A Game Score is derived by factoring the quality based on runs, hits, HR, walks, strikeouts and quantity innings of a starting pitcher's performance. Although James' and Tango's Game Score formulas lie in great parallel, they also diverge in ways that cause Tango's version to be slightly more linked to a pitcher's talent level.

When teams averaged 4. Run production fell by 3. The easy reaction is to look at the use of a five percent less lively ball as the reason for the offensive decline. There may be something to that, although the preliminary evidence seems to suggest that the average home run ball is flying about feet, virtually the same distance as last season. The truth is that offensive production is off across the board. Not only is the MLB batting average down 11 points from its historic lows, but the.
