I took a way different message away from moneyball than everyone else it seems. It wasn't about market efficiency, that's just what happened because teams at the top weren't going to change their approach. The core concept to me was finding what actually mattered in winning games.

Go watch 90s and early 00s basketball. Tons of guys taking a step inside the 3pt line and taking the longest two you can take, its insane watching it, litterally less than 2 ft. Had they not moved they would have made a much bigger play. Or look at 2004 when the pistons had one of the largest upsets ever of LA. If the Lakers had some one jacking up 12 3s a game they would have won, but Detroit didn't guard the perimeter at all. Moneyball to me was about how they approached composing the roster by identifying what is actually important in the sport, which went against conventional knowledge. If they had a bigger salary they would have gotten better guys, again just the limitation, not the point of moneyball.

I mean it's slightly better than the complex in other countries that take you from your family and train you for a decade just to lose to the Americans in the Olympics.

Patrick is one of our favorite players. His modest skills notwithstanding, he always gave it his all and kept up his enthusiasm regardless of how things were going. Didn't seem to be a whiner, and when on the bench, he was a fervent cheerleader. Hope he lands somewhere he can shine a bit. Can't teach size, and the dude is tall. Somebody will find a place for him.

Hokies win 13-2 in 7

Right there with you.

Drifting away, bit-by-bit. Didn't watch a minute of NCAA selection show and not even gonna bother with a bracket this year. Once they inevitably (and completely unnecessarily) expand the Tourney so more P2 teams with .300 conference records can make it, I'm probably completely out on MBB.

CFB...other than VT, I consume very little. Expanding the CFP was great for getting more TV $$$ but totally pointless from a competition standpoint..most of the games were snoozers.

The product is getting less compelling to anyone who isn't a fan of a Blue Blood program and is taking advantage of the very fans that made it so compelling in the first place with bullshit streaming games, expectations to contribute to NIL slush funds, and now extorting NIL money out of non-athlete college students.

Lecurto hits into bases loaded inning ending double play but Hokies should have challenged out at first.

13-2 still

Berzonski comes in with no outs and runners on 1st and 2nd with a run already in and shuts the door on the 6th.

13-2 to the bottom half

13-1 now in top of the 6th. They are playing 10 run rule so if Hokies maintain to 7th this one will be in the books. Hokies subbed out 7 of the 9 starters in the 6th inning.
