From an NBA biomechanist. If anyone claims to be able to predict sports injuries, they're selling snake oil. I'm confident we will never be able to do so.

Every year is weird in its own distributional way but "all of the teams are the same, except for Colorado, who have the mandate of heaven"

the main reason to buy cheap coffee is it tastes bad but gets the job done. the main reason to buy expensive coffee gear and specialty beans is it tastes bad and it's your fault. once again everything comes back to catholic brain or protestant brain

Just came in last night, my hockey analytics work is officially published!

Successfully ate a hot chicken sandwich without ruining my white polo. Great day

I spun up a web app that’s designed to show how different NBA players score (or don’t score) points on a given game or across the season, using an xFG% model and an xFTA model based on shot location. Enjoy! nba-scoring-chart.streamlit.app

This is the first time 4 games have been played in the first 3 World Series games.

The ole "We're going to catch him stealing, so the intentional walk is actually an out" move. Galaxy brain stuff

Really excited to share this new paper on "Data Visualizations as Propaganda", co-led by PhD students Priya Dhawka and Nina Lutz, which just won a Best Paper award at the CSCW conference: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... [Short thread]

Alright, World Series prediction based solely on regular season runs scored and allowed: Dodgers (lighter blue) are 57.2% favorites, even as the lower seed

OMG MARTY NECAS

Blue Jays did their homework. Julio has been swing-happy all season when facing righty breakers down-and-away

Sigh

Good morning Mariners fam It’s a great day to stamp our ticket to the World Series 🔱

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

Don’t know why they added Bluetooth in the new updates, but I can’t argue with the increased performance

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

I've lost track of the number of times I've said to students something isomorphic to "it's not that you're wrong, it's just that if you keep thinking about things like this you'll never get to where you're right"

Many are saying this

The theme of tonight’s game is: Split happens
