Quoted: And then, if you are a not a Yankees fan, you will want to throw up. If you are not a Yankees fan, you are left hoping that next year the randomness of a short playoff series will get the Yankees and allow some other team to win so we can celebrate the hope of Opening Day. And that’s baseball.

Stats + Baseball were made for each other.

Quoted: After looking at that paper, hopefully you understand a bit better why this is so important not just to sabermetrics, but statistics in general. It is undoubtedly one of the most potent tools in the shed. As you notice, however, it only compares 2 variables to each other, age and ALW.

An example of such an equation can be seen in Nate Silver’s QERA metric on Baseball Prospectus.
