Its going to be an interesting game and I don't think I'll be able to watch it live because it might kill me. I'm emotionally invested for sure. State having a good offense is scary. We've overcome a couple of tough roadies. Nebraska had their backs up against the wall. We took over Jump Around in Wisconsin. What that means for State? It means we are better on the road than we've been. That's all. Godspeed Jim Harbaugh and coaches to get us a game plan for this year.

State has an emotional advantage?

So you had them 9-3 before the season?

Putin got "Civil Wars Coming" trending overnight.

Trump might have been reelected if he had won Republican voters in the suburbs.

I wonder if all the hints about Ted Lasso and Jim Harbaugh might be indicative that Harbaugh was dealing with mental health issues for some period. He appears to have his mojo back.

Texas A&M almost got Alabama on the mat. Hmmm

I couldn't watch any of this. I expected pain. Glory!

Syd Thrift sounds like a dime store villain

The Pooh bear does.

Looks like PRC not happy with US having troops in Former Japanese territory of Formosa

ideal answer for France. Shorter range diesel subs would be fine in Taiwan.

One of the other coaches on my daughter's softball team apparently grew up working for the Pirates during the Leyland years. Says they continue to have a reputation for deliberate stupidity since that time.

Dad joke: i’ll bet pittsburg uses it…except that org is notorious for being bad

that’s true

The interesting thing about that. The US keeps turning on its AIS systems to alert China to the fact that our boomers are in their back yard.

howdy

I wondered about that. I saw some note about it on twitter but no link. Is clear he has no future in the Tiger org so long as AJ Hinch draws breath.

Does not surprise. My gut reaction to anything like this is that the monks in their data monastery or the data guild workers who control an industry need to throw up barriers to the peasants to make their career field more lucrative. OTOH, i don't how R works. More power to them if they can create value with it.

Shy bigot syndrome

KL2...check your Buffalo Billism

You apply decision science to things and then the people in power dork it up....is that what you are saying?

The req itself indicates someone isn't just waving their hand asking for magic to happen. Someone in the chain of hiring has an idea at least of what is required. Interesting how far they have come in 5 years.

There are 3 other job reqs on Fangraphs for the Tigers. Job Posting: Detroit Tigers Director of Baseball Data Infrastructure | FanGraphs Baseball Job Posting: Detroit Tigers Full-Stack Software Engineer | FanGraphs Baseball Job Posting: Detroit Tigers Baseball Operations Analyst Roles | FanGraphs Baseball

The requirement or desired qual to be solid in 'R' is a significant differentiator. Hiring against that req has been hard in my line of work.
