Managing the Lowell Spinners this summer, so I built a free steal decision app. Pitcher time to plate + catcher pop time vs. runner steal time = green, yellow, or red. Works on any phone, tablet, or laptop. Coaches, use it: spinnersgreenlightsteals.net…

We turned ourselves into muppets and it’s the most appropriate use of AI possible tbh.
Slack's Slack has been overrun by ChatGPT augmented avatars. Thank you friends @OpenAI.

louder for the coaches who are yelling at the kids still.
Big leaguers perform better when they are happy. They want to be there & work hard. So maybe parents shouldn’t chew out their kid before & after games & coaches shouldn’t yell & make them miserable during the game.
