Yeah I've read this book on the Rockies before. So forgive me if I'm not too excited. If they are still playing this well in Jul-Aug/Sept then we'll talk.
Do agree though. They are fun to watch.

Part of it is because his road games this year has been in Miami, SF, SD, LA, and Arizona. 4 pitchers' park and 1 hitters' park. His wRC+ is 242 , league average is 100 and wRC+ is park adjusted.
Just read this http://grantland.com/the-triangle/troy-tulowitzki-colorado-rockies-historic-start/ article on Grantland, and showed that the pitching the Rox has faced hasn't been good this year. I think that's part of the reason for Tulo's godlike start.Good points - but your wRC+ is not taking into account the home/away splits
Interesting stats in the K % home vs. away. It's almost like he has a better eye at home, or the pitching is just that bad at Coors.
346 wRC+ at home and 147 wRC+ on the road? Holy ****, that's amazing. Didn't see the splits.

Weighted Runs Created Plus, measures a player's wRC (which quantifies a player's total offensive value measured by runs) with league average.
Better explanation - http://www.fangraphs.com/library/offense/wrc/
It's runs created. I don't know the formula for it, but it's a pretty good advanced stat. The scale for the weight RC is 100 being league average, so anything above 100 is better than average.
I like to use wOBA the most along with fielding stats, just because I use moneyball in all my OOTP leagues.

Thanks. So even that 147 on the road is still pretty darn good.
Now 27 for Arenado!

It's certainly all star level. What is amazing is the teams batting line as as a whole. That is also all star calibre.

Majors, no. But he may be one of the most under rated players out there. But no way is he better than tulo or trout.
My master plan for the Mock was drafting Andrew Jackson, Avery Williamson and John Brown with the next three picks, but things petered out.

I despise the Pats more than any other NFL team, but they got this right.

Nice.
I've been contemplating getting Ninković's jersey for the past couple of years, but I was afraid he might not stick around, this makes it easier.
Hard to give credit to those jerks but it is a fantastic idea. So much so that i'm surprised it took so long for a team to do this. Although it had to be a big name team like the Patriots to do it. And because it's a bigger team like the Pats other teams will probably follow suit.

Why did Houston need to take the entire 10 minutes?
I like the walk up song idea. Can't really hear it though.
