compare statistics and analytics between the Tigers and the Guardians.

(00:50):
It's a divisional race, of course. Before I do that,
let's check out Let's go to our disclaimer, shall we.
If you can't handle news, if you can't handle any news, stats, research,
or criticism regarding any of our teams, then stay completely
away from the comment section, completely away from the show

(01:13):
and its comments section at all times. If you're willing
to watch good and vice versa, just don't be a
prissy about it, Okay, so let's get down to it.
I'm going to share this screen right about now. Of course.

(01:38):
The Tigers lead it in the in the American League,
Comedy Central Division has decreased to three and a half games.
The Guardians completed a three games sweep with a three
to one win today. Trek Scoobel. Again, I was pitching

(02:13):
very well despite his despite being on being day to day,
I think, with with the but a bleakue tightness, I think.
But anyway, Schooble got a no decision, at least not

(02:37):
a loss. One earned, just one earned run, allowed, six
innings pitched. Scooble one hundred and two pitches in six
thrown in six innings, pitched seven hits, two walks, nine strikeouts.
This Guardian's lineup is tough, but School's erra remains at
two twenty three. Spencer tolkals and two for four today,

(03:05):
but that's about it. Laver's won Delaber Torres one for two, one,
sel Pears one for four, Colt Keith one for one
with an RBI before he suffered a back injury, and
you got Banyas with just a walk over one. Otherwise,

(03:26):
that's pretty much it. Dat mccantstreet over three with two strikeouts,
Parker Meadows one walk, over two otherwise with one strikeout,
Jami Jones over one, Kerry Carpenter over the over four
with a strikeout, Riley Green over four with two strikeouts,

(03:50):
Dylan Dingler over three, no strikeouts, m HM Stephen Quad
over five, Andy Martinez one for three, Jose Ramirez two
for five with two RBIs against Troy Meltain, who who

(04:11):
deserved that loss obviously an inning and two thirds, two
runs on two hits, including the Jose Ramirez double. He
walked a guy struck out a guy, yeah, the a

(04:32):
home run by a two run home run by Jose Ramirez.
But Tyler Holnet has been pitching lights out as of late.
An inning and a third, just one hit, no walks,
no runs, one strikeout. As there is three three eighty four.

(04:56):
So with that being said, it's time to close this
this down to of course, everyone's aware the three three
and a half game lead, three and a half game margin. Man,

(05:19):
oh man, where the hell do we begin here? Let's start.
Let's start with the pitching for the Tigers, of course.

(05:41):
Tyler Holten in relief five and five, three eighty four
e ra A one ten his last seven games three
eighty six ra A whip of one hundred in his last
seven games. Now, pitching wise, Tyler Holten.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Hm hmm.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Fielding independent pitching four ninety three value batting value pitching
mm hmm, Tyler Holten, zero point four war. So it's

(06:30):
not bad, so I would keep I would keep him.
Bailey Horn check him out one one fifty nine whip,
though that makes no sense because so last seven games

(06:55):
one oh four e ra A one thirty eight whip
just so he's given up walks and hits but very
minimal runs. Just he just keeps getting out of jams
at times. So Bailey Horn, let's see positive zero point

(07:19):
four war just slightly good along with Tyler Holton. Yeah,
I'm gonna go to the active roster Jack Flarity for

(07:45):
sixty Jack Flarity for sixty e r A eight and
fourteen one twenty eight whip check to check him out,
Jack flarerity positive zero point nine war, which I don't
understand wins above average zero point five because yeah, value

(08:14):
pitching runs per nine innings for an average pitcher four
fifty seven. So Trek Scougle is six point two. The
rest are just below two hundred will vested one point

(08:36):
six results in one point six. Bryan Herder, who's returned
Jack Flaherty, is not not consistent. I'm sorry, but yet,

(08:58):
Let's check out Jack fla these last seven games. Yeah,
four to seventy one ERA one twenty nine whip. Yeah,
that's obvious. Two and three. Brent Herder currently three and three,
two fifty eight e RA A one three whip last
seven games one hundred, one hundred RA one and oh

