    Has Anyone Ever Used ProtonMail?

    I’m trying to take seriously internet security and privacy more lately to keep up with best practices and remove that worry and hassle from my life, which means de-Googleizing my life a bit. When researching more secure email platforms, ProtonMail came across as the best, but I’m wondering if...

    Inside the Pylon: The Podcast

    This morning ITP launched a podcast, hosted by our very own Chuck Zodda and Mark Schofield. We plan to have it up on iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn, etc shortly, but for now, you can listen on the site or on SoundCloud ("Inside the Pylon: The Podcast"). I may be biased, but it is a great listen.

    Jackie Bradley, Jr. - Help

    The title was originally "Jackie Bradley Jr: Trouble with the Curve" but I couldn't quote a terrible move so...   Using the same Tim Britton piece as I did to start the Bogaerts thread, I noticed the team had a worse observation on Bradley so far.  While Bogaerts was merely cheating on outside...

    Starting on Friday night my iPhone has been having a ton of issues.  The first is that when I plug it in to charge the percent meter doesn't move.  I have to turn off and on the phone for the meter to update.  Starting on Saturday the percent meter doesn't move at all, plugged or unplugged.  I...

    The 2014 Red Sox and Situational Hitting

    To the eye, the 2014 Red Sox seem bad at situational hitting.  In the Second Guessers thread for the Texas series, Kiekeredinthehead mentioned that the Sox failed at 2 more hit and runs.  From a purely observational stand point, it seems like this year's team is bad at executing plays like hit...

    Koji 2014: Great or Historically Great (Again)?

    In case you need reminding of what Koji did last year: from June until September Koji appeared in 53 games, pitching 53.1 innings, allowing only 17 hits, 5 runs (only 4 earned - 0.68 ERA), and 5 walks, while striking out 72 batters.  During that time period, batters posted a .097/.126/.154 line...

    2014 Pittsburgh Pirates: Walker-ring Off the Plank

    After last year's breakout season, the big question surrounding Huntington's Pirates was whether they could repeat their 2013 season.
