going from the most intense games you could ever imagine to absolutely nothing is like shacking up in a log cabin with Margot Robbie for a month then at the end she ties you up, shoots you in the leg, and leaves you for dead

going to sleep after the yankees get eliminated feels like when the serial killer in your neighborhood finally gets caught & you breathe a little easier knowing you live in a safer world than you did this morning

sure today’s games were incredibly exciting & i loved em all, but the end-of-regular-season dopamine that hits best for me is all the year’s stats suddenly getting set in stone to forever remain unchanged. i can finally take a good long serious look at the statsheets with no caveats & get memorizing

I've been putting lots of time into making my LASR code more flexible so that I can easily translate other datasets. First up: Negro League data! Here's an exploration of Negro League heroes and their stats translated to a league-contextualized scale.
LASR now has Negro League Stats!
A translation and exploration of statistics from the historic Negro Major Leagues of the 1920's-1940's.

baseball fans: “ah, I love listening to baseball”

MLB At Bat commercials, thousands of times a day, testing the sanity of its users by refusing to update anything:

“😄 that’s Mike Piazza! 😄 after hitting a home run in the FIRST 😄 Mets home game! 😄 since 9/11 🫤”

LASR update: I have translated Negro League data to the LASR scale!