(09:21):
with a one hundred whip. That's very, very good for
Brent Herder. So Brent Herder runs above average for nine
innings four fourteen? Is war is the zero? Is? It

(09:42):
is just positive zero point four? Yeah, I'm not gonna
going to pay attention to the wars. So I just
briefly showed you six point two tier sch Google. The
rest are just below two hundred, or few of them
or at least one point zero or above Kyle Finnigan

(10:04):
one point zero, Casey Mines one point two, Resulson and
well best as I showed you one point six each,
Jack Flaherty zero point nine or Troy Milton zero point nine,
kitam Ontio zero point six yep, plenty of them. Plenty
of these pictures. Plenty of these pictures here. Some of

(10:28):
them are slightly in between zero and plus one zero
and positive one war Ho was a euroquity on down
to Sawyer Gibson long negative zero point one is to
negative zero point nine war. We need better pictures. The

(11:00):
Tigers need better pitchers. I'm sorry, but jeez, yeah, let's
uh Paul Sewell, he's gonna return. Yeah, he returned from

(11:24):
the sixty dight I l but he hasn't played yet.
So to the to the uh, to the hitters. First off,
Dylan Dingler to seventy six average, seven fifty oh ps

(11:44):
his last seven games to seventy six U two seventy
two seventy six on base percentage four forty eight slugging
and where the hell is the calculator? Hold on, man,

(12:15):
let me share the screen again and then dial this up.

(12:36):
Point two seven six plus zero point four four eight
equals a seven twenty four ops it in Dingler's last
seven games. M Yeah, if there are any comments on YouTube,

(13:13):
towych or anywhere else on Instagram, I'll check them out
later on. But right now I'm comparing, comparing right now,
I'm comparing statistics and analytics between the Tigers and Guardians.
This may take a while. Uh. Dylan Dingler thirty three

(13:37):
runs of runs above replacement, His value banning three point three,
offensive war two point seven is defensive war one point five. Now,
let's let's compare him to Jake Rogers. Jake Rogers, the

(14:04):
guy with the old school mustache. One average sixty six
forty four ops. Hm hmm, look at it his last
seven games three Jake Rogers in his last in his
last seven games, three point fifty average, four oh nine

(14:29):
on base percentage, six hundred slugging. So that's ten oh
nine ops. I'll show you for the for those uh
yeah that this is this is the ops right here,
one point zero zero nine ops. That that's incredible. A

(14:53):
ten oh nine ops. And Jake Rogers is for Jake
Rogers in his last seven games. Wow. So in the
last seven games, Jake Rogers has actually outplayed Dylan. Out
hit Dylan. Dylan Dingler out out on basin out ops

(15:16):
Dylan Dingler. Holy cow, shocking. Let's get that one. Let's
get that stuff right. Andrew Schultz, Welcome, Thanks for joining on.
Thanks for joining on. Instagram live. No comments on YouTube

(15:38):
yet but three viewers watching live at least now. Jake
Rogers zero point four War right now wins above average,
zero point zero runs above average four h runs above replacement,

(16:04):
rather runs above average zero runs above average runs above
for replaced run runs above replacement is four mm hmmm.
Win lost percentage with an average with a with an
average team four Rogers five sixteen for Dingler.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
So Jake Rodgers is really caught on fire as of late.
Dylan Dingler is just stagnant now. For the uh infielders,

(16:57):
Andy Abonyez, this may get ugly here two thirty eight average,
six fifty six ops his last seven games two eighty
six average three seventy five plus two eighty I'll just

(17:21):
use my calculator on my app. Three seventy five on
base percentage plus two eighty six slugging percentage equals six
sixty one ops for Andy e. Bunnies in his last

(17:43):
seven games. Just a five point uptick that is season.
That is ops this season overall, so not much there,
not much there, not much to cheer about in terms
of Andy Evanyas is offensive level and yeah, just zero

