Our education system failed anyone that thinks moneyball is about walks and homers instead of market inefficiencies
Moneyball wasn’t really about certain stats or analytics.
It was about finding cheap players who were cheap because the league didn’t properly value their skills.
In moneyball it was OBP/walks, plus focusing on statistical production rather than how a player is supposed to look
There are infinite flavors of moneyball, and they’re constantly changing

Two years ago, Jake Bauers told his agent he was retiring. His wife would return to teaching while he stayed home with their child.
Three days later, she told him she was pregnant. He returned to baseball for the health insurance.
Tonight, he hit the go-ahead home run in the NLCS.
What a story. What a swing.

Mexico’s fight for independence is the triumph of a people determined to shape their own future.
Today, I was proud to be the first New York City Mayor to march in Sunset Park’s Mexican Independence Day Parade alongside a community that has fostered cultural pride across generations.
Mexican New Yorkers are at the heart of our city and its fight for a better future.

keep in mind his networth is 120mil, so he used approximately 18% of his net worth to do this and actual BILLIONAIRES cry over the idea of a 3% tax increase to fund stuff like this.
THIS is the real life Bruce Wayne.
Christian Bale has officially opened a $22 million foster care village in Palmdale that he helped create.
The village includes 12 homes designed to keep siblings together while in foster care, with programs offered there to ensure support & stability.

Luis Arraez's first 8 seasons versus Tony Gwynn's first 8 seasons
They aren't even close.
Anti-analytics guys have to find a different poster boy for the "analytics HATE X", because they certainly don't hate Tony Gwynn
They’re never gonna live it down as long as I live. Hypocrites and opportunistic charlatans, all of them.

Since we're talking about Ted Williams theories on hitting again, here's a little nugget from a 1986 Sports Illustrated interview where Ted, Don Mattingly and Wade Boggs sat down together to talk hitting:
WILLIAMS: I tried to hit every ball I ever hit in the air, and I made more outs on the ground than in the air. Wade, I know you make more outs on the ground.
BOGGS: I popped up twice all season. But to me hitting the ball in the air means hitting a line drive, and I hit far more balls in the air.
WILLIAMS: Why do you think [Carlton] Fisk hit so many home runs last year? Because he hit the ball in the air more often.
MATTINGLY: I want to make more outs on the ground. I think I've got a better chance of getting a hit.
WILLIAMS: You know what they would say about Don Mattingly. We'll give him the hit. How many doubles did you have? Triples? Homers?
MATTINGLY: Forty-eight doubles, three triples, 35 homers.
WILLIAMS: They weren't on the ground. That's where your production was, so why hit the ball on the ground?

As a non Christian, I am outraged that this is being forced down my throat.

Following the game, fans can enjoy faith-based music, pray with the O's team pastor, hear player testimonials, and more!

Joey Votto's explanation of how difficult it is to pull the ball in the air is exceptional. Fly balls and line drives to the pull side have a .584 batting average and 1.313 OPS this year, so more and more players are being encouraged and taught to do it. But it's not easy.

Phillies auction winner calls the 3rd inning on the radio... and did a pretty great job
Top of the 3rd...
All but 5 starts he’s gone 5 or more innings. 10/21 starts he’s gone 6 or more. Assuming they didn’t give up much for an arm on an expiring deal, this is exactly the kind of pickup they needed.
The Padres are closing in on a trade for Giants lefty Robbie Ray, sources said. @JeffPassan was on it.
