New reference section added to sidebar
It's over there on the left, below the links to the other SBNation blogs. Currently there's only three entries, but I hope to eventually have a glossary of statistics. What else should be over there? Let me know.

I dont know if these should be included
But Jeff did a good explanation on BABIP, things like that I think are helpful.
FIP, I dont know if an explanation was ever given on that. Win Shares, any other terms that are thrown around often, but not common knowledge as sportswriters dont include these figures in there everyday analysis.
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.

Yay!
How handy!

"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
Yes on Cots contracts for sure
The THT page is good, but there are plenty of new stats that I throw around pretty often, anyway. tRA, UZR, and WAR + WAR value aren’t on there because they are stats from different sites.
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.
I had hoped to make our own stat glossary
There’s only a handful I see consistently used and undefined – FIP, KUG, ERA/OPS+, etc.
I don't specifically articulate my motives, because that wouldn't travel as well as a boo does.
We have one of these, too!
Starting with the theory, then the initial formula, then a revised rate formula, then expressing it differently, which is where we are now.
