Milwaukee and Tampa Bay have the most AI analysts (46 and 39) on staff of all MLB teams. From scouting to training to field decisions it’s a new, hidden-to-the-fan world.

I spent 30 years in academia. Here are my observations about my students. Toward the end, I was teaching “Gen Z." These students combined ignorance with strident moral certainty. They seemed to have had no general education at all, and lacked the most basic knowledge of history, even recent history. They were immature and emotionally fragile.
Many could not handle criticism, no matter how sugar coated. It took very little to reduce them to tears – or to send them into a fit of narcissistic rage. They were shockingly bereft of intellectual curiosity, and many gave the impression of having no internal life at all.
I'll share more observations later.

When Bad Things Happen to Bad People: an Owner's Manual.
1) It is okay to be glad when evil and hypocrisy are ever so slightly diminished
2) A fleeting moment of wondering if the bad barge might be finally turning back is to be expected.
Seeing the despicably cruel, heartless and abusive way that many people in UK and US have responded to the deaths of conservative politicians, Ann Widdecombe and Lindsey Graham, reminds me that the least kind people on earth are ironically those on the #BeKind woke left.

They need to send National Guard troops to the Reflecting Pool so shoo away the baby ducks.

They were careless people, Trump and Miller- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.
An odd little corner of the Epstein story alleges a touring band was used to traffic girls in the 80s. If one band did it, you can bet others were enlisted. savingcountrymusic.com/cowpu…
