No idea how I got a "hardcore" tag. I am no where near the analytic of many here. Also, no idea where Al North has been hiding?

If Duncan doesn't do it, I think the honor should go to Chiefspants. He's a good writer and a great numbers guy.

Chiefspants can write an entire repository OP in under 5 minutes ROFL. Never in my life have I personally witnessed a faster typer. I can also second the notion of him being an incredible numbers guy. The first time we met, we talked baseball for hours. It was the first time I could talk Royals baseball to an actual person before, so it wasn't your casual "____ played good yesterday" baseball talk.

I'm all for chiefspants or reaper or pb starting the first repository. We moved over the weekend. Turns out, moving is exhausting... especially when you only get two days to do it before your 18-month old twins are back there.

You heard it: We have a couple nominations. Pants, Reaper, or PB. start up the repository! Let's get this thing going, it's bad karma not to.

Do it, Pants!

Probably why we lost the first game. Perfect season ruined.

If PB starts the 2017 repository, I'm leaving forever.

You're not as important as you think.

I'll just delete it

It was the speedo comment

Don't forget to start a thread to let us know.....

Whoa, I'm legitimately honored, everybody.

I agree with Duncan, Reaper and PB are every bit as deserving (if not more so), and Al is welcome to pre-empt me too. Al almost singlehandedly kept my hopes up in the dark times (2008-2010) and he and Rany were the people who inspired me to study analytics, and for that I'll always be appreciative.

If no one has any serious objections, I'll begin working on this year's repository tonight. I have professional development after teaching today, but I promise to have it done by tomorrow night at the latest.

So today's game means nothing to you? The bad karma will continue until a thread is up. At the very least, create it with with a placeholder post until you can get what you want in it.

Karma is real:

Trivia time: name the 2017 player who makes more $$ than another team. (Name them both without looking)

Kershaw makes like 35 mil... but I thought the bottom Team payroll was around 50 or so.
