When do MLB players peak—and can missing seasons distort the answer? This JSM 2026 presentation uses multiple imputation to account for players who leave the game, producing a more accurate picture of how offensive performance changes with age. #JSM2026 #SportsAnalytics

No team can struggle in 2026 because they use analytics because everyone does. They may struggle because they used analytics *poorly* but not for the simple fact they use analytics.

I like to distract myself from the terrifying political news by reading the ridiculous political news.
Ms. Wilkins, the daughter of a financial specialist in the aerospace industry (her mother) and a global consumer products executive for Gillette (her father), had lived in London and Switzerland, and for a time attended elementary school at Collège du Léman in Geneva. She is originally from the Boston suburb of Weymouth, but likes to emphasize her time living in Arkansas.
"There are just some things the limousine liberal will never understand from the coasts," she recently wrote.

In announcing the Pentagon’s agreement with Scouting America, the defense secretary assailed the group for welcoming transgender children but stopped short of saying they would be denied entry.

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

He’s absolutely right that prisons and other detention places were bad under Dem presidents. And know what today’s critics of ICE did then? Complain abt it and demand change. Is this just a lame deflection, or do GOPers like this genuinely not understand that not all ppl put party loyalty first?

Today is the 52nd anniversary of the release of "Blazing Saddles," the plot of which involves business and political interests leveraging ordinary people's bigotry in an effort to obtain power and financial gain. People like to say that that movie couldn't be made today. Shit, we're living it.

I would guess it's because hockey is such a random sport so it's harder to gain any advantage. Whereas in basketball, the better team has a much bigger advantage.

So the other thing to keep in mind is that these are based on betting markets. So these are something like "perceived" park factors or something like that. But generally the collective betting public is pretty good on average.
