@ThunderUpFucker @Bbl_Astrophyscs @BillyFryer42 I’m a Data Science major, I’d say in general knowing programming and statistics are the main skills you need to be in the field

@_pranavrajaram @Bbl_Astrophyscs @BillyFryer42 Yes I kinda understand that part from the original tweet. What is said college program or major that you would have to be involved in to do this type of work and be in this type of career field though?

Excited to share that my team was named a finalist in the 2025 SMT Data Challenge. We built a modeling pipeline to evaluate cutoff man decision making in baseball. Huge thanks to @Bbl_Astrophyscs and @BillyFryer42 for their help! Link to project: pranavrajaram.com/smt-data-chall…

@ThunderUpFucker @Bbl_Astrophyscs @BillyFryer42 It’s called the SMT Data Challenge, sign ups are usually in April and the deadline is in August. Only requirement to join is you have to be enrolled in some sort of college program.

@_pranavrajaram @Bbl_Astrophyscs @BillyFryer42 wtf is this and how do you get into this? What’s the major? I played baseball and sports my entire life growing up there’s no reason I shouldn’t be able to do this. I’d love to do this

@PranavSriraman Pizzas and water on me

My name twin working for my favorite team

I’m happy to announce that I’ll be joining the Oklahoma City Thunder as a Basketball Operations Analyst Intern this winter! Working for an NBA team has always been a dream of mine, and I’m grateful to the defending champs for making it possible. #ThunderUp

2025 NFL Predictions AFC (1-7): Bills Chiefs Ravens Jaguars Chargers Bengals Pats NFC (1-7): Eagles 49ers Packers Falcons Rams Lions Cowboys MVP: Patrick Mahomes OPOY: Jahmyr Gibbs DPOY: Myles Garrett COY: Mike Vrabel OROY: Tet McMillan DROY: Abdul Carter SB: Bills > Eagles

@PranavSriraman Completely melted down as a 9.5 point favorite against a bad defense in the playoffs and not a soul cared he has the best job in sports

I’m not entirely sure the players actually vote on this. And not to offend Goff fans but there’s no way the average player has a higher opinion of him than Hurts or someone. I think they ask players for their top 20s, take those, and rank them on their own then take the left over and put it into a random name generator.

@braneeth yeah very fair hoping Eagles are a bit more pass heavy this year so he gets closer to the 9-10 targets/game from 2023

@_pranavrajaram The issue with using target share is that AJB had 7.5 targets/game, compared to Nabers who had high share and volume with close to 11.3

Here's a look at how the top WRs in ADP this year fared in the five non-counting stats most correlated with 2024 WR Fantasy PPG. AJ Brown looks like a massive positive regression candidate. He was top-3 in 4 of 5 metrics last year, but currently being drafted as just the WR10.

Drake Maye is a fantasy cheat code waiting to be unlocked. Last year, he had a scramble rate (10.7%) up there with the top rushing QBs of this era, but just 14 designed rush yards. With Josh McDaniels in town to fix that + new weapons, I'm confident Maye hits QB1 status in 2025.

Read more about Reed on @4for4football: 4for4.com/2025/preseason…

Can someone explain to me why Jayden Reed is going as the WR43 in drafts right now? He has finished as the WR23 and WR26 the last two years, and his production so far has all the makings of a classic year 3 breakout receiver. Might very well be the steal of the draft.

This is comfortably the best sports news of all time.

@gepinniwekileci @inpredict Ah you're right I mixed up 2017 with 2015 when they split the first 2.

The "Championship Shot" of the last 10 NBA Finals. Win probability data from @inpredict . Team had to be tied or ahead in the series (so no Steph G4 '22). KDs 2017 G3 is so underrated. Cavs are up 4 with 1:24 left to go up 2-1 (88% WP), KD goes on a personal 7-0 run to steal it.

@SuchitBhayani "d3" we using R #stayonthatside

Running total of Red Sox games above .500 since the 2018 World Series. Make sure to tune in on August 21st against the Yankees to see if they can achieve an illustrious 500-500 record.

@Carsobi Led the league in shots immediately followed by a timeout. Elite hustle

Siakam has 54 transition points in this series. For context, Giannis leads the playoffs with 7.6 transition PPG. Siakam is averaging 9.0 in this series and there's still a half left in this game. Just insane how much he's been able to run, even off made baskets by New York.

Jayson Tatum shooting hotspots by season. Cool to see his shot diet progression from taking a lot of long 2s to becoming an elite 3 level scorer. Heavy Mazzulla influence starting in 2022. Shoutout to @owenlhjphillips for the tutorial to make these plots.
