On Monday, Corinne and I said goodbye to our favorite wire fox terrier and best friend, Lilly. Before taking her to the vet, we carried her on one last walk to the ocean and back. In the final picture we took with her, she had a big smile on her face.

Yesterday, Baseball Savant released pitcher arm angle on a pitch-by-pitch basis!. You can download these data using the updated download_baseballsavant() function in the new v1.0.4 release of the sabRmetrics R package.
The Statcast Team has done it again!. You can now get pitch-by-pitch arm angle from the Savant CSVs. PyBaseball and/or BaseballR will likely need an update to download this data

👀. I've been remiss not to mention this more often, but @URAM_Analytics does a great job of highlighting jobs using the #SportsDataJobs, and a lot of the jobs listed on my website are there because I saw them posted by @URAM_Analytics. Super follow for sport analytics jobs.
Director, Analytics opportunity with the @NWSL . #SportsDataJobs.

What a story! @SouthernMissVB reminds volleyball players everywhere why you never give up in this sport.
Comeback of the week (possibly of the year?) belongs to @SouthernMissVB . Trailing Arkansas St 23-17 in set 3 after dropping the first 2 sets, Southern Miss had well under a 1% chance to win, but they fought back for a 31-29 set 3 win before taking sets 4/5 as well!

In my Intro to Sport Analytics class at @RiceSmgt, students fit the Pythagorean formula to a sport they chose. Students plotted their sport: How well does 1st half Pythag W% (vs. 1st half Actual W%) correlate with 2nd half Actual W%?. What makes these sports different?
