I honestly think this was at least part of it bsky.app/profile/mike...
I would have voted for Judge but I thought Raleigh was going to win

I feel like a few voters may have followed that logic

Just getting caught up on tonight. Not surprised the vote was close, but I am surprised Judge won. He was certainly deserving, but it’s not the way I would have voted

Saw that ESPN’s model had Sánchez winning over Skenes. Needless to say, mine did not.

2-for-2 tonight, but obviously the big test comes tomorrow.

I had said that “I wouldn’t be shocked to see (Crochet) get a first place vote or three.” He got 4, but Skubal’s margin of victory was still pretty comfy, and in line with the model

The AL MVP was the closest finish I’ve ever had in the model, and the closest of any race outside of the 2018 AL Cy Young.

If the model can get all 4 races right tonight, that will be 4 straight years it has done so (it correctly predicted the finalists in each category, but we’ll see about order)

It actually is, for the people working on that stuff, and who aren’t just tied up in data centers. Happy to connect you to some folks doing really important work, if you’re interested!

Especially this time of year, with the weather, it’s generally more reliable and way less hassle

I’ve taken the train from here to Chicago — I’d prefer it to driving, and it’s not that much longer

Also thinking about this yet again this morning bsky.app/profile/noah...
My unsold minor league baseball pilot from a few years back was ACTUALLY about the growing divide between the haves and have-nots and the fact that we never stopped fighting the Civil War. Thinking about that again for no reason at all tonight.

Two of my coworkers had three separate flights canceled out of Chicago and just ended up renting a car and driving back to Virginia yesterday
