Some news for those of you that use my app: I’m rolling out an improved version with a ton of new features, including splits, customizable hitter & pitcher comps, plots on each page, updated SEAGER/damage/pitch models, sample size adjustments, and more.

The worst Braves hitter in history would get a power up vs 2008 Brad Lidge if ATL was down 1 in the 9th, it’s been that way forever. That’s why game 1 in 2022 and Kimbrel in the clincher in 2023 are 2 of the most unbelievable Phillies wins of my entire life.

Today I learned that Heriberto Hernández doesn't just hammer the ball, he also makes very good swing decisions.

Been working on some stuff:
- Radar plots for comparing players via percentile ranks in each stat
- a custom dates aggregation tab in the gamelogs
- pitch comps can be compared across groups (so you’ll see Cris Sánchez’s CH returning RHP SW comps for ex)

I love when people say that measuring something is ‘analytics’ (derogatory) or a ‘bad stat’. Things exist regardless of if we measure them or not; we’re just observing them now. Didn’t realize you were so into quantum mechanics bro

Nobody remembers when it started. There’s rumors of a time the Phillies had more runs than their opponents, but those are only ever whispered in hushed, hurried tones; the city elders have jailed men for less.
All there is now is The Streak. All there ever can be is The Streak.

for his entire career, Jose Altuve has had to fight off an unfairly high strike zone. Until the ABS zone redefinition, that is. On the smallest hitter in the majors suddenly finding himself in a fair fight up in the zone @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

One of the league's smallest players is perhaps the biggest beneficiary of the implementation of the ABS system.

it’s important to remember the rules for opening day reactions. If it:
- confirms something you already thought, it’ll last all year; you have the gift of foresight
- makes you look bad, then it’s just one day in a long season; it’s a marathon, not a sprint
- confirms something you already thought, it’ll last all year; you have the gift of foresight
