Which “do no harm ethos” is worse, this garbage aimed at making people ignorant, or google’s PR bullshit?

I’ve been told no don’t worry about Bednar ST velo down 2.2 mph It’s early etc, he’s been lower in ST before Not like this And presumably in WBC “now it counts” and he’s still -2 It was close before ST but I have him below Devin & Chapman Historical ST FF vel & wbc game feed:

Love the savant game feeds. But to make it a one stop, is it possible to get classic box score listing of “SB:”, “HR:”, etc? Maybe we don’t need all the info (eg HBP) but my current practice is check box elsewhere then go to savant for certain deeper looks @mikepetriello.bsky.social

I’m sure Brian Wilson would’ve been thrilled to see “wouldn’t it be nice” used by United Health to tout how humane they are while using ai to deny Medicare claims and just generally being destructive af for actual health care

#genreroulette #musicchallenge #jazz The McCann oeuvre ca. 1968-71 really blurs the lines with r&b but not in a funk/fusion style. Piano is almost a percussion instrument— youtu.be/-ogz6omajEw

This game should be a submission for Cade’s all nba, if not mvp, cases They are the clogged toilet offense without him (and the d is worse too)

The cowboys were after Crosby and offered two firsts Why did they not just pay Parsons again?

The Ben Rice helium has deflated. It shouldn’t. Cags hits the ball as hard as Kurtz in the air—but not often enough—with better contact skills. Is he a Kurtz/Yandy mashup? With assists from @notthebobbyorr.bsky.social’s awesome new app: open.substack.com/pub/michaelc...

Pete Alonso ripped 89 barrels last year 38 homers Usual HR/BRL would be ~49 of 89 Camden changes made it a 108 for RH HR Citi was a 98 (but 109 rolling 3 yr) His brl% could drop but HR rise

What if it takes years to see it through to compl— Preemptive mission accomplished!

If it’s possible to regret / have fomo for post 400 picks Mick Abel is it 55% FF whiffs today brought the pitch’s whiff% *down* Braves backups but he had 70% FF whiffs vs Tigers regulars last start Most importantly: 60%+ zone rate on both fastballs He’s ⬆️ to 350ish in recent OCs

Experts unanimously agreed Cam Johnson for MPJ was a yooge win for the Nuggs I’m sorry but he doesn’t play with force, isn’t a tertiary ball handler, low reb%, and not even shooting well Never understood the obsession here (m/w bad team but Porter is lighting it up as primary scorer in BK)

ST notes: KC v Col: Cags 2B (115 EV), 3 bb Condon HR (116 EV) Cle: Bibee more cutters, same rough results (3 h, 3 r, 0 k) Hou: Burrows ⬆️ sinkers, ⬇️ FF, 3 ip, 1 h, 1 bb, 0 R, 4 K Tor: Cease velo good, 8/15 whiffs Pit: Brax results good (0 R, 1.80 era, 2 K), whiffs ⬇️ Bubba C 3 bb in 1.1 IP, 2 R

More enshittification: “Lilly” blasted from the front of the Inside the NBA desk Pharma, insurance cos., ai— if it’s popular the destabilizing forces of capital will find it and make us feel a little fucking gross for participating

Suspect Silver got tired of hearing his league didn’t play defense but no idea what qualifies as a perimeter foul anymore It’s now standard for nba defenders to put hands ON the chest or through arms of ball handlers These were reaches for 85 years

#genreroulette #musicchallenge #soul youtu.be/DRd-bjFfjNc

It isn’t working (54.0 era) but Jose Soriano is throwing way more four seamers 32% and 42% vs 9% last year Theoretically a 98+ mph FF could push up the overall whiff% and K% But he doesn’t get great spin/ride on it and it’s running less Looks like a barrel laser so far

Wrote up 20+ pitchers by looking at the quality of contact they allow on fly balls. You’d probably guess Chris Sale suppresses damage, but Ryan Feltner? Who got unlucky on FB damage? open.substack.com/pub/michaelc...

#genreroulette #musicchallenge #rock I was late to catch up to it, but the most recent J White album is a full return to form— youtu.be/MvIuBZhp-0c

We all love Sal Stewart but why is he going for $8 Aranda is $6 (and $4.85 last 7 OLAC) Both have FT PA questions Aggregated projections: Stewart $4 Aranda $5 Aranda 11% SwStr, EV / HH% similar to Rice, Seager, Yandy 12th in xwOBA (min. 400 PA)

the Tkachuk boys perfectly represent the big dumb American stereotype

Used to joke that Kenny Albert sounded like he had rocks in his mouth but after seeing him more than anyone should want to, it’s gotta be pebbles. He can barely open that thing.

Generally agree with @nateduncannba.bsky.social on many issues. But save the outrage re Jazz fine. This wasn’t new. Last year after Jan. 1 they “rested” Markkanen almost every other game- and got fined $100k (+ likely warned before and after)… last March. It’s been absurd for a year.

Since Jokic returned Jan. 30, Nuggets are 4-6 Losses to (injured) OKC, Cavs, Pistons, Knicks, Clipps Wins vs Bulls, Grizz Joker can only miss one more game to qualify for mvp, but even if he does, a rocky finish opens the door

Keep an eye on COL 1B TJ Rumfield for d&h and nl only leagues Big dude, doesn’t crush the ball but 18.4 k% & 9.4 swstr% his worst last two seasons in aa/aaa .320-330 babips going to Coors? 25.6% pull air% S600: 15/4/.252 1B is “wide open”

Cade is more efficient than Ant. CC > Ant in vorp, way ahead in BPM, much better ws/48, and identical PER Cade > Spider in all except PER Cade + defender on NBA’s 2nd best D 2nd best record, +7-8 G > Min, Cle Detroit’s 3rd best player is… Tobias? @ZachLoweNBA.bsky.social @HowardBeck.bsky.social

Down is still up in the wasteland, but through the disingenuous babble it’s true that courts are annoyingly circumscribed (even if it’s obvious that illegal tariff revenue can’t be retained) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The NL Central's glut of hitting prospects makes their organizations among those to keep an eye on in 2026, and today's piece focuses on the names we'll be closely following. Big slugging bats, elite catchers, and young phenoms galore!

This sucks. Illinois would “only” cover $880M of costs, but you can always find some egomaniacal, bad faith pols to build monuments to themselves. Indy’s governor: “Indiana moves at the speed of business.” Cach 5? www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Go to watch Michigan handle Purdue and it’s fuckin nepo baby eagle again The fact I hear him 10x as often as Harlan (or his dad) is a minor tragedy.

Thank god they exposed Janis Joplin. There’s no basis for DoJ to withhold anything based on attorney-client privilege. The privilege exists b/w the law firm/DoJ and its client ( Also incredible being present in a photo of torture or abuse gets the perp redacted.
