.@Phillies crushed by MIA, 12-4. Phils scored 4 in 1st 2 innings vs Alcantara, but Painter gave up 6 in 2. Banks gave up 4 more T6 to put game out of reach.

Painter’s FB = BP, and many FBs are middle-middle.

Mayza, Bowlan, Lazar, Stubbs were effective.

Exclusive: I have seen OpenAI's audited financials for 2024 and 2025.

In 2025, OpenAI had $13.07 billion in revenue and $34 billion in costs. $867 million of its revenue came from SoftBank, and $303 million came from Microsoft.

Three-Quarter Moonalice! Streaming live NOW from Dead On The Creek Festival! On the band's website, Facebook and YouTube!

[Roger McNamee @Moonalice]

.@Phillies lose to MIL, 4-0. Sanchez gave up more runs (4) today than in every game since April. HRs by Chourio and Perkins (3R) did the damage.

Phillies’ offense took the day off (again). 4 singles spread out. No RISP.

Brewers are a better team.

Season: 38-33 8GB

[Roger McNamee @Moonalice]

This weekend’s performance at Dead On The Creek Festival will break new ground. Barry, Rachel, and Roger are not able to play, so Grahame Lesh, Stu Allen & Jay Lane will be joining us.

For this show, we will call ourselves Three-Quarter Moon.

Amazing poster: @afishcalledalex

[Roger McNamee @Moonalice]

.@Phillies edge MIL, 9-8. 15th 1-run win (most in MLB). Nola could not hold a 3-0 lead, but bad guys were Alvarado (2R), Keller (3R), who made a blowout close. Duran Sv18.

Bottom of order rocked: Marsh, Sosa, JT w/ 3H. Sosa solo, JT 3R HR. Stott 2 RBI 2Bs.

Season: 38-32 8GB

The 3 fastest strikeout pitches by ANY starting pitcher in ANY game since 2008 (when pitch tracking began):

1. Jacob Misiorowski vs. Schwarber: 104.5 mph
2. Jacob Misiorowski vs. Harper: 104.1 mph
3. Jacob Misiorowski vs. Turner: 103.5 mph

All in the 1st inning tonight.

[JJ Cooper @jjcoop36]

Most dominant pitching performance I've ever seen.

If you have seen better, please tell me when and where.

One Schwarber single away from a perfect game.

4 104+ pitches
11 103+
25 102+
37 101+
50 100+

No 3-ball count all night

Five 2-ball counts

[Jayson Stark @jaysonst]

Fastballs at 101 mph or harder:

Jacob Misiorowski:
36 tonight

The entire Phillies staff:
25 all season

[Roger McNamee @Moonalice]

.@Phillies lose to MIL, 6-0. Misiorowski threw a 1H 0BB 15K Maddux. 95 pitches. The Phils’ hitters are near bottom of MLB, but this was Miz’s best game by far. One base runner, erased by a DP. 103 last pitch.

Garcia on 60-day (torn lat). Ugh. Rincones up.

Breaking News!

[Roger McNamee @Moonalice]

If you are curious about how a price war between OpenAI and Anthropic will end, study the history of Sirius and XM Radio before & post merger. In capital intensive businesses, like satellite radio and LLMs, financial viability often comes only after 1 or more financial failures.

[Thierry from arvy 🇨🇭 @ThierryBorgeat]

This is it.

OpenAI is now considering drastic price cuts to win users from Anthropic, who will likely cut right back. Two companies losing billions, about to compete each other's margins to zero.

Buffett's worst kind of business: one that grows rapidly, devours capital, and earns nothing. He meant airlines. The most important industry of its age, where the customer wins and the shareholder bleeds.

Revolutionary technology and a good investment have never been the same thing.

The internet was real too. Most of the companies building it still went to zero.
