On Apple TV. May or may not get this one in, but the forecast has improved since this morning.

Also, thanks to whoever recommended Ted Lasso to me during last Apple TV game. Just started season 3 and absolutely love it, even though I've never cared for soccer.

I love paying for MLB and having blackouts for Apple TV.  Oh well...I hate to complain.

I love to complain and I hate Apple. Why do they put that stupid probability thing at the bottom? I get how they came up with the figure, but it's never accurate. Does it account for the probability that the pitcher's mind is a million miles away and he throws a hanging slider because he's not focused? No, because you can't measure that, and the hitter doesn't have a 24% chance of getting a hit in that specific instance, he has an incalculable chance. common sense might help, you might assume what could happen when the count is 0-2 or 3-0 or whatever. why do they have to put an exact figure on things that you can't actually quantify? dumb. appeals to a certain type of baseball fan though, the pseudo-mathematician.

You and numbers don't really get along.

I always thought the win probability thing was dumb. Like, thanks for telling me during an 8-0 game with 2 outs in the 9th that the win probability is almost 100%. I could have never guessed. 

Hey, some dudes like porn. Others like equations.

I like when people attempt to turn quality into quantity, it's a worthy feat. Helps us to understand the world around us. It's usually wrong or misleading though, I don't get along with numbers that mislead and masquerade as objective. 

Also I think it's a funny bit that I'll run into the ground.

What in their algorithm do you disagree with specifically?

What it’s like when every single hitter seems like an automatic out.
