@BrandonGaudin @scottcoleman55 @HammerTerritory Loved the part about your game prep!

@alexandraandnyc Good luck on your next move!

@jonbecker_ I think the relationship between payroll and winning can be tricky. Teams that have already had success, or believe they are close to contending, may be more willing to spend, so payroll may reflect expectations and competitive windows.

@tangotiger Ego is probably a big reason why. It also seems weird to learn two styles of shooting, but if a player is a very bad free throw shooter, there isn’t much to lose

[Ryan Gavin @RyanMGavin]

@CJNitkowski @braveshomer27 Chase % also doesn’t tell you how far outside the strike zone the pitches are. Swinging at pitches barely outside the zone is probably fine for a lot of hitters.

If you didn’t already own this ticket, would you pay $612,212.95 today to buy a bet that pays $1.715M if the Spurs win and $0 otherwise?

[Pikkit @pikkitsports]

A bettor could turn $2,500 into $1.7 MILLION today if the Spurs win Game 7 🤯

The 4-leg futures parlay placed on February 14th has already cashed on:

• The U.S. men's hockey team to win the gold medal
• The Michigan men's basketball team to win the NCAA Tournament
• The Knicks to win the Eastern Conference

The current cash out offer is $612K but the bettor said he is not cashing out.

@EricBalchunas The characteristics that allow someone to make a lot of money on a market call are probably the same characteristics that make it really hard to stop making market calls

@TheWARmonger_ They won’t change their minds though. The data are irrelevant to them.

@ExpectedChop One of the guys on the @WMoneyball podcast does an assignment with his class where they calculate a payroll adjusted franchise score for MLB teams. I think the idea is to see how well teams have used their resources. It would be interesting to see more.

@JSeyff @btcjvs 24/7 trading will probably be a bad thing for the average investor

[Ryan Gavin @RyanMGavin]

@JDickey1018 @RossDellenger Except he's wrong analytically haha

This is the time of year when a lot of investment firms welcome interns. While our work is geared toward institutional investors, a lot of it can be useful for learning about markets and the investment process. Here are a handful of reports and how they can guide interns:

@CrosbyBaseball Nice play by Tromp to field that short hop too

@CliffordAsness last night the Avs were down 2-0 in the 3rd period and waited until almost 2 minutes left to pull the goalie. They must not have read your paper!

[Ryan Gavin @RyanMGavin]

@choffstein Reminds me of this lol. Congrats on the growth!

[Ryan Gavin @RyanMGavin]

@xwOBA_enjoyer Why is a swinging strike worse than a called strike? Seems like they should be the same

[Ryan Gavin @RyanMGavin]

@b_outliers Why not use Dom Smith? He has a career 90 wRC+ vs lefties, White’s is 67

[Ryan Gavin @RyanMGavin]

@nut_history The first current guy I thought of was Realmuto because he can run
