SportsFilter: The Friday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Grum doesn't need an equal opportunity. Or an applicant's complementary kielbasa. He just needs about 10-15 minutes of their time. That should do it.

To be fair, they couldn't afford me. :)
(It's well known in the business of baseball that they WAY underpay positions that are comparable to others in the non-baseball world. Data analysts, techies, etc. The reason is that everyone wants to be part of a sports team, and will take a pay cut to get the job.)
I'd need to play with the PitchFx data for a month or two before I could even think of a job like that.
Also, my programming skills in C have atrophied since I started using a proprietary language in the insurance industry.

Side note: How long has that image been around? I swear I remember it from almost 10 years ago.

Just a few years.

Looking at those badass shoes on a Saturday morning is reminding me that I need to get out there and aerate my lawn.
(Let's call it a yard. It is not emerald perfection. But it still needs air just as much as a regulation professional football does.)

Why don't the Cubs just do this?
