    If feel like we have been dancing around this, but do the Brewers feel like they have figured out a system for developing mostly speed guys to maximize their power output?
  2. igor67
    Absolutely but as long as the money stays unequal it cant get to the football level of crazy.

    Despite the loss college volleyball is way more watchable these days than football.

    If Watson is still around there's a chance the offense can just get hot in the playoffs. Not likely, but worth still tuning in. Stats wise Nix looked like it was hands down the better game, but Love was making some crazy good throws, and we kept missing pick chances so in some ways the game could have easily been a 40 something-20 something route

    The future of football, and we're halfway there, is playing to go 10-7 so that your key guys are available in January. Every sport has followed this trajectory. Going to the 17 game schedule was a mistake. And I fear you are correct. I enjoy the long baseball season and the resting of guys just feels different there. But I always appreciated the idea in football that every game was impactful.

    I was wondering about Woodson to shore up the secondary myself.

    Not opposed to seeing what folks want for Mears.

    I was going to go with "Phillies pay even more to run it back". And "the Dodgers agree to contribute more to the luxury task for a reliever"

    Repeat of the Halloween MNF game in the downpour. Ugly on both sides, but Watson channels Robert Brooks for a surprise 99 yd TD.

    I wonder if the Brewers have intentionally not had the Miz work on anything related to seam shifted wake, to improve his control first? It also leaves open the possibility of extra wrinkles down the road, which is a frightening thought.

    Given that on the stats side it was basically a coin flip to go for it on the last 4th down I don't mind. But whether you are willing to go for it or not, but especially if you are then running the ball on 3rd to get it down to a 1:20 second game before you punt is a must in that case.

    It does create a bit of an incentive for a player like Jackson to sign an extension too which is interesting. Even with the extension in place 400K is still a solid add on.
  13. igor67
    It could just crush the Dodgers finances because of all that deferred money. But getting better defacto revenue sharing would be a positive.
  14. igor67
    Wins are better than losses, but the team feels solidly less than the sum of its parts. I didn't mind a clunker or two in October, but it time for the team to be growing.
  15. igor67
    Part of it is also playing a lot of the young guys, so they aren't stacking up behind a bunch of guys in their 30's.
  16. igor67
    Bigger surprise with how deep the system is, would be how few players we are worried about protecting.
  17. igor67
    I like the methodology. Looking at WAR you discover the 3 players cluster right around the 90 mark. Which theoretically would be the 'worst' starting OFer mark. So the numbers match that intuition about where they rank, however in terms of them it's also worth realizing that the downside of WAR in this case is that if we were treating them like starters those numbers (except Mitchell) would be higher.
  18. igor67
    I think Durbin potentially has a little bit more he can do, like a peak 4.0 WAR season. Collins can probably learn to keep it up for a full season and hit 3.0 but is almost certainly at his peak, and Patrick could definitely become a #2 rotation guy, but it's hard to predict how likely that is to happen.
  19. igor67
    If I had any significant discretionary investing money I would definitely look at quantum computing and fusion companies. Quantum potentially opens up being able to effectively solve NP-hard problems, which is another way of thinking about why AI is limited. And getting truly cheap electricity also removes a lot of economic constraints. It's far enough out that predicting winners and losers is impossible but I seem them as technologies close enough and both have truly revolutionary potential.
  20. igor67
    Even though it didn't turn out that way, it's perfectly reasonable based on the info available to believe that Rhys was more likely to hit well enough to be an asset than Vaughn. I don't mind that they tried Rhys and it didn't work out, despite being a big salary number for us it was done in the context of not having good young alternatives, so spending to fill that hole made sense. It didn't work out so it goes on the overall scorecard as a loss, but not a huge one.
  21. igor67
    My general guess is that AI products will end up being about as revolutionary as the internet itself, but will happen more on a time scale like smart phone adoption. Which almost certainly leads to a telecom level crash that becomes equally memorable because as owbc said it's the only thing propping up the economy at the moment. I do think it leads to a net decrease in jobs in some sectors, which might well be OK in the long run given an otherwise shrinking population. Which businesses survive the over investment though is anyone's guess. Also what generic white collar work looks like in 10 years is also probably anyone's guess as that does seem like the area where the efficiencies may have the biggest impact.
  22. igor67
    I will say most of the AI tools I've tried have been very underwhelming. As in it is faster for me to just do the work. It can write middle of the road middle school level science and math questions, but I can just make those up on the spot. Anything beyond that and it couldn't, It certainly wasn't able to write Common Core level questions. I tried the features to have it try writing labs, and everything I got was pure hallucination which was readily apparent at least because the website sources it pointed to did not have info that supported the different labs. I found one that would OCR on older paper curriculum I had and convert it to Word that was actually moderately useful because it didn't give too much weird formatting or mistakes handling exponents. But it wasn't enough to pay for after I used it a couple of times. So I'm mostly seeing signs of very limited markets. Similar to the great MOOC debacle a decade ago.

    Is there an AI on the market that isn't built on training it's data using an LLM though?
  24. igor67
    It's too bad because 30 years ago this Series has all the drama potential of an all time classic.

    Jackson!
