Which makes me think:
Couldn’t you use the total distance traveled of the the win expectancy chart as a measure of how back and forth or how smooth a game is?
That would be one way to measure it, yes
by Jeff Sullivan on May 20, 2009 10:01 PM PDT up reply actions
I wonder what the largest total distance in the history of MLB is
Also, highest number for a playoff game. Would that be on fangraphs?

Nope
Nobody keeps track of this statistic.
by Jeff Sullivan on May 20, 2009 10:32 PM PDT up reply actions
In fact this may be the first time it's ever been used in the history of the world

My doctor wants someone to track this
So we can correlate it to my blood pressure.
Also, what would the bare minimum possible be? Is 0.5 theoretically possible (score 10+ runs before the first out in the first)?

For some reason I don't believe that I really wrote this.
Simply because I use periods. This is weird.
Ostrich eggs
Are the largest bird egg in absolute terms; the smallest in comparison to the size of the mother.
So, trying to figure out WE charts...
would like a 1-0 perfect game only go in one direction and never the other?
Like, no bumps, just a straight line up to the top or bottom right?
It would go down every time one of our batters makes an out

I like the assumption that we're on the receiving end of the perfect game.

Actually the assumption would be that we're on the winning end of the perfect game
our WE would still slightly dip each time our hitters made an out, so it wouldn’t be a line straight up

Aha, misread that.
Not nearly as funny that way.

Pitching duels are cool and all,
but the most exciting part of this game was the runner who made it all the way from the 3rd base seats to the 1st base seats without being caught, and the security guy who totally ate it trying to chase him down in the middle of the field. They finally caught him going up the stairs on the other side of the stadium. That took some finesse. Anyone know what the actual consequences are for that? Spend the night in jail? Big fat fine?
They invite you to the Mariners special night of hell: Cheezburger night.

Should we craft a giant banhammer and bring it to the game and see if we get rally fries for it?

Did I miss something in the gamethread?

I wish they'd show this stuff on TV
Instead they pan away, call the perpetrator an idiot and act as though they’re ruining the game. But when you’re actually at the game that stuff is awesome.
Exactly.
It’s the spice of Mariner life.

Is this the first time the M's have stayed on the upward scale and haven't dropped below the 50% mark all year?
by Seattle Rodiners on May 20, 2009 11:18 PM PDT reply actions
NOPE. 4/28, 4/25, 4/23 also had a skyrocket chart that didn't go below 50.
I guess I just forgot what that feels like. It also seems weird that the Mariners had a 90 percent chance of winning the game so early on … when they only had a one-run lead. I mean … this IS the Mariner.
by Seattle Rodiners on May 20, 2009 11:24 PM PDT up reply actions
Buh?
The Mariners didn’t eclipse a WE% of 90% until the ninth inning.
by Jeff Sullivan on May 20, 2009 11:26 PM PDT up reply actions
I guess it's just a matter of perception vs. statistics.
The chart never believes the game was doubt. But as a fan … well … I was nervous for quite a while.
by Seattle Rodiners on May 20, 2009 11:29 PM PDT up reply actions
No it doesn't
It just means the Angels were never likely to win
by Graham MacAree on May 21, 2009 6:46 AM PDT up reply actions
That is an amazing picture.
This was a great game. If we can win tomorrow and salvage the series maybe our season won’t be over afterall.
How dare you be optimistic!
We’ll have none of that here, good sir!
Bye, Jeffie!

I had a great time at this game.
I sat next to a fellow LL’er (BrettJMiller) and we basked in the glow of Ichiro’s awesomeness and our mutual Torii Hunter hate. Great game.
Did Brett scream his god damn head off at anybody tonight?
by Seattle Rodiners on May 21, 2009 12:32 AM PDT up reply actions
Torii Hunter and Garry Matthews pretty much.
Oh, and the umpire. A lot at the umpire.

This is not what I needed to see in the morning.

Why do you hate Mark Lowe?
He gets no love on the WE chart?
Whoops a doodle
+9.5% for Batista, +11.9% for Lowe
