@thorn_john @tangotiger @_Ben_Clemens Maybe Lindsey (1963) didn't present the runs expectancies in matrix form, but the the E(T, B) column in Table 1 of that paper contains the same values as a function of outs and runners on base:

@albertbayes @tangotiger @_Ben_Clemens George R. Lindsey examined the subject but did not produce a base-out matrix, in "An Investigation of Strategies in Baseball," George R. Lindsey, Operations Research Vol. 11, No. 4 (Jul. - Aug., 1963), pp. 477-501 (25 pages).

Terrific piece from @_Ben_Clemens with a focus on RE24 (run expectancy by the 24 base-out states) RE24 is the single most important metric to understand baseball and statistics, and also is the bridge between old-school and new-school The irony is that its the least-used metric

@thorn_john @tangotiger @_Ben_Clemens No, I think George Lindsay introduced runs expectancy in 1963, over 60 years ago, in an Operations Research article.

@tangotiger @_Ben_Clemens Did run expectancy first appear in Hidden Game of Baseball 40 years ago?
