CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Intensity is always Tony Cingrani's specialty Cingrani has one speed, and that's going all out By C. Trent Rosecrans GOODYEAR, ARIZ. — Tony Cingrani gets angry every time he gives up a hit. It doesn’t matter if it’s a spring training exhibition game – like the one he will start Saturday against the Colorado Rockies – or against the St. Louis Cardinals. As the Reds’ second-year starter sees it, it’s his job to not give up any hits and if he gives up a hit, he didn’t do his job. That makes him angry – and like a famous fictional character, you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry. “That’s how I get myself fired up. I need to throw harder, so I try to get super angry and throw it harder,” Cingrani said. “I’m not turning green – I’m trying to scare somebody and see what happens.” Cingrani’s intensity even turned into a meme among Reds fans, with the “Cingrani Face” becoming synonymous with an intense, scary mug. Cingrani said he saw that, and even chuckles quietly about it.

In the case of the major league baseball owners again they tried. But try as they might, they haven't been able to destroy the post-season. It all stated in the divisional playoffs when all four games were played at exactly the same time, so that the audience could be regionalized. In the League Championship Series or LCS(which has the ominous sound of a religious cult) the Baseball Network again repeated their minimalist pattern starting both games simultaneously. There was one improvement. When one game ended they switched to the other, and some late inning tension was enjoyed nationally.

  • Unlocking the Smarter Remote Production Opportunity
    A CONCISE GUIDE TO… UNLOCKING THE SMARTER REMOTE PRODUCTION OPPORTUNITY ive TV events, especially sports, create an unrivalledL buzz, anticipation and excitement among viewers the world over, but there are three major trends that the live production sector needs to recognize and address to ensure continued success. The rise in popularity of Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) services is the first, underlining that consumers want more content – and more choice. The second is a greater focus on improved sustainability and employees’ wellbeing. Traditional live production set-ups require huge amounts of equipment and a large crew to be transported to the live location – not to mention several days’ worth of set up and take-down time. Finally, consumers are prepared to pay for fresh content, principally live sports. The trouble when it comes to live content – particularly sports – is that, as the cost of producing more live coverage is driven up by surging demand, it is not being met by the price that consumers are willing to pay. When you add in the rising outlay for hotly contested rights, the pressure is on broadcasters to find ways to produce more content more affordably – without compromising on quality. 1 GOING GLOBAL But all is not doom and gloom. The globalization of TV and rising viewer demand for more choices has unlocked huge potential, growing audiences and prospective revenues in new territories. For example, over the 2018/19 season, around 40 million viewers in North America watched English Premier League soccer (football in the rest of the world), within a global audience of 600 million people across 200 countries.

Chairman’s Letter Thanks to all who attended the Business of Baseball Committee’s annual meeting during the Louisville convention. Some developments from the convention: New Co-Chair. A hearty welcome to Claudia Perry, new Co-Chair of the Business of Baseball Committee. Claudia, who also co-chairs the Women in Baseball Committee, has held numerous SABR offices and is our only four-time Jeopardy champion. In real life she’s a pop music critic at the Newark Star-Ledger. Claudia can be reached at 311 York Street, Jersey City, NJ 07302, or at [email protected]. Proposed Business of Baseball Award. At our annual meeting, Don Coffin proposed that the Committee establish an annual award for excellence in research into the business of baseball. The award -- a cash prize of approximately $200, raised through sponsorship or donations -- would be given annually at the SABR convention. Don and I believe that such an award could raise the Committee’s visibility among academics and other non-SABRites researching in our field, attracting new members and encouraging non- members to send copies of their work to the Committee. Some details of Don’s proposal: • All research published or completed during the previous calendar year would be eligible. • Candidates need not be SABR members, and may be nominated by others or nominate themselves.

He shepherded Saturday Night Live onto the air, then returned as producer to “rescue” the show in the early 1980s. As president of NBC Sports, he pursued several inventive and sometimes risky program- ming packages such as the Olympics Triple-Cast and the Baseball Network. Throughout his career he has been recognized as one of television’s more creative programmers. Ebersol became hooked on television sports when he saw the debut of ABC’s Wide World of Sports in 1963. Later, when that show was shooting in his area, he got errand jobs with the crew. By the winter of 1968 he was working as a research assistant for ABC’s coverage of the Winter Olym- pics in Grenoble, France, and while finishing his studies at Yale, he worked full-time as a segment producer.

To better ank, modified from Pagerank and HITS, to evaluate the pitching evaluate players, we’ve come up with a novel approach, and batting ability for players in Major League Baseball (MLB) inspired by PageRank and HITS [6], to iteratively measure with a network perspective.

Hartsdale Ave., #6EE, Hartsdale, NY 10530-3244, 914-472-7954. E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]. Convention Report The Business of Baseball Committee held its first annual meeting at 8:30 AM on Friday, June 16th, the first full day of SABR’s convention in Pittsburgh. Despite the early hour, several dozen attendees contributed an hour of interesting discussion, including John Holway’s insistence that broadcasters should have a First Amendment right of access to broadcast baseball games. Sherri Nichols won the Most Dedicated Member award for attending not just the Business of Baseball meeting, but the 7:30 AM Statistical Analysis meeting as well, after flying in from California the day before with a five-month-old baby. More than 20 people joined the Committee during the convention -- most notably Larry Hadley, an economics professor at the University of Dayton who told me about a session on baseball economics he’d organized for the Western Economic Association meeting in San Diego in July. Letters to the participants, who also included Donald Coffin and Leon Battista, brought copies of several presentations (discussed below) and also attracted Daniel Marburger and Timothy Hylan into SABR and the Committee. I believe the Committee has much to offer academic researchers, including both access to scarce data and an interested, informed audience for their work -- I hope they’re the first of many to come.
