iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

For some reason, I decided to do my home-bound chores first, meaning I accidentally caught most of the Braves-Dodgers and missed most of the Rays game 😞

The upside of the Dodgers-Braves NLDS is that it at least guarantees we won't have a Dodgers-Braves NLCS. I'm glad this is the series confined to the Buck-Smoltz shadow realm, at least

Flipped over to Astros radio broadcast as soon as the Phillies-Braves ended. Was kind of dreading leaving such an exciting game for The Horrors, and it seems like that was justified

The @Astros had just a 6.9% chance to make the postseason on May 20th 😮 Their #Postseason journey begins Tuesday!

A screenshot of the FanGraphs Playoff Odds graph for the Houston Astros, with their lowest odds falling on May 20th at 6.9%. Pictured: Yordan Alvarez high-fives teammates in the dugout wearing an orange Astros uniform with a dark blue batting helmet.

Y'know, I hadn't really kept up with Dean Kremer after the Orioles traded him. Glad to see he's turned it around in Minnesota (especially today!), but also a little frustrating to see, feels like that happens to ex-O's pitchers a lot...

My goodness, what an incredible moment. After Justin Verlander secured the final out of his career, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch came out of the dugout...to summon Verlander's daughter out to embrace her dad on the mound.

trying to finish my playlist article so I can publish it ASAP. Writing my blurbs in a more modular style has generally been a plus, but it does lead to some issues where I'll reference something in consecutive paragraphs, then realize I don't actually want them side by side in the playlist itself

It really is wild how basically every AL team except the Yankees and Rays saw their plans for 2026 go belly-up, in a way that basically all cancelled each other out.

Fun fact, the Astros are one of only three AL teams who are >.500 against winning teams, and the only one currently above .600! (Granted, given the quantity of teams hovering right around .500, this can change by the day...)

The media gave more coverage to a totally fake, invented idea that the federal government was withholding aid to Hurricane Helene victims in 2024 than to Trump actually doing it in 2025/26. Why did the fake story get more coverage than the real one?

The Astros were down to a 43% chance of making the playoffs after the 3-6 homestands. The winning week in NY (and the poor weeks for TEX and SEA) have pushed it up to 67%. 25 games left. 2 games (plus tiebreaker) up on the AL West. Just win baby.

the news media understood perfectly that stuff like this was what was actually at stake in the 2024 election and told voters instead that the larger issue was that it was a scandal that Tim Walz retired after 21 years in the national guard

Unless I’m mistaken, the Astros’ radio broadcast just said that the A’s have spent more total days in first place of the AL West than anyone else in 2026, despite currently having the worst record in the AL. What a weird division this year.

I only did a quick check rather than a full verification, but I believe AJ Blubaugh recently claimed the MLB record for “most games wearing #69”
