Coasting and rising to the occasion

By Tangotiger, 11:08 AM

An interesting piece of information from BE Press, via Phil. Like Phil, I wouldn’t focus so much on the HFA, but rather on the quality of the teams. In baseball, I don’t think you have this situation of coasting, but I’d like to see the data on it (after controlling for the quality of the batter/pitcher).
