Stat of the Week

Yesterday's Recap

Bullpens turn to wreck havoc. Now that we are getting decent starting pitching the bullpen is starting to wear thin and not give the offense a chance. Last night we were down by a few runs and the bullpen comes in and gives up a couple more runs. Then in the ninth we get close yet lose by one. Had the bullpen not given up a cushion would Barmes have it a 2 run homer (which I believe would have won the game)? Girrrrr

Stat of the Week - OPS+
First off OPS is on base percentage plus slugging percentage. OPS+ then is OPS adjusted for the park and the league in which the player played, but not for fielding position. Things of interest is that Todd Helton is Number 9 on the all time list with an OPS of 1.0070.
