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

WHY IS NOBODY DOING IT THEN

1.934

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.

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)?

Correct

Average leverage index works just fine for that.

Okay you got home quickly

For some reason I don't believe that I really wrote this.

Simply because I use periods. This is weird.

Can't have too much information

Griffey is playing well. .900 OPS this month. That is all.

by Rudy4three on May 20, 2009 10:01 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

If he goes 0-for-4 tomorrow, that OPS will be .821.

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?

by craig3410 on May 20, 2009 10:05 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

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?
