(What do these graphs mean?)

  • Dude, CONTRACT YEAR!! Jordan Zimmermann (-20.4%) couldn't give a rip about his future earnings, walking 4 and fanning 3 over 6.1 IP, giving up 4 runs (2 earned).
  • Dude! Contract year! Ian Desmond (+7.7%) has defensive miscues that cost two runs, which his 3-5 night doesn't outweigh.
  • Useful: Jose Lobaton (+6.7%) drives in a run to tie it in the 4th (+18.0%).
  • Not raging: Bryce Harper (+20.3%) is 2-3 with a walk and a loooooong HR to dead center to tie the game in the 5th (+17.4%).
  • Not useful: Ryan Zimmerman (-14.5%) is 0-4 with 4 LOB.
