Reasking: are umpires biased?
Remember that statistical study last summer that found evidence that major umpires are at least somewhat racially biased when calling balls and strikes? If you’re like me, the math was too much to digest. Luckily, Phil Birnbaum hasn’t continued to investigate the study and his latest post on the subject finds much less conclusive evidence.
Dave Studeman was called a "national treasure" by Rob Neyer. Seriously. Follow his sporadic tweets @dastudes.
