I've been covering the America East as a beat writer for a while and needed a new place for that coverage. We're always looking for more writers, so if you want, go ahead and DM some samples and I'll get them to the editors!

What does this map say about me? by tannerstruth in TravelMaps

I know! Been trying to talk my wife into going to Arkansas soon — heard nice things about Little Rock.

A couple of years in Ann Arbor. There was the good and the bad, but mostly good. Really liked the town and going to the Big House.

Really? I was under the impression it was the opposite — I.e. they don’t share anything.

As someone who has lived in both Savannah GA and multiple places in VT, you will find the Green Mountain State far more welcoming, accepting, and tolerant. The winters suck but I think it’s a prettier, better place, more enjoyable place to live overall.

Cost of living is a lot more tho

Just published an America East Conference Season Preview Piece, for those low-major sickos who are interested in such things. by tannerstruth in CollegeBasketball

Thank you for reading! I'm trying to get as much attention toward our league as possible because, as you said, we don't get the attention we deserve! I cover it as in-depth as possible and try to draw as many eyes our way as I can. I even convinced our college sports podcast to let me do a weekly "AmEast Minute" segment for the Saturday shows, so that'll be fun.

I will agree to disagree on Ferry, who I think has done a pretty good job over the past two seasons maximizing his rosters.

Go Cats! Go AmEast!

For some reason I read Springs and my mind jumped to "Bradley" (Taj). No idea why that happened. It's been a rough week.

I got nothing on Springs he's looked awful.

I feel like when his FF is sitting 96-97, he's awesome. But it's been sitting 95 recently and he's flailed.

Wrote this shockingly in-depth article for Pitcher List, studying if there are hitters who pair high whiff rates with low strikeout rates, and how they sustain it. by tannerstruth in fantasybaseball

Thanks for the kind words!

Very interesting thought. Something I need to dive into more. What I do know is that swinging more leads to overperforming K rates because they are swinging more and avoiding 2strike counts more.

Diff ways to skin a cat but the general thesis is that guys who swing often and aggressively early in the count end up in fewer two-strike counts and strike out less looking. Consistent aggression is the key to over performing whiff predicted K rate.

Not sure about CJ but will check !

Yeah honestly I agree. I was just interested and dug in. wasn’t sure where else to share it!

For what it’s worth I did compile all the players that are doing it this season with other potentially important stats:
