Manny vs Bay

Manny Ramirez: 4 HR 10 RBI .667 OBP 1.08 SLG 1.675 OPS (8 games)

Jason Bay: 3 HR 9 RBI .471 OBP .634 SLG 1.15 OPS (11 games)

The fact of the matter is that Jason Bay had a great series. However, Manny Ramirez put up numbers that are out of this world. I can’t help but wonder how our series would have been different if he were still here. Sure, he gets a little annoying in August, but do you really think we wouldn’t have made the playoffs with him? In a series where all we needed was a little more offense, I’ll take the 1.675 OPS every single time.

    What does OPS stand for?

    On-Base-Percentage Plus Slugging.

    Essentially it combines two of the most valuable offensive statistics, on base percentage AKA how often someone gets on base and slugging percentage AKA how many total bases a hitter averages per at bat.
