Twins Daily's Community Awards: 2023 Season

Yeah, OK, I don't mean to come off sounding bitter, but USAChief and stinger bell won awards for counting stats!! Anybody who wants to type endlessly could have done it won the Most Prolific Posters (MPP). But we here at TD need more than that and need a deeper dive. What was xMPP had the season  gone differently? My xMPP way surpassed both of these award winners if only I had posted!! And I could have posted but, I was afraid to get my rep points into the three digits. So, I guess if you don't care about overexposure their you go.

ACTUALLY, congrats to all the TD award winning posters for their great posts, which I interpret as being done for my enjoyment.

I have to read USAChief's post because he DM'd me and said because he outranked me, I had to give him a R&R (read and rec) for every post. I guess my board name should read USAFSSgt (looooooong time ago).

I second @Verified Member post of thanks. I drifted over here because I got frustrated w/posts at a daily newspaper. The knowledge and civility here are remarkable.

Post on.

I agree that counting stats like posts have no place in modern, analytical blogging. However, xMMP is faulty because it fails to account for the differences in blogger's free time. That's why I like to use xwMMP-FT+, which weights the different kinds of free time (bored on a Saturday, hanging out with friends, on the toilet, etc) based on how many posts a contributor should make in that type of free time. I can confirm that this year's recipients of the MMP award had very high xwMMP-FT+, which makes them unlikely regression candidates.

WEL SAID!!! It is insights like these that keep TD in the forefront of baseball fandom interaction, and allows John Bonnes to pay his rent and buy Arron Gleeman some Chinese take out.

@Brock Beauchamp Thanks so much it is an honor to be a part of the forum! I didn't expect this at all as I have been a lurker for a long time and Brent getting called up finally prompted me to finally start posting. I am so thankful to have seen the Twins win their first playoff game since I was 7 years old. Looking forward to seeing what Brent does next year! Now we just need Falvey to bring another World Series to the Twin Cities.

The weight is lifted off our shoulders so I can say it with pride again: Go Twins!

Are you a baseball reference BxwMMP-FT+, or FxwMMP-FT- type of person? There's only one clear answer.
