Thanks, that's a ton of useful info.

I didn't see it mentioned, though, in all that info, that we lead the NL in runs scored.

I hope folks feel free to add all kinds of stats to these threads, if I leave something out. There are an infinite number of stats, and I don't try to include them all each time.

I've included overall runs scored in many previous posts, just not this one. Glad you contributed it.

[Reds1]

No new stat here, but it really shows that pitching it the biggest weakness on this team. I do know that we have a crumy record in 1 run games and clutch hits has been an issue. Anyone know the stat of runners on third with less then 2 outs? My guess that's bad, but clearly the injuries and starting pitching has lead to high ERA and a tired bullpen.

I beleive Phillips is 23 for 27, which is about as good as it gets.

I know that we lead the NL in runs scored, though our OPS is 4th, which suggests that we are making good use of walks and hits. In other words, other teams are outhitting us, but scoring less.

I think that the difference in the Reds' runs scored vs. it's percentage hitting stats like OPS may, in part, be the result of playing at GABP. I would be interested in park adjusted stats if folks have them.

One interesting stat is the Reds homers vs. doubles. The Reds are first in homers at home, 13th in doubles at home. This is a wide gap and IMO likely is GABP related. (The gap is much smaller on the road, Reds fourth in homers, seventh in doubles.)

If, due to the make up of GABP, Reds long hits are becoming homers rather than doubles, that could in part indicate why the team scores more runs than the OPS and other percentage stats would indicate.

Of course, GABP is only part of the answer. The Reds have the highest NL OPS with runners on base. They have the second highest NL OPS with men in scoring position, .786. With two outs, however, the Reds have a relatively low OPS with men in scoring position, .632, thirteenth in the league. With the bases loaded, the Reds OPS is .541, second to worst in the league.

So there are a bunch of factors at play here, if anyone has a good analysis of it, I'd be interested.

Very impressive rate there. Speaks to Phillips' ability to battle and give a quality AB.

I doubt that the park would influence runs vs. OPS.

A HR would of course help scoring more than a double, but a HR increases OPS quite bit more too.

OBA is a more important element than SL % in value in OPS, sio if we had a very high OBA and a lower SL % making up our OPS, that would explain it perhaps. But it isn't the case for us.

The impact of a HR on OPS is diluted. The OPS formula, obviously, gives 50 percent weighting to OBP - which does not credit extra base hits at all.

Just looking at the Reds overall numbers, I do believe that the team's ability to hit homers, in part influenced by GABP, is a significant factor in the team's high number of runs scored.

What I don't have handy are ballpark adjusted statistics, I believe EqA is one, which may shed some light on this.

Reds OPS+, which is park/league adjusted, is 4th in the NL.

But a HR gives significant to SL%.

In comapring OPS's, where 50% weight is given to each, it would actually be more valuable to have a higher OBA, as that is better than SL%. I've read that a better stat would be to take 170% of OBA and add SL% to get a truer picture of OPS.

It would make more sense to suggest that a team with a lower OPS scoring more runs is because the OBA is higher (at the expense of SL%) as it's been proven that OBA should actually be weighted higher. But that doesn't explain the Reds, with lots of HR's.