(18:16):
point for war so andyas wins above average negative zero
point two runs above above replacement four kah yah yahm.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Hm hm.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Andy, that's Andy Banyas Colt Keith out going to be
out for a while with a back injury. It's significant
from what I hear, But two fifty six average seven
forty six ops, it's decent. It's decent. Last seven games
three sixteen average four oh nine on base percentage plus

(19:31):
three sixty eight slugging percentage is seven to seventy seven
OPS for cold Keith in his last seven games. Still decent,
but not quite great. Mm hmm. Now Colt Keith one

(20:00):
point six war, his offensive war one point five, his
defensive wars negative zero point four. Andy Ibania's offensive wars
zero point one that binds this defensive or positive zero
point three? Not much there either. Zach McKinstry two two

(20:36):
fifty eight average seven to sixty seven ops his last
seven games, zero for sixteen all zeros in his last
seven games, six strikeouts, no walks, just one RBI and
one run scored. Yeah, that makes no sense, Like, ugh,

(21:10):
are you kidding me? Let's take a look at McKinstry's offense.
Is McKinstry's war values. McKinstry his wars to his war
is positive two point eight offensive war three point one,

(21:31):
defensive war negative zero point one, so his defense is
not great. Plus he's not smart on the base pass either.
He's he runs fast, he run, he runs very very fast,
but he doesn't think before he reacts. Trey Sweeney on

(21:59):
average one ops over eight three strikeouts all zeros. Oh
Jesus Christ, tray freaking tray fucking Sweeney, Oh my god,
negative zero point six, war negative one point seven, wins

(22:22):
above average, runs above average negative sixteen, runs above replacement
negative five, runs from replacement eleven at least offensive war
negative zero point two, defensive war positive zero point one.

(22:45):
That's pretty much it. But my god, Tray Sweeney, you
suck ass. Spencer Torkulsen two forty two average seven ninety
five ops is last seven games m three point thirty

(23:08):
three average, four hundred on base percentage for eighty one slugging.
That's an eight eighty one ops. Tork was four for
five last night, that last Monday, at this past Monday,
that extra inning, seven to five loss, three singles in
a home and a two run home round. The tenth inning.

(23:30):
Spencer Torklsen today was two for four three walks thus
far and is last seven games nine for twenty seven.
Spencer Torkelsen War two point four wins above average, zero

(23:51):
point four runs above average, three runs from replacement twenty
one runs runs above replacement twenty four. His offensive war
is two point two is defensive war negative zero point five,

(24:11):
so he's got to work on his He's still got
to work on his defense HM. And then you got
Labor Torres, the last infielder on the active Tigers active
roster two fifty three average seven fifty three ops. Oh

(24:37):
Man last seven games, one thirty average three for twenty three.
He has really regressed three twenty three on base three
h four slugging. That's a six twenty. That's just a
six twenty seven ops for Labor Torres in his last
seven games. Claybor Torres two point four, still a two

(25:01):
point five war wins above average, zero point six runs
above average, five runs from replacement, twenty runs above replacement
twenty five. Offensive war three point two, defensive war negative
zero point three. To the outfielders, Javier biasn't now listed

(25:29):
as an outfielder in centerfield, why not two fifty four
average six seventy nine ops. I'd say average his last
seven games. Of course, what can we say? Two for
seventeen one eighteen average one fifty eight on base percentage

(25:51):
two thirty five slugging.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
So.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
One p fifty eight on base percentage plus two thirty
five slugging just a three ninety three ops for Javier
Bias in his last seven games, Judas priest, that is
freaking beyond terrible Bias as advanced values war is one

(26:27):
point nine wins above average, point five runs above average,
four runs from replacement, fourteen runs above replacement eighteen His
offensive or one point five one point five, which is

(26:49):
above a one hundred still below two is defensive word
positive zero point nine a little bit, still a little
bit below one. Kerry Carpenter, the one they call the
one fans called Carrie Bonds two fifty six average eight

(27:10):
twelve ops, which is good, not quite great, but still good.
Two fifty six average averages like either average or decent.
His last seven games two sixty one, two sixty one
average six for twenty three two walks, three RBI, six strikeouts.

