Peter's Reviews > THE BOOK - Playing The Percentages In Baseball

I haven't quite finished this one, but as I get into the later chapters, I find my interest waning. I think I will finish it, though, some day.

Part of the reason why I've had to put it down is that I started having gut-wrenching flashbacks to writing my thesis. All this talk of statistical significance, assumptions, p-values, predictive power... makes me realize that the authors probably have about as much faith in their work as I did in mine. It's a curse. The more you learn about a topic, the more you realize you don't know. So, I guess now I can set-up the perfect line-up, as long as all my batsmen are perfect spheres in a vacuum.
