Two leading Scattered Spider members, Thaila Jubar and Owen Flowers, were sentenced to five years and six months for the 2024 Transport for London hack that knocked 148 systems offline, forced 27,000 password resets, stole customer data, and cost TfL £29 million, with wider losses estimated far higher; U.S. charges against Dubar remain unproven. Investigators also believe Russian hackers were behind last year's crippling Jaguar Land Rover attack that halted production for months and contributed to a £1.5 billion bailout, with Microsoft and multiple agencies assisting. OpenAI unveiled GPT-Red, an automated red-teaming AI for prompt injection, alongside a NIST-backed argument that finite guardrails can't be universally robust.

7-13 Fan Morning Show 6am Hour: The Pirates swept the Brewers over the weekend. They are the highest scoring team in baseball. The guys thought the Pirates would be eight games back when today started. However, the Pirates completely reversed those expectations. Dorin wishes this had happened after the All Star break or a couple of weeks before. Can the Pirates continue their momentum on Friday against Cleveland? Is it too late for Esmerlyn Valdez to be considered for NL ROY? Paul Skenes also says he wishes the All Star Break started later so they can keep the momentum going. How would you grade the first half of the season? The offense has been great, but the pitching and bullpen have dragged the grade down a lot. The Pirates had one player with a higher OPS last year than the entire team's OPS this year. A caller asks about potentially extending Valdez to a long term contract. Crowley asks who needs to step up in the second half to make the playoffs. Dorin says Ben Cherington. He needs to step up to solidify the bullpen so it is not a weak link anymore. The bullpen seems taxed because the starters have gone on short outings this season. Another caller grades the Pirates at a B right now. The Pirates are in the top three in most offensive categories. Pirates catchers this season have 16 home runs and also rank highly in other offensive categories even though Henry Davis is struggling. Brandon Lowe and Ryan O'Hearn, the two primary bats the Pirates acquired this offseason, account for 25% of the runs the Pirates have scored this season. The Pirates have already hit more home runs this year than they did all of last year. How much credit does Matt Hauge deserve?

Griffin Warner talks betting for Wednesday. Episode 60 of What I Bet lands on a rare open date, the first day without World Cup soccer since June 10, so host Griffin Warner turns the full show over to Major League Baseball, walking through every game on the July 8 card with numbers he builds himself before ever looking at the market. He opens by circling back to a difficult Marlins home game from the night before, a 4-0 deficit that briefly tightened to 5-4 on a wild pitch, tying it to a second straight rough outing from Miami's starter and a stat about teams winning roughly 34 straight games at home when holding a three or four run cushion. From there he moves methodically through the slate, starting with Toronto's Dylan Cease as a modest road favorite over San Francisco's Logan Webb, where a low total and tricky daytime hitting conditions push him toward the under. The Cubs and Orioles get a cautious look with bullpen concerns on both sides, including an Orioles reliever heading to the injured list amid what Warner calls ongoing organizational turbulence since a change in ownership. The night's headline pick arrives with Atlanta's visit to Pittsburgh, where Warner details the Braves' fall from one of the sport's largest division leads, the absence of a key everyday player, and the loss of a closer who had taken over that role after arriving from San Diego, all feeding into a string of bullpen collapses including a near meltdown against the Mets. He leans to Jared Jones and the Pirates at minus 115, a matchup edge he sees clearly favoring Pittsburgh's rotation arm even with a shaky bullpen behind him, and it becomes the show's official best bet of the night. Elsewhere on the card, Gerrit Cole is priced as an unusually large underdog in Tampa against a Rays lineup Warner breaks down using an OPS graphic he shared publicly, showing real depth concerns outside of three hitters even as the team sits atop its division, pushing him toward the under and toward Tampa Bay at home. Houston's price in Washington feels too rich to touch after Houston blew a big lead earlier in the week, so he waits on a number that has room to move. Boston draws his interest as an underdog against Chicago regardless of the standings gap, built on trust in the Red Sox's pitching and defense even with a quiet offense, while he remains unsure what identity the White Sox are working with this season. Cleveland gets a plus money lean in Minnesota on bullpen trust, Milwaukee's strikeout arm draws praise ahead of a road trip to St Louis coming off a doubleheader, and the under looks appealing late with the Angels facing a hot Rangers staff in Arlington. The final pair of games, Colorado in Los Angeles and Arizona in San Diego, both draw under leans on the totals, with Warner citing thin offenses and uncertainty around a couple of bullpens rounding out the card. Before wrapping, he shares a savings note tied to the remaining World Cup schedule as the tournament heads toward its knockout stage, then closes with the official What I Bet best bet of the night, the Pittsburgh Pirates at minus 115 over Atlanta, delivered with a season record of three and two over his last five picks and six and four over his last ten. It is a complete, number driven pass through a full baseball slate, built the same way every night, comparing independent projections to the market before deciding where the value actually sits, then backing it with a single call to close the show.

