@gehrig38 And yet batters were platooning even when you played. If you constrain pitch variety you run into scouting reports. You can only adjust so many ball paths that miss bats or hit the zone. If you turn yourself into a 2 pitch player you are going to platoon whether you bat or throw
@MrBaseballRadio@JustBB_Media@DevineGospel High speed cameras and statcast are the true analytical innovation in my opinion. Everything before this was rearranging the same counting stats. Maybe it makes a different game though, I don't know
@sports_god1@JustBB_Media@DevineGospel I agree batting average on balls in play is a great means of measuring outliers or regression. xBA is also a decent baseline
@JustBB_Media@DevineGospel It's not for the players, it's for the fans and managers. They have never needed analytics but they've also all been beaten by it

@dwallacewells I think they just used barebone parallax or motion effects but used an Ai workflow possibly native to an industry app like After Effects. All they had to do was layer out human subjects and it would have been a routine special effect we've seen on many sports broadcasts
I’ve been capturing 3D human motion for 30 years and today is maybe the biggest day in that history. We are presenting MAMMA at CVPR (oral session 2A). MAMMA is a markerless multi-camera system that has accuracy similar to marker-based systems.
@KrantiKumara1@DavidNorthWSWS Literally all of our cultural and aesthetic values wither in stature to the influence of chemicals on healthcare, child development, rehabilitation or the development of neurological disorders that impact parents and classrooms and pedagogy priorities. Let alone new fetilhes
@KrantiKumara1@DavidNorthWSWS Temperance is more anomalous to the history of civilization than the consumption of mind altering substances. All the gender norms wearing tights and wigs then completely conforming to Italian fashion in a few decades. Through all the abandonment of family and conservatism.
