-.240 WPA, -.124 on the 5th inning DP and -.084 on the third-inning DP.
That said, 0.96 WPA for the year, 19th among MLB hitters, even after that.

that game was lost because JD hit into 2 DP's period. That is going to happen and i don't fault him for attacking pitches early, but I think you should make the pitcher work a little with the bases loaded or with 2 in scoring position. Make him pitch to get out of it. that last at bat he attacked a pitch low in the zone that just screamed DP. Lol. The guy is hitting .347/.431/.713. C'mon now. It's not like he said to himself, as the pitch was coming in, "hm, this pitch has a very high likelihood of me hitting into a double-play, but f- it, I feel like swinging, so here goes!" There are things to complain about with this team. JD Martinez really isn't one of them. I said I didn't fault him for that because he is one of the players that IS actually hitting, but I am a fan of working the pitcher with the bases loaded to make him uncomfortable. those 2 times were the best chnaces to build an inning and the DP's took the wind out of the sails.