Proseguono le tensioni tra Stati Uniti e Iran nonostante la tregua e i negoziati sul nucleare. Nelle ultime ore si sono registrati nuovi attacchi reciproci e cresce l'allarme per la sicurezza dello Stretto di Hormuz, dove altre due navi sono state colpite dopo gli episodi dei giorni scorsi. L'Organizzazione marittima internazionale denuncia l'aumento dei rischi per la navigazione e segnala che quasi 6.000 marittimi restano bloccati nel Golfo, mentre aumenta il timore di nuove interruzioni del traffico marittimo.

Una quota che, dopo l'annullamento delle azioni proprie di Commerzbank, corrisponderà al 49,65% dei diritti di voto e consentirà a Piazza Gae Aulenti di esercitare un controllo di fatto sulla governance della banca tedesca.

Nick Gonzales went 3-5 with two RBI, and Endy Rodriguez hit his fifth home run of the season. The Pirates now head to Washington for a three-game weekend series against the Nationals. Mitch Keller, Braxton Ashcraft, and Bubba Chandler are the three projected starters this weekend. Sammy Stafura continued to be hot at the plate, picking up four hits, including a double and a home run, in Greensboro's 23-10 win over Bowling Green on Thursday.Acquired from the Cincinnati Reds in the Ke'Bryan Hayes trade, Stafura has reached base in 21 straight games going back to the start of May. He's also recorded four straight multi-hit games and has homered in four of his last five. Despite a slow start while rehabbing with Bradenton, Stafura has his OPS up over .800 thanks to his recent play.Seth Hernandez made his first start of July, getting roughed up a bit at home against Bowling Green. In 3.2 innings pitched, Hernandez allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out seven. While he walked just one, he missed his spots on some of his pitches, which also led to the home run that eventually chased him from the game.Despite the outing, Hernandez still sports a 2.59 ERA this season, with 107 strikeouts over 66 innings pitched. He also picked off two baserunners, while also nearly notching a third. * RHP Enrique Quintana assigned to DSL Pirates Gold from DSL Pirates BlackTop Exit Velocity* Esmerlyn Valdez - PIT - 112.7 mph - Triple* Jhostynxon Garcia - IND - 110.8 mph - Double* Brandon Lowe - PIT - 109.8 mph - Lineout* Brandon Lowe - PIT - 106.6 mph - Single* Esmerlyn Valdez - PIT - 106.3 mph - Single* Ronny Simon - IND - 106.3 mph - DoubleTop Pitch Velocity* Jared Jones - PIT - 100.3 mph* Jared Jones - PIT - 100.2 mph* Jared Jones - PIT - 100.2 mph* Jared Jones - PIT - 100 mph* Jared Jones - PIT - 100 mphMost Whiffs* Seth Hernandez - GBO - 14* Jared Jones - PIT - 11* Noah Davis - IND - 11* Irwin Ramirez - BRD - 7* Dominic Perachi - ALT - 7* Joshua Loeschorn - ALT - 7* Carlson Reed - GBO - 7Support the site by becoming a paid member and get access to all of our premium content, including our top prospect list with complete player write-ups and video breakdowns, which come out weekly.It will also give access to my player feature articles from on-site trips.We have monthly and yearly plans available, with the latter costing an average of $4.16/month.Indianapolis Indians - 4 vs Omaha Storm Chasers - 2GamedayTop Hitter - Nick Cimillo: 1-3, R, 3 RBI, HRTop Pitcher - Mike Clevinger: 2 IP, KAltoona Curve - 10 vs Portland Sea Dogs - 3GamedayTop Hitter - Duce Gourson: 3-4, 2 R, 4 RBI, BB, HR, 3 SBTop Pitcher - Landon Tomkins: 2.2 IP, H, BB, 2 KGreensboro Grasshoppers - 23 vs Bowling Green Hot Rods - 10GamedayTop Hitter - Sammy Stafura: 4-6, 4 R, 4 RBI, 2B, HRTop Pitcher - Carlson Reed: 2 IP, 2 H, BB, 5 KBradenton Marauders - 6 vs Daytona Tortugas - 11GamedayTop Hitter - Antonio Pimentel: 2-5, R, RBI, 2B, 3BTop Pitcher - Noah Takacs: 0.2 IP, HFCL Pirates - 1 vs FCL Braves - 4GamedayTop Hitter - Darell Morel: 1-2, BB, 2 SBTop Pitcher - Dioris Martinez: 2 IP, 3 KDSL Pirates Black - SuspendedDSL Pirates Gold - 3 vs DSL Brewers - 9GamedayTop Hitter - Limanol Payero: 2-2, R, RBI, HRTop Pitcher - Yoslaniel Hernandez: 3 IP, H, ER, 5 BB, 2 K Get full access to Bucs On Deck at bucsondeck.substack.com/subscribe
The Cardinals are 44-38 and the playoff picture is getting tight. Playoff odds dropped from 55% to 33% in two weeks, the Cubs are surging thanks to Pete Crow-Armstrong's MVP-level June, and seven games against Chicago and Milwaukee are about to define the trade deadline conversation.Rainiel Rodriguez might be the best prospect in baseball. He's 19 years old, crushing Double-A with a 1.023 OPS in June, and hitting opposite-field home runs that look like a lefty pulling them. Plus: the bullpen had its worst month of the season, Burleson is the unluckiest hitter alive, Liberatore bounced back, and John Mozeliak is somehow the Angels' new interim GM.Have a question or comment for the show?

