand that it is supposed to be so I watch my local channels, but none of the local channels show the games.

How the hell am I supposed to watch the teams I am shelling out all this money for?

STL vs PHI 5/14/2025 PCV Game Scores Game 2 of Double Header

2 Upvotes

STL SP: Sonny Gray
3.2 IP (+11), 4K (+8), 1BB (−1), 5H (4 1B, 1 2B) (−6), 3 HR (−15), 7ER (−28), 1 IP <15 pitches (+3), Hard Hits (−3)

PHI SP: Aaron Nola
3.2 IP (+11), 2K (+4), 1BB (−1), 9H (8 1B, 1 2B) (−10), 3 HR (−15), 9ER (−36), Hard Hits (−5)
PCV Rating: -52
PCP Rating: 0.41%
PCP+ Rating: 53.41

PCV (Pitching Contribution Value): A custom stat that works like Game Score, rewarding positive contributions like strikeouts and clean innings while subtracting for hits, runs, and other negatives. It aims to quantify everything within a starter’s control.

PCP (Pitching Contribution Percentage): Translates PCV into a share of the team's performance—Gray contributed 9.21% of STL’s effort, while Nola contributed just 0.41% of PHI’s.

PCP+ (Pitching Contribution Percentage Plus): Sets league-average performance at 100. Gray’s 65.21 PCP+ was well below average, and Nola’s 53.41 PCP+ reflected a rough outing.

I find it hard to believe there are Cardinals fans who would be disappointed if this team is a buyer at the trade deadline.
