Plus we haven't exactly lit up the scoreboard.
-
Farrell is running everybody today.
-
5 innings left to avert the sweep.
-
And 2 singles in 4 innings.
-
How many hits will we get today?
-
Yeah, there is some serious randomness going on there.
-
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if our Noffense can turn it around against a guy with a 2.12 ERA. Reverse lock? We can only hope.
-
I'm not arguing with the last statement, but there's a reason that OPS was created and that it's become such a popular benchmark for offensive production. Here's a statistical test/challenge about this: find a team with a low SLG that has been one of the highest scoring teams in spite of that because of their high OBP.
-
He did pretty did good with us too.
-
Our current OPS+ is 97.
-
Wow, that makes the offense look even worse than I thought it was LOL
-
Sorry geo, but your old whipping boy Francona has been universally praised for his managing in Cleveland.
-
Agreed. 'The bats will heat up with the weather' is just another of those comforting little platitudes that don't mean anything.
-
Which has a higher correlation though, OBP or OPS? There has to be some factoring in there of total bases and SLG.
-
Yes, we seem to be screwed for this year at least.
-
An OPS+ of 97 at this point says we are not a good offense and should not be referred to as a good offense. We are a mediocre offense at best.
-
But we have the Outfield Dance!
-
Just speculating of course. But his numbers say something's wrong with him.
-
Is it finally time for Tanaka to have his Tommy John surgery?
-
I think the post you were responding to was in agreement with us that the offense isn't that good, or hasn't been.
-
Not much of a compliment.
-
Yay, Pom only needed 97 pitches to get through 4.
-
Our OPS+ of 98 doesn't give me much conviction that we have a good offense either...
-
Having an OPS+ of 98 does not suggest a good offense. It suggests an average one at the very best.
-
I'm not sure what to attribute it to, but the lack of power is a genuine problem, I think. There's no getting around the fact that while we have a few positive numbers, this is not a good offense. And as a result we have a hideous run differential of +4 after 41 games.
