MLB testing outfield positioning rules in minors as quest for more offense continues

SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Minnesota Twins prospect Kyle DeBarge walks a few steps to a worn-out patch of grass while playing center field during a recent Arizona Fall League game at Salt River Fields, glancing up at a small video board that lets him know if he's in the right spot. A few steps to his left, right, front, or back and a big red "X" appears on the video board above home plate. That's not good. If he stays on that little island of dirt in a sea of grass, a big ‘O’ appears and the video board is green. Much better. Welcome to Major League Baseball's newest experiment in its long-running quest to juice the game's sluggish offense: Restricting the positioning of outfielders on every at-bat. The idea is that making outfielders play straight up — instead of adjusting for individual hitters' tendencies — will lead to more doubles and triples. “The hardest part is cutting off doubles in the…

Tank Man Revealed for Mega Man: Dual Override

The use of slopes here is novel and their movement is charmingly silly. Another fun design, although I think it's a step down from the previous two reveals. I wonder if he is inspired by Boss Borot. The stage looks like some sort…

Walden Pond leads ranking of Massachusetts sanctuaries

Walden Pond, the historic Concord landscape closely associated with Henry David Thoreau, was named Massachusetts residents' top natural "spiritual home" in a survey exploring the places people turn to for reflection, comfort and emotional well-being. The ranking was released by A Mission for Michael, according to a community announcement. The organization commissioned a survey of 3,001 respondents that asked residents to identify the natural place in their state where they feel most at peace, grounded and connected to something larger than themselves. For many Massachusetts residents, Walden Pond's appeal appears to extend beyond its famous literary history. The survey described the site as a place where visitors can walk, sit by the water or spend quiet time away from daily routines in a setting long associated with reflection. The top five locations identified by respondents were…

Federal regulators launch deeper review of Amtrak’s $900M Bridgeport project

The Federal Railroad Administration announced that they will be investigating Amtrak's proposed $900 million redevelopment play in Bridgeport that could send the White Sox packing. The FRA committed to a formal environmental assessment of the rail operator's plans and are set to complete the study by the end of the year, according to Crain's. The controversy has come from what appears to be a trade for the Bridgeport neighborhood: the White Sox for a maintenance facility. For Bridgeport residents, the federal exemption and Ishbia's option to purchase the team in the near future made it feel inevitable. Amtrak and Ishbia's venture set up for The Railyards, Canal Edge, put out a joint statement on the updated investigation, saying that they think a larger environmental appraisal of the site is an appropriate next step. The pair also state they are welcoming of the opportunity for…
