How did the team meeting go?

@leecrawfurd @ryancbriggs @JustinSandefur I feel like health and education would be the obvious answers if it weren't for awful measurement issues.

@BaseballJeff1 That is happening

@xenocryptsite It’s okay!

[Otis Anderson @oldjacket]

@ryancbriggs Not sure? I get the impression that he thinks it should be important, but doesn’t really care about it. 99% of the time he’s just outsourcing his opinion to some CEO

Being a small budget, analytics heavy team means exploiting market inefficiencies. And for a long time, those market inefficiencies were about playing ugly baseball. But now everyone plays ugly baseball. So the new market inefficiency is playing pretty baseball. I'm not joking.

@tracewoodgrains @xwanyex he just wants to his post hoc sophistry. Don't worry about it, there's no actual core to his beliefs.

@moultano New Hampshire might be different but my kids learned long division

[Otis Anderson @oldjacket]

@Chris_Said I was under the impression the evidence on that institution in particular was pretty weak

@tangotiger @JamesSurowiecki @CodifyBaseball they probably intentionally chose one where Fangraphs WAR says something very different

@jmhredsox Greatest run by a player from Merrimack NH

@baseballcrank @JamesSurowiecki Professional bullet biter

[Otis Anderson @oldjacket]

@baseballcrank @JamesSurowiecki Is there literally anything he could post that wouldn’t clear your bar then?