Pirates Insider Jason Mackey joins the show. Jason says that his biggest takeaway from today's game is that Esmerlyn Valdez is for real. Mackey is a fan of Jared Triolo because of his defense, but also mentions that his OPS is above .800 his last 13 games. Jason says that he would be surprised if Skenes is still adamant about pitching to Henry Davis after his recent struggles. He thinks it makes sense to try something new. Jason thinks that Paul Skenes puts too much on his plate and cares too much about being a people pleaser. Mackey thinks that nobody on the internet is seeing anything with Skenes that the Pirates are not seeing.
The Pirates took down the Phillies 6-1 and split the series in Philadelphia. They sit at .500 after 88 games this season. They also now lead baseball in times sitting at .500 this season with 14. Poni thinks the turning point of today's game was the first inning when Jared Jones fell behind Trea Turner, the leadoff guy, 3-0 and ended up striking him out in front of Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper. The Pirates still sit at .500 after they have lost Paul Skenes last 9 starts, which could be a good sign. Pirates Insider Jason Mackey joins the show.

By mid-2025 he was consistently doing $100K+ months — with a project manager, a leadership team, and the freedom to shut his phone off for a week in Florida while the business kept running.In this episode of Painter Growth Stories, Eric walks through:- Why he was skeptical of business coaching for years before joining- The "rip the band-aid off" moment that got him out of project management- How he raised prices 10% across the board (and nothing changed)- The PFF goals system he uses with his painters — and why he told one of them, "you're never going to make $100,000 painting for me, but I want to give you $100,000"- His full succession plan: training a sales/estimator, moving his PM into a Director of Ops role, and stepping out of estimating- Custom home builder work vs. residential — and how he stays profitable on both- Why other 20-year contractors are now coming to him for advice after only 3 years in businessEric will be at the Painter Growth Mastermind in October — bringing his leadership team this time.—Comment PLAYBOOK below and we'll send you the exact systems Eric used to grow Winegardner Fine Finishes.Painter Growth helps painting contractors build profitable, self-running businesses.

