Send us a Text Message.Mark has been a SABR member for 4 years but has never attended the annual convention. This year it was in Minneapolis in early August and the Twin Cities proved to be a great location for a content-rich three days of baseball talk and presentations. HOFers Rod Carew and Tony Oliva were on a hitter's panel together and HOFers Bert Blyleven and Jim Kaat on another along with former Twin's pitchers LaTroy Hawkins and Glen Perkins. Some of the sessions were ultra-nerdy but not too and the presenters were engaging and a good listen. Gordon asks Mark about his SABR 52 experience. Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

It's the movie based on the book that changed the way we think about baseball - and we would argue, OTHER sports as well. Maybe even about life. Alright, that's way too deep for a film podcast. The Chumps welcome back Mike Pagano to discuss how our National Pastime was impacted by the crafty 2002 Oakland A's and the controversial SABRmetrics. Luke brings up his 1st ever MLB game (that Corrye was a part of) which ties in perfectly for this episode. PLUS: We chat about the new Dune 2 trailer (they show the sandworm riding!), Pedro Pascal joining the Gladiator sequel cast, and a guessing game involving an outer space pact.

A day early for Thanksgiving, in this first episode of our 'off-season' we're joined by SABR (Society for American Baseball Research) membership ambassador Bruce McClure who's a baseball nut just like we are!  Bruce talked about why SABR is not what everyone thinks and is more than a number-crunching site for baseball nerds. We'll post every other week - at least since sometimes we just get the urge to talk about....baseball! Please subscribe to our podcast and thanks for listening! If you have a suggestion for an episode please drop us a line via email at Almostcooperstown@gmail.com.  You can also follow us on Twitter @almostcoop or visit the Almost Cooperstown Facebook page.  If you can please give the podcast 4 or 5 star rating! Have a great Thanksgiving holiday everyone and thanks so much again for your support! www.almostcooperstown.com

Spencer McCann is a Rays fan who lives just outside of Clearwater, Florida. Currently a college senior, he studies Sports Management and Theology and hopes to find a job for a team in the Florida State League after graduation. Spencer recently held an internship with the Clearwater Threshers (Single-A affiliate of the Phillies) and became one of the team's photographers. We chat about how Moneyball and SABRmetrics got him interested in baseball, and how his love of the game has evolved over the past several years. Spencer also shares how Mike Brosseau's  2020 ALDS home run made him a more positive person and changed his entire outlook on life. You'll hear Spencer talk about a video he created to commemorate Brosseau's home run and explain why that moment matters so much to him.

WE HAVE A WORLD SERIES! Riz & Dawg bring you Monday Night Live as the Atlanta Braves got ready to meet the Houston Astros in the 2021 World Series. How did these teams end up here despite having two of the oldest managers in MLB? The guys broke it down. They also were their own harshest critics of their pre-playoff MLB bracket picks, which did not go well! We have seen some of the old-school thinking in baseball lead the Astros and Braves to the precipice of the championship. Riz & Dawg explained how some of the theories that spurned SABRmetrics and Moneyball morphed into the analytics overload happening today, and where that premise might have taken a left turn. Do the names of Hall of Famers Kirby Puckett and Frank Thomas excite you? They're the examples in a discussion you do not want to miss. There was also a Diehard Dads segment carried by Riz this time, and a dedication of the show to Debbie Rizzo ahead of her birthday. Join us in wishing Deb a happy birthday! Dawg kicked it off with Veteran of the Day. It was USMC Sergeant Matt Butler, a combat correspondent and social media pioneer who served 24 years in the Corps and now heads Fordham's Military and Veterans Affairs office. Go Rams! This one streamed live on the Facebook group, so Uncle Paul was there in the comments. As with all the shows, it's also available on YouTube, iTunes and Spotify (links are below).

