2008 Stats: Now Updated

by
March 25, 2008

The site is now up to date with 2008 stats and will of course be updated nightly. The new pitch data usually runs a day or two behind and that’s why all the pitchers in yesterday’s game have undefined pitch type and velocity data.

Couple quick reminders:

– We’ll have live win probability data all season long including the all-star game and playoffs.

– The live play-by-play data is different from the data that becomes “official” in the nightly loads, which often causes WPA values to change slightly from those found in the live data.

I’m curious about the WPA effect of Emil Brown being caught between 2nd and 3rd after doubling Daric Barton in in the bottom of the 10th in the opener. It doesn’t appear from the graph that this was separated out from the RBI double itself. According to the Markov model for 2007 from the “Hardball Times Annual”, runner on 2nd, 1 out is worth .743 runs, while nobody on, 2 out is worth .107, so his blunder cost the A’s .636 in (average) run expectancy. However, those figures ignore the inning/score.

Can you give the WPA figure for the A’s if Brown had held at 2nd?
Thanks,
