Maybe a long shot but is anyone who follows me here capable of endorsing me to upload to stats section of arxiv ?

@lephysichien.bsky.social degrom changeup, very stable

i made a website for my new fielding win probability stat, with a leaderboard & individual play breakdowns :) situational-fielding.streamlit.app

had to delete a tongue-in-cheek devin williams hate post cause it reached 1000 likes. critical support to the only screwballer in the league even if he refuses to recognize that he is

we should have a double first base but not with all of those weird college rules, just treat it as one big base

my simulations agree that jazz’s sweet spot is shifted down, but nothing crazy!

we’re so back

oh no, more correct calls. can’t let that happen

my quick and dirty averaging of 6 projections together and testing out different fielding alignments says that the red sox gain a more than a win by putting bregman at 2nd, campbell in left, and pushing ceddanne to the bench, compared to any alignment that keeps ceddanne in the lineup

something interesting is that minimum in the energy. for any speed of the sweet spot, the pivot which generates that speed & minimizes the kinetic energy will always be the same spot. I did the lagrange multipliers, it’s always a distance I_com/(m(x_swsp-x_com)) below the centre of mass

more neat bat-ball collision stuff if two swings have the same reported bat speed on baseball savant, but one has a higher pivot point to its rotation, that one will generate higher max EVs (and it'll do so slightly farther up the barrel)

got the $10 to fangraphs paypal notif in the middle of reading this

btw i call this guy Cori, because all the rotating frames of reference

because i haven’t posted it here yet, this is something i have been working on and got “working” recently, the flow of energy through body segments during a swing. i don’t trust it’s totally correct yet but it’s something like that, and looks pretty cool

i’ve honestly kinda perfected doing the right hand rule with my left hand and fucking everything up for days

@tangotiger.com this is how i got the swing plane. i said that the normal vector is the cross product of these two vectors which i figured must live in the plane and should work even for weird bat motions (i think)

long thread time. i set out to answer a question and the result wasn’t *nothing* it was just, nothing does the comfort of knowledge make up for the lost time? no this is a thread about squared up rate, why it’s inherently biased, and how (if you would please consult the graph) that doesn’t matter

was watching a presentation where the guy was introducing the early work on a topic with a screenshot of a snippet of a paper, but then said “that’s the whole paper by the way”

fuck you breslow

i don’t know how i’m gonna survive when i don’t have access to this super computer anymore because i just requested 2TB of ram for a job and it started running within an hour

the dbacks gotta change the recording you get when you call the ticket office calling themselves “the 2023 national league champion arizona diamondbacks” it’s embarassing

having read the vanity fair piece i somehow get the impression that despite it all, the essayist is more humbert humbert than cormac

just had a many hour debate because the software documentation says this when it’s literally not true

huh

i want to do a hall of fame ballot too but i’m putting it off because it’s gonna take a long time to google each guy to see if they’ve done something bad recently

postdoc who works with hydrogen energy materials just shared this paper in the slack

11am dunkin $6 meal deal

i’ve been generating a bunch of water-water interaction data recently and my favourite thing has been ionizing it and watching the protons diffuse around

would’ve been really funny if instead of fixing camden normally they built a really tall wall like 37 feet or something

atmospheric air density reference i decided to make cause of the rays moving to steinbrenner. i haven’t sanity checked the movement numbers at all, but this is bluesky i don’t need to do that

my prediction is that soto is probably gonna love the sox’s meeting so much that he’ll decline all his future meetings and sign with us in the next 2-3 days

gel nail from like literally only a week ago just came clean off ???

sometimes my collaborators send me a manuscript draft that is so bad i don’t even provide any real comments on it i just say “it’s nice” and let it be someone else’s problem to fix it

“this piece from patrick is a perfect example of what i think is great about BP” is just a true statement no matter what the piece is

starting a new bit where i dont post any baseball content here any only post my scientific research but in the shiny app + blog post format

i kinda need money really bad

what a man

i have the most functioning reproductive system in the world. i could pump out a dozen or more children in a week

weird coming back to this app after over a year cause losing like 15-20 pounds didn’t hit until i saw this

my header here is linda ronstadt btw. and if ur a twitter oomf that’s who’s my pfp over there. it’s linda with lain’s hair edited on. no one has ever mentioned that it’s lain even tho it’s been like that for 2 years

whitlock hard hit rate is so bad

turned off all languages but this 19th century conlang and this is the only post i can see now

got boots :)

this could be literally anyone i know

broken mirror selfies r back c:

inviting blanchard here cause i think he’d like to observe a lotta yall

i should inv carabbis just to make stuff interesting

any of my 25 followers going to the dbacks mets game on july 4th ⁉️⁉️
