Watching the Jays@Rangers.
Ump John Tumpane is refusing to call strikes in this one, especially when the Rangers (Moore, Perez, et al) are pitching.
Thing is, these pitches are nowhere to be found; borderlineage is absent.
This game, alone, is going to distort his strike% to suggest him to be an 'over-ump', but this game appears anomalous.
Just makes me think of all these stats that try to normalize for 'luck' and other non-quantitative (imo) factors. Bill James and others helped bring to light many important baseball statistics that both launched the fantasy baseball subculture and also helped us handicappers and our adversaries, the oddsmakers. I've found that a number--e.g. OPS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-base_plus_slugging are useful and predictive, while others become a matter of disregarding the k.i.s.s. rule.
Just some words on the 'capping nonsense and anyone reading such title might wanna throw in some 2 cents on sabermetrics or whatever metrics they use in handicapping.
Hendrix bless the empty-net goal.
How the funk does Vasilevsky allow 5 goals vs the Sabres?
(me hold puckline, -1.5 ...minute-13 to go...7-5...)
