Are the folks at The Athletic rooting for the Athletics? It only makes sense.

Didn't Earl Weaver use openers?
AvatarDan Szymborski

What Weaver did was break starters in as relievers.

Thanks, Sheryl. I will grow up to be Rob Manfred! Just kidding, I'd rather be representing the MLBPA

You shouldn't go to law school if your plan is not to practice law or teach IMO. Speaking as a recruiter here

Sean, coding in what languages or familiarity in what technologies?
Sheryl Ring

Why? Law school is all about critical thinking and logic.

Context for "second-half Severino": 5.56 ERA, 3.06 xFIP, 76 K/14 BB.

I was fortunate that I got into the sabermetrics world back when you didn't really code.
If I came up today, I'd absolutely need that skillset.

Analytics: R and SQL also Python.
Front end: JavaScript and Angular.js
Back end:  .NET MVC, AWS

At least that's what I've seen in the postings and from Saberseminar.

I just had a semester of C++ which I mostly showed up hungover to becuase it was a 9 AM class.
I got a B, but I have no specific memories of actually doing anything in that class, so I'm not sure how that happened.

I used to root androids. Taught myself rudimentary coding.

Lawyers don't build doomsday lasers. They DO write contracts that require others to build doomsday lasers or risk eternal financial ruin.

Any thoughts on getting into plaintiff-side advocacy with the MLBPA? I'd think they'll need to hire a lot more lawyers pretty soon.
Sheryl Ring

I was good at rooting, but bad at coding.

Can we have another law school and baseball chat at a separate time when I'm not living and dying on every pitch for the next 3 hours?

Good with me!

The closest I come to being a coder is that I beat Final Fantasy I with four white mages.
So not that helpful

FWIW...if law isn't for everyone (and it isn't, I quit after 2 years)...learn to go into business for yourself. Self-employed/small business. If you can support yourself, your truly do have the ability and, if you grow things right, the time to follow any interest and passion.
