☆ The job Americans would most like to see replaced by robots

In a survey of jobs Americans would most like to see replaced by robots, the umpire would surely rank near the top. (The MLB league official tells me that legalized gambling has not been a factor in implementing ABS.) Frustratingly, the subjective has infiltrated what initially felt like a technological problem: What does the perfect strike zone even look like anyway? The MLB league official agrees, telling me the Jetson Robot Home Plate Ump is not in their plans. "Growing up, my parents would go, 'Oh, the umpire's strike zone was small!'

☆ Brooks Robinson, Slick-Fielding Hall of Fame Third Baseman, Dies at 86
  + stars: | 2023-09-26 | by ( Richard Goldstein | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Brooks Robinson, the Baltimore Orioles Hall of Famer who was perhaps the finest third baseman in baseball history, has died. His death was announced by the Orioles in a statement that did not include further information. In his 23 seasons with the Orioles, from 1955 to 1977, Robinson became known as the Human Vacuum Cleaner for his ability to snare just about anything hit his way. Robinson played on four pennant-winning teams, two of them World Series champions. (The Orioles also beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in four games in the 1966 Series.)

☆ Astros pitch second no-hitter in World Series history
  + stars: | 2022-11-03 | by ( The Associated Press | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +7 min
Javier and Houston’s bullpen combined on just the second no-hitter in World Series history, silencing a booming lineup and boisterous fans as the Astros blanked the Phillies 5-0 Wednesday night to even the matchup at two games each. The only previous no-hitter in the World Series was a perfect game by Don Larsen of the New York Yankees against the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1956. Astros ace Justin Verlander will again chase that elusive first World Series win when he faces Noah Syndergaard. Up NextAstros: Verlander is 0-6 with a 6.07 ERA in eight World Series starts after failing to hold a five-run lead in the opener. Phillies: RHP Noah Syndergaard had been set to start Game 3 before it was washed out Monday night.
