Hey, SABR hasn't put both its feet into bluesky yet (I know, a lot of its people have) but this is a good time to remind you that the SABR Analytics Conference Research Awards are open for nominations.

When you have a few minutes, please nominate some of your favorite baseball research from 2025.

“Is there a civilized discussion to be had?”

The literal title of the article is “python is not a great language for data science” what is the expected civility?
You know it's gonna be interesting when it starts with, "Yes, I’m ready to touch the hot stove." 😂

I've seen folks missing the base R in the footnote 👀

What say you, #databs #rstats #pydata? /Aragorn voice/

Is there civilized discussion to be had? 🤔

Python is not a great language for data science. Part 1: The experience
It may be a good language for data science, but it’s not a great one.

Based on the latest forecast, here are the projected winds above Wrigley Field at kickoff.

This is at 45 feet (top of the uprights) Field level looks similar, though speeds are a bit lower.

Who will #playthewind best?

Just fyi yall, I retired from content creation and am going all in back to my shitposting roots. So if you’re here for like… data science or neuroscience or whatever… that ain’t me anymore yall.

Like, the only pic of anything remotely data related is this plot of Jon Lester’s pitch mix splits

*opens a window at my parent’s house*

Dad: oh you opened the window? Watch out when you close that window, you gotta slam it down. But don’t slam it because it’s crooked and could mess it up more. You know what, when you shut it, just use the right side to lock the pane in place. It’s fine.

Caio is fantastic. Would be a great opportunity for anyone looking to get their foot in the door in NFL (or team-side sports analytics as a career)
We've got a cool new part-time, remote opportunity with our group. It’s a 10-week project-based Quantitative Research internship (paid) with the expectation of 15 hours/week of work.

We designed this with students in mind, but open to anyone. Apply at link: job-boards.greenhouse.io/detroitlions...
