One of you sabre boys needs to give me a metric that quantifies the volatility of runs scored in an average game for a team with high homers and strikeouts versus a team that puts the bat on the ball and gets on base. Beta, maybe?
We're the worst in that metric, whatever it is. Like Potter Stewart, I know it when I see it.

Tracy McGrady, former NBA 7 time all-star, 2 time scoring champ, pitched his first pro game yesterday at age 34.
2 hits, 2 runs, 1 ⅔ innings.
His defense looked like they were trotting all Dan Uggla's out there.

Why can't anyone ever post cool stuff like this in the endless stats thread?

Don't have the attention span for something "Endless". You can thank video games.

Don't bother, it's just a thread full of numbers and abbreviations. Pretty durn boring .
Most all of them should just say DFL after each category for Atlanta anyway.
If I'm reading this correctly, Heyward has hit the ball "hard" 26 times and has gotten a hit 15 of those times. If he wasn't soooo unlucky and hit the normal .700 on those balls, he would have 18 hits. How much better would his stats looks with 3 more hits? I'm not even going to bother....
Instead I would worry more about the fact the Heyward only has 26 "hard" hit balls in 158 ABs, for a WHAV of 0.165. How far down the first list would that number be? According to the blurb that is a below average value for a non-pitcher.

I'll bother: .234/.326/.342, estimating—somewhat conservatively, given his base-running abilities—that two of those additional hits are singles, and one is a double.

Fixed.
OK cool, so "normal luck Heyward" should have an OPS of .668. Can we stop with the luck excuse now, and focus on the fact that he can't handle velocity on the inner half and rolls over most pitches on the outer half?

I still think it's too early in the season to be making those sort of totalizing proclamations.

It is, but he scuffled like this last year.
Maybe the wind just blows in for the first few months of the year in ATL
he also turned it around and had a good offensive year. the only thing we have truly learned is that jason is streaky.

Meh. He hit well for a while. No telling how the season would have ended either.
Right. He probably would have sucked ass the rest of the season because he couldn't possibly sustain what he had been doing. He's been a wrc+ 120 or better hitter in 3 of his 4 seasons so far but the odds are he wouldn't sniff that if he had continued to play last year without getting hit in the face. Makes sense to me.
