“The Edmundo Sosa game,” they called it

Props to the Fox broadcast for playing Idles out to the commercial (and to my wife for noticing it)

My latest for @baseballprospectus.com is on the much-larger-than-you-knew 4,000-hit club, baseball beyond MLB's purview, discovery, and hey did you know Robinson Canó is still out there mashing away? Thanks to @adarowski.bsky.social for chatting with me about his extensive and illuminating research.

You ok Wendy’s?

This Eagles game really has it all, sheesh

Remembered some 2000s Cleveland Indians

Defector and Immaculate Grid present: The Guys of the 21st century defector.com/defector-and...

If you've never seen Trent Reznor corpsing during "Head Like A Hole" because he can't believe that a dude dressed like Santa Claus is crowdsurfing—and I'm guessing you haven't—you may want to watch this clip from last night's NIN show in Philadelphia. The fun starts about 1:30 in.

There was this moment in the late 90s when Brookstone & Sharper Image tricked gullible people into thinking cheaply produced, breakable-flimsy silver-plastic, generically "future" coded gadgets were high-end, exclusive "rich dad" tech. That's what the Cybertruck is the ultimate expression of.

It's been at least half a dozen years, perhaps more than @aaronschatz.com @sean-forman.com @frantic.org and I have been talking about partnering around this. So freaking excited to announce it to the public. That's right, @pro-football-reference.com now has PxP and all sorts of new stats back to '78

I’m working on a prototype for which I have this assumption… My assumption is desktop users will prefer to have a vertical in-page navigation system rather than our current horizontal navigation with drop-downs. I have some more assumptions but I figured I’d start with this one. Your thoughts?

On the two-year anniversary of @sports-reference.com acquiring Immaculate Grid, we wanted to highlight some of the interesting quirks that we've encountered—as well as some rules that might need a little clarification. 🧐

When Paul Skenes pitched to Dansby Swanson today—with Henry Davis catching—it was the 3rd time in MLB history that the pitcher, catcher, and hitter were former No. 1 overall picks The other two also came this season: • 5/1 PIT v. CHC: Skenes, Davis, Swanson • 5/18 PIT v. PHI: Skenes, Davis, Harper

Lighting the @mayormccheese.bsky.social signal at this one

Finally got around to something I've been meaning to do for a while and ripped better versions of my old band's albums and uploaded to Soundcloud, enjoy soundcloud.com/rybtp/albums (RIYL Mr. Bungle, circus music, general wackiness)

This post by @dougglanville.bsky.social just might be making me a little emotional. ❤️

EVERYBODY SHUT UP I got to interview Jason Mantzoukas about #Taskmaster S19!!!!! www.cracked.com/article_4641...

Ugh (this is a Phillies post)

be very suspicious of security related email alerts today. SendGrid is currently getting exploited and phishing emails are bypassing Gmail spam protections with valid SPF/DKIM. just got a phishing email about my 1Password account being accessed from China but it was sent by [email protected]

I can’t believe Ken Rosenthai just made the market move

Castellanos grand slam, lemme go check the news just in case

Hallelujah the Hills is the best band not enough people have heard of and this project is awesome.

Since it's opening day, let's play the (perhaps) fun (to some) game of "What MLB stadiums have you been to?" Citizens Bank Citi Field Camden Yards Progressive Field Great American Ball Park Coors Field Petco Park Busch Kauffman Fenway Plus old Yankee Stadium & Cleveland Municipal

That Eagles game is making me regret dry January

Inner Excellence by Jim Murphy

Given the complete meaninglessness of this game I’m enjoying the Giants in give-no-fucks mode right now

We recently created this page that describes what our Summer Internships are like at Sports Reference. If you know any strong Data or Marketing internship candidates, please pass it along to them. It’s a truly unique program that we’re all quite proud of. www.sports-reference.com/internships....

Brain is broken, can’t stop singing Skattebo to the tune of Pixies’ Caribou

A few articles on the history of fair catch free kicks... www.footballarchaeology.com/p/morning-ed...

I am theoretically off for the rest of the year but now I have to check to see if @pro-football-reference.com has properly parsed that fair catch kick tomorrow, thank you very much Jim Harbaugh

2025 summer internship program is live @sports-reference.com come work with us! sports-reference-llc.breezy.hr/p/86bf6851e6...

The jets for the Eagles anthem flyover must have been running early cause they’ve circled my house like 3 times now

This made me laugh so hard I caused my cat to go flying off the bed in a panic.

Pretty amazing the lack of whistle the Sixers get

According to numbers from Stathead, Eagles RB Saquon Barkley has the most yards from scrimmage by an Eagle in a single game with 302. Duce Staley had 262 yards in 2000 in the "Pickle Juice Game" against the Dallas Cowboys.

Game hasn’t started and yet already sick of Gus Johnson

Optimist: The cup is half full. Pessimist: The cup is half empty. Programmer: console.log(“the cup is “ + cup.status());

Somehow despite this team being 3-12 and full of so much stupid drama, this still gives me hope

I don’t care how much the announcers try to tell me the importance of the NBA in season tournament, nobody cares

Created a starter pack for the reference accounts we are firing up here. go.bsky.app/3UCCRbK

Thanks Flyers for winning it at halftime, quality sports timing

🏀 As promised, here's a men's college hoops Bluesky starter pack 🏀 The first offering is a roll call of 68 accounts, some much more college basketball-leaning than others. Dive in and share far and wide. go.bsky.app/TnXWBmf

In the days after this year’s World Series, Baseball Reference player pages underwent a small, but significant, change: For the first time, we've added WAR—or wins above replacement—to the Standard Batting stats table. Read more 👇 www.nytimes.com/athletic/590...

Starting off the morning with Ratatat, as you do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJyK...

Me getting tickets in the offseason: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me on gameday: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.
