Bout time. GFP and I were chomping at the bit to complain about something…I just can’t remember what now…
by supermarioelia on May 22, 2008 8:02 PM EDT 0 recs
So just to highlight the lunacy of looking at Marte’s numbers to date, and the lunacy of SSS:
Marte 2008: 3-26, no extrabase hits, 2BB, 6K
Casey vs. LHP 2008: 4-24, no extrabase hits, 3BB, 5K
Yeah it’s really clear why Blake is the unquestionable choice tonight against Beurhle.
Marte’s 2008 against LHP: 1-3, 2BB, AND A 933 OPS! WOOOO!
Oh Mandy…..

One of you guys who knows how to find and examine BIP #s better than me can check this:
Is it me or has Grady been extremely ‘unlucky’ on balls in play?

Depends on how you look at it.
Overall, he has .288 BABIP for the season, which is pretty normal.
March/April – he was very lucky, with .329 BABIP. In May it has been .217. So recently, he has been unlucky. Good call.

also, his career babip is .331. so his current .290 is really unlucky

From here, his BABIP is .290 this year, which isn’t unusually low.. but his career BABIP is ~.337 or so, so he usually turns balls in play into hits in higher numbers than he has this year.
Despite all of my best intentions, I have not, in fact, grown up to be a debaser.

Wow, didn’t realize Laffey had eclipsed Lee in the ERA chase. Not enough innings, but still unreal.

I would very much like a re-creation of our last 2nd inning with Mark Buerhle right here.

Things that have also turned on Ian Kennedy: ERA, WHIP, DERA, PRC, K/9, and RSAA.

typical casey blake at bat. swings at ball 3 up at his shoulders, takes strike 3 right down the middle.
but i bet he looked great in BP

How come that little crap job fell safe to the earth and Ben Francisco scorches one right at the shortstop. This is just wrong.
