I don't know about interference and dropped third strikes - they certainly occurred, but I doubt many batters reached base due to them.iblemetricianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247503051718359682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78882386564802057.post-60808360813068577122007-10-08T20:56:00.000+02:002007-10-08T20:56:00.000+02:00Love the fact that you're tackling this.Yes, I thi...Love the fact that you're tackling this.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I think the major reason that your Runs and RC numbers aren't syncing up is because of the errors (and HBP, to a certain extent). Times on base is more than just H+BB. You might also look to include catcher's interference and dropped third strikes if those things happen a lot in the IBL (I have no idea).<BR/><BR/>With BaseRuns, it's very likely the the B term deserves different weightings. And once you add in the errors (etc) that you're missing, you could just apply a multiplier to the B term to make BsR exactly equal to actual runs. That's sort of cheating, but would be the best route if you're looking to get custom linear weights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
