True, but this is is looking at *only* appreciation of the investment. Are we to believe the Dolans never paid themselves anything (analogous to dividends in this comparison) over the course of their ownership?

*sigh* folks,,, always check before posting to a family website smh

Someone asked recently about public code for creating a stuff model. Nick Wan has some that he did live at Saber Seminar here: github.com/nickwan/24-s... And TJStats has his stuff code posted publicly here: github.com/tnestico/tjs...

Less importantly I also updated the code to include these plots just because they were fun to recreate from Baseball Savant (their dataviz team is so so good) github.com/sbrown70/exp...

ICYMI, some code for clustering pitches and calculating movement vs expected. Check it out and- more importantly- check out Nick's Kaggle competition for predicting Ks using arm angle

Last weekend I went to Fair Park and took some pictures of some enduring Art Deco architecture, and then I wrote about it (and the weirdness of going to the fair when there isn't the fair). witchhazelphoto.beehiiv.com/p/empty-buil...

My initial thoughts on an approach, with a mix of DDZ from @choicefielder.bsky.social, our Arsenal Metrics work at @baseballprospectus.com, and a little bit of GMM clustering. I'll upload the code to kaggle in the coming days, but in the meantime here it is on github. github.com/sbrown70/exp...

I will not once again be fooled by Kelenic having a hot spring training

if where a pitch is aimed changes how it moves, can stuff and location truly be separated? i wrote about it for @fangraphs.com

the plotting team was in their bag with this piece. particularly the tasteful fill_betweens www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

We'll soon have many public versions of DDZ. A reminder that Max laid out the methodology pretty well here: dynamic-dead-zone.streamlit.app

New socks (was supposed to be a Valentine’s gift from Shelby but the shipping got delayed so I just got them today)

See comment 1 and 2 as an update to this thread below: tangotiger.com/index.php/si... Thank you to @srbrown70.bsky.social for the idea to pursue

a bunch of folks who claim to support meritocracy defend systems that are *very clearly* not meritocratic www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Steve makes an excellent point as to how we should define Early/Late. At the moment, I took the easy (wrong?) way out, and set a line parallel to the front of the plate, but individualized to each batter But, I've thought about a line that is more natural in terms of the swing, which is ... 1/2
