Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

Game 80: All this AND 5 errors

20110628_nationals_angels_0_2011062904238_lbig__medium

via www.fangraphs.com

  • Bad pitching: Jason Marquis (-31.6%) gives up 4 R in 5 IP with 4 walks and 5 Ks.  Collin Balester (-44.8%) gets only one out while blowing a one-run lead.
  • Rally killing: Wilson Ramos (-24.8%) GDPs to end the inning with the bases loaded when the Nats were only down by 1 (-28.9%).  Michael Morse (-14.5%) GDPs with runners on the corners to waste an early chance to pad a one-run lead (-10.3%).
  • Heroes: Laynce Nix (+30.7%) is 4-4 with a HR. Roger Bernadina (+18.3%) has a two-run ROE to (briefly) put the Nats ahead (+26.9%). Matt Stairs (+14.9%--yes, Matt Stairs) is 2-4 with a game-tying RBI (+17.7%).

Doesn't have to be a good play to rack up the WPA...

…just has to be at the right time.

This fangraph looks like a stock chart...

Wish I woulda bought some Angels in the sixth inning just before the Bernadina error.

I think you're reading the chart wrong

The “Roger Bernadina error” was the play where Roger Bernadina REACHED on an error. That was when the two runners scored to give the Nats the lead. Now, if you had bought some Angels stock just AFTER that error, then you’d be a much richer man right about now.

Seriously?

I don’t give a flying F*** what the heck Bernadina Error meant. Do you think I was really going to buy imaginary stock?

Relax

I was just trying to helpfully point out for those not familiar with these graphs that sometimes the labels are misleading and/or confusing. Ordinarily, if I saw “Roger Bernadina Error”, I would assume that meant that Bernadina made an error, not reached on an error.
