"Skipper takes on an ambitious Moneyball-esque premise: a deep dive into the ongoing struggle for control that often takes place behind the scenes between MLB managers and the ownership groups, and now, their data analysts.

Packed with baseball history, interviews with dozens of MLB's current stars and veterans, and an exclusive, inside look at the day-to-day life of a manager competing for the World Series, the LA Dodgers' Dave Roberts, Skipper is a fascinating look into the highs, the lows, and the inner workings of the changing world of professional baseball"-- Prologe-PET projects Office spaces and offspring It's only a game The autocrats Cribbage and skunks: the players' managers American skin: the margins Laptops and lap dogs The upstairs Vs. the downstairs Tangled up in Dodger Blue The new norm The new rules Epilogue-The future Scott Miller.
