Series Thread: The Marlins at what's left of the Rangers

How about this offensive explosion?

We actually have scored some runs the last few games but our pitching and defense was lousy.

Hopefully when Dutch gets back he can help us there.

I will be glad to see Holland out there again.

 

[Xx srs bsns xX]

Can honestly say I've never seen that before.....

 

[darrylgann]

That was funny. Elvis wasn't stealing. Atta boy Choo.

 

[Justinkm83]

It's nice to see that stroke from Choo again.

 

[darrylgann]

Leonys was up 3-1 and strikes out?

 

[Justinkm83]

Roog is already showing considerably better plate discipline.

Did you know that Martin is our most valuable player according to WAR.

Leonys was up 3-1 and strikes out?

after swinging at ball 4, yes

 

[romeo212000]

Nice assist Choice.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Darvish struggling this inning.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Needed that.

Did you know that Martin is our most valuable player according to WAR.

Fangraphs has it as Rios (1.6), then Beltre (1.4), then Martin (1.1)

It was Choo (1.0) but his freefall has dropped him to 4th

Chirinos is 5th (.7)

And technically its Darvish (2.5) but I assumed you meant batters

Sidenote: Fangraphs is a big fan of Colby at .8 so far

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Beltre just does not want to walk.

Chirinos is 5th

that seems more reasonable, not sure where ESPN gets WAR from but that's where I saw it. ESPN is probably not the best place to search for WAR. He is a 26 on here I think:

2014 Regular Season MLB Baseball Batting Statistics - AL Players - Major League Baseball - ESPN

That's the real issue on WAR anyway, people don't even agree on how to calculate it.


Looks like they get it from baseball-reference. That site agrees with what ESPN is showing.

Your right about Darvish though- I wasn't counting pitching.

I believe ESPN uses Baseball Reference, but I prefer fangraphs, seems a bit more in depth b/c you can look up all the other statistics to verify alongside it

Good eye by the hitter. Thanks ump.

 

[romeo212000]

Yu may go 9.

 

[jta4437]

Time to pull him, 1st career shutout would be nice but not worth the additional pitches
