It’s great that Netflix, a pay service, instead of ESPN is carrying the home run derby with just as many ads as ESPN would’ve had. MLB loves its fans.
Un-puffed Rice.
Is it finally over?

RAB has an unlocked post on Patreon of Yankee ratings for the first half.
I know we’ve talked a lot about Inherited Runners Scored and the need to quantify it so as to value pitchers better. Ben Clemens at Fangraphs had a couple of great pieces on this a couple weeks ago, basically using the difference between Run Expectancy of a situation and the actual runs allowed (RA9). https://blogs.fangraphs.com/we-should-account-for-inherited-runners-better/ and https://blogs.fangraphs.com/fun-with-re-ra9/

100% and thanks. I imagine most FOs understand this. The Yankees?
Thanks, moderators, and my apologies for what became a redundant post! I guess this post and its parents can be deleted.