(27:35):
His his on base percentages three twenty his slugging percentage
is five to twenty two. That's an eight forty two
OPS for Carry Carpenter in his last seven games. Carry
Carpenter wars two point one wins above average, zero point
six runs above average, six runs from replacement, fifteen runs

(28:03):
above replacement twenty his offensive wars two point two is
his defensive wars negative zero point seven. Eugh, this is
from Wednesday. These are from after Wednesday, but really they

(28:24):
don't change mon after one day.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
You know.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Riley Green two sixty one average three seventeen on base
eight fifteen opi interesty, which is good, but its last
seven games so fucking putrid. One fifteen average three for
twenty six his last seven games two oh seven on

(28:53):
base two sixty nine slugging, so that's uh seven, that's
four to seven just a four to seventy six ops
for Riley Green in his last seven games. That's terrible.
So Riley Green is third on the list. Two point

(29:17):
six war wins above average, zero point five just a
half a half win, just a half win above average,
four runs above four runs above average, twenty one runs
above replacement, twenty one runs above twenty one runs from

(29:42):
replacement twenty six runs above replacement three point one offensive war,
negative one point one defensive war. And Riley Green does
not run that fast. He's slow. Jami Jones. His opiate,

(30:05):
His opis is the highest, of course, I'll show you
eight ninety four ops, two sixty three average. Oh my god,
really his last seven games over six four walks, triple

(30:25):
zero average, four hundred on base percentage, zero slugging because
he did not because yeah, two strikeouts. He he has
not got any hits. So it's uh ops as of late,
just four hundred out of a four hundred on base percentage.

(30:48):
So let's check out his advanced values advanced analytics, Jami Jones.
Where the hell is he? Jami Jones? Just zero point
six war, zero point two wins above average, two runs
above replacement, five runs from replacement, six runs above replacement

(31:14):
zero point eight offensive war, negative zero point six defensive war.
So quite a few Tigers players that have defensive wars
under less than zero that are less than zero, which
is horrible. Justin Henry Molloy negative zero point four defensive war,

(31:36):
Thomas Nito negative zero point one defensive war, Jase Young
negative zero point one defensive war. Yeah, more than a few,
like fucking ten players total on the forty man roster
with defensive wars that are less than zero on the

(31:59):
negative Parker Meadows two twenty eight average six fifty four ops.
His average is not good, his OPS is average. His
last seven games six for twenty four two fifty average decent,

(32:22):
not great, not good, but decent, kind of at least decent.
I guess three toho eight on base percentage, three thirty
three slugging. So that's six forty one ops is last
seven games for Parker Meadows, Parker freaking Meadows zero point

(32:42):
four war zero point zero, defensive war flat offensive war
zero point five, zero point one wins above negative, zero
point one wins above average, negative two runs above average,

(33:03):
six runs from replacement, five runs above replacement. So there's
Parker Meadow's right there. And then finally, when cell Perez
the Pretzel Man, there's no date, there's no nickname listed,

(33:31):
so screw it. Yeah, I don't want to answer your
fucking survey, fucking shit survey, so fuck off. Two fifty
six average for when Cel Perez total this season overall
this season seven sixty two ops, which is at least
decent or good, maybe even good. But his last seven

(33:55):
games one thirty three average, one sixty one on base
percentage plus one sixty seven slugging and it's just a
three twenty eight ops for win cell pairs in his
last seven games. Oh my god, when cell pair is

(34:19):
ranked ninth in value badding one point one war zero
point negative zero point one wins above replacement wins above
average negative one negative one run above average runs from

(34:41):
positional scarcity negative two for whinsell pairs there twelve runs
from replacement, eleven runs above replacement offensive war one point
one defensive war negative zero point three.

