This would especially help us math problematic people like me verify that I am doing the formula(s)correctly.
Also....if we all learn to do the formulas correctly could we not each pick a few games each day(if possible)and post our results,thus cutting down on time for each one of us.Of course I understand that some might like to do all their own games or not post at all....which is ok too.My thinking behind this is each participant when availble could pick a few games out of todays lineup do the analysis and post the results.All that would be required is to post your games you will do on this thread before proceeding with your analysis so we don't all do the same games.
Then post your results (and thoughts about the game,if you like)on the thread before game time.

The objective of this thread is to 'document' the success ratio of the Base_Runs / Runs_ Created formula's in experimental form. Anyone using BR/RC systems as their handicapping base, are welcomed to post any games, or totals as they wish; to indicate the continued success ratio proposed in this experiment.
The Base_Runs formula is published for anyone who is interested in applying it to their handicapping form/skills. if there's a problem with understanding the application of sabermetrics to MLB stats, then I strongly recommend that one get in touch with it's innovator, Tom Tango @ tangotiger.com or it's inventor, David Smyth, who, along with the formula, are located @ the Wikipedia link, published at the conception of this thread...
This thread is not powered to teach, or handicapp games for others to bottom feed off it's success; however, I do, and will continue, to answer all questions that are none repetitive, pertaining to BR/RC formula's...either within the thread or PM..as a common courtesy, and out of respect for one's interest in my work...
Your suggestion has merit, and I truly understand your ideology, I can only recommend starting a seperate thread pertaining to the education of applying the BR/RC formula's... thank you for your concern, if there's anything I can do in your behalf, please feel free.
