    I love nerding out with the guys. My favorite part is how they throw out ideas and test the hypotheses together. The assumptions are clearly stated and these guys think outside the box in terms of both lineup construction and models to test.

    Almost more impressively, they keep the episodes short and entertaining, and tell you their plan before testing it out.

    Keep up the great work!
