Rua looks like he might be a stud as well, really liking some of the Rangers young talent. They're not sticks like Profar either.

Trout is having an off year by his standards but is turning into a power hitter. I can only imagine if they both played in a band box.
Dude
Is the extra WAR coming solely from Runs or is Trout just that good in center?

Wouldn't have thought defense weighed that heavily on WAR but I looked up Matt Kemp the other day as he is having a fairly decent bounce back season and he is somehow worth negative WAR this season. He must have been horrendous in center to start the season.

Look at the columns next to WAR. The advantage is completely from offense. Defense is about even. Surprising - has Trout been that meh on defense this year? He's been playing CF mostly, right?
But those lines are remarkably similar. K%, ISO, BABIP, BA, and wOBA are essentially identical.
Yup, it's funny how the numbers add up when you get this late into the season and you have all this inertia. I'm guessing it's the roto fantasy problem where you just can't quite get out of the hole you've dug yourself into in relation to the league as a whole.
It seems like there's some deeper math that's hidden in there somewhere. You'd think the higher OBP would be good enough to make them about equal instead of a win different. I might have to put in a question on behalf of GAF for the BP podcast's email show because that's kind of a big difference.

Yeah Trouts numbers are kind of bizarre really, he went from having 49 SB for the 2012 season to 33 in 2013 and 14 this year. Have his stolen base attempts dropped that much?
That's something I would expect out of a player in his late 20's or early 30's, not someone who's only 22 years old.

The batting lines are very close. The difference is in the baserunning. And yes, it accounts for more than just stolen bases (taking the extra base, not making outs on the basepaths, etc)
Actually, it's probably not all because of baserunning. He's only ~4 runs better on the basepaths so that's less than half a sabermetric win. The rest must be from park/league adjustment?

Padres is on revenge mode...gonna ruin us from getting to the playoffs.
While this post is hyperbolic, I do hope you fuck around and Pirates can take the home field for that game and that PNC park is as electric as last year vs. Reds because that was fucking magical

Don't worry at this rate you'll be facing the brewers in that game.
Would be interesting to see a stat to see how often a team has blown a 5.5 game lead with 9 to go in the history of the game.(or 5 whatever the lead is between you and the brewers)

Man, these fox broadcasters on the Tigers/Royals suck. To them, this is just a Tigers game, like an old school WWF match where the star is having a match against some scrub, and they're really just looking forward to Wrestlemania.
Edit: hot damn! Thank you again, Tigers defense!

Oh no... Damn it Perez, why didn't you tag up? Hey broadcasters, stfu about it, we're in the age of text messages and communication, if you make a big deal about it, it WILL affect the game.
Duane Cunningham

Is this even reviewable? Also, they didn't tag the base, so is he out? And piss off, Tigers outfield, for walking off the field while it's still being discussed you cocky bastards.

Stupid mistake by Perez, but according to the guys on the radio reading from the rule book, that's not a play that can be overturned. Oh, and no appeal. The umps fucked this up.

Made everyone believe there were only two outs.
