everyone correctly noting that any time you put Trump in a room with someone charismatic he becomes extremely complimentary until someone reminds him he hates that person, take a bow

hahahahaha I knew it. "I feel very confident that he can do a very good job. I think he's gonna surprise some conservative people, actually. And some very liberal people he won't surprise because they already like him."
Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.
Trump says he’s meeting with “communist” Mamdani at the White House on Friday

This is a remarkable clip.
Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
MAMDANI: I've spoken about--
TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

#WPBL NEWS — I asked the PR director for clarity over the use of past tense, indicating that the draft has already happened ahead of the draft this evening.
"Correct, the players have already been selected for teams," the WPBL PR director told me. "They are not chosen in real time tonight."

#WPBL NEWS — with the league running teams and not individual front offices, the PR director has told me the following:
"There were 12 coaches involved in the process of selecting players to the teams including those who were at the tryouts. This process was led by Alex Hugo with the WPBL."

have this handy, where horizontal lines are the +/-1 standard deviation range for that pitch type. Surprise Factor is indexed to 100, same as Movement Spread & Velocity Spread, so anything above 100 is good and ~120 is truly elite. It does vary some by pitch type. For PtP I think ~65% is average

Mo'ne Davis spent years telling people that she was done playing baseball. She did not want to be forever defined by what she did as a 13-year-old in Little League, a decade ago, and she did not feel like there was space for her to do much else. And then she felt differently. On Davis and the WPBL:
