Performance in non-save situations

By Tangotiger, 09:13 AM

Geoff gives us the lowdown on one of our generations best relievers. I responded at ballhype:

B-r.com now has splits by save and non-save situations:
http://www.baseball-reference.com/pi/psplit.cgi?n1=hoffmtr01&year=0&lg=&team=#outco-outco
Three things jumped out:
1. lots of IBB in non-save situations
2. much higher BABIP in non-save situations
3. alot more multi-inning games in non-save situations

"Think of this place as something like a college classroom. We’re in charge, we pick the topics, we set the rules, and we try to foster as much intelligent discourse as possible. If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we're not going to be for everybody, and we're not going to try to appeal to the masses." —USSM
