*Sigh*, another day, another serious injury, as Ramos is out for the rest of the year. It's so sick that this club is still winning with what they're having to endure.

OK, now let's see if we can sweep a three game series for once!

I can almost sense the sweep now...

Joey, why did you jinx it?

Watching the Nationals has become intolerable. This has been the most predictable 9th-inning loss ever.
   4. Dr. Vaux Posted: May 13, 2012 at 08:25 PM (#4130810)
Great, two outs before they lose it.
   5. Dr. Vaux Posted: May 13, 2012 at 08:26 PM (#4130812)
Now the winning run is on base.
   6. Dr. Vaux Posted: May 13, 2012 at 08:33 PM (#4130813)
And like clockwork.

Votto's WPA today was 1.022.

I assume WPA's > 1 are pretty uncommon.

Wow. That was amazing. WPA>1 is pretty uncommon, but far from unheard of. This article from 2008 gives some examples and says that only 35 players (plus, presumably, one or two more in the three and a half years since the article was written) have done it before, although I believe that FanGraphs' WPA numbers only go back to 1974 or something. So I guess the rate is about one per year, then.
