@mike_petriello Two questions for you
1. Why do Fangraphs, Baseball Reference, and Baseball Savant all disagree about the number of PAs which had an 0-2 count at some point during them? Using 2024 as an example: Fangraphs says 39,965 PAs, BRef says 39,480, Savant says 39,529
Finally got around to starting my blog which is (for now) focusing on a sort of Sabermetrics "tutorial" series.
The first article (on OBP) is out now, with new articles weekly. There's also a "prelude" article which outlines the basic structure

@tangotiger another WAR question. Basically a shower thought. Some people criticize WAR for giving 0 credit to pitchers for defensive value. And, to some extent, they impact the defensive value of fielders by increasing the number of opportunities a player receives.
Could a WAR implementation give a pitcher a share of their defense's defensive runs based on their groundball and fly ball rates? Essentially giving them credit for pitching for their defense.

Is it cheating if I post a sabermetrics library article? This article is easily one of my favorites because I find myself using it often if I'm ever calculating wOBA or need to be reminded of how something works. A close second is the wRAA/wRC+ article.

Thread: Something being overlooked with the amount of arm injuries recently is the fact that a huge number of players now throw @ moderate to high intents close to year round. When I first came into professional baseball in 2012 as soon as the season ended I usually wouldn’t

MLB made a scoring change in the July 16 Red Sox-Cubs game:
Wong’s double in the 5th has been changed to a two-base error on Hoerner. As a result, the five runs charged to Justin Steele in the inning are now unearned.
Steele’s season ERA is now down to 2.46.

It's not trade news, but a source tells me Cubs top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong is being promoted to Triple-A Iowa. He's crushed Tennessee of late and really taken on the challenges player development have given him. 150 wRC+ with 11.9% walk rate since May 23. – at Skokie, IL
