That Mbappé guy is not that bad. #analysis #WorldCup

My heart was warmed when I saw a lady at the grocery store watching and rooting for #CapeVerde on her phone while shopping for garbanzo beans.  This has been a fun tournament. #WorldCup

The Carolina Hurricanes are MORE than deserving champions. Nothing lucky, everything earned. #SoundTheSiren

Why the fans themselves might be the biggest storyline when putting the #Knicks championship into perspective edwithsports.substack.com/p/why-the-fa...

I know it’s Sunday and there should be either the Stanley Cup Final (singular) or the NBA Finals (plural?) on the TV, but there’s really fun college baseball on right now. #RoadToOmaha

The #Yankees feel differently on the mound this year. More sinkers, different shapes. But, when you zoom out league-wide, they’re not among the biggest pitch-mix overhaulers. I looked at who actually changed their philosophy vs. who just changed arms. 🔗 edwithsports.substack.com/p/which-ball...

Aaron Judge’s rib didn’t break in a single moment. #Statcast data points to something more subtle. I looked at his game-by-game swing speed and swing-path tilt to see how the injury likely evolved over time. #RepBX open.substack.com/pub/edwithsp...

Anyone who met Kyle Busch knew how much he loved his family. After the 2018 spring win at Texas Motor Speedway, he fired off the six shooters and grabbed the trophy…but holding his kid was the real prize. Tonight I’m thinking about Samantha, Brexton, and Lennix. 💔 #RIPKyleBusch

Outfielders are catching more deep balls than a decade ago, while starting deeper & running faster. That’s great for run prevention, but ripe for more injuries. On my #Substack: why modern outfield defense makes safer walls a necessity, not a luxury. 🔗 edwithsports.substack.com/p/why-ballpa...

The nano needle is taking the #MLB world by storm! And which ballclubs do the best and worst job protecting their outfielders from banging into a dangerous wall? On the latest Injury Territory: youtu.be/WgK6i9ejy90?...

#GoHabsGo at #LetsGoBuffalo Game 7 tonight. I like the under, and the data backs it up. 36% fewer penalties in Game 7’s means fewer power plays and fewer goals. Full breakdown on Pine Sports: www.pine-sports.com/blog/10687/p... Original research on my #Substack: open.substack.com/pub/edwithsp...

On this date TEN years ago… #AllForTX #Rangers #MLB

Leicester City won the Premier League at 5,000:1 odds and broke every model we had for how money and talent translate to winning. I wrote about why that story explains where college football is headed in the NIL + revenue-sharing era 👇 edwithsports.substack.com/p/what-premi...

That we haven’t had players win the Heisman, Natty and No. 1 pick until 2011 and now we have four, is a sign our football intelligence has improved tremendously since decades ago. #NFLDraft

Let’s normalize line graphs in sports. #TheMasters

Five transfers starting for a Big Ten team that wins the National Championship is the most “2026 in Sports” thing ever. #Michigan #NationalChampionship

It could be the THE THIRD YEAR #UConn wins the women’s and men’s National Championship in the same year (2004, 2014).

I watched #Kansas nearly blow a 26-point lead last week. The bigger opponent for CBU wasn't Kansas, it was the clock. With help from @inpredict.bsky.social, here's what the numbers say about when teams should stop hunting quick 2's & start hunting 3's: open.substack.com/pub/edwithsp...

Baseball may have started out as a simple game, but it's become a doctorate-level sport. My new #podcast with Will Carroll of Under the Knife is live as we preview #OpeningDay #baseball #Injuries #analytics open.substack.com/pub/edwithsp...

The great @benrobinson.bsky.social from Grinding the Mocks joined me on my #Substack to go over his latest #NFLDraft aggregate board. He had a fruitful trip to Indianapolis for the Combine & gave his honest appraisal of how the event and the Draft could be improved: open.substack.com/pub/edwithsp...

I miss the #WorldBaseballClassic already

I’ve seen enough. Conan should host next year as well. #Oscars

And no @bsky.app, I’m not writing in Korean.

It’s officially “yes you actually do need a three” #szn. #MarchMadness

I think this is an important point. There’s A TON in baseball. While it’s a sign there are some elite thinkers in the space, we also need some reputable resource that tells us exactly how and when to use what, in addition to having it in pretty tables.

We don’t need “less” #analytics in baseball, we need smarter ones...and better translators. I wrote about where the numbers are falling short and how we can update them after a weekend at #SABR: edwithsports.substack.com/p/baseball-a...

In the #WBC2026, there are strict pitch counts: - 65 pitches per game in Pool Play - 80 in the Quarterfinals - 95 in the Semifinals/Championship Let's use that to our betting advantage on Pine Sports: www.pine-sports.com/chat/blog/72...

I don’t have anything too insightful with the ABS Challenge System except it’s really efficient and doesn’t slow the game down very much. Because the pitch clock drastically shortened games, adding a few extra seconds accurately defining balls and strikes is reasonable. #SpringTraining

Apparently no one is more dangerous than a dog-owning intensive care nurse at the VA,,,

Hearing Spanish and highlighting his cultural background made his #Heisman speech one of the more impactful in college football history. Well done Fernando Mendoza! #CollegeFootball #Hoosiers

After Game 2 of the #WorldSeries

Keeping tabs of #WorldSeries pitcher-batter matchups

The @sumersports.bsky.social SumerBrain tool has been tons of fun to play with. It led me to this study about unpredictable run blocking schemes: edwithsports.substack.com/p/does-a-bal...
