Nada. I know everything about baseball, especially the terms like E-5 (error committed by the third baseman). I'm basically a walking baseball encyclopedia. I'm also extremely arrogant.

 

arrogant? nah... :)

i'm glad you know the terms - it makes the game a lot more fun and definitely more interesting. But I remember when i was just a little yankees chicklet having to ask my dad to explain everything....

I think it will be good to have a point of reference.

 

I'm a little unclear as to the specific methodology employed in figuring DIPS (individual stats employed and the formula itself). I'd also like to know where you get data for BA/RISP.

Incidentally, MLB.com does offer a useful stats explanation page.

 

cpt, you're right about the mlb page - it is pretty informative and has all the basics. wikopedia also has a decent "dictionary", as does baseballreference.com

what I'd really like to do is go a bit more in depth, rather than a straight "E = Error" glossary. I want to explain the whys and the strategies and the reason certain things are important. I'd also like to have memorable examples of the terms "in action".

 

I was going to brew a pot of coffee, but that last comment woke me up.

Chicks and baseball. This is truly the best blog on the Internet.
