The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:26, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Short description|Baseball statistic))
((Refimprove|date=December 2007))
'''Base runs (BsR)''' is a [[baseball statistics|baseball statistic]] invented by [[sabermetrician]] [[David Smyth (sabermetrician)|David Smyth]] to estimate the number of runs a team "should have" scored given their component offensive statistics, as well as the number of runs a hitter or pitcher creates or allows. It measures essentially the same thing as [[Bill James]]' [[runs created]], but as sabermetrician [[Tom M. Tango]] [http://www.tangotiger.net/rc2.html points out], base runs models the reality of the run-scoring process "significantly better than any other run estimator".

==Purpose and formula==
Base runs has multiple variations, but all take the form<ref name="auto">((Cite web |url=http://tangotiger.net/wiki/index.php?title=Base_Runs |title=Base Runs - Sabermetrics |access-date=2015-04-21 |archive-date=2015-11-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151103055953/http://www.tangotiger.net/wiki/index.php?title=Base_Runs |url-status=dead ))</ref>

:<math>((A * B  \over B + C)) + D</math>

Smyth detailed the following forms of the statistic:

The simplest, uses only the most common batting statistics<ref name="auto"/>

'''A = H + BB - HR'''

'''B = (1.4 * TB - .6 * H - 3 * HR + .1 * BB) * 1.02'''

'''C = AB - H'''

'''D = HR'''

An offshoot includes significantly more batting statistics<ref name="auto"/>

'''A = H + BB + HBP - HR - .5 * IBB'''

'''B = (1.4 * TB - .6 * H - 3 * HR + .1 * (BB + HBP - IBB) + .9 * (SB - CS - GIDP)) * 1.1'''

'''C = AB - H + CS + GIDP'''

'''D = HR'''

A third formula uses pitching statistics<ref name="auto"/>

'''A = H + BB - HR'''

'''B = (1.4 * (1.12 * H + 4 * HR) - .6 * H - 3 * HR + .1 * BB) * 1.1'''

'''C = 3 * IP'''

'''D = HR'''

Other sabermetricians have developed their own formulas using Smyth's general form, mainly by tinkering with the B factor.

Because the base runs statistic attempts to model the team run scoring process, a formula cannot be applied directly to an individual player's statistics. Doing this would result in a run estimate for an entire team that puts out the individual's statistics. A workaround for this issue is to find the team's base runs with the player in the lineup and the team's base runs with a [[Value over replacement player|replacement level]] player in the lineup.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.tangotiger.net/rc3.html |title=How are Runs Really Created - Third Installment))</ref> The difference between these values approximates the individual's base runs statistic.

==Advantages of base runs==
Base runs was primarily designed to provide an accurate model of the run scoring process at the [[Major League Baseball]] level, and it accomplishes that goal: in recent seasons, base runs has the lowest [[RMSE]] of any of the major run estimation methods. In addition, its accuracy holds up in even the most extreme of circumstances and leagues. For instance, when a solo home run is hit, base runs will correctly predict one run having been scored by the batting team. By contrast, when runs created assesses a solo HR, it predicts four runs to be scored; likewise, most [[linear weights]]-based formulas will predict a number close to 1.4 runs having been scored on a solo HR. This is because each of these models were developed to fit the sample of a 162-game MLB season; they work well when applied to that sample, of course, but are inaccurate when taken out of the environment for which they were designed. Base runs, on the other hand, can be applied to any sample at any level of baseball (provided it is possible to calculate the B multiplier), because it models the way the game of baseball operates, and not just for a 162-game season at the highest professional level. This means that base runs can be applied to high school or even [[little league]] statistics.

==Weaknesses of base runs==
From the [http://www.tangotiger.net/wiki/index.php?title=Base_Runs TangoTiger wiki]

"Base runs adheres to more of the fundamental constraints on run scoring than most other run estimators, but it is by no means perfectly compliant. Some examples of shortcomings:
* Base runs will sometimes give a negative estimate; this happens when the B factor is negative.
* Base runs will sometimes project many more than three runners left on base per inning, despite the fact that three is the upper limit. For example, if walks have a B coefficient of .1, an inning with 10 walks and three outs will yield an estimate of 10*1/(1+3) = 2.5 runs, meaning that 7.5 runners must have been stranded.
* Tangotiger's research found that BsR overvalued events within the .500-.800 team OBP range

One avenue for possible improvement in the model is the scoring rate estimator B/(B + C). There is no deep theory behind this construct--it was chosen because it worked empirically. It is possible that a better score rate estimator could be developed, although it would most likely have to be more complex than the current one."
