Juicing The Numbers

Every sport has at least one; some feat incapable of being replicated or broken. Today, Corwin and Josh go over a few of their favorites and discuss whether or not there is any possibility of these "unbreakable" records ever being broken.

The conclusion of our set of three episodes covering what stats we find to be most important when evaluating teams and players in the NFL. In this episode, we will talk about NFL defense with a touch of special teams. This discussion will cover both individual player stats as well as team defense stats.

Corwin, Josh, and a guest visit from Josh's college friend Dan go over perhaps the most boring, dull, and uneventful Super Bowl of all time. 

In this episode, Corwin and Josh discuss the ability NHL teams have of willing themselves an extra skater by removing their goalie from net and it's advantages and disadvantages. When should this be done, is it worth it, and how much of an advantage it is? Find out and give us a shout!

In our longest episode to date, Corwin and Josh dive deep into each division within the MLB to talk about the moves that each team has made, how that effects that organization, and where we would project team's would be in the 2019 playoff hunt.

We're back to trying to decide what statistics matter when discussing the NFL, and this time we're talking overall offense. Wide receivers, running backs, tight ends; what numbers actually matter when trying to evaluate talent/efficiency/skill when looking at players in our National Football League.

Welcome to the first Monday episode!  For Mondays, Corwin and I thought it might be nice to do a few non-analytic episodes so that we could talk about current events in sports (or answer listener questions/comments), while saving our analytical episodes for our standard Thursday release schedule. Today we're talking NFL Coaching Turnover as Fire/Hire season is coming to an end. 

In today's episode, Corwin and I talk MLB team revenue and what you can do with it. If you've ever wondered how much one Win Above Replacement (WAR) might cost, how to gain surplus value out of players, or why the Marlins are the way they are, then tune in and check it out!

With all of the stats in the world of football, we take time to look just at those devoted towards grading QBs in the NFL. We discuss which stats we value and why, going into detail about what we see as being the most important traits for a QB to have in today's NFL.

Jumping right in! In the first full-length episode, we dive into how a hitter's overall performance (captured in the stat wRC+) compares to his positional peers and what can be taken from that. How does this affect roster construction? Free agency? Trades? Find out!
