Analytical, irreverent and opinionated, Baseball Prospectus became the “Saturday Night Live” of sabermetrics. rustindodd and JaysonJenks on a book-turned-website that revolutionized an industry.
“To call it a website is really not doing it justice,” A’s president Billy Beane said. “It was really a think tank.”assistant general manager Michael Fishman.president Derek Falvey.
Once Huckabay realized he could write three lines of code to automate the Scantron results, he spent some of his time on the clock reading Rec.Sport.Baseball. “Oh, gosh, I don’t want to make it sound too bad,” he says, “but it was no more than 97 or 98 percent of my time.” Through Rec.Sport.Baseball, Huckabay came to detest the baseball establishment. It wasn’t just that he disagreed with many of their views, although he did; it was that so many people in the sport defended those views without ever investigating them. “That kind of behavior bugs the hell out of me,” he says. “It gets under my skin.”Susan Redmond was a violinist at 18 when a car accident sent her through the windshield and cut the tendons in her left hand.
Amazingly, the screw-up led to a fortuitous creation. The group needed some place to put the missing 15 pages, so Huckabay enlisted Dave Pease, a Rec.Sport.Baseball poster and engineer at Qualcomm, to build the first version of BaseballProspectus.com. The internet then was still an unpopulated frontier. When the Baseball Prospectus site went live on October 2, 1996, one of the biggest baseball websites on the internet was “John Skilton’s Baseball Links.
As Baseball Prospectus pushed more resources to its website in the early 2000s, it found one loyal reader in the A’s front office. In the years before Michael Lewis’ seminal book “Moneyball” — before the A’s methods were revealed to the rest of the world — Beane would wake up at 4 a.m., use a DSL internet connection to load the Baseball Prospectus site, read the latest column about some sabermetric idea and have a paranoid thought: “They’re bugging our office.

Rosenthal: Why a Royals-Zack Greinke reunion will likely require both sides to giveThe Royals don't necessarily need Zack Greinke. And he doesn't necessarily need top dollar. But Greinke is forever (and most recently) a Royal, writes Ken_Rosenthal. '[He] means that much to their fans, their franchise.' Can they strike a deal?

Non-interventional follow-up versus fluid bolus in RESPONSE to oliguria in hemodynamically stable critically ill patients: a randomized controlled pilot trial - Critical CareBackground Fluid bolus therapy is a common intervention to improve urine output. Data concerning the effect of a fluid bolus on oliguria originate mainly from observational studies and remain controversial regarding the actual benefit of such therapy. We compared the effect of a follow-up approach without fluid bolus to a 500 mL fluid bolus on urine output in hemodynamically stable critically ill patients with oliguria at least for 2 h (urine output | 0.5 mL/kg/h) in randomized setting. Methods We randomized 130 patients in 1:1 fashion to receive either (1) non-interventional follow-up (FU) for 2 h or (2) 500 mL crystalloid fluid bolus (FB) administered over 30 min. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients who doubled their urine output, defined as 2-h urine output post-randomization divided by urine output 2 h pre-randomization. The outcomes were adjusted for the stratification variables (presence of sepsis or AKI) using two-tailed regression. Obtained odds ratios were converted to risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). The between-group difference in the continuous variables was compared using mean or median regression and expressed with 95% CIs. Results Altogether 10 (15.9%) of 63 patients in the FU group and 22 (32.8%) of 67 patients in FB group doubled their urine output during the 2-h period, RR (95% CI) 0.49 (0.23–0.71), P = 0.026. Median [IQR] change in individual urine output 2 h post-randomization compared to 2 h pre-randomization was − 7 [− 19 to 17] mL in the FU group and 19[0–53] mL in the FB group, median difference (95% CI) − 23 (− 36 to − 10) mL, P = 0.001. Median [IQR] duration of oliguria in the FU group was 4 [2–8] h and in the FB group 2 [0–6] h, median difference (95%CI) 2 (0–4) h, P = 0.038. Median [IQR] cumulative fluid balance on study day was lower in the FU group compared to FB group, 678 [518–1029] mL versus 1071 [822–1505] mL, respectively, median difference (95%CI) − 387 (− 635 to − 213) mL, P | 0.001.
