Carp homers for Yankees

[Froggy Style]

It is the number of times you come to bat divided by the number of times you get on base safely (walk, hit, hbp, dropped 3rd strike, fielder's choice) Raw numbers.

I don't think fielder's choice or dropping a 3rd strike is part of the calc as it counts as an out in your batting average, and your OBP.

On Base % is mainly saying, you don't have to hit great, if you get a ton of walks too it shows you have value as you get on base a bunch. However, if you are just walking a ton, that's just like a singles hitter. By itself, slugging % can be less telling of a story too, so they came up with OPS to say...do you hit for power AND get a base a bunch? Best way to tell the whole story of how you are doing as a hitter.

Ever since he had that back injury that kept him out a long while he’s not been the same player. Must be frustrating for him. Not sure why they won’t play Anduhar instead.

Paying him $10 million a year. Cashman doesnt want to admit he scheissed this up.

Pitcher didn’t even look at it…he knew that sucker was gone.

You are correct, from MLB website

On-base Percentage (OBP)​

Definition​

OBP refers to how frequently a batter reaches base per plate appearance. Times on base include hits, walks and hit-by-pitches, but do not include errors, times reached on a fielder's choice or a dropped third strike. (Separately, sacrifice bunts are removed from the equation entirely, because it is rarely a hitter's decision to sacrifice himself, but rather a manager's choice as part of an in-game strategy.)

Gotta say the Brits are our comrades in so many ways. I did find some great places for food too but great pubs and fun times. I even found a place in the Cotswolds where some of the patrons knew about our Rose Bowl win. Blimey!!!

My favorite parts of England were traveling from Lyme Regis up through the Cotswolds, Bath to Cheltenham. Absolutely beautiful! All the Devon Clotted Cream I could get...

Has anyone asked Rangers management why they cut Carp? What it was that told them the guy was washed up and not worth keeping around?

It’s the Rangers. Kinda says it all…

Pitcher didn’t even look at it…he knew that sucker was gone.

Jose Cruz Jr. crushed a HR over my head in LF in HS. I didn't even turn my head...

 

[An-Cap Frog]

Carp is becoming the hero for the NRO crowd...

 

[Peacefrog]

Because both the Yankees and the Cowboys are evil empires, I’m leaving this here:



And also because I don’t know where else to leave it. So deal.

He didn't fit with the long term goals of the organization. I don't agree with a lot of what the Rangers front office does, but I don't fault them for this one. They decided to go with Ezequiel Duran at 3rd Base instead of Carp which you can't really fault the Rangers for. The Rangers also aren't in "win now" mode like the Yankees are to where it makes sense to overpay for aging veterans to get playing time over up and comers.

The Yankees have all the money they need to do whatever it is they want. The Rangers are evidently not burdened with such problems...

Does anybody know if Carp got a hit today??

[Ron Swanson]

Figured as much

 

[BrewingFrog]

No Yankees got a hit yesterday. That doesn't happen often...

 

[froginmn]

No Yankees got a hit yesterday. That doesn't happen often...

Happened for the first six innings today as well.

great series and amazingly not one game was telecast by one of the major networks.

feels as if the astros missed a great chance as their 4 starters give up 5 runs in 27 innings and their bullpen blows two late leads to get the split. 6 games in 6 days was a grind and their bullpen was shot by the end of today's game

as i said, great baseball in the 4 games and great job by mlb and making sure america got to see it
