THE BOOK--Playing The Percentages In Baseball

Great analogy to the MIT blackjack team, about how he as a pitcher tries to get the ball in the location that is most likely to give a good result, just like they try to gamble when the deck is in a situation in which it’s most likely to give a good result.  In either situation, he says, you can make a perfect pitch and still lose, but you’re just trying to control probabilities.

If there is one bright side to his poor ERA (and xFIP), it’s that the sooner he is not playing any more, the sooner he can get in the booth.

"I’m definitely going to write a book about it,” he says.
