I'll Be in the Sky

Best of luck on your next purpose

It’s been great watching the evolution, don’t get stagnant, and keep on being a bringer of truth, lighter of torches, and quality Rays fan.

Best of luck with your future endeavors, and all of us here are going to miss the hell out of you (Even SF1)

Will you still comment here or are you to shimmer away like a unicorn fart?

Thanks for all of your hard work over the years. Now don’t be a lurker stranger! :)

Although i am still in the market for trading you. Hmm…

A big thank you for the time and effort you put into DRB. Don’t be a stranger.

Thanks for making me a more educated baseball fan, and in turn a better Rays fan.

Good luck RJ. I’m sure you will piss people off wherever you go… what with your sound, well-reasoned arguments and all. Keep on keeping on, but don’t forget to stop back for Game Day Threads.

I’m not going anywhere new and yes, I’ll probably comment throughout the year.

and best of luck with everything you are doing now.

Looking forward to GDTs even more now.

You’re the reason I now hate when anyone references ERA.

This is a big deal, as far as the nerdosphere goes. First Sky retires from BtBS, now this?

Good luck Mr Anderson and thanks for the ride:

You will be missed.

Way to go out in style. Thanks for all your help. I can’t speak for others on the staff who have come on with you on board but without happening upon DRB, I would enjoy baseball far less than I do today. You’re leaving the sight in good hands with a deeper staff then ever thanks to your willingness to answer questions. Selfishly sad to see you go, but there’s no doubt incredible things are on the horizon for you. I look forward to following your successes.

While DRB continues to have one of the most intelligent collection of content-generating writers the internet has not quite seen, the loss of your regular contributions will leave a large hole here that won’t go unnoticed.

Good luck in whatever you elect to pursue in the future. If you demonstrate the same skill and effort that you’ve demonstrated here, I’m certain you won’t go unrewarded.

and the first thing I could think of was the “Caste System” column. One of the many great works I’ve read on this site.

Best of luck in your future endeavors.

To me, who started reading this site two years ago, you are DRB. It’s going to be very odd not having you around, but you’re going to rock no matter where you are. Good luck and god speed!

This site is the main reason that I am OCD about the Rays and not just another fan. What you’ve done here and on Fangraphs is nothing short of amazing.

:’(

Its going to be more than a little weird checking DRB 10 times a day and not seeing your name under most of the posts. You’ve done more than just run this site with unbelievable diligence, but enhanced my (along with countless others) understanding and attachment to not only the Rays but the game of baseball. Thanks for all you have done and the best of luck to you in whatever you end up doing.

I hope you will be around. Best of luck in your endeavors.

Good luck R.J. I look forward to seeing where the ride takes you. You’ll be missed, and you’d better stick around.

as both a metrician and a fan. I owe you for my passion and understanding of the game.

Don’t be a stranger or I will cause SRQman bodily harm!

Like many others on this site, I learned a vast amount from RJ about the game…specifically the use of statistical analysis. Many of these things learned have helped out my though process on the game and for that I will be forever thankful. Hope this is the first of many steps up for you!

All the best for whatever you put your hand to in the future.

We’ll always have your Ben Zobrist prediction<3

HOW DID I MISS THIS?! NO! NO NO NO! NO! RJ NO!
