  1. Texas A&M almost got Alabama on the mat. Hmmm
  2. I couldn't watch any of this. I expected pain. Glory!
  3. Syd Thrift sounds like a dime store villain
  4. Looks like PRC not happy with US having troops in Former Japanese territory of Formosa
  5. ideal answer for France. Shorter range diesel subs would be fine in Taiwan.
  6. 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.
  7. Dad joke: i’ll bet pittsburg uses it…except that org is notorious for being bad
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. You apply decision science to things and then the people in power dork it up....is that what you are saying?
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. Sunday home jerseys need to be the all whites. I do not see a scenario where I would prefer any other jersey to those. The Stars and hispanic heritage night jerseys are fine. If they want to expand that to include Polish-American jerseys or what not...fine.
  16. Routinely they would try to showcase Cale Iorg in AFL so he'd be picked up in one of Dave's trades for a Cy Young awardee. Meanwhile, if we aren't careful they'll trade Tork for a bag of baseballs.
  17. China does plan to invade. Its not an idle threat. We ...the collective of free nations, have to take action to prevent it. No matter how idiotic Ted Cruz and Lyndsay Graham are...we have to take collective action.
  18. tripwire deployment of US troops
  19. This is really getting a lot closer to actual confrontation
