Rob Neyer’s Tracker
Rob Neyer latest book. He actually uses my pitch count estimator in one piece (page 60). (I say “my”, but it was really inspired by the data I saw in the STATS Scoreboard.)
Anyway, one of the things I loved about the Bill James books was those sidebar “trackers”, where a player would “remember” something so vividly, and then Neyer or one of James’s assistants would do the research to show that the player was right or full of it. This book looks like this is what it’s about. The above Amazon link gives you a good set of previews. There is no “search inside” at Amazon right now for this book. However… shockingly to me, Google has an enormous amount of the material in preview mode. How does Google get away with publishing copyrighted material this way? Reading everything on Google’s version, they seem to give you enough to make it seem you are flipping through the book at the bookstore, and not so much that you can read it all online. They seem to have found the right balance to make you want to buy the book.