Speaker 2 (35:00):

top ranked Gavin Williams. Let's check him out. This is
going to get interesting. Eleven and five three oh six
ERA one twenty eight whip his last seven games four

as you can see already, he's got the best war
that's a. That's why he's ranked first three point six

the least ruttens allowed for nine ings at one point four.
But Gavin Williams Win's above average, continuing on two point two.
So there you go. Those are the h guardians, pitchers,

(49:34):
and now the hitters value batting. There we go, First
off the catches, First off the catchers. Austin Hedges got
a little tied up with with my tongue and brain,
but on average two thirty six on base percentage five

(49:59):
to ten ops his last seven games won seventy six
on base percentage. Let me get activate my calculator app.
Two sixty three on base percentage plus three point fifty three.
Slugging is a is A six point is A six

(50:22):
to sixteen OPS for Austin Hedges in his last seven games.
Austin Hedges eighteenth in War at negative zero point six.
Offensive wars negative zero point five, defensive wars is positive

(50:45):
zero point three. He's more defensive than offensive. Bow Naylor
one eighty eight average six thirty nine ops his last
seven games two ninety six average three twenty one on

(51:08):
base percentage plus a five nineteen slugging is an eight
forty ops for bon Nailor in his last seven games.
That's pretty good. Bow Nailor six in War at one
point two negative one point negative zero point one wins

(51:32):
above average hedges by the way, negative zero, negative one
point one wins above average negative eleven runs above average
bow Nailor only negative point two runs above average Offensive

(51:56):
war zero point eight above zero Defensive war one point
one positive not bad Gabriel Areas as. We go to
the infielders here. Gabriel Arias UH two twenty five average

(52:17):
six forty seven ops overall this season. Its last seven
games seven for seven for seven for seven for twenty
seven two fifty nine average two fifty nine slugging plus
a four forty four slugging percentage two fifty nine on

(52:41):
base four forty four slugging is a seven zero three
ops for Gabriel Areas in his last seven games. Gabriel
Arias fourth in war at one point three runs above average,
negative two wins above average negative point zero, negative zero

(53:02):
point two Offensive war positive zero point eight mm HM,
Defensive War one point one. David Fry. He has regressed

(53:25):
one seven this year one seventy average five ninety nine
ops his last seven games. Oh my gosh, well he's
he's actually come on strong as as of late. So
hold on, so hold the phone. Two eighty six average
three point thirty three on base percentage plus a five

(53:45):
seventy one slugging percentage. That's a nine oh four ops.
And in his last seven games for David Fry. Let
me calculate that again. Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, nine

(54:10):
oh four ops for David Fryan his last seven games. Uh,
that is red hot nine oh four ops. David Fry
twentieth in war at negative zero point seven. But he's
come on a he has caught on fire as of late.

(54:35):
Negative runs above average, negative eleven wins above average negative
one point two, negative point seven offensive war, negative point
four defensive war mhm CJ caphus two nineteen average seven

(55:14):
to twenty ops. That's twenty three up twenty three for
one hundred and five is last seven games seven seven
for twenty one three point thirty three average four seventeen
on base percentage plus seven fourteen slugging percentage. Oh oh,

(55:36):
here we go, which equals an eleven thirty one ops
for CJ Cavas in his last seven games one point
one to three to one ops. That is outrageously hot. CJ.
Caphus ranked eighth in War at zero point one, negative

(55:59):
point five three wins above average, negative two runs above
average offensive war zero point two, defensive war negative zero
point three. But my god, eleven thirty one ops in
his last seven games for CJ caphis, and he's a
first baseman. Kyle Manzardo, also a first baseman, two forty

(56:27):
average three seven to ninety ops his last seven games
six for twenty five two forty average, two sixty nine
on base percentage plus three twenty slugging not good. Five
eighty nine ops for Monzarto in his last seven games.

