"Ottavino said on his YouTube livestream 'Baseball & Coffee' that the Mets had been using AI and cited spending by team owner Steve Cohen on the software."

"The Mets did not comment when asked whether they had a response."

So this happened at last night's Mariners game and the shortstop really let the Umpire have it.

The pitcher let him have it. The pitcher who likes to wear a giant cross when playing. Not saying he's Landen Roupp or Aubrey Huff, but it's still funny.

Another blunder on the basepaths. This one ends the game.
