STOP THE COUNT!!!! AUSTRALIA WINS 2-6
OWEN CAISSIE TWO RUN HOMER IKTR
this is from 2023 and i haven't kept up well with research in this area since then so very possibly some of the main issues highlighted here have since been fixed, but i thought this talk was super informative at the time: www.sloansportsconference.com/event/the-ne...
haven't read the paper yet (will do so next!) so maybe this is addressed but i always feel like my biggest criticism of trying to use an LLM to predict baseball (or any sport honestly) is that baseball is a structured language and therefore an LLM isn't the appropriate tool for this problem
when justin verlander got traded to the astros i accidentally broke the news to my classmate who was a HUGE jv tigers fan right before class (like, his phone background was of him with jv) and he spent the entire lecture sitting in a daze. sorry i ruined your day ty, hope today's news helps,
mochi plushies of miyuki kazuya and furuya satoru from daiya no ace overlooking my plate of trofie al pesto
miyuki kazuya and furuya satoru have made it to the winter meetings in orlando
if aj preller shows up with a fresh root melt balayage i will bash my own head in with a baseball bat
i absolutely need to have the coolest hair at winter meetings but i also donβt want to spend $400 on getting it done which is why iβm spending my friday bleaching my roots
thanksgiving leftovers π€ my head
wrapped in plastic wrap
I WAS PLAYING INFINITY NIKKI WHAT THE FUCK DID I MISS
i was trying to distract myself from being sad about baseball with being sad over my old man boyband disbanding instead and then shuffle decided to play one of their baseball songsβ¦β¦.. i truly canβt win
this is not a knock against ikf so much as it is a knock against the concept of 30-year deals
had a nightmare last night that the jays signed ikf to a 30/300 deal and had to check my phone as soon as i woke up to make sure it wasnβt real
thank you!! π in the meantime i will simply have to settle for being incredibly smug that i was the only one who correctly predicted a dodgers/jays ws matchup all the way back in march (out of sheer delusional cope lmao)
there are definitely more things but iβm too emo to think about them right now, so iβm gonna go paint my living room about it. see you all in orlando for winter meetings π«‘
2. WBC!! this is the first year since weβve partnered with NPB and the first time since Hawk-Eye was installed in Tokyo Dome, meaning weβll be able to provide more extensive data for games played there.
1. weβre going to be working on rolling out ABS to all 30(!!) MLB parks next season!! this is the biggest rollout weβve ever done, and i did kind of cry a little at the thought of having to support 15 brand new ABS venues simultaneously on opening weekend, but iβm still excited
i will leave the looking back on this season to people more eloquent than me, and iβm probably gonna go watch some anime about how emo i right NOW, but i canβt lie and say iβm not excited looking forward to what we at BDP have in store for next year!!!
one thing they donβt tell you about working with a team versus working for the league is that when you get knocked out of the playoffs with a team you get a few days to be emo about it but with the league when the team you root for gets eliminated you gotta get right back to work afterwards
iβm gonna go to bed
