She was a teacher at his high school, but he never had her. Although I guess now he does have her.

There amass been plenty of articles written this spring about the stud shortstop Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum , as well as the fluid young outfielders and thirteen basemen Kevin Frandsen.

She was a PE teacher from his high school. She never actually taught him, but she was a teacher while he was a student. She’s 16 years older than him, I think.

Stats Ed time..

Litton had an OPS+ of -53 in 21 at-bats.

How can an OPS+ be negative. From what I though, an OPS+ of 105 is 5% above league average. But you can’t be 153% below league average.

Here's the formula for OPS+


Soooo… if OBP/lgOBP + SLG/lgSLG happens to be less than one, you’ve got your negative OPS+.

OK...

So basically if you’ve got less than 50% the league average of both then you’ve got a negative OPS. In simple terms. Got it.