Major League Baseball has seen a statistical revolution in the last 20 years. A philosophy called ‘SABRmetrics’ has changed how teams evaluate players and how players advance their capabilities. We discuss the impact of these analytics on the game of baseball and the fans’ viewing experience. Guest: Zach Buchanan, Staff Writer at The Athletic covering the Arizona Diamondbacks

With technology and mathematics continuing to replace the human workforce, the relevancy of "Moneyball" far supersedes the baseball park. Nevertheless, while the plot of this Oscar-nominated film can feel numerically engineered at times, it never forgets its more sentient roots as a veritable sports movie. With statistically-driven montage sequences, an ecstatic portrayal of the Oakland A's record breaking twenty-game win streak, and the depiction of a ragtag team replete with unorthodox personalities, "Moneyball" balances its heady & arithmetical proclivities by adding all of the classic sports tropes we've come to love in this traditionally 'feel good' genre. From the opening shots of the Oakland A's forlorn front office to its moody final close-up of a General Manager's staring straight ahead with bittersweet tears outlining his eyes, "Moneyball" is much more emotionally complex than your ordinary baseball flick. Written by Steven Zaillian ("Searching for Bobby Fisher") and Aaron Sorkin ("The Social Network"), directed by Bennett Miller ("Capote" / "Foxcatcher"), and starring Brad Pitt (playing Billy Beane) and Jonah Hill (as Peter Brand), the film is a truly ensemble effort: with each member of the all-star roster pulling their weight. Even the smaller roles in the film—from Phillip Seymour Hoffman performance as the beleaguered A's coach Art Howe to Chris Pratt's performance as an aging catcher relocated to first base—fill in the margins of "Moneyball" with the necessary layers of subtext and texture the film needs to drive its philosophical home. Recognizing the impact and moral weight that these players give the film, Jordan Puga and Paul Keelan analyze the many philosophical and ethical predicaments that are provoked by the growing popularity of SABRmetrics in baseball and beyond: Have we become too consumed with empirical data and lost our instinctive human edge? Was Billy Beane's all-in bet on the hypothesis that OBP trumps all other factors the predominant factor in spurring the Oakland A's toward their miraculous turnaround season? And if the money is simply reallocated to overpaying GM's and sabermetricians in the aftermath of the growing prominence of this practice, has anything really been circumvented or changed? These are big-time questions, and "Moneyball's" ambivalent ending—leaving the viewer stewing and pensive at best—serves as the ideal catalyst for meaningful discourse: providing a ton of existential pickles to be scrupulously parsed and pondered over. - As always, thanks for listening!

Emily & John welcome their very 1st guest, Max Greenfield, to discuss analytics, the evolution of the game, and their Top 3 MiLB Team Names!

The Rays didn't commit any errors Friday in Cleveland, but there were plenty of mistakes on both offense and defense that allowed the Indians to take the second game of this four-game series. Also, with all these advanced metrics available on every player, is a guy's batting average worth even considering anymore?

Moneyball is the story of the Oakland Athletics' 2002 season; a season in which General Manager Billy Beane used the unconventional theory of "Sabrmetrics" to field a competitive team. It's a compelling sports film filled with drama, humor, and suspenseful moments that was nominated for Best Picture. But we also think it's a really good movie for the fire service. On the surface, the team's situation at the beginning of the film is quite similar to many of our own departments: you are expected to field a winning team while being challenged by a lack of staffing, equipment, support, etc. But if you watch the film with your leadership lenses on, you start to realize there are real leadership lessons in this film. Billy Beane does a lot right and a little bit wrong as he tries to get everyone involved to buy in to his new idea. Through this discussion, we take our favorite leadership moments in the film and talk about what we think, how the lessons can be applied, and how we (like Billy Beane) fall short in our execution from time to time. 

Is it possible to improve on perfection? What modifications can one make to something that is already complete? What DO you get for the player who can do everything? We don't really answer these questions, but we do discuss a few pretty good baseballmen. We also dip our toe into some advanced stats and talk about the weirdest home runs hit this season. We also fix extra innings! It might take a while, but remember- we stop serving alcohol after the 7th goof.    Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about The Myth of A Hit, HBP Victim-Blaming, Kindergarten Justice, RBIs (Really Bad Indicators), Lord of The (Infield) Flies, Gilded Gloves, Riding The Clutch, and The Twilight of Derek Jeter's Career. @ThatBBShow on Twitter, ya Jokers! 

This week, Kitty and Kevin wonder why weird takes on sports games are less popular these days; then the two use Sabrmetrics to pick their all-star undead line-ups in Mutant League Hockey and Football. Chilly Beane would be so proud.
