Flesh by David Szalay is a very smart and stylish novel about the 1%, filtered through the life of a Hungarian bodyguard/driver in their midst. Cécé by Emmelie Prophète (out 23 September) vividly depicts the slums of contemporary Haiti via a very online young sex worker who lives her best life on Facebook.

    Below are two changeups. Can you tell which one is better? First up is Griffin Jax’s power changeup. He throws it over 92 mph; at two inches of induced vertical break (IVB) and 15 inches of arm-side run, it almost resembles a filthy left-handed slider:Second is Hunter Gaddis straight change, floating up to the plate with 10 inches of IVB at an average velocity of 78 mph:So, which one would you take?

interesting probabilities exercise... oddsmakers have pirates at ~28% chance of win in game 1 and ~57% chance of win in game 2 would moving skenes to g1 change their expected wins? seems like it'd be a marginal difference if any https://t.co/erdr5maDsh

I follow that we ALL would want to see Skubal vs. Skenes. But if I'm the Pirates, and I want to win a game today, I 100% see the logic of starting Skenes in the other game. You're trading a likely L in G1 for a better chance at a W in G2.
