"i know this, as someone who read moneyball, billy beane's book"

 

Tell me what on Earth you could need the processing speed of a supercomputer. The benefit is how quick data can be transmitted. There is simply no need for computing data that quickly unless you think we've got all our players armed with bluetooths to be told when to swing and at what trajectory.

 

i think maybe you have no idea what you're talking about. the value of a box like this is that you can run your whole operation on them; i.e. store, manage, consume all of your data, run applications in parallel, as well as user access, etc. it's a huge task, and to be honest, 500k isn't really all that crazy of a spend for a super-specialized stack like this

 

What's the benefit of it beyond near instantaneous processing speed?

 

Who the [expletive] knows? We know nothing about it other than it is super expensive. You really think a bunch of guys that (I would presume) you believe to be fairly intelligent, thoughtful people just spent half a million on a computer simply because "it goes real fast?"

they did spend $5M on a david ross

[Bull]

David Ross does not go really fast.

Please, this is a family board.

i remember seeing that story a year or two ago and it seemed like it really could've been the cubs

 

Man, I thought they did some kind of computery super upgrade a while back. Maybe I just dreamt that Soler is actually a sexy robot...a sexbot, if you will.

I thought there was some story about a computer program Theo had in Boston with a particular name.

That's so amazing and I'm disappointed no one else has noticed yet.

variegated is quite a bit of a reach

the best part about this meme is that it stems from a conversation where i'm pretty sure i was saying i wasn't understanding going after and fighting the pitcher after stanton got accidentally hit because i'd just be standing there horrified and sad.

Careless would never follow the three laws. I'm pretty sure he'd maim any one of us. WE TRUST YOU DAVID.

Careless is an emotionless sociopath; of course a robot would try to turn us after him in the hope he destroys us all.

I read in the paper that the DeVoss family are now minority owners. Look for Amway kiosks next to the bison burger stalls at Wrigley.

And thanks to that link, I now can't be sure if Wellington Castillo is worse at catching than I thought he was, or just a bigot:

Other than Kenny saying he sees "a bunch of .250 OBPs" on this team at the very end (????), that 30 clubs in 30 days was a very fun watch.

[rawaction]

I like Rizzo batting 2nd....especially if the pitcher is going to be 8th. Though, I'd go:

 

CF- Fowler

1B- Rizzo

RF- Soler

SS- Castro

C/3B- Montero/Bryant

2B- Baez

3B/LF- Olt/Coghlan

P

LF/3B- Coghlan/LaStella/Alcantara
