New Medium Post: Part 2 of the FG blocking series as the #NFL season starts. This time focusing on edge FG blocking challenges and how 1 play turned the edge block on its head. Thanks again to @StatsbyLopez and the NGS team for '22 #bigdatabowl data. Link👇medium.com/@matan_k/the-impo…

What is up with the Truist park grass? The OF especially looks like a disaster

The amount of terrible clock management and other strategic decisions at the end of that game was mind boggling. The Stupidity Bowl

1-2? They don’t make undefeated teams like they used to

Tbh, if someone totally missed last season and you told them those were the 2 SB teams, they wouldn’t believe you.

The worst case outcome for your favorite draft sleeper (or even 1st rounder) is not an average big leaguer. MLB players are *very* good at baseball.

What does the 3D axis look like (already on here)? How does that relate to the pitch’s movement? What does the axis of a comparable normal gyro look like? How would you get from A->B Are there other effects etc…

If people are wondering why/how Imai’s gyro slider goes arm side , it might be helpful to think about why a normal gyro goes slightly glove side.

Or if you’re more picky: Caden Connor Joe Ryan Jackson Merrill Kelly Austin Davis Martin Maldonado

Caden Connor Thomas Henry Davis Daniel Robert Mitchell Parker Carlson Reed Garrett Ramsey David Leon Hunter Gregory Allen Facundo Velasquez

Why did the Patriots not go for 2?

Another working theory is that he’s just the best defender 🙂

There’s no such thing as field goal range

Come apply to work with a great team of data scientists at the Pirates!

Considering I’m only logged in to Fangraphs on my phone, this is a little scary.

I still remember when Gruden thought that the Browns should draft Jamal Adams instead of Myles because he didn’t think MG tried hard enough or something

90+ mph bat speed?

Well, the Blue Jays struck out just 4 times vs 11 for SEA, so at least they won the John Smoltz aesthetic 🏆 for game one

Most recent game was pretty interesting. As someone who plays the Caro-Kann (poorly) with black, getting a grip with b4 and knights controlling c5 is often a very frustrating positional clamp: chess.com/analysis/game/live…
