A farewell to “plan powder”

I write to you now from beyond the grave.

As some of you may recall, I used to be a Mavs Moneyball writer. Though I moved along some years ago, I’ve returned for one more big score. Because I want to share this moment with you, the people of MMB, specifically.

In my time at MMB, I wrote hundreds, perhaps thousands of columns about what Mike Fisher dubbed “plan powder”— as good a name then as it is now — and what a terrible idea it was. I wrote multiple posts on this subject a day. For years.
