There comes a point where your hitting, no matter how good, is irrelevant.

Dan Uggla has reached that point.

Serious suggestion for future games.

Starting position players can reenter in their original lineup spots once the game goes into extras.

Uggla vs. the Umps

Here’s my count (WPA stats from The Book)

Umpires
Guillen out at home/foul ball: .835-.539 = Correct Call .296 WPA to AL
Ian Kinsler SB/CS: .817.588 = Correct Call +.229 WPA to AL
Navarro safe at home/out: 1-.645 = Correct Call +.355 WPA to AL
Pujols 1B/2B: .549-.480 = Correct Call -.069 to AL = Correct calls: +.219 to AL

Uggla
.573 Batting
1St Error (Young): .722.588 = Uggla gives AL .134 WPA
2nd Error (Quentin): .938-(.539 for DP, .644 if not) Uggla .399 /.294
3rd ~Error (Drew): .644-.539 = Uggla +.105 WPA
Uggla WPA: -1.211 / 1.106 !!!!!

Really?

It looked like the tag was late to me. Martin was setup way back of the plate from my view.

by Trev on Jul 15, 2008 10:15 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

looks like I left out a minus sigh

It should be Correct call -.296 to AL for the Guillen out at home/foul ball.
