Bradfo Sho, Ep. 79: The life and death of Carmine the Computer

The Red Sox much-discussed information system, "Carmine," is being retired after this season, being replaced by a new operating platform the team is calling "Beacon." The man who was the chief force behind the building of Carmine, former Red Sox senior analyst Tom Tippett, joins Rob Bradford to discuss the origins of the system and how the world of analytics took off in the baseball world. Tippett tells the story of how the Red Sox found him, his path toward helping build the team's analytics department, and how he views the evolution of information in Major League Baseball.
