First assignment in second half of first semester brought me to investigating some of my tendencies on the chess board. Rome wasn’t built in a day!

@tangotiger @oldhockeycards Each game designates one team as the ‘catalyst’ for a pitching change. The catalyst team is the first allowed to make a pitching change, only after which the opposing team can make their change.

Deciding ways for which team gets to be the catalyst would be the fun part.

@JWonCATCHING curious to see if you see any merit in this or if this has any implications on strategy

Oregon (unintentionally) has 12 guys on the field on D with 10 seconds left. OSU throws incompletion, gets 5 yards but kills 4 seconds. If you don’t care about the yards and only care about the clock, I’d keep lining up 12 and make the refs call it every time…

Ever wonder how teams decide to run plays at certain spots on the field or certain game situations? Now you can look for yourself: https://t.co/aUAbYm9uAq

Using Driveline’s Open Biomechanics repository to start breaking down individual swings. Here’s a look at one, still trying to improve .

Wrapped up my first research dipping toes into biomechanics and CV. So much to learn and look at and not even scratching the surface on what is out there but take a look at some of these cool findings:

Regular season finally wrapped up…here is a look at swing decisions and statistics for leadoff hitters in 2024! What stands out?

The SEC on CBS was awesome, but the fact that we get to see games like that in primetime on ESPN is going to make it all the better. Special stuff man.
