@tangotiger @tangotiger Really interesting, but I think inning-score does sometimes matter. To take an extreme example, if strike three is called against the losing home team in the bottom of the ninth inning, they should challenge 100% of the time.

@jasonfurman @nytopinion @jasonfurman Do you think part of the divide is increased spending from high-income households while lower-income unemployment rises? (e.g., https://t.co/1wjrJTr22C)

HSAC featured in @AdamMinter's Bloomberg opinion this morning. Check it out!

"'Teams that are top-heavy tend to have worse winning percentages,' explains @meron_ben , a recently graduated member of HSAC who contributed to the analysis."

@jasonfurman @jasonfurman Why do you think real median household income has declined from 2019-2022 while real GDP has risen?

[Ben Meron @meron_ben]

@jasonfurman What are your thoughts regarding the divergence between real median household income (which declined in 2022) and real GDP per capita (which has been increasing)? My first thought was inequality grew, but the Gini index declined in 2022.

@tangotiger @tangotiger I think OAA is great. But does it take into account the quality (scooping ability) of the first baseman? I would imagine that infielders throwing to better first baseman make more outs. I’m not sure whether DRS accounts for this either.

@tangotiger @darenw Could the catch probabilities for every outfield play be added to the gamefeed dashboard on baseball savant? Or is there another place already where we can find the catch probabilities of individual plays? Thanks!
