Here's the video of Max Scherzer discussing the electronic strike zone and how he'd fix the future of umpiring in baseball. Really interesting response. Kind of dig his approach.
Scherzer on umps: "We need to rank the umpires. Let the electronic strike zone rank the umpires. We need to have a conversation about the bottom — let's call it 10% — whatever you want to declare the bottom is, and talk about religating those umpires to the minor leagues."
Steve Sarkisian deserves more recognition for the job he’s done at

HC Steve Sarkisian says he loves seeing Quinn Ewers have fun playing QB.
Quinn's truly great response to my question on what's allowed him to have more fun is hilariously ironic given I'm Jewish, and it's Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism 🤣

The journalists I know here in Eastern North Carolina work their asses off every single day to keep the communities they cover and care about informed and safe. Shame on the people who decided to pay to put this on a billboard.
Bijan Robinson continues to be a light in the Austin community. Last week, the future NFL RB taught swim lessons at Bartholomew Pool. It's all part of a partnership between Austin Parks and Recreation's Aquatic Division and

Here's what

Rice told me the basketball was the easy part, but the bond that this team built was the hard part. That’s what made this team so special. That’s what makes this loss hurt so much.
