I made a Sports Website in my spare time, I'm going to focus on Baseball today but feel free to check out other sports! Live Games are where I've put the most thought and time in Box Scores should be helping people watch the game, understand what's happening, and catch up to what has happened and I've really enjoyed personally using it. leftslantsports.com/mlb/scor… Picture 1: - Advanced Stats for Hitters and Pitchers directly from Baseball Savant - Hitter Hot Zones - Pitcher Fatigue - Hitter stats vs type of pitches by Zone - Upcoming Batters with WRC+ (banner along the top) - Baserunner Speed - Pitcher Tendency by Pitch - Pitcher Tendency vs Batter Hand Recently - Pitcher Movement - Ability to Sync with TV Broadcast - Pitcher Velocity by Pitch - Swing Tendencies by Pitch - Balls In Play vs Pitcher Hand Picture 2: - Lineup and WRC+ vs Hand - ISO/K%/Walk%/xwOBA (vs Both Hands) with the ability to click on a player and get a full breakdown vs hand of the pitcher - Bullpen usage analysis with ability to click on a Pitcher and see full pitcher analysis Picture 3: - Average, OPS, R, H, HR, LOB, w/RISP are all Today’s Stats - Contact Quality - Hard Hit %, Barrel%, XBA are Today Stats - VS SP Hand - See how patient the players are being vs their season average, Season Long HR% vs Hand, wOBA vs Hand and WRC+ vs Hand - Discipline - Today’s stats about Walks/K’s/Chase Rate/and Zone Swing % - Season Long Starter Stats Picture 4: - Box Score Like You’re Scorekeeping, way better to see the flow of the game and big innings!

C.S. Lewis wrote about this in an essay called First and Second Things. He said that paradoxically, you're more likely to get what you want when getting it isn't the most important thing in your life. If you put the highest thing first, you'll often get the second thing as well. Put the second thing first, and you'll lose both.
Rory McIlroy on the paradox of chasing success. “I think it would be a pretty unfulfilling pursuit if you’re just chasing records and chasing results…If all you’re thinking about is winning and results, you’re playing the wrong game.” One of the great paradoxes of performance is that the outcomes we want are rarely achieved by obsessing over the outcomes themselves. Ironically, the less your identity depends on the outcome, the more freedom you often have to perform at your best. If you enjoy golf or mental game lessons, follow along this weekend as I’ll be sharing more highlights and insights from the Open championship. 🎥: The Open

Tim Tebow explains how to compete with someone for a job without secretly rooting for them to fail: “I would try to show up with the mindset of, ‘I’m competing with Chris Leak, but also for him as a team.’ I’m on his team, and he’s on the same team I’m on.” “When I get to go in the game, I’m trying to do good for him so he gets to come back on the field.” “We’re competing FOR each other.” “Average competitors, and I mean this more in mindset, not talent, want to beat someone when they’re weaker.” “Elite competitors want to beat people at their best.” “I want him to do good. I just want to do better. I’m going to root for him. I’m going to praise him. I’m going to encourage him. I’m going to want the best for him.” “Am I going to want to do great? Yes. But I’m going to choose to root for him. It’s a choice.” “It’s not always emotion. Your emotions, your pride and your ego, it can get to you. Fighting against it is a daily, moment-by-moment thing.”

After this is when you decide whether to throw it away, keep it, or (probably most of the time) do a little bit of both.
Replying to @benbean1996
People use models in different ways. You shouldn’t throw out the model because you don’t like the results, you should understand why the model is telling you this, see what’s going on with it, then adjust or understand the reasons it doesn’t like someone. It’s all contextual.

Jalen Brunson post Game 4: "Before we start… My thoughts & prayers are with a friend of mine I got to meet last week. Jonathan from North Carolina. From Make a Wish Foundation They asked me to make a video. But something told me to Facetime… I got the pleasure to do so…Quick call but well worth it. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family… May God rest his soul" (Reporter asks question) Jalen (can't answer): "Sorry…"

For the first time, Upstate is a winner in the NCAA Tournament! The Spartans never trailed, dispatching No. 2 seed Oklahoma State 8-5 Friday! Three scoreless frames from Max Bianchini headlined a stellar effort from the Spartan pitchers! #SpartanArmy ⚔️

Coach @richterhoops & @UpstateMBB defended Drives very well last year. One of the keys was their discipline on Pass Out situations where they were simply excellent as illustrated by Synergy's Player Tracking.

Passion Unity Servanthood Humility Thankfulness
Tony Bennett shares a masterclass on humility and why most people get it wrong. "When we talk to our young men about what humility means, it's twofold and sometimes it's not what you think." "Don't think too highly of yourself. If you wanna turn people off, walk around arrogantly thinking you own this place." "But we also talk about the other aspect: don't think too lowly of yourself. That's false humility." Most people only see one side. Real humility is balanced. "Have sober judgment. That's what humility means - to really know who you are as a player, as a team. And know who you're not." It takes self-awareness to know who you are and where you want to go. Then he shared a definition that changes everything: "I heard Timothy Keller give the definition of humility as this: It's not thinking less of yourself - it's thinking of yourself less." That's the difference. Not self-doubt, but selflessness. "We're all so selfish. When your team gets past that, that's when you have success. It's been about the team and less about yourself." "People look at humility as a position of weakness. But I think it is true strength. There's power in true humility." It takes humility to be willing to learn and listen. It takes humility to be willing to admit you don't know yet. It takes humility to be unoffendable and put the team first. (🎥 UVA Basketball)
