Happy Friday. Here's a new visual that I'd like to take for a spin today. It's pretty simple, plotting a team's trajectory over the last five seasons in terms of runs scored and run allowed. Here's a sneak peek at a team that has been heading in the wrong direction for several years. During the next week I can share more AfterGlow visuals as a way of previewing MLB's eight playoff teams. A simple "more" will do...
Big fan of this—can’t wait to see it for other teams.
Also, didn’t know anyone was still using Chicago as a typeface anymore.

Cool. Basically a time series of the runs scored/allowed graphic I use in the Graphical Report and THT Annual. (Buy yours now!)

Anything combining baseball and Tufte is a good thing. More!

Does it adjust for the league wide decrease in offense?

Love it. Think it should cover more years, though.

@Detroit Michael: I would assume the stats are adjusted for league and park, so yes (even though the decline in offense from 2009-2010 isn’t really out of the ordinary).
