Great link --- thanks. I particularly liked some of the sidebar stories.

Three or four years ago, I had come across an "umpire's BA" chart. That is, the BA, runs, HRs that happen when a particular ump is behind the plate. Actually, JD talked about it a couple of days later.

I think there is an extra-ordinary possibility that a mathematical model could be constructed where you could absolutely clean up betting the over/under on RUNS. I felt like the guy who discovered card counting in Blackjack, but I never followed through with it. But I'm sure it would work.

I also think managers should adjust their rotation depending on who's calling the plate.
