I'm extremely excited and blessed to announce my commitment to play D1 baseball at Stony Brook University. I want to thank all of my friends my family, and my coaches over these past couple of years at CBU and ESJ.
Looking forward to these next 4 years. Go Seawolves! @StonyBrookBASE #AGTG

@delraylightning Can you zoom in your stream? REALLY hard to see anything of value

[Ben McDonald @beebe4]

@delraylightning @SFCBL_Official FYI, Audio is not working either since the end of the 1st inning.

Moving official comms for Blackbook over to @Blkbookbaseball. It's been an amazing week! 25 reports completed for some of the best baseball programs in the country (side effect of launching during the playoffs)! Good luck to all teams playing this weekend!

There is something super special about having an old paper scorebook!

I have loved stats since I was a little boy so launching https://t.co/GTPxMYU3ck feels pretty full circle

[Ben McDonald @beebe4]

Hilarious!

@jasondoesstuff What up @jasondoesstuff, donuts soon?
I have been using https://t.co/4CjSfgO1N9 on both work and side projects and find it very helpful, especially on the teasing out ideas and putting guardrails in place.

Announcing Blackbook Baseball: scouting reports from $19: https://t.co/WeIG3Llew9

Built from 4 years scouting opponents for my son's varsity baseball staff. Honed into something truly useful.

This weekend, I bundled it into something repeatable.

@brendonparker @FHSAA Want a ruby port, @brendonparker ?

[Ben McDonald @beebe4]

I have implemented an open-sourced ranking system VERY similar to the one used by @FHSAA for their sports rankings.
I am giving it away for free.
Anyone with tech skills can download it and pass a game results file to it to confirm that it ranks teams fairly.
