The Retro FanGraphs Sweatshirt is back in stock!

We partnered with the clothing brand Ellsworth & Ivy to make these retro-themed FanGraphs sweatshirts. They have fully stitched chenille lettering and a stitched logo near the bottom hem:

As a quick reminder, when we put these up for sale in January, they sold out in 24 hours. So get yours before they’re gone!

Over in the RosterResource corner of the site, Jason Martinez and I get a lot of suggestions for things to add, none more popular than something to the effect of “Can we get a way to look at all 30 teams at once?” And now you’ve got it, with the Roster Grid. This was a popular feature in the pre-FanGraphs days of RosterResource, and now it’s back and better than ever:

The view defaults to all 30 teams, grouped by division and stacked (i.e., you’ll scroll down to see more teams), but using the toggles you can customize your viewing experience to:

• Flip lineups from the team’s “go-to” vs. righties to their “go-to” vs. lefties.
• View just a single league or division.
• Switch to a “packed” view such that all of your selected teams will be in a row, allowing for scrolling from left or right (this may be your preferred view for mobile).

This view isn’t meant to replace the main RosterResource pages, which include full 40-man rosters, notable minor league players, lineups, bullpen usage, and statistics. Rather, it’s a quicker “at a glance” view of who’s currently active, versus on the IL, Paternity List, Restricted List, Bereavement List, or Family Medical Emergency List. And for Members, it’s exportable to Excel!

Feedback is welcome and much appreciated, so if you think we’re missing anything that could be incorporated into a future edition of the Roster Grid, please leave a comment!

And of course, as always, thanks to all of our readers and Members for your support. We couldn’t have made all of the additions we have to RosterResource this year without you.

Last week, we released a baseball simulator in the FanGraphs Lab. This week, we’re adding home field advantage to the simulator. You can toggle HFA on and off using a new menu option:

The chosen home field advantage will then be applied to whatever simulation you run. But how do we calculate home field advantage in this simulated environment? Let’s go over it. Read the rest of this entry »
