@tangotiger I remember thinking that people wouldn't know how to think of raw FIP, especially once it turned negative for someone like Pedro.

Sweet!
Couple of suggestions: RBI next to R, 2B+3B and BB+HBP. Jettison OPS in favour of wOBA or CoreWOBA. Add FIP next to ERA
(Actually, it was YOU I think that pushed me to set FIP to the ERA scale!)
On the Standings, add Run Diff

I miss the old days of reading box scores and stats in the paper, so I vibe-coded my own version. It's informed by sabermetrics but still focused on the basics. Just built it for me, but if you're interested: dastudes.github.io/daily/index.ht…

@Noahpinion We do spend a large portion of our medical costs on a patient’s last year of life. We could save some decent dollars by just better educating patients on their options during that time.
English
I now realize that the "solution" to the rising cost of healthcare will not be to ration healthcare.
It will be to kill the most expensive patients.

The last time I checked my wait list for a family doctor it said 8 months and now it's 14. The MAID wait list is like 6 weeks. Get me out of this fucking country man!!!!!!!

How much extra impact do great seasons have on pennant races?

@literaryeric @Noahpinion Not sure wheee you live, but bail reform in Chicago has reportedly not been accompanied by an increase in crime.

I'm pro-immigration and anti-mass-incarceration. I totally understand why we tried sanctuary cities and bail reform. But it's time for us to admit both policies have been disasters.

@tangotiger I hadn’t seen enhanced game score before. The idea is to rank not just an individual game, but sort of a weighted score based on previous performances and expectations?
English
I tweeted this 4+ years ago
Once Felix makes the HOF, Hamels is next, along with Lester. Missing from this eventual HOF group is Tim Hudson
Tangotiger 🍁@tangotiger
Using Enhanced Game Score, and give a pitcher 1 HOF point for each start of 70+ points, since 1999, the top 10 are: 167 Kershaw 153 Verlander 136 Max, Felix 133 Greinke, CC, Hudson 124 Doc, Hamels, Lester Others: Sale 97, Johan 95, deGrom 88, Kluber 84, Stras 82 If instead...

@ernestdove The entire thing made me wonder what the umps were signaling too.

Wait why/how can a player or team call a timeout during an active play?

If anyone still follows me here, it's because I used to write about baseball. I don't do that anymore, but I did recently post my favorite old columns at baseballgraphs.com. If you want to read what baseball nerds used to discuss, check it out.

Mets OF prospect AJ Ewing drilled a 95 mph pitch oppo for a line drive single in the 2nd inning for St. Lucie Mets. He remains hot to start the milb season.

@EliBenPorat @tangotiger I used it in the THT Annual for several years, but that didn't stick either. Hey, I tried.
English
@tangotiger I like it! But like you said, probably won't stick
English
Well, 99% of people say "play", but I try to distinguish between HR and other batted balls
I use HIP (hit into play) to include HR and BIP (balls in park) to not. I know, Fetch
That said, I'd be happy to hear other suggestions

@tangotiger The P in BABIP isn't "Play"? 🤯
English
@tangotiger Thanks Tango. That’s actually Not In Play. Maybe that’s why it didn’t catch on. 😉
English
This presentation from @dastudes for some reason never caught on
But it's precisely this presentation that makes the FIP v BABIP discussion so much easier
In this case, we can see that most of Doc's impact was felt with the Not-In-Park plate appearances

@fastballs @MLBPlayerAnalys Great question. I wonder if yesterday’s starting pitchers had more of a nine-inning plan? Would really like to see this over multiple years.
English
@MLBPlayerAnalys You say this is due to TTO, but why was the 1st inning the biggest scoring inning for multiple decades when the size of the TTO effect hasn't changed substantially?
(1st inning was the biggest scoring inning in the AL up until 2017, and then also in the NL with the DH in 2022)
English
With looking it up, in which innings have the most runs been scored league-wide in 2024, from highest to lowest?