The Pirates have played 84 games and now rank third in MLB in runs and RBI, second in OPS and OBP, and fourth in slugging. Jim and DiNardo break down how this offense has become one of the best in baseball and how sustainable these numbers might be. Brandon Lowe has already reached 20 home runs, while rookie Esmerlyn Valdez has made an immediate impact with five homers and a 1.001 OPS through his first 15 games. Is this finally an offense capable of carrying the Pirates? @timelessimagery.mtl Download our app! : https://apps.apple.com/us/app/north-shore-nine/id6771171000 : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.northshorenine.app Use Promo Code NS930 for 30% off your first order at https://www.defer.coffee Use Promo Code NORTHSHORENINE for $20 off your first order at https://www.seatgeek.com LIKE and SUBSCRIBE with NOTIFICATIONS ON if you enjoyed the show!

Mark and Mat record live during the Rays vs. Royals Wednesday night game, the fourth and final game of a tough homestand series that Tampa Bay lost three games to one. The score at wrap-up is 5-3 in favor of the Rays heading into the final out of the ninth.Topics CoveredRays June Struggles The guys break down a rough June for Tampa Bay, noting the team has been burning through its early-season buffer. Mat walks through the slugging numbers for the month, where league average sits at .400. Only four Rays batters are above that mark in June: Ryan Vilade (.581), Junior Caminero (.461), Yandy Diaz (.453), and Cedric Mullins (.407). Jonathan Aranda and several others are well below .300, pointing to a lineup in a collective funk.Player HighlightsChandler Simpson makes a strong catch after an earlier error and bounces back with a single at the plateJohnny DeLuca returns and brings energy back to the outfieldJunior Caminero continues to lead All-Star voting at third base and is discussed as a possible Home Run Derby participantRoster Moves The Rays DFA Dom Keegan to acquire right-handed pitcher Chris Roycroft from the Cardinals. Mat profiles Roycroft as a Kyle Snyder-type project at 6'8", comparing his pitch mix to Manuel Rodriguez and his build and arm angle to former Ray Aaron Slegers. Mat notes the Rays may look to add a changeup to Roycroft's repertoire and suggests Keegan could be traded to a team needing first base depth, with the Mets mentioned as a possible destination.Trade Deadline Talk: Byron Buxton Mat makes the case for the Rays pursuing Twins outfielder Byron Buxton. Key points:Buxton is signed at $15 million per year through 2028He has stayed healthy the last two seasonsA package of Cedric Mullins and Jacob Melton could be the framework of a dealAdding Buxton alongside Caminero, Diaz, and Aranda would give Tampa a genuinely fearsome lineupJacob Melton is currently excelling in AAA and is expected to be called up or used as trade bait in early July.Pitching Depth Discussion of starter innings limits and how the Rays are managing their rotation. The Giants are dangling arms including Robbie Ray, though Mat suspects the Rays will prioritize lineup help over adding a starter. Brian Baker is discussed as a more confident and committed closer Minor League Notes The Bowling Green Hot Rods are 51 and 19. The Rays have 15 hitters with an OPS above .800 and more than 100 at bats across their minor league system this season, with only six of those above Double-A.FIFA World Cup Mark and Mat take a detour to discuss the World Cup taking place across the US. Mat talks about attending games in Vancouver with Canadian military personnel, eating barbecue around the clock. They note that the lower alcohol content in American beer has European and Canadian fans drinking more than usual and draining Boston breweries. All three host nations (US, Mexico, Canada) advance out of the group stage. Mat reflects on never seeing Canadian men's soccer at this level in his lifetime, with the team ranked in the top 30 globally.Women's Baseball Mark reminds listeners that the Women's Pro Baseball League launches in August in Springfield, Illinois - https://www.womensprobaseballleague.com/ Women's Baseball Classic group stage takes place in Rockford, Illinois in approximately one month. - https://www.iwbc.org/worldcup/ Local Recognition The Rays recognize the University of Tampa Spartans for their NCAA Division II baseball three-peat and St. Leo's women's softball team for their Division II championship. Mark also mentions a recent conversation with Genelle Helen Garverick about the history of women's softball in the area dating back to the 1940s & 1950's.Remember to like and subscribe to BaseballBiz On Deck.

