NEWS RELEASE Oct. 7, 2014 Contact: Kathleen Forhan Phone: (618) 304-4186 Email: [email protected] It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year! Cardinals win National League Division Series ST. LOUIS– For the second time this post season, the St. Louis Cardinals managed to come from behind to clinch the National League Division Series title. For the fourth year in a row, the Cardinals advance into the National League Championship Series with making history in mind. Winning the series was certainly a team effort. The Cardinals were mediocre throughout the regular season, but fought for their lives to survive the postseason race. “While our efforts were fierce throughout the season, the flame did not ignite for our team until September. Wins started wracking up and we knew the post season was in plain sight,” stated Matt Holliday. With leaders like Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright, and guidance from Jose Oquendo and Mike Matheny, the potential for success is great. “When you look at the Cardinal’s longstanding tradition, players who have been through here, and great things guys have done, this group should be very proud of themselves,” Matheny states. The Cardinals hold an honorable reputation in post-season play, and fans hope the team’s potential stands true throughout October. The Cardinals will face the San Francisco Giants in the next round of the playoffs. The team will be tested to determine their standing in the World Championship running. The next post-season series begins Oct. 1 at 7:07 p.m. CT at Busch Stadium and will air on the Fox network. # # # .

Baseball: a U.S. Sport with a Spanish- American Stamp

Summary: The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of the Spanish language and the remarkable contribution to Major League Baseball by Spanish- American players. Keywords: baseball, sports, Major League Baseball, Spanish, Latinos Introduction The purpose of this paper is to highlight the remarkable contribution made to Major League Baseball (MLB) by players from Spanish America both in terms of © Clara González Tosat Hispanic Digital Newspapers in the United States Informes del Observatorio / Observatorio Reports. 016-12/2015EN ISSN: 2373-874X (online) doi: 10.15427/OR016-12/2015EN Instituto Cervantes at FAS - Harvard University © Instituto Cervantes at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University quantity and quality.1 The central idea is that the significant and valuable Spanish-American presence in the sports arena has a very positive impact on the collective psyche of the immigrant community to which these athletes belong. Moreover, this impact extends beyond the limited context of sport since, in addition to the obvious economic benefits for many families, it enhances the image of the Spanish-speaking community in the United States. At the level of language, contact allows English to influence Spanish, especially in the area of vocabulary, which Spanish assimilates and adapts according to its own peculiar structures. Baseball, which was invented in the United States during the first half of the nineteenth century, was introduced into Spanish America about thirty or forty years later.

Analyzing Managerial Efficiency in Major League Baseball: A Sabermetric Approach Jebediah C. Clarke A Thesis Submitted to Department of Economics Skidmore College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for a B.A. Degree Thesis Advisor: Joerg Bibow May 3rd, 2016 Abstract Modern statistical analysis has allowed for teams to more accurately measure Major League Baseball player performance. However, other than tracing wins there are few ways to track the performance of on-field managers whose strategies, decisions, and expertise fundamentally influence the outcome of each game. I begin this paper by investigating and critiquing prior empirical analyses that have attempted to quantify the effect of managerial skill on team performance. Using Stochastic Frontier Analysis and data from the 2008-2015 MLB seasons, I expand on previous research by calculating managerial efficiency estimates while including control variables that better objectively measure player performance. I find that the least efficient managers achieve winning percentages that are around 80% of what is possible, given their players’ talent level.
Twar: Introducing a Method to Actually Calculate Wins Above Replacement

tWAR: introducing a method to actually calculate wins above replacement Daniel J. Eck March 21, 2019 1 Introduction Wins above replacement (WAR) is meant to be a one-number summary of the total contribution made by a player for his team in any particular season. As stated by Steve Slowinski of Fangraphs, WAR oﬀers an estimate to answer the question, \If this player got injured and their team had to replace them with a freely available player of lower quality from their bench, how much value would the team be losing," where this value is expressed in number of wins [Slowinski, 2010]. That being said, nobody actually calculates WAR in a manner that properly answers the above question as posed. This is not by any explicit fault of the metric and those who calculate it. One problem is that it is impossible to simultaneously quantify the value of a player when the player is available and the value of a replacement to that player when the player is unavailable. The player in question is either available to play or unavailable to play, never both. Instead of confronting the problems raised in this factual-counterfactual world, people have attempted to calculate a hypothetical replacement player to implicitly compare every player with using the machinery of a proprietary black box [Baumer et al., 2015]. Three widely used versions of WAR that are calculated in this manner are Baseball Reference's bWAR [Reference, 2010], Fangraphs's fWAR [Slowinski, 2010], and Baseball Prospectus's bWARP [Prospectus, 2019]. Through the incorporation of ideas from causal inference, we propose methodolody to directly estimate wins above replacement.
