I got back home a bit ago from Tennessee's execution of Christa Pike. We sat in the witness room for nearly 2 and a half hours as she received two rounds of pentobarbital. She was taken away in an ambulance shortly after that and I can't say for sure if she is dead or alive at this moment.

Next year Mike Elias will figure out things like “sunglasses for the outfielders”

Going down looking, a fitting end for this O’s season

I really despise that “play your best players” is now a fringe position in baseball

The O’s won the series so I will NOT be watching Chris Bassitt give up homers to a catcher with a career OPS that starts with a 5

Carlos Narvaez at bats feels like a throwback to when pitchers used to hit

The O’s clubhouse and broadcast booth can’t say enough nice things about Chris Bassitt, which is great, but the one thing you won’t hear them compliment is, you know, his pitching

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:

Al has become my reading buddy as I've plowed through my summer book list, helping me keep track of plots and characters, unpack themes, and make sense of wordy, old prose.
• Why it matters: The way many of us actually read books - a few pages before bed, a chapter at the beach, another on a plane - makes it easy to lose the thread. Al can help you pick it back up without starting over.
Ш I really got into using Al while reading James Fenimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans." The text was far too dense for casual vacation reading. My first prompt asked:
• "T'd like a guide as I read The Last of the Mohicans who can help me understand what I've read and where the story is, without giving spoilers or getting ahead of my progress. Can you do this, chapter by chapter?"
• The robot agreed: "Cooper's sentences are long and his diction is archaic."

This is about 500 words and yet Elias did not answer the question about why he should be in charge

Elias has been saying some version of “the future starts now” for four-plus years

Alby seems to push the wrong buttons pretty often but it’s not his fault that most of the buttons say “put in bad relief pitcher”

I’m not worried about this bummer of a loss because David Rubenstein tells me the Orioles can simply win 70% of their remaining games

Now @apnews.com has a deeply reported story confirming the recently-hired ICE officer who shot a man in Maine had serious mental health issues and a long history of violence against women. This comes after ICE slashed hiring standards and rushed some into the field before background checks cleared.

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot a Colombian man in Maine this week is an Army veteran who has struggled with serious mental health issues since early childhood and never should have been given a badge and gun to patrol American streets, several of his close relatives told The Associated Press.

David Brouillette has a history of terrifying and violent behavior, according to those relatives. They accuse him of attacking women in his life over the years, and one shared a voicemail with the AP from last winter in which he told her that he thought someone should slit her throat.

Brouillette’s troubling past further challenges how thoroughly the Department of Homeland Security has vetted recruits as it went on a hiring spree to help carry out President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

At least 10 people have died in encounters with immigration agents since Trump launched the crackdown after retaking office, including 25-year-old Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a Colombian national who was shot and killed by Brouillette on Monday while in his car near his home in the coastal Maine city of Biddeford.

DHS, which hasn’t released the name of the officer who killed Durán Guerrero, has said the “vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.”

News organizations should periodically stop and look in the mirror and ask themselves “Have we internalized copspeak to the point that our headlines indistinguishable from police department email subject lines?”

This is niche but something I'm a huge grump about are overly earnest film journalists using press junkets for content creation. I know it's hard out here for journalists and you gotta do what you gotta do, but stop making Steven Spielberg read your high school film diary for clout!

Historically weak AL and the O’s are in last place in the division. This season stinks.
