Fun with numbers 2014

[Guest USAFChief]

Last night Washington had 16 hits, but somehow found a way to go 0-16 with RISP.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Mike Pelfrey has started 5 games. He has pitched 23.2 innings and has struck out 10 batters.

 

Samuel Deduno has started 0 games. He has pitched 18.2 innings and has struck out 18 batters.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Kyle Gibson's swinging strike percentage is 5.5%.

 

Holy moly. I knew it was bad. I didn't expect it to be on the level of a pitching machine.

Drew Butera career line vs. Twins .333/.455/.667

Not fun.

After today's game Pedro Florimon now has a wRC+ of...

 

 

-2

[AlwaysinModeration]

After today, Danny Santana is on pace to be on the roster for 11 games, and on pace for zero starts, and zero plate appearances.

 

But hey, he is taking some practice reps in the OF!

Come on now, knock that off. He couldn't get those types of practice reps in AAA and everyone knows that. When Molly hits me, they are soooo game-like.

Aaron Hicks has an ugly slash line of .178/.315/.260 for an OPS of .575, which is...wait for it...223 points better than Pedro Florimon.

[Craig Arko]

I'm having a tough time seeing the 'fun' parts in here. Maybe a new title is in order.

[snepp]

Florimonzie's triple slash now stands at:

 

[TABLE=class: rgMasterTable]

[TR=class: rgRow grid_total]

[TD=class: grid_line_break, align: right].109[/TD]

[TD=class: grid_line_regular, align: right].186[/TD]

[TD=class: grid_line_regular, align: right].156[/TD]

[/TR]

[/TABLE]

 

wRC+ of negative 5.

 

84 of the 187 batters on Fangraphs qualified leaderboard have a higher OBP than Florie's .342 OPS.

Twins are on pace for...81 wins!

[Craig Arko]

Twins are on pace for...81 wins!

 

Best news since 2010, the Year we didn't Make Contact

[ashbury]

84 of the 187 batters on Fangraphs qualified leaderboard have a higher OBP than Florie's .342 OPS.

 

But that's not a fair comparison because one of those numbers is a composite of... oh wait.

 

Twins are on pace for...81 wins!

 

Some kind of California math? Please, show your work.

[amjgt]

132 of the 186 Qualifying MLB players (71%) have an OPS of at least double Pedro Florimon's (.342)

[amjgt]

The Twins have 4 guys (all qualified) in the top 30 OPS in MLB.

 

Pinto - 16

Colabello - 20

Plouffe - 21

Kubel - 27

 

It's a good thing our pitching has picked up recently because we no longer have anyone in the top 50

Well, the Twins have been .500 nine different times this season, and they usually field nine baseball players in each game, and 9x9=81wins.

[Benchwarmerjim]

Kyle Gibson has one more walk (17) than strikeout (16)

[Guest USAFChief]

Of the nine Twins hitters with the most PAs this season, seven have an OPS+ over 100.

[kdrupp09]

Gibson has an ERA of 3.50, and is in the top 20 in AL in ERA! When is the last time the Twins had a starter towards the top of the league in ERA?

[Craig Arko]

Danny Santana has an OPS of 2.000!*

 

 

* - Found in the Oxford English Dictionary under the definition of "Sample size, small."

[stringer bell]

Gibson has an ERA of 3.50, and is in the top 20 in AL in ERA! When is the last time the Twins had a starter towards the top of the league in ERA?

Gibson, after his third start.

[kdrupp09]

Also, Hughes is in top 40 in AL in ERA, so 2 starters in Top 40 in AL in ERA!

[amjgt]

Also, Hughes is in top 40 in AL in ERA, so 2 starters in Top 40 in AL in ERA!

 

How many are qualified.... 50?

[Benchwarmerjim]

Gibson has an ERA of 3.50, and is in the top 20 in AL in ERA! When is the last time the Twins had a starter towards the top of the league in ERA?

Probably Scott Diamond in 2012

[stringer bell]

How many are qualified.... 50?

I believe it is 51. Number 50 is Nolasco and #51 is Correia.

[ashbury]

Kyle Gibson has one more walk (17) than strikeout (16)

 

Suzuki has an even more favorable ratio of 11/7.

[LaBombo]

Dozier's .814 OPS leads all MLB hitters batting .250 or less. No one else is over .800.

 

He's already a valuable offensive player, but once that .250 BAPIP moves up a bit he could be really special.

[edavis0308]

As of today:

 

Pedro Florimon OPS - 0.342

 

Two players have a higher ISO (isolated power) than that:

Troy Tulowitzki - 0.379

Jose Abreu - 0.354

[Craig Arko]

As of today:

 

Santana no longer an MLB SS virgin.

 

Note that this is more a case of topology than statistics.
