Petriello didnt have in his list of times that teams used the opener the new york yankees in which they used frequently over the course of 2019 season, using Chad Green. Great vid.
So starters have the QS/HQS stat; Relievers have the Hold stat; and Closers have the Save stat. How would you measure an opener's success in their opening? What name would you give this stat?
I’ve done a few videos on this in the past...

The game is changing, moving into a more data driven direction...all good. With that being said, why are proponents of the use of analytics not being fully transparent when it comes to their application to the game? Discussing the use of the opener without addressing the labor implications/suppression of wages is disingenuous at best.
Great comment man, this is definitely a HUGE topic of discussion when it comes to this topic. My goal in the video was to discuss what this strategy was, if it works and why - the logistics behind making it a feasible long term solution at the highest level is important, but didn’t find a place in the introductory video here. Perhaps a topic for another day, thanks for the comment!
@@SimpleSabermetrics thank you for the response. I enjoy the content as it is helping me transition from old to new school. Looking forward to learning more. Thank you for the content.
I love the innovation of the Rays. This is a great video, maybe it will deserve an update after a couple years!
Absolutely! It’ll be interesting to see how the game continues to change, always new strategies being put into play.

Very good point, that must’ve been overlooked. Thanks for catching that!
How does it feel working for PSU, but competing against your alma mater in the same conference?

Video idea: cover the anomaly that is the BABIP of the 2020 Reds
That would definitely make for a fun video - thanks for the recommendation, Brett!
Well done!
Thanks for the comment, Shane!

First
I hate the opener!
openers hurt the bullpen
