Originally posted by BigGameFish View PostSports is not all about numbers. I'm very aware of the win-probability per out, hit, etc, and there is obvious use for such things. But there are things that numbers cannot possibly quantify. I used to be in the camp that you're all in, and I still am to a certain extent. But as of late I'm tending to lean back somewhat to the position that some of these statistics are misleading because much of sports is mental and personal (as is much of human life). But that's just one dude's opinion. Everyone has their own. Maybe I'm wrong.

edit: forgot Gaby.

Bee tee dubs
Two pitchers and Gaby Sanchez are the only Marlins who have swung at more pitches outside of the zone than Greg Dobbs. Only Bonifacio, Kearns, Hayes and Buck make contact with a lower percentage of their swings than Dobbs. Only Stanton and Hayes make less contact with pitches in the zone.
There is zero evidence that Greg Dobbs is what you think he is.
You are projecting what you want to see on him because he's old and crappy and fills the "veteran know-how guy" role on the team.poop

Originally posted by BigGameFish View PostRuns win games. But maybe you buy yourself a run late by knocking out an ace early. That's all I'm saying.
An out is never more valuable than a single. Never.
