Bob, interesting that you think Sosa is somehow responsible for the fact that he was not involved in any run scoring rallies. Your stat looks to be a real winner.

He isn't responsible. The stat takes that into account, its just that if youre involved in 0 your RPP will always be 0. If Sosa were too be involved in just 1 rally his RPP would go up way faster than Wright's does everytime Wright is involved in a run rally. RPP of middle of the lineup hitters goes down faster when they dont produce.

I'm not going to bother to explain to you how drastically luck will be the main decider in how this stat plays out over the year. Players can't control what the players around them do. Also, you reward players for being at the bottom of the lineup? So you would have said David Wright was more valuable when Willy retardedly bat him 7th and he was 'in rallies' than he is now, simply by virtue of batting 7th(where he got less at bats, also)? Rethink things bob.

El Duque looking good all over tonight. Fun game to watch tonight so far.

[Needle77]

Love for Paul Lo Duca to break this game open right here.

[Needle77]

Err, they INT walk Lo Duca for Millege, now he can open it up.

BTW, Shawn Green bunts with 1st and 2nd 0 out...no idea why Willie had him to do that.

is it me, or does it seem like today every one on the mets seemed pretty good at working the count and making the padres throw some pitches...except for reyes

[BobOjedaFan]

James if someone has a high RPP in the bottom of the lineup its an indication he should be moved to the top or middle, duh. Anyway ive given up on RPP because its too hard to calculate.

Ron Darling said that HoJo was out working with the guys to do this specifically before the game. Maybe having HoJo work with the team is +ev

whoa, i really thought duque was going to implode this year and thought that a contract to him was a huge mistake, nice to see i was way off there...

delgado picking it up...
