We may have the greatest closer in the history of this game.

Well, given that he most often pitches one inning per game, that would mean he puts a runner on in like 85% of his appearances, right? That's not far off from almost always.

That is assuming he only lets one every time in those times.

Britton almost ALWAYS PUTS RUNNERS ON.

Then it's pretty impressive that he has somehow managed to have a 0.815 WHIP.

So that would be a runner on what 70 or 75 percent of the time?

No.

If Britton's WHIP was exactly 1, that would mean that he puts a baserunner on 25% of the time.

It's less than 1 (0.799), so it's less than 25% of the time.

And if you are referring to appearances, he has allowed base-runners in 21 out of his 54 appearances, which is 38.8% of the time.

Opponents are batting .142. off of Britton, with a .213 OBP.

It's really 24 out of 54. A walk or hit 23 times and once on a strikeout.

Was about 20 minutes behind so I watched it on delay on the DVR. Just finishing the game. Has anyone else noticed how much Daniel Murphy resembles Luke Scott? It's almost uncanny at certain angles.

Why does Kim throw the ball in when there are 3 outs? It only gives the opposing third base coach a look at how awkward and not good his arm is. Plus he just looks dumb. They need to pull him aside and tell him to stop.

You didn't notice? Every OF 3rd out they all throw the ball to Adam. Every time. Even Schoop or Hardy if they go out. Every 3rd out goes to Adam.

HAA! My arrival from taking the wife out to dinner was pretty good.

Karma dude.
