Behold, the Imperial Standard of Philadelphia-Baltimore
The imperial standard of Austria-Hungary (a black two-headed eagle holding a sword in one talon and a gilded orb in the other, each eagle head with a crown, surrounded by other coats of arms, on a gold field with 9 other crowns, bordered by alternating gold-black-red-white interlacing triangles), but the eagle heads are the logos for the Philadelphia Eagles (a shrieking white and grey eagle facing left, outlined in green) and Baltimore Ravens (a stern purple raven head facing right with a dark gold B superimposed)

come for the Red Sox and Dodgers being open to this new future, stay for George Steinbrenner complaining that revenue-sharing is socialist

My latest for @baseballprospectus.com is on the team presidents of the Red Sox and Dodgers giving public support toward the idea of centralized broadcast revenue and TV rights. Which puts Rob Manfred in a better position for his revenue-sharing plan than Bud Selig was at the start of his own.
The Red Sox and Dodgers Might Defect To the Side of Revenue-Sharing | Baseball Prospectus
Revenue-sharing was once a controversial concept. Now, it could be transformed and expanded.

Smithsonian museums will go dark after Sat. “Murray worries how she will provide for her three children and grandchildren in Capitol Heights, Maryland.”

“I don’t know how I’m going to feed my kids or pay my mortgage,” she said. "It’s not about me. I don’t care if I don’t eat, but I want them to.”

Taijuan Walker is 100x the man of Kershaw, btw.

ABS, check-swing challenges, etc. are the functional equivalent of AI slop of baseball. It’s fascinating how many writers who correctly despise LLMs for the creation of slop somehow can’t understand why these things are a similarly bad idea.

Instead, minor leaguers are forced to be Guinea pigs for a system that will be created by a small number of unaccountable programmers under Morgan Sword, et al. No one will be able to audit it except for preferred academics. We’re all expected to accept & praise it as soon as it comes out.

MLB could very easily Do The Analysis for check swing calls & use that for high level feedback & real negotiation btwn the players, umpires, and league office. If you wanted, you could even codify a rule-of-thumb.

I'm very serious about this: if you use MLB or MiLB “writers” as anything other than a source of press releases, you have genuinely fucked up.

Polite engineering comment, I would *never* call “arbitrary computation and codification of a judgement call using closed sensor platforms” any of the following:
- interesting
- cool

It’s also hugely irresponsible to use MILB.com “articles” (aka “marketing material”) as a source of truth.

I assume Clayton Kershaw is being punished by God because he again didn't do something heterosexually enough. That's on him.

The commentary on Clayton Kershaw in this game was--even for professional sports broadcasts--incredibly undignified.

It's a testament to the Dodgers' industry-leading depth that when one of their accomplished-but-washed chud pitchers duffs a game out of reach they actually have another accomplished-but-washed chud with even worse politics to bring in to mop it up. Most teams don't even have one guy that odious.

It kinda sucks that more people don’t get the benefit of professional editing in their daily writing lives — would have significantly helped me

Gotta get some kinda window hockey net you could mount on the sill like an air conditioner (since screens are no bueno, I’m guessing)

Why are we running into a play at the plate with a seven-run lead?
