I don't like it because I think his ERA is deceptive and makes him appear to be a better pitcher than he actually is. I think if his ERA were 4.50, which I expect it to trend towards because SIERA does tend to predict future ERA (note that it predicts future ERA, not precisely what each plate appearance from here on out will be like), we would probably be unhappy with Davey Johnson putting him in at that point with many fresher options available in the bullpen.

I had no idea Wood was still playing.

Neither did he.

F.P. just cited fangraphs. That's awesome. Nice work, F.P. Few broadcasters would do that.

I didn't read any of this because I don't really care.

He plagiarized that from Chief.

To be fair, I have no real research to back it up, just summarizing what I see. I would be very interested to compare numbers against other teams, though. Just too lazy to compile those numbers

Unfreakingbelievable I swear we get hit by the most pitches I've ever seen.

crap that would have been a run if he was able to get out of the way.

This may all end up being nothing more than a cock tease.

I don't think he was even expecting that to break that far inside.
