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.
