A LOOK BACK AT THE 1st HALF
Red is troublesome
Yellow is potentially troublesome
Green is happy numbers
Blue is extremely good to ecstatic numbers
- 25 homers by the RF platoon
- Juan Barranco wasn't a fluke
- My catching is atrocious and needs a change
- All three of my '3B' have unsustainable BABIP
- Hayashi's BABIP indicates some insanely bad luck
- Happy with my overall RNG factors but my corners ZR is repulsive in the IF
- Luis Figueroa 18 HBP??? That's something that needs to change
Same color code
- I think it's hilarious my ENTIRE rotation is 'hot'
- Blue around GS is there because my theory is that the team that gets the most starts and IP from its opening day 5 has as good if not the best chance of winning the division
- Chase, Ramirez a combined 17-3. Chase leads the game in wins
- Chase H/9 is outstanding but that .218 BABIP is not sustainable
- Noriega and Turner are issues. Noriega's numbers weren't done here, but Turners are, and they need addressing
- 5 of the 12 pitchers with an exceptional WHIP
- Turner HR/9 is horrific
- Far far too many walks by the entire staff. I've always believed 5-1 by a stud is Koufax material. 3-1 is the 'floor' for me.I have exactly 4 guys at 3-1 or better.2 starters with 1-1 ratios.
- Grab has done an outstanding job in the middle, quite unnoticed.
