Posted in Baseball, MLB, Statistical Analysis on September 30, 2010 | 5 Comments »

Despite leading the American League in just about every meaningful statistic, Felix Hernandez has hovered around the .500 mark all season.

Ken Burns’ Baseball anthology went into extra innings last night when the long awaited “Tenth Inning” was broadcast on PBS. Some of the early reviews of Burns’ latest take on the national pastime weren’t too kind, but the general consensus was that although unremarkable, the Tenth Inning is definitely worth watching if you are a […]
