If you had a DB

You could do something. Maybe take running x-game wOBA averages, where X = a few games. Compare the variance to other teams in the league. It could be interesting. Why doesn’t tango get on it, it would probably be a quick thing for him.

Beimel

has really stunk it up giving up 2 homers to lefties. Tracy has started his micro managing
that he is famous for.

by DieHardRox on Sep 3, 2009 3:52 PM MDT reply actions  

We're losing

we were losing when Beimel came in. He needs work or he’s gonna be even lousier.

This is hardly micro-managing, this is “we’re losing and I have 34 pitchers on my roster. Time to get them some work.”

Then baseball isn't the right sport to follow

Because in a 100 win season, you’ll be sour 16% of the year.
In past Rockies seasons, you’d be sour for almost 25% of the year.
