10 Numbers for the ALDS: Rays vs. Rangers
By Alex Remington
As the start of the postseason approaches, Big League Stew's Alex Remington
will take a look at the statistics that might make a difference in each
series. First up is the first-round rematch between the Tampa Bay Rays and
Texas Rangers, which begins today.
隨著季後賽來臨，大聯盟燉菜的Alex Remington將會看看各系列賽有差異性的數據
。首先來看看光芒跟條子
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1 The average number of homers per nine innings given up by Rangers
pitching, tied for second-most in the American League. The Rays are hardly
the most homer-happy team in the playoffs, with just 172 homers as a team,
compared to 210 for the Rangers (and 222 for the Yankees), but the Rangers
can't afford their pitchers to give up too many Dan Johnson(notes) moments.
條子投手每九局送出1.1發全壘打，並列美聯第二多。但在季後賽中，光芒不算是快
樂打砲隊(季賽全部172發，跟基基222發、條子的210發比起來)，但條子投手恐怕也
承擔不起太多Dan Johnson那種時刻。
61 percent The quality start percentage for both the Rays and the Rangers,
tied for the third-best in baseball, behind only the Phillies and Giants.
光芒跟條子的先發投手有61%的優質先發機率，在全聯盟並列第三棒，僅次於費城跟
巨人。
6.1 The number of at-bats per strikeout for the Rangers, making them the
hardest team to strike out in all of baseball. That's all the more impressive
considering that they had the second-most homers in all of baseball: you
don't often see a team loaded with high-contact sluggers. Despite all those
longballs the Rangers only had one hitter in their lineup with more than 100
strikeouts. By comparison with the other playoff teams, the Brewers had four
such hitters; the Yankees, Diamondbacks, Tigers, and Rays had three; the
Phillies had two. The Cardinals actually had none.
條子每6.1打數才被三振1次，也是全聯盟最難三振的隊伍。更讓人印象深刻的是他們
還是全聯盟第二多全壘打數量的球隊，你通常見不到一支球隊裡有一堆高命中率的長
打者，除了這些長打外，條子打線只有一個打者的三振數超過 100次。跟其他進入季
後賽的球隊比較，酒鬼有四個這樣的打者，基基、小蛇、老虎、光芒有三位，費城有
兩個，紅鳥居然連一個三振數破百的打者都沒有。
$42 million The Tampa Bay Rays' payroll, second-lowest in baseball, less than
half of what the $92 million Rangers cost, and about one-fifth the size of
the Yankees' approximately $200 million payroll. The Rays' highest-paid
player on the roster is Johnny Damon(notes), signed to a one-year, $5.25
million contract.
光芒只有$4200萬的薪資總額，聯盟裡第二廉價的球隊，連條子$9200萬的一半都不到
，而且還是只有基基$2億的五分之一，光芒球員名單裡面最貴的是Johnny Damon，只
簽一年525萬的合約。
34 percent The percentage of Ranger baserunners who came around to score in
the regular season, the best percentage in baseball. An efficient offense is
especially crucial in the playoffs, where getting runners aboard and getting
them home can be a lot more difficult.
條子上壘的跑者在季賽有34%會回來得分，全聯盟最強的。有效率的攻擊在季後賽是特
別關鍵的，讓人上壘和讓人回本壘是非常不一樣的事情。
.281 The Tampa Bay Rays' secondary average, third-best in all of baseball
behind the Yankees and Red Sox. Secondary average is a Bill James stat that
basically measures an offense that does all the little things right: it
measures extra-base hits, walks, and net stolen bases (SB minus CS),
essentially providing a measure of how good a player or team was at taking
bases by any means other than hitting singles.
