Nate Silver: Saves, Goose Eggs, and Bullpen Usage
« on: April 17, 2017, 01:25:46 pm »
Very interesting article: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/goose-egg-new-save-stat-relief-pitchers/

I think the Astros and Chris Devenski are breaking new ground in this area.

No. Returning to old ground. See Face, Elroy.

Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

Devenski would have 9 of these Goose Eggs so far this year in 11 IP, just in case anybody wanted a count.

Yes.  Sometimes the best new ideas are abandoned good old ideas!
