An introduction to advanced baseball metrics, one stat at a time. Mark and Andy investigate the meaning and history of advanced baseball stats in an effort to shine some light on the "new" ways of evaluating players.
Mark and Andy are joined by special guest Kirk McKnight, author of The Voices of Baseball: The Game's Greatest Broadcasters Reflect on America's Pastime to talk about the newest edition of the book, as well as the usual assortment of baseball statistics, odds, and ends. McKnight brings to the episode a wealth of knowledge about MLB's teams, players, and stadiums culled from dozens of interviews with the broadcasters baseball fans have come to know and love. McKnight indulges Mark and Andy in their advanced stats-inclined views on the game, and even joins them in a lively round of Roll The Stat, in which the participants guess the career strikeout-per-nine rates for pitchers who became broadcasters themselves after they retired. Just like the book itself, it's an entertaining and informative way to spend some time that any baseball fan would enjoy.
