What are some red flags that you should look for in a box score/game log?

[towerbooks3192]

Need advice from veterans. It is obvious that losing is bad and seeing how much a team scores is an obvious way to look at things but I am wondering if any of you got some advice on what red flags I should be looking at on the box score and game log of the games that I have lost and the possible problems?

Errors and BABIP to maybe see if there is a defense issue.

Games 'lost' when opponent got ahead in 7th plus innings (could be a bullpen issue)

How long are starters lasting when they pitch well (say getting a QS or better performance but yanked in 6th/7th), could be stamina issue in rotation, too quick of a hook setting.

once season gets at least to 1/2 way pt, I tend to look more at team stats (wOBA, Babip (for hitters and pitchers), FIP by SP&RP, def eff and uzr for fldg) and see where my team ranks overall. Any where i am in bottom half or maybe even lower than top 1/3rd needs addressed

just my 2 cents on some things I look for


...HTH

It is a measure of how may balls hit into a positions 'zones" a player gets to/does not get to compared to what the league average fielder gets to, in simplest terms.

Search wikipedia for uzr for a little more explanation

I also look at defensive efficiency for fielding at a team level
