He started all of the momentum in the 10th. He was 62nd in the league in hitting on 1 and 2. The rest is history. Congrats Cubbies, the Indians are moving to Florida. Thanks Rachel Phelps.
Hi folks. Harry Doyle here — with my pre-game analysis for the final match up the 2016 MLB World Series. Lots of graphs and maths. A bit long, but so is the season.
Guess who is 6th in MLB for first pitch strikes? Henrdicks, however, tonight he is a bit off his stuff, but has not yet paid the price. As I type he escaped another jam in the 4th with strike a out on 3–2.
Hendricks converted a pickoff attempt for the fourth time this season in his 74th try. And… as I type Ramirez is almost picked off by Contreras. And another check as I type.
6 outs into the game and the Cubs are leery of the Cleveland’s base running…
Good evening folks Harry Doyle here and welcome to game 3 of the 2016 Major League World Series.
Tonight will surely be an epic evening for Cubs fans. I was getting tweets from my Chicago friends early this morning as they were already…
Hi folks, Harry Doyle here. During the long plane ride from Cleveland to Chicago I decided to abandon the DataFrames, scatter plots, and Vaughn score calculations to dig into some basic stats.
Total domination by Arrieta — until he got lifted in the 6th.
As I analyzed prior to the start of game 2, if Arrieta showed up and Bauer got knocked around it would be a long night for the Indians.
As I talked about in the pre-game notes — if Bauer were to struggle by putting pressure on himself (by falling behind in the count) — things were not going to go well.