Every fund manager wants the story that gets allocators to lean in and say yes every single time they tell it. So, this is often a hard pill to swallow…A story that actually works doesn't always get you a yes. A powerful story either gets you a heck yes or a heck no, but never a maybe. And even though hearing heck no is uncomfortable, getting closure in sales is everything (so you don't waste your time on allocators who'll never be the right fit). That's why in this Story Snack, Stacy's sharing the one kind of story that gets allocators off the fence without fail. She's also breaking down how to own the sharp edges in that story that'll help allocators finally decide: this is for me. Or it isn't.Listen in to learn:Why "maybe" is the outcome you should be trying to avoidHow to connect who you are, why you invest the way you do, and who your strategy is built forWhy your differentiators need to attract and repelA question that'll help you find your sharp edges fastThis is Story Snacks, a bite-sized, jam-packed series for fund managers who are ready to master strategic storytelling in under 20 minutes a week. ---Running a fund is hard enough.Ops shouldn't be.Meet the team that makes it easier. | billiondollarbackstory.com/ultimus
Bryan Reynolds is riding a 12-game hitting streak, owns an OPS over 1.000 in June and has become the hitter the Pittsburgh Pirates need most with Oneil Cruz and Konnor Griffin injured. On today's OffBeat, Alex Stumpf examines Reynolds' legitimate All Star case, his production from both sides of the plate and why the Pirates may go only as far as their best hitter can take them until the lineup gets healthy and the pitching staff receives some help.

Don Kelly believes the Pirates are about to see a different Marcell Ozuna. Alex Stumpf remains far from convinced. Ozuna produced one of his better games of the season Tuesday, but his .598 OPS, continued swing-and-miss issues and lack of explosiveness still raise major concerns. Alex explains why a few productive at-bats do not prove Ozuna has turned a corner, what a legitimate turnaround would look like and why the $12 million signing could be remembered as one of the worst in Pirates history. With Konnor Griffin emerging as Pittsburgh's best right-handed hitter, the Pirates badly need Ozuna to finally provide the power they expected.

Lima runs through a packed sports weekend starting with Wyndham Clark's US Open victory at Shinnecock, where the crowd was openly rooting against him after last year's locker room incident, with Scottie Scheffler actually drawing a bigger ovation walking up 18 than the champion did. Lima is fired up about the US men's national team rolling through World Cup group play and the bracket setting up for a potential deep run, while Ken remains unmoved and would need considerably more than two group stage wins to get off the couch. The guys also flag a brutal development for the Guardians, as Steven Kwan has somehow fallen to the lowest OPS among all qualified hitters in baseball, sitting 38 percent below league average. Ken floats the theory that contract uncertainty may be messing with Kwan's head at the plate, noting that sometimes the deals you don't make end up telling the whole story.

Scott Galloway; music scholar, author and History of Funk radio show host Rickey Vincent; Stockholm-based radio broadcaster, DJ and funk/soul enthusiast promoting the music since the mid-1980s, Maria Granditsky, a.k.a.

In the third hour, Mike Mulligan and David Haugh discussed how the Cubs should handle struggling shortstop Dansby Swanson, who is hitting .175 with a .587 OPS this season. Should they bench him for a few days? For an extended stretch? After that, Chicago Sports Network analyst Ozzie Guillen joined the show to break down the White Sox's ugly 12-2 loss to the Yankees on Tuesday. Later, Blackhawks legend Chris Chelios joined the program to react to the Hurricanes winning the Stanley Cup.
The capital-raising memo says: pitch harder, send the long intro email, and voilà, meetings.Stacy Havener never got that memo.She came into this industry as an English lit major who wanted to be a college professor. Finance was a means to an end, not the whole plan. She had no idea there was a "right" way to do capital raising.So she just led with what she knew best, which was storytelling and creating human connection.

A closer look at Max Muncy's 2026 season, during which he has been arguably the best third baseman in the National League, and in line for a potential third All-Star Game appearance.

Hour 3: The Giants' one-year anniversary of the Rafael Devers trade has arrived, and it's been a season to forget for the team. The Giants are 69-93 since the trade, with Devers hitting .235 with a .762 OPS, 97 points below his career mark in Boston. The team's struggles have left fans and analysts wondering if this is a sign of a bigger issue with the organization's approach to building a winning team. This episode of the podcast delves into the complexities of the Devers trade and its impact on the Giants' season. The team's front office made a bold move to acquire the star player, but it's clear that it hasn't paid off as expected. The Giants' struggles on the field have been matched by their struggles at the box office, with ticket sales ranking in the top ten in Major League Baseball. The conversation also touches on the future of the team, including the potential trade of Luis Arraez and the impact of Bryce Eldridge's emergence as a star player. The Giants' farm system is also discussed, with a lack of pitching prospects making it difficult for the team to compete in the near future. With the trade deadline approaching, the pressure is on the team's front office to make a move that will put them in a position to compete.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Text us your thoughts on the episode or the show!What if the biggest marketing problem in your organization isn't the marketing team at all?In this episode, Michael Hartmann sits down with Charral Izhiman, Head of Marketing at Bayobab and author of The Marketing Movement, for a conversation about why so many organizations still misunderstand what marketing is supposed to do, and what it takes to fix that from both sides.Charral's perspective is refreshingly different. Her book isn't written to teach marketers how to market. It's written to help non-marketing leaders understand how to actually work with marketing. That framing opens up a rich discussion about the gap between strategy and execution, and why Ops professionals may be the best-positioned people in the business to close it. In this conversation, they discuss:The outdated assumptions organizations still hold about marketing, and how marketers unintentionally reinforce themWhy Ops teams sitting at the intersection of marketing, sales, finance, and leadership are uniquely positioned as translators across the businessThe SHAPE framework, and why "Activation" is the overlooked layer between planning and resultsWhy organizations romanticize strategy and celebrate execution but skip operational readiness in the middleThe Formula 1 metaphor for marketing leadership: everything that has to come together before you can even competeWhether you're in Marketing Ops, RevOps, or marketing leadership, this episode is full of ideas for anyone trying to bridge the gap between strategy, operations, and the rest of the business.

Is this the greatest season we've ever seen in baseball history? In this week's This Week in Shohei Ohtani News, we break down another unbelievable stretch from Shohei Ohtani as he continues to dominate both as a pitcher and a hitter at the same time. Ohtani currently leads MLB in both OPS and ERA, a combination that simply shouldn't exist. Through 10 starts on the mound, he's posting one of the lowest ERAs in baseball history while also hitting over .300 with elite production at the plate. We dive into the numbers, the historic comparisons, and why what we're watching right now may be unprecedented even in the long history of Major League Baseball. From 0.74 ERA dominance to elite offensive production, on pace for one of the highest WAR seasons ever recorded, everything about Shohei Ohtani right now is pushing the boundaries of what we thought was possible.

The Giants took two of three from the Cubs over the weekend, but it should have been a sweep. After clobbering seven homeruns in an 18-3 drubbing of the Cubs in game one, they traded extra-inning wins in the 10th. The second game was painful, as PCA hit the game-tying homer with two outs in the ninth. The Giants offense has exploded over the last 30 days, a stretch where they are the best in the majors for batting average, runs per game, doubles, OPS, and slugging, and second in homeruns. Almost comically, their walk rate still ranked at the bottom of the league. So, why did they have a losing month with such prodigious numbers? Well, many runs and hits were concentrated across just three games, and their pitching took a dive, being at or near the bottom in every statistical category.

Tyler Davis joins the podcast to reflect on the winding path that finally led him to the major leagues at 27 years old. Davis revisits his days as a two-way standout at Sam Houston State, where he posted a 1.112 OPS in his senior season, and shares the frustration of going undrafted despite putting up huge offensive numbers. He also looks back on life in independent baseball with the Oakland Ballers and the moment everything changed when the White Sox signed him and gave him another opportunity to keep chasing the dream. Davis also shares stories from his rise through the White Sox system, including winning a championship in Birmingham alongside teammates like Rikuu Nishida and the emotions of learning he was heading to the big leagues. He relives striking out the first batter he faced in MLB, talks about navigating pressure situations with runners on base, and explains what he's learned from tough outings this season. Plus, Davis weighs in on whether he misses hitting, how he thinks he'd fare against MLB pitching as a position player, the teammates who helped him settle in, and what he hopes people remember most about his career years down the road.
