Jon Singleton to the rescue.
Blanco continues to impress.
Stress Index
The goal is to capture the stress put on a pitcher, rather than just a number of pitches.
The calculation is really quite simple: Number of pitches x aLI, where aLI is the average leverage index.
Second highest stress of the season from a starter (Verlander, April 25).
The Game Turned When
Top 1, 1 on, 2 out, 1-0 Astros. Jon Singleton homered (Fly). Jeremy Pena scored.
Astros win probability went from 57.7% to 74.8% (+17.1%).
