  1. I didn’t foresee it. But I watched the game he pitched and when you are always dealing with 2 runners on base you’re going to need to be lucky. To his credit he didn’t implode but pitchers with a high WHIP tend to give up a lot of runs. Hopefully he’ll get his act together. He certainly has the talent to do it.
  2. Trout is at 176 Bonds was at 182 but he cheated
  3. I think OPS+ is better because some ballparks are hitters parks and some aren’t. OPS+ corrects for that. For example the parks the A’s play in has a lot of foul territory resulting in more foul ball outs. I think you have to look at all the stats. But no one stat tells you everything.
  4. Career And you’re right! Ruth 206
  5. Show me where I said “he’s not trying”. I said he’s been disappointing the past few starts-which is a fact. Of course he’s trying. He simply was playing with fire by allowing too many baserunners. It’s a figure of speech. Chill.
  6. Trivia: who has the all time highest OPS+ and for extra credit how high was it?
  7. From google: “ OPS+ takes a player's on-base plus slugging percentage and normalizes the number across the entire league. It accounts for external factors like ballparks. It then adjusts so a score of 100 is league average, and 150 is 50 percent better than the league average.” https://www.google.com/search?q=ops%2B&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS1049US1049&oq=ops%2B&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyDAgAEEUYORixAxiABDIMCAEQABgUGIcCGIAEMgcIAhAAGIAEMgcIAxAAGIAEMgcIBBAAGIAEMgcIBRAAGIAEMgcIBhAAGIAEMgcIBxAAGIAEMgcICBAAGIAEMgcICRAAGIAE0gEINjA5NGowajSoAhOwAgHiAwQYASBf&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
  8. Doesn’t it take into account the home park? Maybe that’s a different stat
  9. He’s doing the best he can. But like the past several starts he has been disappointing.
  10. He’s definitely got the talent to be a serviceable #5 Kidding I see him as a good #2 once he gets his act together
  11. We lucked out…or should I say Bello lucked out
  12. Bello has nothing tonight. Jays will be leading after this half inning.
  13. He’s playing with fire and now he got burned
  14. Two more baserunners. Bello won’t escape this unscathed
  15. OPS+ corrects for the ease or difficulty in hitting in your home park I believe.
  16. He’s playing with fire and you know it. Hopefully he’ll settle down
  17. It’s 2-0 on my tv. I’d rather be lucky than good any day
  18. He’s had two runners on in what-3 innings? One or two hits away from a crooked number
  19. Springer Ks on a ball outside Bello can’t keep allowing baserunners
