Tommy's Reviews > The Book: Playing the Percentages in Baseball

as a baseball guy and a math guy, this book was GLORIOUS! The appendix of mathematical techniques used, and some descriptions why, truly puts Tom Tango in a class of his own. The stats were used well and when stats were unavailable he used simulations. And the piece de la resistance: Game Theory at the end of the book! He took into account bluffing, strategy, and how they affect the usefulness of various techniques. I could literally not ask for much more.

As a clarifier to the book, this book examines baseball strategy and situations and is not an attempt to rank or project players in any way (a la Bill James).

Absolutely wonderful! Tom Tango is great! An absolute must read for anyone who considers themselves a serious fan!
