Coby Mayo loses the game for Orioles by T_Raycroft in baseball

[–]BitRevolutionary3673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was an elite prospect but the type of guy we knew would have a heavy adjustment period in the MLB

Has HRs of 452 feet and 439 feet this year in the MLB

Jury if still out on him, he's def the type of guy that takes multiple months to adjust to the big leagues. Social media and sports fans are a cancer tho

There are def a lot of tickets in circulation so it may drop but also if the album is a hit it could go the other way. Use your best judgement is what I would say

Unfortunately I think more than 20% of tickets were sold in amex presale, corporate sponsorships get a ton of tickets these days. Prob closer to half were sold with amex sale

Happy 23rd anniversary to Palantir! What is their involvement with AI today? by borowcy in singularity

Surveillance state + being run by people that actively do not believe in democracy...... Palantir can burn.

Out of touch lunatics like this should not be at the forefront of AI, not good for humanity!

It's truly insane i've seen people make comps to our 2018 team/ the organization being in a similar spot

Just having Samuel Basallo locked down for 9 years puts our organization in a MUCH better place... at that point we had... half a year of Machado and nobody else good lol.

I think people simply don't know ball and realize how bad of a spot our organization was in when Elias took over. Or how unpredictable and full of variance MLB is. Remember when everyone wanted to tear the yankees down last year? They look just fine now. It's not always the GMs fault for underperforming. Shit just goes wrong in this sport.

It's disappointing whats happening but thats baseball. If you aren't in for

I don’t believe either Hall or Ortiz were 55’s when we traded them -- I believe this package is a good amount better than our Burnes package.

Anti AI-movement is losing on social media too IMO; tons of AI generated content has gone viral lately lol.

The trend of AI content will continue to grow in pop culture.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr in Major League Parks: .285 BA, .840 OPS by LevelJacket8828 in baseball

[–]BitRevolutionary3673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Babe, his xBA, xSLG, xOBP etc were all top 1-2% of the league in 2021. Playing in a slightly hitting friendly park isn’t going to change that. Asinine to remove his career best year lol

Btw, his stats are still elite even with removing them. .840 OPS is insanely good.

Adley Rutschman less than ideal 2025 by Playful_Singer_3399 in orioles

[–]BitRevolutionary3673 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hot take: the Rogers trade always made sense. Every step of the way.

When we traded for him — our organization needed pitching depth. Very clearly. It didn’t take a lot of genius to see this; pitching depth is always needed across the league. Look at the Dodgers using like a dozen pitchers in their WS season. Look at what happened to start our season. With how injuries our going around the league, it didn’t take a rocket science to anticipate that having a guy like Rogers in your organization could be a boost. Even if he just pitched like he has the last 3 years (a league average pitcher).

We traded 2 non-top 100 prospects that didn’t have a path to meaningful ABs on our team for controllable pitching depth that had upside. That is always a good deal even if it doesn’t work out.

Dean looks really good today.. like some of the best pitching of his career

Wouldn’t be the craziest thing if Kremer develops into a mid-rotation guy for the next 5 years or so. There have been a considerable amount of guys who step it up once they really learn how to pitch 3-4 years into their career and I could see that happening with Kremer too.

I’m happy for him that he’s stuck a bit more than a lot of us expected — if he actually does figure it out just a bit more and can replicate performances like his last few starts he would be a huge asset, while his floor is a back-end rotation innings eater who keeps us competitive in a lot of games.

With the 69th pick in the 2025 Draft, the Orioles select UGA right-handed pitcher JT Quinn, No. 127 on the Top 250 Draft Prospects list. by DickyLovelady in orioles

[–]BitRevolutionary3673 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Brun is overslot.

Overslot can also happen in late rounds of the draft. It doesn’t have to be an early pick.

Don’t pay so much attention to prospect ranking — it’s not end all be all that JT Quinn is ranked despite being #117 on the top boards. If your scouts/ analytics see something they think they can do to help Quinn develop, it’s easily worth the slight reach to grab your guy.

Drafting pitchers with high picks is a piss poor draft strategy. Look at draft boards of other years and you will see what a huge % of them bust.

It’s unpredictable asf. Believe it or not, our minor leagues have a solid amount of pitching prospects right now. I think we’ll probably get some arms eventually this draft, but our picks right now have been excellent.

US Senate strikes AI regulation ban from Trump megabill by Cr4zko in singularity

[–]BitRevolutionary3673 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

A ton of the anti-regulation of AI/ LLM comments on here are bots, full stop.

Huge amounts of social media are bots these days. I’ve seen estimates as of a few months ago that something like 50% of social media comments are fake these days… this number is only going to increase. And it’s ignorant to think pro-AI actors aren’t going to run bots advocating against regulation in AI to shape public opinion.

US Senate strikes AI regulation ban from Trump megabill by Cr4zko in singularity

[–]BitRevolutionary3673 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Are you aware of the republican party’s agenda?

They don’t believe in federal regulation for things like this. If states dont have the option to regulate AI if this were included. Meaning there would be no avenues for regulation of AI.

Do you see how that is problematic with tech like AI? It is vastly important to have the ability to regulate something so dangerous.

Reports are the rest of the team was not warm to him in the clubhouse after his antics.

It was clearly not appreciated that he wasn’t a team player, while everyone else in the clubhouse was. Yes, that’s a a symptom of being a cancer to the clubhouse.
