I understand that MLB is using AI to help call balls and strikes this year. I wonder when our antiquated government operated ATC (air traffic control) system will finally implement AI to overcome human failures? For example, an overwhelmed air traffic controller recently cleared a fire truck to cross an active runway while a previously cleared plane was landing on the same runway. It didn’t end well.

"What Would Claude Do?" may become the next WWJD and that might not be all bad.

My experience is reliable power hitting is very scarce. Elite pitching is next in scarcity. I have had better success in my fantasy play prioritizing pitching than hitting. Reason being that outside of Judge, Ohtani and Schwarber and maybe a couple of others, it has proven risky to pay up for power. But the best pitchers have been fairly consistent from one season to the next.

This cool wonky analysis makes me wish I cared about baseball …

Instead my hobby is karaoke, which few others care for.

Here’s a great link about org degradation because of uncorrected errors, due to the org defense in favor of stability.

My career was hampered because of my pointing out org errors, I suspect Arnold’s was too. So many of the links here are good at pointing out criticisms.

It’s really difficult to care during the slog of 162 regular season games vs. the 17 regular season NFL games. That grind is not for the faint hearted. Bless those that are willing to make it through. I’ll see you in October. Go Texas Rangers!
