What they're saying

"
Colt Rosensweig and her two Doberman service dogs, Caris and Curtis, have been in attendance for so much winning at the Oakland Ballers games she has all the other fans beat. The Ballers are taking metrics from the diamond and transferring those numbers up into the stands and their fan base – with co-founder Paul Freedman developing their unique version of “WAR,” or Wins Above Replacement, which tells how many more victories a player provides a team over someone else who might be called into action instead.
