The Numerical Bible:
This review is not a sabermetrics article, which means no heavy statistical analysis. But because some readers rely on stats, this is only a reference: no reason to articulate the importance of these numbers.
Phillies rotation’s results toward 80 percent: (through May 28)
- Nola: 5 good, 3 so-so and 3 bad out of 11 total for 72.7%
- Arrieta: 8 good, 1 so-so and 2 bad out of 11 total for 81.8%
- Eflin: 7 good, 0 so-so and 4 bad out of 11 total for 63.6%
- Velasquez: 4 good, 0 so-so and 2 bad out of 6 total for 66.7%
- Eickhoff: 3 good, 1 so-so and 3 bad out of 7 total for 57.1%
- Pivetta: 0 good, 3 so-so and 2 bad out of 5 total for 60%
- Irvin: 1 good, 1 so-so and 1 bad out of 3 total for 66.7%
- This tally includes inherited runners that score.
Rule of thumb is 4 good and so-so outings out of every 5 or 80%.
