So very proud of @jude_mcdonald7 and all the hard work he has put in, both in the class room and on the field to earn his chance to play D1 baseball @StonyBrookBASE. Not possible w/o support from Nick, Jonsey, Wayne, Maddux, JP, Bigs, Nik, Madsen, Tyler, Mark plus many more!
Jude McDonald@jude_mcdonald7

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

If your child becomes a reader, about 80% of the education job is already done. That's my honest assessment after working in education for over thirty years. Everything else is secondary. Most parents think science education is important. Yes it is. But if you can't read the biology textbook, you're not going to learn biology. Reading is the meta-skill that enables all other skills. History requires reading. Science requires reading. Even math increasingly requires reading as it becomes more sophisticated. The child who reads voraciously will figure out everything else. The child who doesn't will struggle with everything.

Hey @espn, if you could update your app so that college baseball teams can be added to your favorites and allow for tracking, instead of having to scroll through the entire days list of games to find your team, that would be fantastic. Thanks in advance. Sincerely, All baseball fans.

Of course that’s your contention. You’re a first-year analytics intern. You just got finished reading some Sabermetric historian—Bill James, probably. You’re gonna be convinced of that ’til next month when you get to the latest Pitching+ update, and then you’re gonna be talkin’ about how SIERA is the only "true" measure of skill because it accounts for the complexity of the batted ball profile to CSW rates. You have no thoughts of your own. You’re just looking at a movement plot and trying to sound smart. You’re gonna realize in a couple of years that you spent all that time calculating "Expected FIP" based on a "Skill-Interactive" ghost, when you could’ve just looked at the K/BB ratio and seen the whole picture. The sad thing is, in about five years, you’re gonna realize you’re not that bright. You’re gonna be talkin’ about Skenes’ "Expected ERA" while the real experts are just looking at a box score and realizing that if a guy doesn't walk people and he misses bats, he's gonna be fine. You dropped $100,000 on a Data Science degree to learn how to run a regression on a pitcher's "luck," when you could’ve gotten the same predictive value for five cents in late charges by looking at a K/BB leader board at the public library.
