I wonder why every team hasn't gone with some version of this as of yet.  

I was also wondering this myself.  The Angels could at least utilize an extension of what Driveline offers to it's clients.  Driveline has a great business plan and already free testimonials from MLB players.  If I was Driveline, I would not be excited to help teams develop their own program.  A consulting model makes more sense allowing Driveline to keep all of the systems and data mining they use proprietary.

Also I’m just an adult fan who thinks he knows what he’s talking about, so there’s that. 

That's the problem.  It annoys the people who really think they know what they are talking about.

Hope this helps:

Undefinable real numbers are the numbers that can not be uniquely described by definable predicates, so the notion is useful in studying the language of analysis rather than its objects, which is the main subject of the classical analysis.

I look forward to this becoming a running joke when Pena inevitably has a bad outing.

Wow....that course is a little outside of my current abilities.  I'm not sure I could keep the ball in play on such a tight course.  Good luck!

I love me some Buttes. I haven't stayed there in a long time though. It's so expensive now.

We used to regularly play the old Riverview course in Mesa which closed when they built the Cubs new Sloan Park Stadium on part of that land. Now we just do Top Golf and call it even.
