Liked it better on first read, perhaps because it's clear that baseball's management has acted on this analysis and I don't much like the results. Downgraded my rating accordingly.
A very technical book on more than one level--it's heavy on both math/statistics (real statistical analysis), and there's a lot of discussion of strategic and tactical baseball (lineup construction, pitch selection, pitcher usage, situational analysis, and such-like).
It seems fair to point out that some of the analysis parallel's Earnshaw Cook's in Percentage Baseball. I suppose you could anticipate that, actually.
I *really* recommend reading a paper copy. The tables in the Kindle version are essentially unreadable.… (altro)
