Related Topics: Robot Overlords, Dreamcast

Now that Rice has a job, it’s just a waiting game for both the Chicago Cubs to get back to first place (and stay there), and for the new job to begin. Thanks a ton to special guest Harry Pavlidis (@harrypav) for stopping by and having a conversation:

  • We talk a bunch about existing baseball tracking technology, their advantages and their limitations;
  • Harry explains why technology shouldn’t yet be relied upon, especially for calling balls and strikes;
  • We lament the loss of many baseball writing jobs and discuss the potential future of the profession.
