Game 21 WPA: Back to Bacsiks. Nats 2, LAAAT&SF 7

I am not enjoying the 2009 throwback feeling we're getting these last two games. Boo.

Enjoy your table with Mike at the memorabilia show!

What do these graphs mean (this is a link)?

  • Keep the Syracuse apartment: Taylor Jordan (-38.0% pitching, +6.5% hitting) digs a plenty deep hole by giving up 6 R (5ER) over 5 IP... no walks and 5 Ks, but 2 HRs and 8 (eight!!) hits in all. However, he does reach on a sac bunt that turned into a single
  • Rally? UR DOIN IT RONG!! So, the Nats start with a run in, bases loaded, no outs... and Jayson Werth (-7.1%) GDPs in the second run (-11.6%). That's a lot of negative WPA for a run-scoring play.
  • Also not helping: Ian Desmond (-11.0%) is 0-4 with 3 LOB.
  • WPA leader: Sandy Leon (+8.0%) is 1-3 with a double, scoring on a wild pitch (+6.0%).
