I like this feature.

One nit: Wang’s game this weekend was at home, not “@ Cleveland.”

I was wondering how often the two batters with the highest WPA in a game both play for the losing team? In the 4/19 game between Oakland and Toronto we saw this event happen. And as far as I can tell, I haven’t found another example of it happening.

There is one other possible explanation (though admittedly it is not likely).

Hillman is attempting to showcase that Dayton Moore had a very large brain cramp with even entertaining the idea of signing Farnsworth, never mind actually pulling the trigger like he did. So “to stick it to the man” he will continue to use his highest paid reliever in high leverage situations.

That’s the conspiracy theory I’m going to go with on this situation.

That’s not what I’m driving at. I’m just awaiting acknowledgment.

Are Dodgers pitchers for real, though? That BABIP seems crazy low.

Then don’t even mention it. “I know something you don’t know!” is something a 4 year old does.

There’s something I desperately want to say but I’m pretty sure I’m not supposed to say anything just yet…

We also learned that, without a shadow of a doubt, Trey Hillman is the stupidest manager in MLB.
