Last thing I’ll say regarding hitter timing. I liken the swing to a wave. We see the crest and the crash, but the story lies in the wave’s formation.
Do we currently have the ability to measure the formation? I say no.
Wrote about what's behind Shohei Ohtani's nearly-two-months-and-counting-homerless drought.
Short answer: his timing seems wonked

A sign of a good Bat Path is the ability to make flush contact across a range of POCs
As POC moves further out front:
• Attack Angle increases
• Both HAA & HBA work from oppo to pull-side
This means solid contact goes from low oppo➡️LD to CF➡️in the air pull-side

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

He’s done it in back-to-back games

If you like Pokémon, perhaps I can introduce you to another turn-based RPG with switching out, deep stat analysis, field conditions, and a whole host of oddly named and shaped little guys to choose as your comfort character. That's right, it's Baseball.

Victor Wembanyama was asked if he would ever sign a deal with a sports betting company: “Absolutely not. Honestly, I think it’s very sad to see some players promote it.”

Rafael Flores Jr. had a ... colorful way of explaining his homer run. Which came after a 98-mph fastball up & in from Nate Pearson.

It’s Hispanic Heritage Night at Camden Yards and when Orioles’ Latino players ran out onto the field pregame to rep their countries’ flags, a contingent of Brewers decided to join them.

US forces have bombed somewhere every year since 2001. Al Jazeera's AJ Labs maps the so-called “war on terror”.

A SLU law professor says the real fight is now the governor versus the Missouri Supreme Court, and the court has no enforcement mechanism. "Let's see them enforce it." Where that puts Missouri in the history books: next to Andrew Jackson and the Cherokee.

Cops are now using financial data and traffic patterns captured by Flock cameras to pull people over for being "suspicious."
Full story: 404media.co/a-secretive-dhs-…
This is the beginning of "pre-crime" or "predictive" policing, where police pull over people they think have committed a crime without having any evidence that they have done so.
This police stop in this video was based in part on “information contained within law enforcement-sensitive systems suggesting financial activity patterns commonly associated with illicit narcotics activity.”

New: a secretive DHS predictive policing unit is analyzing Americans' financial activity, feeding those names to police, then having cops pull them over. Not suspected of specific crime. We're revealing unit name: Predictive Intelligence Targeting Team 404media.co/a-secretive-dhs-…

Pretty astounding stuff in Missouri today. The state of MO argued in front of the MO Supreme Court that they plan on defying court orders & MO law by placing the gerrymandered map on the Nov ballot even if the referendum is ruled legal. I hope everyone’s paying attention. #MoLeg
