The As are "professional" but they're so mismanaged that they're playing in a minor league stadium in Sacramento.

I guess it is fitting that the, uh, less good organizations will reach for AI to save them.

It will be interesting to see what data they use. If AI tells you to do something crazy, do you do it? Do you tell AI "yeah but he said his arm is sore after yesterday" and see what the AI thinks?

If it's just basic baseball stats the other team will know your moves, granted in baseball that's less of an advantage but it still could be a problem.
