I thought that was a homer for sure

24 pitches, 13 strikes. thanks dude

anoyone know santos' pitch count right now?

D. Lee....always comes through

I believe its a save if the tying run is ever on deck...but i could be wrong

Welcome! While not flawlessly accurate, BRAA(Batting Runs Above Average) and FRAA(Fielding Runs Above Average) do a decent enough job for what you're looking for. In Neifi's career.... Adjusted for Season BRAA: -221 FRAA: 103 Net: -118 Adjusted for All-Time BRAA: -219 FRAA: 94 Net: -125 Thanks for the link and the response! So it look like walkers numbers are: BRAA: 39 FRAA:-54 Net: -15 It seems like Dusty should always have a compelling reason to start Neifi over Walk like a significantly better average against a certain pitcher. Although it is a little troubling to see that Walker's bat does not seem to make up for his glove either...Would the average 2nd baseman have a net of 0 or only the average player?

He is only among the worst hitters in all of major league baseball since 1900. THAT IS BAD. Today he got a bloop single on a ball that was a six inches of the ground and a lucky hop that golden boy Pujols should have stabbed. Neifi sucks, he should never start. Ever. Where did you come up with that stat? Since 1900? This hatred of Perez is just plain silly. * Fewest RCAA since 1900 1 Ski Melillo -355 2 Tommy Thevenow -351 3 Bill Bergen -312 4 Tim Foli -309 5 Larry Bowa -307 6 Alfredo Griffin -306 T7 Don Kessinger -305 T7 Ozzie Guillen -305 9 Neifi Perez -302 10 Ed Brinkman -300 source: Sabermetic Baseball Encyclopedia Definition of RCAA: 1. RCAA (n) a measure of a batter's ability to contribute runs per outs made as compared to the runs contributed by a theoretical average player. Just for kicks, here's the top 10 since 1900: RCAA 1 Barry Bonds 1502 2 Stan Musial 1204 3 Rogers Hornsby 1081 4 Hank Aaron 1039 5 Willie Mays 1008 6 Mel Ott 989 7 Honus Wagner 938 8 Jeff Bagwell 680 9 Joe Morgan 657 10 Eddie Mathews 652 P.S. Not that i expect you to believe this stat at all. In fact, you'll probably just ignore it and then wait for one of us young whippersnappers to make another statement you find outlandish, which you will reply to with a post like this one: "(Insert partial quoted comment here)! Ha! That's outlandish!" In fact, just cut and paste the above line from now on to save yourself time. Is there a sabermetric stat that measures how many runs he saves (our extra outs he makes) over a season compared to the average fielder? Could you post at least his range factor (or some better estimation stat) compared to Walker's or something if you have it? I seriously doubt he saves enough runs over the average fielder to excuse that RCAA...
