Who told Apple TV that when you air a baseball game, you put the batter’s name in tiny white print in the lower right hand corner, which is not where ANYBODY will look for it? Is this another thing where Apple is convinced it can make everything look cooler?

The apple TV broadcasts sucks in so many ways, and totally agree the name placement is insane. as an aside did you ever listen to the Effectively Wild episode where they interviewed the CEO of the company doing those probability counts that mostly feel like randomly generated numbers it's wild

Ohhh, I didn’t! (I was on that show once about my baseball book!) It is an extremely bad situation with graphics all around, and I agree that it’s unlikely they have wisely invented a reliable new statistic.
