The Overnight

Yesterday’s action through the radar: every tracked player’s line, ranked by night value — per-game RE24, the same run accounting the methodology validates. Box scores don’t lie; they just whisper.

The spotlight

Ben Rice★

Ben Rice's night — 4-for-5, 2 HR, 2B, K for NYY in Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series — led everyone we track for September 29 at +5.31 runs of value (runs added at the plate vs. an average game). He's in the Index — tracked, not flagged — and his page explains exactly why.

The Fever lines

Everyone we track who played, ranked by night value (runs added or prevented, RE24). The chip says why he’s here: a board flag, a filed call, or the Index — tracked, not flagged. Negative is normal — an out costs run expectancy, so about half of any night lands below zero, and zero is an average night, not a bad one. What it means.
