Stupid question. Why wasn’t Tucker on this list?

Can someone explain this like I’m an idiot

It’s been a tournament full of high scoring games. Pitching and also lack of timely hitting by certain teams has me thinking we were just a couple injuries away from being at least a 3 seed and getting a shot. Jake brown injury hurt. Starting pitcher injuries hurt. Looking forward to next year

FP&A manager

One thing I’ve really enjoyed in my FP&A role lately is using AI to improve my thinking process and logic development.

For example, I’m currently helping implement a BI tool at our company and rolling out dashboards across our teams. We’re giving people access to data they’ve never really had before (at least not this quickly or without a ton of manual work) and allowing them to analyze it in ways we never could previously.

What’s interesting is that I came into this with essentially zero IT background. But through using AI as a learning tool, I’ve become fairly comfortable with SQL, Python in Jupyter notebooks, and building logic within datasets to drive the right outputs and reporting.

The biggest benefit has honestly been the learning aspect. I don’t just ask AI for answers, I ask why it arrived at those answers, how the logic works, and what could be improved. It’s accelerated my learning curve tremendously.

I’m fortunate that while we still have deadlines and expectations, they’re realistic, and I’m given the freedom to build processes and help improve the company. It’s been a great balance and honestly a win-win.
