A comment write by Marty Noble

今天在官方網站看到這篇 Mailbag，Marty Noble 只用幾句話就把今年整個 Mets 的團隊狀況給點出來了：

At this point, the Mets are what their record says they are -- inconsistent in almost every facet of the game. Their bullpen and rotation are like Oliver Perez, able but hardly reliable. The offense comes and goes. The defense is more consistent. Moreover, they tend to play better against the quality teams than against the lesser opponents -- a dangerous sign.

有好的評論就該給予鼓勵，雖然 Marty Noble 在我心目中的地位已經毀了。

去年的這篇文章實在是太過經典了，讓我難以忘懷。

RBIs per 100 at-bats measures run production as ERA -- earned runs per nineinnings -- measures pitching. It's a quite legitimate means of determining whodoes what. I could have written "Schneider has driven in 153 runs in 1,187at-bats in his last three seasons, and Lo Duca has driven in 160 in 1,402at-bats in the same period" and left the math to the readers.