(56:54):
Manzarto seventh in War zero point seven. Rank seventh was
zero point seven war negative zero point nine, wins above average,
negative nine runs above average one point four offensive war
negative one point seven Defensive war. Wow. HM. Jose Ramirez, well,

(57:33):
I'd say right now is a slugger for the Cleveland
Guardians two eighty two average eight sixty oh ps. Those
are good this last seven games, however, just games last
seven games However, five for twenty seven just five for
twenty seven, one five. That's a one eight five average,

(57:56):
two ninety on base percentage plus three point thirty three
slugging six twenty three ops for Jose Ramirez in his
last seven games. Jose Ramirez, of course, the top ranked
to value batting with a five point one WAR, which

(58:19):
is different, So wins above replacement is different. That is
more analytically, more on analytics than statistics, which is different.
Stephen Kwan three point three three point three war war.

(58:41):
We'll get to him later. That he's he's he's ranked
second in value batting, but I'm focused on the infielders
right now. Brent brand Rocky O mm hmmm, two thirty
one one average six twenty four ops overall this overall

(59:03):
this season, his last seven games two for twenty two,
zero zero ninety one average, one sixty seven on base percentage,
oh god, plus one point eighty two slugging. That equals
a dreadful, absolutely pathetic three forty nine ops for Brian

(59:28):
Rocky when in his last seven games, Rocky over rank
fifteenth with a with a negative zero point four war,
negative fifteen runs above average, negative one point six wins
above average a flat zero one offensive war, a zero
point two in defensive war. That's it. That's eat for

(59:53):
Brian Rocchio and Daniel Sheneman. Daniel Schneaming rather M, yeah,
I see it clearly now, don't worry. I fix my mistake.
We all make mistakes. Two fourteen average for Schneaming six
fifty six oh ps A last seven games one for eighteens.

(01:00:21):
His last is one for his last eighteen A zero
fifty six average, one oh five on base percentage zero
zero fifty six slugging. That is a dreadful one sixty
one ops in his last seven games. He plays as
a second basement games played Schneaming one hundred and twenty two.

(01:00:49):
He's a starter. Oh my god, this is just comedy
set Al, Comedy Central. We're written all over this place analytically, M. Schneeman.

(01:01:12):
Oh my god, Where the hell is he ranked third?
One point eight war? Yeah, wins above average zero point
five runs above average positive five offensive war one point two,
defensive war one point zero. So his ability So he

(01:01:35):
has more capability than his stats. Yeah. So, some of
those Guardians players, including Stephen Kuan, Daniel Stemen, and Hosing
Ramirez have absolute, absolutely more and more valuable analytics than

(01:02:02):
just statistics. So you compare the two the two elements,
the statistics and the analytics, the analytic values to the
outfielders Nolan Jones, Stephen Kui is right after him, so

(01:02:23):
stay tuned. Nolan Jones two to eleven average six hundred
ops his last seven games three for his last eighteen
one sixty seven average two to eleven on base percentage
two twenty two slugging. That is a four thirty three
OPS for Nolan Jones in his last seven games. Nolan

(01:02:46):
Jones twenty second negative zero negative one point negative one
point zero war negative twenty two runs above average negative
two point three wins, above average negative zero point seven
offensive war, negative zero point six defensive war. Yeah yeah,

(01:03:08):
his statistics and analytics are pretty much alike. In other words,
he sucks. M okay, Stephen Kuan, Let's get to him,
the meat of the the meat of every Tigers fans matter.

(01:03:31):
I hate Stephen Quinn, Screw you spoiled brats. Even as
a Tiger fan, I respect and love Stephen Kuan for
his abilities two seventy two average seven h five ops
his last seven games five or twenty seven, one eighty
five average, two sixty seven on base percentage plus a

(01:03:53):
two point fifty nine slugging percentage. It's a five to
twenty six ops for Steven Kuan in his last seven games.
He went over five today too, in Detroit over five.
But his war is three point three, his offensive war

(01:04:18):
one point three, defensive war one point six. That's the
best out of that's the best defensive war is that's
the best non pitching defensive war out of this. Out
of the entire Guardians active roster, may even forty roster
forty man roster runs above average, twelve wins above average,

(01:04:43):
one point three runs above replacement thirty three. Jose Ramirez
runs above runs above replacement fifty twenty one runs from
replacement each for Ramirez and Kwan, those are damn good
advanced analytics. That's the meat of the man right there.

