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

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

Grant hill is like a mannequin hooked up to gpt

If you have Rafterh there no need for a bland third wheel

That was newsy re Barger v lefties, hadn’t seen that. So is he going to be full time? Or face the occasional lefty?

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—

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?

Ben Rice C1 and Jac v Kurtz Comparison Popping the Proverbial Hood With Air Balls EV and Damage Rate

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?

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

Good stuff, Frank. I’ve noticed Dicky Fitts has the velo up. Interesting given that rotation.

Fox Newwws launched Oct. 7, 1996

Answer implied in the second tweet.
Fox launched Oct. ‘96

Latest from the up is down ticker

THAT’s the scary idea

Enjoyed your appearance on EW pod.

Found use cases for the adrift @nytimes.com

1 Satire. “THIRD way,” almost 20 years old, gets ingenuous treatment for “new” Combative Centrist consultant lmfao

2 Warning. No one has better sources w/ these cynical grifters and their deep procedural plan to fulfill the DNC’s confused objectives

Definitely can be done in a couple weeks with no further entanglements

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

Answer is language is not the same
(Also would you believe them even if they said it was?)

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
