Hello Faithful Readers (Hi, Mom and Dad). Sorry I’ve been away for so long.
First, thanks to Greg for your kind words in the comments section of my last post. Also, I’d like to give a shout out to the fabulous blog, Rollie Fingers. This blog is a refreshing change from all of those stats oriented baseball blogs (including this one, I suppose), in that he likes to take a humorous look at things. It helps that he’s one of the more active (and better) posters on Orioles Hangout.
If you’re wondering why I disappeared for a while, I’ll tell you why. For maybe the first time in my life, I got tired of reading, thinking, and writing about baseball. It didn’t help that things had gotten really busy at work and at home. I had even stopped writing columns for the Hangout – which is something I had really enjoyed doing.
Then it happened. There were quite a few threads on the OH messageboard discussing the Orioles’ roster and Perlozzo’s handling of the roster. Something about those discussions gave me the urge to write again. So I wrote this column for OH on Win Expectancy and (primarily) Leverage Index.
Probably later this evening I’m actually going to add my next post to this blog. It will be a look at how the Orioles are doing in specific Leverage situations.
Thanks, and have a great, dry day.
