A. Stationary radar
B. Using radar in a moving car vs car in opposite direction
Is the radar they use equipped to distinguish those variables?
I dunno! Someone out there must though
🚨University of Georgia fan Chris Dixon was pulled over while driving to a UGA game in Athens when a sheriff's deputy crossed the median to ticket him for allegedly traveling 77 mph. Dixon maintains his cruise control was locked at 70 mph, pointing to his Cadillac's built-in digital display as proof.
When Dixon attempted to show the officer the on screen data and offer the recording during the stop, the deputy refused to review it on the roadside stating, "I can't go by that.
That is not a state registered device" and told him to fight it in court.

Star Trek was worldwide phenomenon before TNG made its appearance
Existence of TNG was made possible BECAUSE Star Trek was worldwide phenomenon
The first two seasons of TNG was largely bad (except Measure of a Man + 4 or 5 others); they survived because of the lore of Star Trek
My hot take is that TNG, not TOS, made Star Trek into a true cultural phenomenon.
Without TNG, it's just a fondly remembered, often prescient, occasionally schlocky 1960s sci-fi series and sequel movies. But TNG reinvented and elevated the show, creating the franchise.

I never checked this before today and I find this interesting, though public fielder positioning data play by play isn't available to really explore as in depth as I'd like to. But the WS really was also battle of:
TB: The most shaded defensive team in the league, by a significant margin
vs
MIL: The least shaded defensive team in the league, by a significant margin.
I find it interesting this is the case considering both organizations are so driven by information and so successful at run prevention; despite being composed of two athletic, defensively sound rosters that play in domes, each org had *VASTLY* different insight in optimizing their defense.
The Brewers in particular almost never shaded for a right handed hitter, just 0.3% of the time, while the Rays shaded 59.4% of the time against right handed batters....25.0 percentage points higher than the 2nd place team on the list.
Both teams yielded about the same results against right handed batters:
TB: .301 wOBA against
MIL: .302 wOBA against
Would be interesting in seeing more data on this that explains why they this is the case.

OTD 100 years ago, the Montreal Star could publish the entire NHL schedule on a half page of newsprint. You could clip it out and stick it to your refrigerator. If you had refrigerator magnets. Or a refrigerator. "Ice box"?

For the showrunners to not see it, and think that Patrick Stewart was wrong shows how out-of-touch they were with the fanbase
Michael Pillar (head Star Trek TNG writer) published an unauthorized book about the show. There’s a great part where Patrick Stewart gets a first draft of the “Insurrection” movie script and absolutely roasts it.

This is what loyalty to the team gets you... Kucherov has an enormously team-friendly deal
The Bolts could have reciprocated and given Kuch a max-deal. But nope, they pocketed the huge savings he gave them for the last 8 years, and the future is untethered to the past
Negotiations between the Lightning and Nikita Kucherov’s camp remained far apart. He’s an unrestricted free agent this summer, and is due for potentially double his $9.5 million AAV.
Kucherov let his teammates know of his decision today. He has a modified no trade clause, which allows him to give a list of 10 approved teams.

Since 2021, the number of Plate Appearances by Leverage Index (1 = average)
A nine-inning game has an average of 77 PA
Even getting an LI of 2+ only happens an average of 8 PA per game

Sunny, Book Blog Alumni and now GM of the Devils, said they had 14 Expected Goal Models
Eric, Book Blog Alumni and now GM of the Canes, jokingly retorted they go a bit deeper and had 15
Which reminded me of the video below
All kidding aside...

... collected at various rinks (and beyond just NHL naturally) necessitates a distinct model. A non-Statcast park for example would have a different fielding model.
So, yeah, "14" sounds like you don't have any, but maybe it's a way to show the breadth of considerations

Addendum: this is why I am a huge fan of the approach @sunshinevvn has with her WAR Spectrum
It is *the* model approach for models. Indeed, in my never-completed WAR book that preceded her Spectrum, this is exactly what I was doing

I can understand that Part 2 of Best of Both Worlds doesnt compare to Part 1, but Part 1 was the season-ending cliffhanger, meaning we had to wait all summer with the image of Locutus ingrained in our mind
Viewed contemporaneously, thats the standout scene of the entire series
In honour of Sir Patrick Stewart’s passing, here are my top ten episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation:
1. The Inner Light (S5 Ep. 25)
2. Tapestry (S6 Ep. 15)
3. The Measure of a Man (S1 Ep. 9)
4. Darmok (S5 Ep. 2)
5. The Drumhead (S4 Ep. 21)
6. The Pegasus (S7 Ep. 12)
7. I, Borg (S5 Ep. 23)
8. Who Watches the Watchers (S3 Ep. 4)
9. Ensign Ro (S5 Ep. 3)
10. Cause and Effect (S5 Ep. 18)
All are philosophically very interesting and most are carried by Stewart’s performance. I highly recommend them.
