No question that walks kill you. Throwing strikes is good. Throwing the crummiest pitches, I.e., the pitches with the lowest chance of being a base hit, that the batters will still swing at, is SUBLIME.

A key ingredient in pasties (Cornish meat pies) that are a staple of the UP of Michigan. Try as I may, I’m just not a fan.

Salad that was in the garden 5 minutes ago (except the feta). Mesclun mix coming in, cuke, green & red bell peppers, three kinds of tomatoes. Can’t get fresher, doubt you could find better. I’ll hold the cheese for @planetesh.bsky.social

OK. Finally gotta say it. Baseball uniforms should be...uniform. Decide on how the team is gonna wear their socks/pants and everybody do it. Change from game to game if you want to see which one is luckier. Wheew, there Isaid it.

An incredible deal. I bought a 1-month consecutive travel - FIRST CLASS - for €406 ($463). Travel must begin by 27 AUG 27. Buy it in € instead of $ to save $20. 2nd Class usually 25% less, but bypassing overcrowded 2nd class wagons is worth it for me.

So, roughly $8.85 and $10.15 per gallon in US terms. I'm going to the UK in a few weeks and plan on renting a eV for like $30/day. Does that sound like a good plan?

It's hard to put into words how extraordinarily important & vital the USPSTF was, & how enormously it influenced medicine & public health in profoundly valuable & beneficial ways And it's really hard to adequately convey the depth of my rage & sadness that the MAHA Administration destroyed it

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”

Like everything else Trump “fixes,” the reflecting pool (along with the war in Iran, gas prices, beef prices, and mortgage rates) is in exponentially worse shape than when he started.

55 years ago today, Montreal Expos second baseman Ron Hunt was hit by a pitch by Chicago Cubs right-hander Milt Pappas in the second inning. It was the 50th time Hunt was hit by a pitch in the 1971 season. That remains the record for most HBPs in a season since 1900.

@bluejaysingermany.bsky.social @britishorioles.bsky.social nice that you guys have 3 day-ish games this week. Growing up, all MLB post-season games were day games. Sneaking transistor radios into school was an art. Super cool teachers borrowed a TV from the library so we could watch the game.

22 years ago today, the Montreal Expos played their final home game at Olympic Stadium. The Expos lost 9-1 to the Marlins in front of 31,395 fans. Tony Batista scored the final run for the Expos in the fourth inning when he doubled and then scored on a single by Juan Rivera.

Got my COVID and Flu shots yesterday. Gotta love those fever dreams last night. Not overly scary, but bizarre do-loops and I know I'm in a do-loop and can't get out. Feel OK this morning and cautiously optimistic that the worst may be over sooner that past Covid immunizations.

AI is the Eddie Haskell of research engines. If you point out an error in an answer, it says, "You're right! Blah, blah, blah." It's total BS if you use it in an area where you are a SME.

It's already estimated that the richest 1% alone evade $163 billion in taxes every year. But Trump gutted the IRS — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires. The agency's audit revenue fell 35%. Now, Trump's IRS is not publishing data on unpaid taxes. See the problem?

Imagine charging up for free at home from a bank of solar panels on the roof that paid for themselves 7 years ago. Or the fact that my first Nissan Leaf had a whopping $800 in maintenance costs over the 10 years I had it - 4 new tires & a new 12V battery.

If you've played a lot, you've seen this - first a stampede to the bat rack in the opposing dugout, then muttering after they lose. Throwing the ball low & on the black, 4 or more pitches of different velo & movement. Ricky Horton at UVa then StL/LAD was like this, never throwing harder than 85mph.