(01:05:14):
For the Cleveland Guardians, they're not just good against one
particular pondent. They're they're good period against all team, all
of their twenty nine all twenty nine other MLB teams period.
Angel Martinez, Yeah, just three to go and that'll be it.

(01:05:38):
Angel Martinez two thirty average six forty four ops. But
as last, Holy shit, last seven games five or thirteen
three eighty five ops, five hundred on base at three
eighty five average five hundred OP five hundred on base
percentage eight forty six slugging.

Speaker 2 (01:05:59):
That's a fourteen forty six ops, a skyrocketing thirteen forty
one point three fourty six ops for Angel Martinez out
of all people the center fielder in his last seven games,
Holy cow, Angel Martinez is yet ranked seventeenth with the

(01:06:21):
negative zero point five war.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
Oh man, but it's war. It actually may rise up
after his last seven games in terms of hitting and
getting on base and slugging all that stuff all together.
Negative runs above replacement runs a negative runs I mean

(01:06:48):
negative twenty runs above average, negative two point zero wins
above average runs from replacement fifteen runs above replacement negative
four offensive ward point zero point three. Defensive war negative
zero point four. So he's more offensive than defensive. He's

(01:07:09):
been more offensive than defensive as of late. God, that
guy's been a machine. Now for the other two John
Kinski Noel one sixty one average for sixty two ops.

(01:07:33):
Oh my god, here we go, four for twelve at
his last four for his last twelve at his last
seven games, three thirty three average, three point thirty three
on base, eight thirty three slugging. Let me add Andy's
up here. One point one sixty six ops for john

(01:07:59):
Kinsky noel in his last seven games. Eleven sixty six ops.
That is skyrocketing as well. No well, no will right
at the very bottom. Negative negative one point three war

(01:08:20):
negative sixteen runs above replacement, negative one point eight wins
above replacement, negative one point three offensive war negative zero,
negative zero point one defensive war negative twelve runs above
replacement five runs from replacement. What the hell is going

(01:08:40):
on here? Geez? That's because of his overall statistics and
analytics thus far. But look at look at these though,
that's these are damn impressive.

Speaker 2 (01:09:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
And finally, last but not best or least, George Falera
one nighty average for eighty two ops. That sucks four
for his last twenty and at his last seven games
two walks, no home runs, two RBIs that's it. Two

(01:09:28):
hundred average, two seventy three on base, two hundred slugging.
That's just a four to seventy three OPS in his
last seven games. Ah h games played just eight, just
eight games played well, he's a right fielder. He's a rookie.

(01:09:52):
It was just called up George Falera. Negative zero point
four war, yeah, I used to rookie. I'll just let
him off the hook. He's ranked fourteenth. Negative zero point
five wins above average, negative four runs above average, negative

(01:10:14):
zero point two offensive or negative zero point three defensive war.
And that's it. Those are all the statistics and analytics
between the Tigers and the Guardians. Mile mile mile, myo, MYI,
So what have we learned? Some of the Guardians hitters

(01:10:36):
have caught on fire, including John Kitski, Noel, Stephen Kwan,
not Stephen Kuwan, but really his his analytics as of late,
Jose Ramirez is a slugger. The Guardians can can actually
play the ball better than the Tigers. Stephen Kwan may

(01:10:58):
not have an high ops, but he gets it's on
base a lot with skill and not luck. He can
hit the ball. He can hit the ball into the
outfield per hits for singles, one hundred and twenty one singles.
It he has one hundred and twenty one singles. I
just did the math myself. Not very many doubles, very

(01:11:18):
few triples, very few home runs, A whole lot of
singles and plenty of walks as well. Not only is
he good against the Tigers, he's good against all twenty
nine other MLB teams period. So with that being said,

(01:11:42):
the Tigers offense is only a pile of manure, or
has been as of late. So let me take a
sip of my water here before we wrap things up.
Before I wrap things up here, that's what we've learned
