Just saw an IG reel (foobooz) from today’s Scrapple carving contest at Reading Terminal Market. I think you all need to see it too.

Realized I had not updated my scarf collection album in like 3 years, and also that the ones I hadn't taken photos of were forming a pile in my office, so got that out of the way to start the morning.

New additions at the bottom!

Ayase Ueda spares Japan a lot of blushes but they will need to be much, much better against Brazil on Tuesday.

4 games in the second half of September maybe not so great for the pitch

Signify's other clients include FIFA, World Rugby and the World Tennis Association.

Online abuse of athletes has become a big problem in Japan over the last 5-6 years but I'm curious as to why it's the player's association that's putting up the money for this, rather than NPB.

The Japan Professional Baseball Players Association will use ThreatMatrix to identify and respond to online abuse of players during the NPB postseason.

The service by English company Signify identifies abusive posts, conducts takedown/ID disclosure requests, and shares data with clubs.

I’m helping tend bar at Philly so this is what it feels like to have three heart attacks at once

There’s another dozen people upstairs but the Chujos pulled an all nighter so I’m staying on the first floor just in case they need anything.

For my sins I have showered now so if I wake up at 6 I should be able to order my cheesesteak by the first pitch.

Maybe I should take notes and pitch a blog to @defector.com 🤔

Dan Orlowitz @aishiterutokyo.bsky.social · 2d

Seriously considering leaving the house at 6am tomorrow to go watch Game 4 and then Giants-Eagles at Nihonbashi Philly but not sure what that will do to my psyche.

Also this is why I hate white uniforms with a passion!

Dan Orlowitz @aishiterutokyo.bsky.social · 1d

Dug out my old Cole Hamels jersey and man these sweat stains are... pretty terrible, so I am going to go with another Phils uniform I have while making a mental note to give this one an Oxiclean bath over the weekend 🧼

...but it's a moot point because the Levain Cup will be moved with the new schedule.

I honestly don't think it's necessarily always been an issue (because the teams with a lot of NT players have not necessarily been the ones going deep in the cup), and I think this time it's just the nature of the position and I guess it would have been easier for Moriyasu to call up a J1 player...

This is nothing new TBH, we've had Levain semis during the October international break for at least 10-15 years.
