Around SBN: Strikeforce: Cormier vs. Barnett Fight Video Highlights

Come Get Your Stats


Your Cleveland Indians:

The Good:

#1 in Pitcher Ground Ball to Fly Ball Ratio (1.00 GB/FB)

The Bad:

#14 in Pitcher Strike Out % (13.4 SO%)

#14 in Pitcher Base-on-Balls % (11.3 BB%)
I think you can all figure out where we are ranked in strike out to base-on-balls ratio.



The Better Than Last Year:

#8 (and very close to League Avg.) in Total Zone Runs Above Average (1.7 Rtot).

Some More Good:

#4 in Batter Base-on-Balls % (10.3%)

Some more Yuck:

#13 in Batter Home Run % (1.4%).... Only the Milton Bradely Apologists are worse.

#13 in Batter Strike Out % (21.0%).

So in summation....I got nothing. Maybe our groundballer staff can't strike out guys, but what if they at least focused on not walking batters? The hitting is definetly set up to work the count, but are we simply unlucky with our Balls-In-Play, or is it a lack of punch? (Linedrive % is around 20% so there's that.)

We stink and everyone knows it (this is my confirmation bias for the day). I will not bother to look at the stats because it will probably cause me a headache and a sudden case of depression.

You may already be suffering from depression and not realize it.

Are all these out of just the AL or MLB?

Almost certainly AL. 14 out of 30 is hardly relevant as a “yuck” – more of “tremendously mediocre.” Which would be an improvement.

AL all the way. See the Milton reference.

Good point, shouldn’t have missed that.

The American League of course, We wouldn’t include AAA leagues would we?
