I know when I was a kid there were two distinct feelings. So, I really enjoyed this article. Great value here Dub! Well done! - Pengwin7 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 08:04:58 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3532-home-run-thinking#comment-12507 I'm not a big Radiohead fan (just never got into them), but I'll definitely check out the Pink Floyd stuff. Thanks for the heads up! - duballstar014 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 07:55:37 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3532-home-run-thinking#comment-12503 We'll see how it pans out over the remainder of the season Cory, but personally I think this season's data is more applicable to the final 15-18 games of [b]this [/b]season. Remember, you shouldn't be making a keeper league decision off of this data, only a one-year league since I'm focusing on the remaining games of this season only, not the future performance of every player. - duballstar014 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 07:22:47 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3532-home-run-thinking#comment-12501 For most of these cases, I think this is paralysis by analysis. If a player has shown a difference between home and away stats throughout his career, then perhaps you can draw a conclusion. If a player has only shown that difference this year, then you are simply looking at statistical noise, and trying to predict future performance based on it. You will hurt your team by doing that, not help your team. Because the predictive power of statistical noise is non-existent. - Cory Thu, 10 Mar 2011 07:04:27 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3532-home-run-thinking#comment-12496 Ever listen to the Easy Star All Stars? Your nickname reminds me of them. They do reggae versions of great rock albums, the two I know are Radiohead's OK Computer (album titled RadioDread) and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon (album titled Dub Side of the Moon). Worth a listen whether you are a fan of rock or reggae or both Great article BTW. It's too bad I have Couture, Kesler, and Giroux, and traded away Stafford a month ago. - Ross The Boss Palmer Thu, 10 Mar 2011 04:51:55 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3532-home-run-thinking#comment-12494 Great stuff Dub. It's always nice to know which guys perform better when they're in front of their home crowds and when they're in hostile territory. Getting a balance of players from both situations would give a solid advantage to a play-off run for a savvy owner. Just another fine example of looking beyond the regular stat lines of who put up points on a given night. Looking forward to the second piece. - Hek Thu, 10 Mar 2011 04:13:31 +0100
