I have several threads on my blog on Game Score.  Most of the relevant links are shown within the blog post here:

http://tangotiger.com/index.php/site/comments/path-to-game-score-2.0-part-3-of-3

The entire logic and thought process is there.

If you were to ask Bill, he'd never think that a method he developed 30 years ago was intended to never be improved upon.  I took great care in doing so.

MLB.com and Fangraphs have adopted this version.

The only dispute is the name, whether keeping Game Score was the right thing, or whether I could have chosen a different name, like Pitching Score.  Since the basis of what I did was Game Score, I thought it was more honest to keep that name.  This is like Bill always using "Runs Created" each time he improved it.  He didn't come up with a new name.

I told Bill what I was doing, and he didn't object.  He didn't necessarily give me his blessing, he simply didn't respond one way or the other.  I really doubt Bill cared that I reused the name, as long as what I did was good enough.  Bill said 30 years ago he can't do this alone.  I'm just here to fill in the gaps.

 

Thats excellent. Thank you Tango!

Orioles: "Hey, Bundy is pitching extremely well on an extra day's rest."

Also Orioles: "Let's pitch him on normal rest just to see what happens."

Edit: I am wrong, Palmer said it in the broadcast and I didn't double-check"

 

Well you're not completely wrong. Today was a day game. If the rest thesis is true--and the stats so far are not clear about it--then an extra six hours of recovery and pitching in the afternoon sun should matter.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
