I miss the old days of reading box scores and stats in the paper, so I vibe-coded my own version. It's informed by sabermetrics but still focused on the basics. Just built it for me, but if you're interested: dastudes.github.io/daily/index....
In an odd reversal of form, Jon Stewart has become my least favorite Daily Show host.
So sorry Tom.
That’s sort of a typical difference, isn’t it?
Fantastic! Knowledge you didn’t know you needed to have!!!

One of my very favorite fantasy authors on my favorite sport.

Over 20 years ago, I created a little website www.baseballgraphs.com for fun. It lead me into a ten-year rabbit hole of writing and opining about baseball for The Hardball Times (tht.fangraphs.com/author/studes/). Now I just sit and marvel at what was wrought.
