I sort of agree, but:


PITCHING
BF = Batters Faced + Steal Attempts
OI = Outs Induced = AB-H + CS + SF + SH + GIDP
BG = Bases Given = TB+BB+SB+SF+SH-CS-GIDP+HBP + (BK+WP-IBB)
AdjOPS = BG/OI

team BF OI BG AdjOPS
SDP 1285 930 488 .524731
STL 1326 961 509 .529657 <========Larussa's team
TBR 1293 933 529 .566988
SFG 1304 913 525 .575027
MIN 1294 914 547 .598468
ATL 1278 895 538 .601117
NYY 1240 877 528 .602052

St.Louis pitchers BF OI B AdjOPS
AdamWainwright STL 200 157 57 .363
RyanFranklin STL 56 43 16 .372
JaimeGarcia STL 154 114 48 .421
BradPenny STL 190 143 66 .462 !!!!
ChrisCarpenter STL 216 162 82 .506

League average is .667.

His pitching system must be doing something right to get to the World
Series a lot.
Look, even Brad Penny is doing well in his system.

Speaking of Wakamatsu, Sarge must be very conflicted about him. I saw
an interview with him when he first got the job, He said his father is
Japanese and his mother is Polish. From Hawaii so possibly a smidgeon
of other things as well.
