Does anyone know any of the more advanced Sabrmetrical formulas or where to find them? Baseball math the only kind of math i really like.

[MJHMarc]

I don't know what you are talking about.

I'd check out your local library, firefrozen.

Maybe if you explain it, I might know some bits and pieces.

Firefrozen, I don't really know where you could find advanced Sabrmetrics, I mean I don't know how deep it goes. There are some sites that delve deep into this type of math, but I believe you need to pay for membership.

Are you looking for stuff on sabrmetrics or sabermetrics? Two different baseball maths, if I'm not mistaken.

MJHMarc, this sums up sabrmetrics.

You can always check out Baseball Prospectus for moneyball-esque stuff.

SABRmetrics is an invention of the Society of American Baseball Research, is it not? Wouldn't their website be a good place to find the ins and outs of it? I don't have the link handy right now, but you should be able to find them pretty easily on any search engine I would think.

Their website calls for enrollment I believe...I have been there and I think for the heavy duty stuff you gotta join.

Having said that, you can always scew math to say what you want it to say...I rather keep it to the stats that are accepted and debate the different eras endlessly.

The one i am looking for is SABRmetrics. I believe the basis of this was the runs created formula. The problem is that all these sites charge pretty high fees so i was hoping someone would just be able to copy and paste.

If anyone can help i would appreciate it. If not thanks anyway.

[MJHMarc]

Gee, it looks pretty cool.

Sorry, I can't help. But I will try to find out for you!

Couldn't find much, but see if these sites help:
What is Sabermetrics?
Sabermetrics - The Baseball Archive

Interestingly enough, there are even college courses on SABRmetrics. Weird, huh?

EDIT:
The formula(s) for runs created can be found at http://www.new-territory.net/baseball_stats.txt
Also try Runs Created, Runs created - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and THT Glossary.

Thanks alot lefty the Baseball Archive site was good. I didnt think that this stuff would be so hard to find. But i guess people guard the formulas in order to keep an edge in fantasy baseball.
