Im a bit over a third into tracking this year’s OUA women’s hockey season and the expected goal model is doing pretty well. A really “fun” case of regression to the mean at this point.

29 in Philadelphia to 72 in Orlando 🔜 🙏

*Star Wars voice* somehow Taylor Swift returned to number 1 (I’m actually very surprised by this because I wasn’t sure she’d be top 5 at all)

(remember that the point is to win games)

InstaGraphs: Job Posting: San Diego Padres – Intern, Sports Science blogs.fangraphs.com/instagraphs/...

Padres are hiring Sport Science interns. Very important roles for us w/ boots on the ground data collection and application!

yeah you wouldn’t keep em out nor would you surely keep out a team who beat both huh

at the end of the day I want to care about three games: A&M, OU, Arkansas and not worry about how much a quality loss matters

I wish the 12-team playoff did not exist

Hook’Em 🤘

Revellie can’t come to DKR because A&M AIN’T GOT THAT DAWG IN EM

results > process

How soon can Dia Bell put in the burnt orange

it is funny how it’s only ever “this A&M player never got offered / recruited by Texas and wants to prove them wrong” and never the reverse…

sure, the account for a new league having 0 tweets on the day of their “draft” is uh not how I’d do things *personally*

#WPBL NEWS — I asked the PR director for clarity over the use of past tense, indicating that the draft has already happened ahead of the draft this evening. "Correct, the players have already been selected for teams," the WPBL PR director told me. "They are not chosen in real time tonight."

hmmmm I don’t like that I explicitly remember watching the new to the ballot players play, is this what getting old is

Wrote up a little intervention post/explanation for my class about why using LLMs for trying to learn programming (as first time learners!) is bad and detrimental datavizf25.classes.andrewheiss.com/news/2025-11...

the ball does not tell a falsehood

the rules are the rules

The words to describe how much of a loser move to call that a dead ball do not exist

something refreshing about unfollowing someone for writing a 20-grade article on a baseball topic you know a lot about rather than the usual reasons to unfollow someone these days

People ask what they can do in this moment: here's a crucially important election. There are 52,000 elections taking place next month, many of which will be determined by turnout.

Taylor Swift is basically Marvel Studios now. You get a new album every year, which feels a little worse than the last, and it becomes harder and harder to ignore the commercial factors behind her decisions. defector.com/taylor-swift...

Save me $1 Rico Dowdle pickup from three weeks ago, save me 🙏

Taylor Swift is not beating the allegations

my go-to sandwich just went from $8.95 to $9.95 in the last two weeks, this is terrible news

Citi Field, I apologize…I was not familiar with your game. Great stadium.

For the past three years, the city has been giving cash to some struggling renters, no strings attached. The first-in-the-nation experiment has been even more successful than researchers studying its impact expected.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa who woulda thought it

I’m sure I’m going to be stuck beating this drum for three months but it’s a really important distinction that’s California is voting on a new map and Texas is just going to do it

the right spent the early COVID pandemic whining about how they weren’t allowed to do various things because of the virus, then, by scientific magic, our best minds quickly developed a medicine which allowed people to do those things ASAP. and the right decided they hated that too. Still weird

The only way to opt out of this AI bot is by blocking it. Really need people to declare if something is AI.

Using data from @acrossthetimeline.com, I analyzed trade patterns among WNBA Teams and historic franchises as well as the 2025 Trade Deadline moves billyfryer.com/wbb/historic-w…

The Savannah Bananas are not competitive baseball, it's a show and that's more than fine. But it is not a competitive product where winning matters

Bless you @williamfleitch.bsky.social williamfleitch.substack.com/p/volume-5-i...

The missing piece of this viral post is that the Texas officials are lying and deflecting blame. The NWS, hobbled as it is, issued an accurate flood watch for Kerr County the evening before and accurate escalating warnings overnight as the flood was developing.

Manny Machado

rec softball team found out I work for an MLB team a couple weeks ago, which sometimes means I wake up to fun texts like "hey can you explain what attack angle is, I'm seeing it everywhere but it makes no sense"

He noted there was initial resistance to the river trail, with some residents believing it would provide a path for criminals. “People said this is going to ruin the neighborhood,” he said. “In reality, you know what happened? Homes increased in value.”

as an aside, so many coach partners know ball at a high level and are a big part of them being able to do their job. At Texas, we had a couple instances where a wife in the stands spotted someone tipping something before anyone else and we were able to communicate that to the dugout pretty quickly

My press release that our head coach’s girlfriend is still allowed at the team’s football facility is raising a lot of questions already answered by the press release.

Breaking: Falcons DC Jeff Ulbrich has been fined $150,000, 500 Hail Marys, and 250 Our Fathers after his son Jax pranked Cardinal Matteo Zuppi to tell him he had been selected as Pope

I hate the Warriors! Terrorizing my basketball fandom for near a decade

I’ve routinely thought that more (and better) constructive criticism would help this issue. But it was disheartening to see what happened today with such a “shoot first, ask questions and provide evidence later.” Words and accusations have consequences

Archhhhhhhhhhhh
