Some baseball analysis

I'm a Red Sox fan, and over the years I've played with statistics a bit.

• The most outstanding offensive teams in the American League (Oct 15, 2006)
• There are two versions of the following report, one of which uses OPS in evaluting batters, the other Contextual Runs.
  • Does the uniformity of a lineup affect its scoring significantly? OPS version (Dec 4, 2006)
  • Does the uniformity of a lineup affect its scoring significantly? CR version (Dec 6, 2006)
• The 1967 Season: Yaz compared to the rest of the Sox (Feb 26, 2006)
• Predicting the final record of a baseball team during the season (May 13, 2007)
• Four methods of predicting a team's final record (July 8, 2007) This is a sequel to the previous report.
• Predicting the number of runs a team will score or allow (July 8, 2007)
• How much do winning and losing streaks influence a team's final record? (July 20, 2007)
• How much does one game affect the next game? (Aug 15, 2007)
• No evidence for batters repeatedly "hitting in clutch situations" (Jan 2, 2008)
• The effect of air on baseball pitches (May 25, 2011)
• The older version (Aug 18, 2008) has a different choice for coordinate system.
• A simple example of correlation analysis (March 22, 2009)
  which takes a very simple look at the question, "Which facets of a team's play help it to win games?"
• Hitting streaks, real and not-so-real (July 16, 2009)
  uses detailed, game-by-game records during the period 1954-2008 to answer the question, "who MIGHT HAVE had the longest hitting streak?" I also look for "broken hitting streaks", in which one hitless game interrupts an otherwise valid streak.
• How fast was Ankiel's throw to third? (Aug 13, 2011)
  analyzes a beautiful throw Rich Ankiel made from deep center to third base.
• The journey from mound, to plate, to bleachers (Aug 3, 2017)
  examines at a not-too-deep level the effects of air on pitches and batted balls, and the collision of bat and ball.
