Stupid SABR question
So I have a friend who is a pro (Andres Torres of the Giants). He isn’t comfortable hitting lefty and his lefty numbers show it. In contrast, his RHB vs. LHP OPS is 1.16. How can I find out what all 4 of his OPS numbers are and not just his splits?
I'm not sure what you mean by "all 4"?
"In 2035, 25 young men will be able to call themselves world champions. Some of those guys haven’t even been born yet. And some of them are Asian." -Mike Shannon
oooohhh...
I don;t know where to get the info direct, but you could probably take this info and do the hand math against his overall stats.
"In 2035, 25 young men will be able to call themselves world champions. Some of those guys haven’t even been born yet. And some of them are Asian." -Mike Shannon
wait, those splits can;t possibly be right
unless he’s never faces an equally handed pitcher this yea. Lord, I’m confused now.
"In 2035, 25 young men will be able to call themselves world champions. Some of those guys haven’t even been born yet. And some of them are Asian." -Mike Shannon
why would he hit
rhb vs. rhp or lhb vs. lhp? doesn’t that nullify the whole “switch-hitting” thing?
i did notice his ops+ is 132 points higher when batting right handed. wow.
BABIP, though
"In 2035, 25 young men will be able to call themselves world champions. Some of those guys haven’t even been born yet. And some of them are Asian." -Mike Shannon
We have talked about how he's never totally comfortable hitting LH
I think he should ditch the switch thing, at least for now, and just go all righty.

baseball movie night at Viva EL Bar! we’ll do it at night during the warmer months. and maybe even in october/november. we’ll have a giant screen out behind the joint & everyone can bring sleeping bags or bean bag chairs or whatever comfortable thing they want to sit on during the movie. we’ll have half prices on drafts & appetizers before intermission. and we’ll serve smores & rum toddies after.

What am I missing?
With the Cubs loss, the Cardinals clinched the division today. They have the tiebreak over the Cubs due to head-to-head records, and the best the Cubs can do is tie.

If it comes down to a tie
There would be a one-game playoff for the division title, unless the tie is between a division winner and the wild card winner (a la 2001)

Wow, that escalated quickly.
I think the best part about the main character is that he’s so…pompously right. It’s great.

I imagine this was mentioned
but the latest Elias ranking have Derosa as a type A as of today.
"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."
