I can’t watch the Yankees-Nats game since I don’t have ESPN, so have been listening to the radio feed. The fake AI crowd noise is unnerving me. It feels like I am part of the Truman Show. Is the box score going to report the virtual likes as well as the paid attendance?
Apparently if you give the same architecture firm more than 5 billion to play with instead of a chincy 1 billion you get SoFi stadium. I’m not sure it looks 4 billion dollars different. Plus you don’t even get natural grass.
Being off by a few hundred K in a strange, data poor, truncated year seems OK to me. Granted, those are very much high leverage dollars to leave on the table, but it’s a very amorphous leverage (particularly in that amount). You can give the real dollars to an intern to day trade with to see what they can do with by next month.
My all time favorite as well. The only thing I was halfway good at in basketball was rebounding. One of the best compliments I have ever received came when I was playing at a basketball camp. I made a rebound, and Wes pointed at me from the sideline and said "Excellent positioning, son".
I have lost track of the details. Do they still have to get local approval for using/ working in the stadiums? I assume there are contingencies if a region like NYC goes on full lockdown again. Has the MLBPA agreed to those?
Just keep chucking talent into the firebox and hope that coaching, video, personality tests, wearable tech, organizational philosophy, and the mysteries of the universe squirt out some rare nuggets at a reasonable pace.
