The Washington Post is updating a win-probability graph in real time as part of its coverage of Nationals games. No summary of how much each player affected the game, however. Hat tip to The Nats Blog who’s also tracking something similar to WPA for every Nationals game.
Studes has a new version of his WPA spreadsheet available for download. The input sections are all the same, but the backend has been reorganized to make it more obvious how the calculations work. Best of all, a full win-probability table is included that can be modified for different run-environments.
SI.com has an excerpt from The Book discussing use and success of pitchers for three-run saves. Nothing ground shattering, but an interesting read. I’ve yet to order my copy of The Book, but I’m really looking forward to it.
Here’s a blog that’s attemptingn to track and present WPA totals for all Tigers games this year. He’s falling behind a little bit, unfortunately.
