Is there a short answer for how “leverage” is calculated?
AvatarDan Szymborski
AvatarJay Jaffe

I think will create something of a no-win situation for certain types of players.
"We don't need to pay you for 30 homers when  we can find 30 homers from a corner guy anywhere" vs. "You're not going to hit 30 homers anyway once the ball changes, so why pay you?"

Oh, can I get credit as an extra then?

the exertion of force by means of a lever or an object used in the manner of a lever.

Dan, you lose a lot the fourth time through the order

Do you think the 2-3-2 format puts the lower seeded team at a greater disadvantage than a 2-2-1-1-1 format?
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:52
Not significantly

Is Fangraphs a cast or Caste  system?

It's a benevolent quangocracy.

if The Nats fo on to win this game, so they become the series favorites?
AvatarDan Szymborski

With even vaguely even teams, the actual series wins-losses is the most important factor

wow Rainey with the nasty first pitch.

It's time for the Tanner experience

Springer in the postseason is pretty much automatic at this point

Somewhere there's a guy named George Faller who rakes in spring

bad Rainey loads the bases before doing that.
AvatarJay Jaffe
10:58
Product of the times, but that's still pretty cool for Springer
Ben Kaspick

Yeah, if Rainey can keep throwing strikes the Nats will take their chances.

Talk to Transformer did not solve the Patrick Corbin relief debate.

After that homer I'm more convinced it's Hunter Strickland out there than Tanner Rainey
AvatarDan Szymborski

I wouldn't be surprised if Rainey figured out how to walk a batter on three pitches.

Would you trade more of those in game commercials for shorter actual commercial breaks?
AvatarDan Szymborski
11:01
Yes

Tanner Rainey is just every Nationals reliever over the last five years concentrated into a single human being.
AvatarDan Szymborski
11:01
Actually, I think that's Strickland

Smoltz is really frigging committed to Bregman swinging at the first pitch.  He must have said that on every ALCS AB for him.

Langs may be the best baseball stat person not working for FG.

The Dodgers lost to the Nationals because they didn't play David Freese as a #1 starter
AvatarDan Szymborski
11:02
It's true! Gotta think WAY outside hte box!
Tim McCarver
11:02
Smoltz making me look good
AvatarDan Szymborski
11:02
I never really minded McCarver

The Dodgers lost because they didn't have any professional hitters.
And they didn't have any crafty pitchers either.
