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.

RESOLVED: MISSCall C0001 — James Wood★
We're saying he finishes like a star: at least +2 WAR from filing through September 27 — a pace only the game's best sustain. He does it, or the ledger says MISS.
The spotlight
Ty France
Ty France's night — 2-for-3, HBP, K, 2 RBI for SD in Game 2 of the NL Division Series — led everyone we track for October 4 at +1.81 runs of value (runs added at the plate vs. an average game). He sits on our MLB Fade Board; the receipts are on his player page.

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.
