I'd have thought more love for Tucker's GW HR in the hardest spot to hit (pinch-hitting, I mean). Maybe because it wasn't in the ninth but only the eighth?

What did he say? I wasn't in the area in 2001.

Kidding.

I'd rather see Lima than Bannister.

]SLG = .610 (A-Rod), OPS = 1.031 (ARod) Amazingly enough, all of his hits were in non-pressure situations.

Beltran's going to cut it close.

I don't agree with a single line of that post.

Seamheads is a new one to me.

The SS Comp thread reminded me of another difficulty I have with new stats. When is there a siginificant difference between two OPSs? Is .002 a big difference? How about .020? .050? etc.
-
I think the method to the madness is an attempt to find what leads to the most runs scored. Someone on this forum posted what stats most closely correlate to runs scored. I'm pretty sure OPS heads the list. I'm trying to get a handle on them myself, but I am in the dark too as to what an "average" OPS would be, and how closely players are distributed around the mean. It would help if any website anywhere posted the average OPS. I've only seen lists of Top 100 at most.

OBP is basically batting average augmented by walks. It's hits plus walks divided by plate appearances (with plate appearances being all at-bats and walks). So instead of it being number of times a hitter reaches base per at-bat, it's the number of times per plate appearance. SLG is supposed to measure power. A batter gets 1 for every single, 2 for every double, 3 for every triple, and 4 for every homerun. Divide that total by at-bats. So the answer to your question is yes, .690 means 69/100 of a base per at bat. For OPS I usually just add the two together, though there may be a more precise mathematical formula. In any event my OPS has never been more than .001 different than the one given on a website. AFAIK, there's no way in words to describe it in terms of "90% of something".

]The Met stopped listening to Bobby Valentine by 2001, and never took Howe seriously.*sigh*Again?

I'm sure I'll regret asking this, but what on earth does that mean?
-
If three home runs isn't worthy of 6 points, I'm not sure what is.

Reyes 6

Nymr83 wrote: wright's ba/obp since the break are bad but not abnormal for a short term slump and certainly nothing to worry about. delgado's numbers have been putrid since early april, how bout a series off? Short term slump = one month? That's one sixth of the season. It's significant. Delgado and Wright are two seperate issues. Recognizing that Delgado is in a longer slump doesn't mean you ignore Wright's fairly long slump.

I don't believe a single word in that article.

Going Sunday.

Yup, that's what I was going for.

When did Francessa make that claim?

It still shocks me that anyone from the area wouldn't know that. Even before I got into stats and baseball cards, and before I knew anything about the Yankees (beyond that they also played in New York), and was only into the Mets, I knew who Mattingly was. I think that's a good litmus test to prove someone is a bandwagoner. For me a correct answer wouldn't be enough to prove someone isn't a bandwagoner. If that makes sense. Not that I often go around testing Yankee fans. These days I don't care if they are a bandwagoner or an old-timer. They all tend to get on my nerves.

Yup. I would've been a very happy man if we had traded him and gotten back Oswalt. But not for Zito.
