Stray thought: If someone could absolutely master throwing a ~40 mph eephus pitch for strikes, enough to get it over 65-70% of the time, could they consistently get outs as a major league reliever?
Every single day on Twitter you learn about some new dipshit with a dopey haircut, a timeline full of horrible takes and 100K followers.
@OGTedBerg Formerly Motus, currently Driveline Pulse is pretty useful, I’ve used it twice in rehab capacities and it certainly has utility in non-rehab cases
@OGTedBerg This is already largely happening with Hawkeye/Kinatrax/Theia3d passively with optical cameras. Don't think MLB needs to pair with a wearable company to do more at the moment. (Talk about anti-selling!)
@OGTedBerg PULSE has been pretty good - only MLB-approved wearable in-game at the moment. But only Nick Martinez wears it in MLB. In MiLB about 5-7 orgs are using it to some effect.
Tyrone Taylor wearing #15 in the tradition of great Mets outfielders like Tim Tebow
Almost got hit by a Range Rover with Jersey plates jolting backward into a crosswalk, then this motherfucker has the temerity to give *me* a dirty look as he speeds off. Apologize, you cock. I can’t wait until you’ll pay $15 to befoul this city with your car and douchebaggery.
This is a funny thing to be asking in the year of our lord 2024, but what website do you use for live-updating MLB scoreboards and box scores? Got so used to the hosted STATS Inc. pages we had on SNY-dot-tv that I kept using them long after SNY did, but they now seem fully dead.

@OGTedBerg I’ve long thought this. Heck, the fielders that come in to pitch in blowouts *do* get outs…
@OGTedBerg Yes, but could never be used with men on - it would be a track meet.
@OGTedBerg I do recall after I got drafted there was an arm injury study (that I believe was independent) going on where they did a markered biomechanics study on newly drafted pitchers to be checked if they ever got hurt, curious if anything came of it, I did end up as an active data point
@drivelinekyle @OGTedBerg tinfoil hat was maybe not the right phrasing, you’re right, the concerns are always potentially justifiable.
@HackAttackimer @OGTedBerg > the wearable gives you 5G glaucoma
@OGTedBerg No, it's not. My proposal is that the league funds it by pooling money from ownership and putting out an RFP from labs like ASMI and so forth to help.
@HackAttackimer @OGTedBerg I don't think this is such an irrational fear, though. Without clear expectations and data privacy agreements, players should probably worry about the adversarial nature of labor and management. Mostly it's on team reps to do a good job of allaying these concerns.
@drivelinekyle @OGTedBerg I’m pretty sure Motus (pre-sale) tried to do a multi year study with colleges, not sure it ever got published. If I have my years right I believe it was suppose to be three years and the third year might have been covid.
@scott_bush @OGTedBerg Possibly - to me its the league, since it should probably be funded by the ownership group, as they also control the centralized technology platform (Hawkeye primarily). But should be a unified agreement for sure.
@OGTedBerg Now I'll say I think the league could fund actual research around this data as well as pairing with labs to improve the data. Most of the clubs are optimizing the data for their own purposes - obviously. But a central analysis from a workers' health perspective is needed.
@HackAttackimer @OGTedBerg Is there a similar issue with teams not sharing information with each other because they would rather try and maintain a competitive advantage?
@HackAttackimer @OGTedBerg I'm assuming they say this while holding their phone.
@OGTedBerg The issue in trying to get everyone in an org to do something like this with a wearable is that guys will take the tinfoil hat route and refuse to do it because they believe that any data collected by the org can and will be used against them at some point
@OGTedBerg Formerly Motus, currently Driveline Pulse is pretty useful, I’ve used it twice in rehab capacities and it certainly has utility in non-rehab cases
@OGTedBerg PULSE has been pretty good - only MLB-approved wearable in-game at the moment. But only Nick Martinez wears it in MLB. In MiLB about 5-7 orgs are using it to some effect.
@OGTedBerg This is already largely happening with Hawkeye/Kinatrax/Theia3d passively with optical cameras. Don't think MLB needs to pair with a wearable company to do more at the moment. (Talk about anti-selling!)
@meechone I like how it ends with, “This story was reported from Washington, D.C.” They got a top political reporter on this.
Charmed as ever by the libertarian capacity to be extremely and loudly correct on about four issues.
According to Gov. Abbott’s own post, he is violating the First Amendment. A governor can’t lawfully arrest people for protesting or for “hate speech.” If he’s arresting them for other reasons, then he should say so. If he’s arresting them for their speech, then he’s violating the…
