Rox Talk

A 3-4 week against the Cards and San Diego. Could have been worst or could have been better (the team just isn't coming together, too many parts). Could have gained ground against the division leaders but we couldn't seem to beat the worst team in baseball (that would be the Padres). Give credit to Maddux for winning 350 but rookie Reynolds couldn't get it done on Mother's Day. I thought it was a bit early to be bringing up the pitcher of tomorrow but who am I to say? The Roxs currently stand at 15-23. Eight games back from division leading D-backs. Currently 7-10 at home and 8-13 on the road, the Roxs have been outscored by its opponents 164-198 (expected wins is 16 versus historical wins at 18). On pace for 64 wins with 699 runs scored and 793 runs against. Roxs graphical wins (home in Purple, away in grey).


Weekly WPA leaders (overall as well):

Ianetta was the big gainer of the week as well as Barmes. Couple of interesting stats discovered this week. In the Rockies games, for wins the team ERA is 2.59 and in losses it is 9.40 with 26 vs 43 walks in these same decisions. Wow when the pitching stinks it really stinks. Also another interesting stat is that with zero outs opposing teams have a 0.322 OBP with a OPS of 0.759 but with two outs the OBP increases to 0.384 and OPS increases to 0.825. That is crazy...it would appear we can't close the deal...
