Let’s go to the MLB app and check tomorrow’s starting pitchers, like I have for years! …uhhhhhh @mlbatbat
English
.@mlbatbat not showing the pitching matchups by default (and having to click on each one!) is insane
English
.@mlbatbat the worst change is the missing expand all / collapse all in the main Scores view. I rely on this view to see who’s at bat in every game, and to see the SP in the upcoming games.
English
@MLBPlayerAnalys @mlbatbat please restore the lost functionality and information
English
Geez what has happened to the MLB app in this redesign, it has lost so much information from the scores tab. Neither the Card View or List View have the information they used to show for every game, which was exactly what I wanted to see. I used Score tab more than actual games.

Cormac McCarthy is a good metric for how well you can read—it’s not the faux literary fluff that gets praised today, but it’s also not readily apparent to the reader. So much is said in what is unsaid, so you have to really read. For example:
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️@christopherrufo
I read the first hundred pages of The Road last year, and read the first hundred pages of Blood Meridian this year, and in both instances, gave up, because the books never clicked. Lyrical writing, but the characters are reduced to way down Maslow's hierarchy, and the tone is so relentlessly bleak, with almost no humanity breaking through, it was difficult to feel anything besides the flint clicking against the cold steel in the overwhelming darkness. I know many of you love it, but to me, it's overwrought, overstylized, and overhyped.

@FAmmiranteTFJ Frank. Last pick in a 12-team dynasty Strat draft. Marcelo Mayer, Cole Young, Bryce Eldridge, or Mick Abel? thx
English
@orwellian Keep beating this drum! Everybody acts like this is no big deal but I would be unable to dive onto the ground for money, fame, and/or love. Just like I couldn’t walk into the path of a speeding car. I don’t get it!
English
??? How do they just get back up like that, I really don’t get it at all.
Don’t tell me it’s the grass, I have broken bones on grass

@BNightengale We should’ve traded him. He’s all about himself first and not the team.

Tough news for the Cincinnati Reds: Ace Hunter Greene will be sidelined until July with arthroscopic surgery scheduled Wednesday to remove bone chips and loose bodies from his right elbow.

I see No lan Jones is in midseason form!
.115/.148/.269

@orwellian Yes! A guy like Vogelbach throws himself at a base, goes fully airborne, and nobody says “that’s insane”
English
@stratanonymous Yes, exactly! People will say things like, “well it’s grass” and i have no idea how that can legitimately help, but it’s all weird magic to me
Also have no clue how anyone is sliding regularly and not dying/covered with bruises either…. Baffling
English
I know I ask about this a lot, but I really don't understand how they just get right back up
Also not dying from that bubble gum either. How?

🚨BREAKING: Researchers just built an AI that runs fully autonomous scam calls. It remembers your previous answers, adapts its persuasion in real-time, and sounds indistinguishable from a human. Every single safety guardrail failed to stop it. This is terrifying: A Rutgers University researcher built "ScamAgent" an autonomous AI that conducts full scam calls. No human operator needed. It doesn't read a script. It plans. It remembers. It adapts. Here's the trick: ScamAgent breaks scams into tiny, harmless-looking steps. Friendly greeting. Build trust. Create urgency. Ask for bank details. Each step looks innocent alone. Together - a complete social engineering attack. They tested it against GPT-4, Claude 3.7, and LLaMA3-70B. Direct harmful prompt? All three refused. Same task split across multiple turns? Refusal rates collapsed. Every model folded. It ran insurance scams, fake lotteries, government fraud, job cons, and official impersonation. Cautious target? It softened. Compliant target? It escalated. Resistant? It switched tactics mid-call. Then they added off-the-shelf voice cloning. Realistic tone, pacing, emotion. Once it's audio, content filters can't even see it. A Qualys VP said this is "likely already happening in the wild." You're not getting scam calls from overseas call centers anymore. You're getting them from an AI that never sleeps and never forgets what you said.

@SPeeblesSports @Senga2Alvarez 1. Tell me who the side was. List them.
2. Then tell me if the pitcher struck them out.
English
@Senga2Alvarez Striking out the side just means that all 3 outs recorded were strikeouts
English
How did he strike out the side if there's a runner on second base
FOX Sports: MLB@MLBONFOX
Edwin Diaz struck out the side to finish out Puerto Rico's win 😤

@JoshEberley I mean, the first 20 minutes of OBAA was all seams. Not exactly an effortless watch imo.

Is PTA winning because One Battle After Another was crafted as a more seamless and engaging film than Sinners? OR is PTA winning because he’s PTA and has a cult following?

@RealEmirHan I've watched this scene many many times and still not sure its true meaning.

"I've never been interesting to anybody. I work in an office. People walk right by me. I know they don't see me. And I go home and I watch my wife and my kids. They don't look up when I sit down."

@SopranosCooking @RealEmirHan Leonard literally describes himself as a product in a fridge. He’s Coca-Cola. Don’s an ad man.
