Testing Pythag
Brackenthebox takes a look at how many wins are gained by adding and subtracting 10 runs to teams with various levels of runs scored and runs allowed over at Viva El Birdos. His conclusion:
For good teams, however (ones that score more than they allow), a run saved is actually more valuable than a run scored (blue region). In contrast, for bad teams, a run saved is less valuable.
I've asked him to test PythagenPat also, to see if there is a difference.

This is obvious and can be figured out using mental math.
Not exactly interesting stuff here.

With that attitude, linear weights isn't interesting
Everyone knows a home run is better than a single, what’s the point?

Linear weights gives you the most accurate representation of offensive production available.
It’s not “interesting” per se, but it’s useful.
This is none of interesting, useful, or beyond middle school mathematics.
