TAA 9 - Creating Our Own Game Score
The Approach Angle
Nate Schwartz (@_nateschwartz) and Kyle Bland (@blandalytics) talk about different versions of game score.
They start by talking about the theory behind the original game score, which was created by Bill James. That leads to the second version of game score, developed by Tom Tango, where the two talk about the philosophical differences in what a game score is meant to capture. Then they talk about how Kyle went about creating his version of the game score and what he wanted to get out of it. They extensively discuss the crowd-sourced rankings and how it applies to the letter grades with the pitch cards. Finally, they conclude with ideas for stats to include in a "start watchability" index.
