    Go down to the count/ball-strikes section and check the sOPS+. It's basically his OPS+ for that split. Now Neck's OPS is only 713 with 2 strikes but the leagues number is 525.

    If we were more adept at analytics, we'd make him take 2 strikes every PA

    ahhh that makes a lot of sense. i was wondering how his wRC+ could be that high with his average being .250 on the year...forgetting it's against the rest of the league's hitters.

    That's number is his tOPS+ which is relative to his career OPS. With 2 strikes that's usually always going to be below 100 for a player. Doesn't seem there is a number compared to everyone else for those type of career splits.

    I smell something funny with that stat. Seems it is likely his OPS+ when he makes contact with 2 strikes. Or is that saying he is 72% better than the rest of MLB when they have 2 strikes?

    His actual OPS through 2 strike counts:

    3-2 (40 PAs): 1.327
    2-2 (66 PAs): .786
    1-2 (69 PAs): .531
    0-2 (56 PAs): .651

    I strongly suspect someone is trying to make Markakis look better with 2 strikes than he actually is by hacking the meaning of numbers for a cool graphic.

    Yeah. When you are a solid contact guy that doesn't strike out much you are going to do very well in this area when strikeouts league wide are at an all-time high.

    Yeah he is 72% better with 2 strikes this year. Neck's OPS entering today with 2 strikes was 713. The league has a 525 OPS with 2 strikes. Number checks out to me.

    With as worn out as the bullpen is, let Julio start the 7th.

    Indeed. Just had to make sure I understand exactly what we are talking about when we say "Markakis is a good hitter with 2 strikes".
