Today I put in a long day at the baseball stats factory, writing an article that included the initialism "BLTR". Cracked open my mailbox, saw the paper of record had come, and was scandalized to find the following

Onion article headlined "Baseball Analysts Call for New Stat Called B.L.E.P.H" that quotes a fictional FanGraphs contributor named Derek Gardner

If it is something I feel like I would want to share or something that would be difficult not to, I will confirm first and work out a plan or a full nondisclosure. I know people who share with partners are out there but I also find it wild.

In fairness when I was graduating from HS and a recruiter asked me if I had a better plan than the military I said I was attending MIT and he said “yeah that’s a better plan” and that was that

Nope! The new category is just whatever is lying around in extra tossups. But your suggestion has merit to it anyway and is for sure part of the thinking.

The tiebreak is a new toss up question so neither leader knows who would win it. And I mostly agree with you for third but no one knows what the wildcard threshold because they aren’t allowed to watch each other’s games. But Alison’s possible totals would generally be expected to be too low.

110

TK Focht (John Focht) @tkfocht.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

The link is out of date because the rules for ties have changed (and never applied in tournaments anyway). Because all ties are now broken, optimal play is either zero OR everything. Alison being under half and tournament level FJs argue in favor of 0, but the wild card slot argues in favor of all.

TK Focht (John Focht) @tkfocht.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

Because of you do this and the other person in the lead is right and bet anything more than zero, you lose even if you were right. It’s betting, and most contestants’ instincts are to bet on themselves. In this case it’s also A right move (zero is also A right move just not the only one).

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

Maybe invert it so the music starts (and comes in gradually) when the time is up? I think this depends on how precise the time block needs to be defined.

Realizing that Heated Rivalry has wrought upon my brain the Game of Thrones problem: The name of an individual volume is now more well known than the book series title and my brain will be forever rebelling against using the individual title for the series even if it makes communication clearer.

Am I being crazy or does this have to be a reference to this being based on the book GAME CHANGER by putting in Dropout’s GAME CHANGER motif??? #HeatedRivalry

Basically every baseball game has something happen in it you haven’t seen before/in a long time, you never get away from this want for an explanatory buddy - or to be mutual explanatory buddies with someone

There are consecutive games because otherwise pitching is extremely different rather than just different - traditionally starters pitch every fifth day (roughly) and it can be shorter but they’re less good when it is. Putting games close together is how baseball emphasizes team play and depth.

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

Oh yeah I fully understand what you’re doing and why and agree. The ones I mentioned though are 100% on every station because they are part of the show itself (they’re even burned into the streaming platform versions!) and those ad dollars aren’t associated with Sinclair.

Since Jeopardy is syndicated this indicates no relationship with the network whatsoever

FYI the promotional considerations and closed captioning - anything Johnny is announcing - are ads within the show itself and someone working with Sony rather than your local station owner
