    This would be a fantastic game for the Reds to come back and win.

On a player by player basis you can assess how meaningful that actually is, but that's all the number really tells us.
    I used the word "calculated" incorrectly.

    It's calculation is what it is. You really can't calculate it incorrectly as long as you can add and subtract.

    I meant how "xFIP is derived". If pitcher's HR/FB rates differ becuase of different skill sets (as opposed to luck), then there is (in my mind) a flaw in how xFIP is derived.

    It would appear, based on the charting on At Bat, that Halladay is getting his standard on-deck circle to on-deck circle strike zone.

    Yep. The strike three call on Rodriquez was a good six inches off the plate. Not going to comeback with a strike zone like that.

    But if his HR/FB rate is high, that will erase the advantage of being a GB pitcher. Now will carry forward? I don't know.

    can't stop Votto
    “I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