光芒擁有 0.281的間接引發率(SecA)是全聯盟第三讚的，僅次於洋基與紅襪，間接引發
率是Bill James的統計數據，基本上是用來衡量有助於攻擊的正確小事，像是多壘安打
、保送、盜壘淨值(盜壘數減去阻殺數)。在任何手段攻佔壘包時，它可以提供衡量如何
才會是個好球員或者好球隊。
TB-H+BB+SB-CS
(註：SecA=----------------)
AB
126 The number of homers the Rangers hit at homers. They're actually the
best-hitting home team in baseball. They lead all major league teams in home
HRs, runs, total bases, and OPS. Outside of Arlington, they're a bit more
ordinary. But they say that everything is bigger in Texas, and that's
certainly true for the Rangers' offense.
條子在主場打出 126發全壘打。他們就是打擊最棒的主場球隊，在主場全壘打數、壘打
數、OPS皆是領先全大聯盟球隊。離開Arlington球場，他們就是有點普通的球隊，但是
俗話說德州的東西就大一號，對條子的打擊而言的確如此。
67,140,000 The approximate number of how many more pages Eva Longoria
(68,800,000) has on the web than Evan Longoria(notes) (1,660,000), despite
the fact that Evan Longoria had maybe the best last day of the season that
any of us has ever seen — four RBI and a wild card-winning walkoff homer.
Longo is in his fourth major league season, and he's already a three-time
All-Star who has received MVP votes in every single season he's played, and
at age 25, he's arguably the best third baseman in all of baseball. And he's
clearly STILL underrated. Desperate Housewives never came back from a 7-0
deficit in the eighth inning to beat the Yankees, is all I'm saying.
67,140,000的差距，Eva Longoria(慾望師奶演員)在網路上有68,800,000個頁面，
Evan Longoria只有1,660,000個頁面。儘管差這麼多，Evan Longoria還是有個最棒
季賽收尾，我們從來不曾見過的4打點、外卡勝利再見炮。龍哥度過大聯盟生涯的第
四季，他卻已經是3次全明星、每季都獲得 MVP投票的親睞、僅25歲的他卻可是球界
最棒的三壘手，但他顯然還是被低估，慾望師奶從來不曾在輸7分的困境下還能逆轉
擊敗洋基，不過這是我說的。
12.4 percent Adrian Beltre's(notes) extra-base hit rate, best in the majors.
After his monster year last year, the Rangers signed Beltre to a multi-year
deal and displaced Michael Young(notes). But Beltre was fantastic this year,
combining with Ian Kinsler(notes), Josh Hamilton(notes), Nelson Cruz(notes),
Mike Napoli(notes), and Michael Young to form the most balanced attack that
the Rangers have had in years. And Beltre clearly has enjoyed hitting in the
Ballpark in Arlington, where he was able to rap out 33 doubles and 32 homers
despite playing just 124 games. He was named AL Player of the Month in
September after hitting 12 homers and 29 RBIs in 24 games in September. If
the Rangers manage to push through, he'll be a big reason why.
Adrian Beltre有12.4%的多壘打率，全聯盟最優。度過去年的怪獸球季後，條子簽了
Beltre複數年約，並且取代 Michael Young的守備位置。但Beltre今年依然很強，搭
配Ian Kinsler、Josh Hamilton、Nelson Cruz、Mike Napoli、Michael Young 形成
了最無斷層(均衡)的攻擊打線，而且 Beltre很顯然也喜歡在Arlington球場打球，在
那他敲出33支二安，而且僅僅只打了124場比賽就轟了32 發全壘打。九月份24場比賽
裡，他打了12發全壘打、29分打點，拿到九月美聯最優秀球員，假設條子能闖過各個
關卡，毫無疑問的，他會是個很大的關鍵。
.281 The Rays' Batting Average on Balls in Play (BABIP), tied for the
second-lowest in baseball. The Rays had a low team batting average, just
.244, tied for sixth-worst in the majors, but they had an above-average
offense, largely because of that high secondary average mentioned above.
光芒的 BABIP是0.281，全聯盟並列第二低的，團隊打擊率0.244也不好，並列全聯盟
第六爛的，但他們有高於水準的攻擊力，主要是因為以上所提到的超高的間接引發率
(SecA)。
