Wolfe Weeks

2nd greatest QB of all time? Patrick Mahomes.

@royalsexec Let Jac prove he's not Shohei

Opening week. Ask REB anything.

@LieslsBurner @GatorDiamondPod @Jacktveltri If you think the proper repercussion for a soft bat toss in the general direction of the pitcher is for the pitcher to target the batter and give him a free base, you shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a ballfield

@GatorDiamondPod @Jacktveltri You’re not wrong at all. No need for that. Anyone who does that should take it between the shoulders next AB.

Here’s what happened. Paul Mainieri is fuming right now going at it with two of the umps near the dugout.

🚨 GIVEAWAY TIME 🚨 RT to win a signed @Kenneth_Walker9 jersey, hot off the press!

@developbaseball Beat me to it

New Project: Statcast MCP! For all of our friends who love to use AI agents like Claude or love to code on Cursor, this is for you. We built a Statcast MCP that allows users to communicate with the Statcast APIs in plain English. Examples in the README. This allows non technical people to receive interesting insights into deeper baseball analysis. Any questions, please reach out. Try it out: github.com/alex-rimerman/… We are working towards a public Chat Bot type Agent that allows this to be hosted on our website. Stay tuned👀 #Statcast #MCP #Baseball

Thank you 🙏🏼

Future Royal Paul Skenes™

All Love KC ❤️

Thank you Dairon for changing the way Royals fans think of crayons

@SleeperRoyals @MLB They should go 6-man with Bergert

How are we feeling about this Opening Day Royals rotation projected by @MLB?🫣 (📸: @MLB)

@DerekHayne56813 @Royals Incredibly high risk considering we love giving these types of guys unreasonable amounts of playing time

@Royals I mean, he did hit 26 bombs in 2023, low risk pickup with upside

We have signed INF Brandon Drury to a minor league contract with an invitation to Major League Spring Training.

@dhbytes @Royals_Navy @RealBirdLawyer I think salvy gets in on vibes. Playing for one team and winning ws mvp will push him over the line

@Royals_Navy @RealBirdLawyer I don't think he will. His WAR is insanely low for a HoF. Greinke is getting in easy.

guess Bobby Baseball will have to be KC’s second hall of fame cap

@FoolishBB The only slip I've ever placed (~2 months ago)

Started spreadsheeting all the 2025 hitting data for 5 I Like, Foolish 50, etc. I’ve got one question: Carter Jensen!!! Anyone else seeing this??? He had 69 PA last year, but they were 69 of the finest PA ever taken with seemingly no weakness to his game. He’s gonna with RotY.

@jazayerli x.com/i/status/20132…

To be clear: I think re-hiring Bieniemy as Offensive Coordinator is a completely uninspired choice that does little to address the fact that the Chiefs' offensive scheme has become stale, predictable, and solvable. I am deeply concerned about the direction of the organization.

@dkwillabus @PurpyNFL @golden_beers Good analysis on the ambiguity. To me, I think of it like this: If the defender had stripped the ball at the same moment, but without gaining possession, would most people view it as a fumble or an incomplete pass. My gut tells me the latter, so I lean INT instead of catch.

From the link: clearly performs any act common to the game (e.g., extend the ball forward, take an additional step, tuck the ball away and turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so. So here's where the NFL gets itself into trouble IMO where "clearly" is subjective and rather than define concrete definitions of football moves they only provide examples. So now you get into the question of can it only be a tuck OR must it be a tuck AND turn upfield. The way it's written makes it impossible for anyone to claim a definitive answer because what's listed are merely examples, not defined requirements. In other words, the rules are written in such a way that just because it says "tucks the ball away and turns up the field" doesn't disqualify "tucks the ball away". The weakness of the language is shown today where you have people saying he clearly caught it and people saying he clearly didn't. It's ridiculous that the NFL probably spends millions of dollars writing these rules and they still aren't defined. The conversation should not be about whether or not the ball came loose after he contacted the ground - it should be about what "clearly performs an act common to the game means" and whether or not the officiating crews ever considered that during the replay analysis. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He wasn’t already running with the ball so it isn’t over the second he touches the ground, the catch rules are genuinely not difficult to understand

@dkwillabus @PurpyNFL @golden_beers Ok, I didn't see anything about the order of ops in your tweet, but have confirmed you are correct after looking up the rule. But I also cannot find any language that a tuck alone is considered a football move. operations.nfl.com/the-rules/nfl-…

@wolfeweeks @PurpyNFL @golden_beers No, because in this video he does A-C-B. The order must be A-B-C.

@dkwillabus @PurpyNFL @golden_beers So you view this as a catch? He (A) Secures the ball (B) Gets a body part down (C) Tucks it into his body Tucking is - according to the rules - a football move and at that moment he satisfied all conditions of a catch, making this a touchdown? x.com/i/status/20132…

For starters, the "surviving the ground" thing was eliminated in 2018. I don't know why people are using language to justify a call that's not even in the rulebook. A complete catch is: (A) secure the ball (B) 2 feet or body part down (C) a football move If C is not completed and the receiver contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is incomplete. Note that the language is "contacts the ground" and not "after contacting the ground". On the replay, we see Cooks (A) Secure the ball (B) Get 2 feet down (C) Tuck the ball to his body Tucking is - according to the rules - a football move and at that moment he satisfied all conditions of a catch, making him down by contact.

@UnkWerks @mahomesdahgoat I think the reason our offense has gotten noticeably worse since Bieniemy left was because he was NOT a yes man. He had the balls to let Andy know when he was being an idiot.

@mahomesdahgoat They want a yes man, or everyone in the league knows Andy is the OC and they don’t want a paycheck and a title just to assist with running meetings and practices…

Mike McDaniel unemployed but “Eric Bieniemy” is your top candidate fucking hilarious organization #ChiefsKingdom

@DBach218 @Chris_D_Brewer I'd guess they have some in-house machine learning model that takes ball release metrics, player positioning, and field positioning as inputs right at ball release, and then spits out a number based on that. I'm probably wrong, but 17.8% seems reasonable based on that.

@Chris_D_Brewer I just have so many questions about how exactly they arrive at that number. How many things they’re supposedly accounting for. It feels like so many that the number itself is basically worthless

If your model says this was 17.8% to complete, you need a new model

@checkfoc_us @travisennis @seconds_0

@wolfeweeks @travisennis @seconds_0 that argument is as weak as your last name

this is driving me completely insane ANTHROPIC DID NOT BLOCK OPENCODE OPENCODE COULD STILL USE OPUS FROM THE API THEY WERE BLOCKED FROM USING THE ANTHROPIC SUBSCRIPTION TOKEN WHICH THEY KNEW THEY WERENT SUPPOSED TO BE USING TO GET DISCOUNTED INFERENCE FOR THEIR USERS
