So I have a week and a half of daily data now, ready to be presented in pretty pictures. We'll start off with one I call "The Deathspiral" (batting average). Batting average is still very volatile, especially if you get very lucky or unlucky for a few days. Over the last 4 days my team has batted under 0.170. This is a good way to quickly annihiliate your batting average.
Alright, we're going to try linking to Picassa instead...
Right now, homeruns are also very tight. Early on it looked like Caleb my run away with the category, but he hasn't been able to build on his lead since I started keeping track of the stats. The middle of the pack is extremely close right now, with 4 teams within a few homeruns of each other.
Let me know if those links work for you, of if they're protected somehow...

Hmm, those didn't show up as well as I had hoped. I'll try and figure out a better way to get the graphs up on the blog. Embedding them makes them pretty much illegible.
yeah it looks like you can click on them but then they don't blow up. manny finally got back on track tonight but of course joba blows up my ERA. even when my starters pull it together my relievers blow it. lovely.
this stuff actually is pretty interesting. it will be cool to look at this over the course of months, assuming you keep doing it...so stupid that yahoo doesn't have this functionality.
Even though we're getting to the point where a good chunk of the season has gone by, the rate stats are all still extremely volatile. At some point you won't be able to see jumps from one good day, but I wonder when that will be.
