Radar gun claims. .

if we have the lead. and we do.

The million dollar question is "will we have the lead"

by meercatjohn on Aug 27, 2009 3:03 PM PDT up reply actions

Could have put in Martin and had Martin bat 8th, too.

84.8%

by Xeifrank on Aug 27, 2009 3:03 PM PDT reply actions

does having jon broxton raise the %

then like having someone like kevin gregg..

by matthewmafa on Aug 27, 2009 3:03 PM PDT up reply actions

Yes, I’m sure it does. These are empirical numbers, but in most cases a closer is in for the leading team, so it won’t change much with Broxton. My guess is add another couple percent.

I thought

that WPA was based on historical results and was context sensitive and not player sensitive.

So even though in reality your odds of winning with a runner on second and Pujols hitting are probably better than if you had Juan Pierre hitting WPA has no way of knowing the quality of hitter or pitcher and only the historical probability of a run scoring.
