The Latest from the AngelsWin.com Blog - AngelsWin.com Podcast Show - March 11, 2013

Sabermetrics!  The new lens with which many view the game of baseball!  

So ummm … what is it?  What are all these new stats and measurements that GMs and commentators are using to evaluate the players we love (and hate)?  Does it sometimes seem like you need to be a rocket scientist to figure this stuff out?  Well, it feels that way to us too sometimes.  So we decided to bring in Robert Cunningham, AngelsWin.com member and real life rocket scientist, to help us make sense of this stuff.  

Join host Geoff Stoddart and AngelsWin.com founder Chuck Richter as they talk with Robert about how pitching stats like WHIP, FIP and xFIP apply to the the Angels staff.  Do the changes that Jerry Dipoto made to our starting rotation during the offseason make sense?  Is the marine layer actually going to be our friend this year?

Guys, give this one a listen to if you're into the modern day stats or you're old school wanting to learn about them. Robert teaches us about these new stats and how they pertain to the Angels hitters/pitchers.

Robert did a great job last night!  I'm anxious to have him dive deeper into other sabermetrics stats throughout the season!

Thanks for the kind words and I plan to sharpen it up more in future talks. A "rough" first start but that's what Spring Training podcasts are for I suppose?
