MLB Commisioner

The new MLB commissioner. There’s no way I can be worse than the current guy.

America already made daylight saving time permanent once. In December 1973, 79% of Americans supported it and Nixon signed it into law. By February 1974, eight weeks into the experiment, support had collapsed to 42%. The policy never changed. Winter arrived.

Sunrise in Washington DC came at 8:27am. Kids left for school in total darkness, carrying flashlights and wearing reflective tape. When Congress moved to repeal, members cited the deaths of eight Florida schoolchildren in the first weeks of the change.

The energy case collapsed too. The whole point was the oil embargo, and the Department of Transportation concluded the fuel savings were too small to matter. Ten months after signing it, Congress repealed it and Ford put the country back on standard time.

There's a mechanism that makes this cycle repeat: permanent DST is only ever voted on when the sun is up. Polls run in the abstract, votes happen in warm months, and the benefit, a free hour of evening light, is easy to imagine year-round. The cost is concentrated in about 10 weeks of dark winter mornings and only becomes real after implementation. So the policy polls beautifully right up until January.

Today's vote happened in July. The 1974 law passed in December, right before the exact winter that killed it. If this clears the Senate, the first real test arrives in January 2027, when sunrise in Indianapolis comes after 9am.

Sleep researchers have watched this loop for 50 years, which is why the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the AMA, and the National Sleep Foundation all back the opposite reform, permanent standard time. Congress just picked the one version of clock reform America has already tried, hated, and repealed.

Something super cool is coming to Baseball Savant very soon. Big shoutout to @dohyoungpark for turning the vision into a reality!

As a preview, tonight's MLB All-Star Game Starting Lineups:

[Front Office Sports @FOS]

Jordan Walker earned $1 million for winning the 2026 MLB Home Run Derby.

The Cardinals outfielder’s 2026 salary is $799,400—meaning his Derby prize exceeded his entire season salary.

[Paul Anleitner @PaulAnleitner]

The Sandlot has the single greatest vision of American life ever put on film.

Chase Harlan made a massive jump into my Top-50 overall this month.

Season: 285 PA, .329/.433/.586, 19 2B, 12 HR, 13.7% BB, 18.9% K

Huge raw power with a good approach and a serviceable contact rate.

With Chase Harlan being promoted to A+, it's a great time to highlight how ridiculous his power upside is. He has exceeded 115 MPH 3 times already this year with an EV90 of 109.4 MPH.

He's doing that with a strikeout rate of just 19% and he is still 19 Y/O. Here's a HR at 115.

[DodgersLite @dodgerslite]

Chase Harlan had two hits this afternoon, including this double for his 15th of the season.

This drove home two runs and showcased his power.

FINAL: #ONT 7-9 STK

Chase Harlan is on his own planet; Landyn Vidourek finally found barrel; Joendry Vargas had himself a three-hit game. Mason Estrada was perfect through 3.1 innings, but fell short of a gem.

RHP Matt McShane (GG #18) in relief with High-A Greenville yesterday:

2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 BB, 0 ER, 4 K
• 7 whiffs (39%)

I remain a major believer in the profile. The 23yo has paired 17.2% SwStr / 33.3% CSW rates with a monster 25% K-BB rate through 12 IP this season.

[Guardians Prospective @CleGuardPro]

Cleveland #Guardians 22yr old RHP prospect Will McCausland struckout eight Fredericksburg batters tonight allowing two runs over five innings of work for Hill City.

Line - 5.0(IP) 3H 2R 2ER 1BB 8SO

(73 Pitches 51 Strikes)

RHP Matt McShane (GG #18) in relief with High-A Greenville yesterday:

1 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 ER, 2 K
• 4 whiffs (57%)
• 77% strikes

The St. Joseph's product turned in an elite 1.95 FIP and 25.4% K-BB rate last season. FF/SL combo is lethal. Really love the profile.

[Peoria Chiefs @peoriachiefs]

Rainiel Rodriguez hits his seventh double of the season in the first inning!

PEO 0 | CR 0

[Aram Leighton @AramLeighton8]

Chase Harlan (Dodgers) looks noticeably stronger this year. Max EV of 111 last year, already has a 113 and 114 this year. This pitch looks like it gets deep on him and Harlan just muscles it out to right-center.

🚨 Anthropic's CEO: "software engineering will be fully automated in 12 months."

two types of people right now:

type 1: uses Claude Code with basic prompts. scared about the future.

type 2: knows all 35 commands, tricks, and workflows. ships faster than a team of 5.

type 1 gets replaced in 12 months.
type 2 does the replacing.

I wrote a full guide on how to start. zero experience needed.
