I had one piece this week for subscribers to the Athletic, on the Reds-Rockies trade and Atlanta’s two free agent signings<\/a>, as well as a piece last week on what we can learn from the various pro leagues’ approaches to the pandemic<\/a>. I held a Periscope video chat<\/a> on Thanksgiving day while I spatchcocked the turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over at Paste<\/em>, I ranked the ten best deduction board games<\/a>, including Coup and this year’s The Search for Planet X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I held off on sending the next issue of my free email newsletter until after the holiday so I could write up the trade and signings, but I’ll get one out in the next 48 hours. You can sign up for free here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first book, Smart Baseball<\/em>, got a glowing review<\/a> from SIAM News<\/em>, a publication of the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics. You can buy Smart Baseball<\/em><\/a> and my second book, The Inside Game<\/em><\/a>, at any bookstore, including bookshop.org via those links, although Smart Baseball <\/em>has been backordered there for a while. You can check your local indie bookstore or buy it on amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now, the links\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
