The AI Team (continued): 

Strat (Stratagem): Neon.AI analyzes the Blue Jays’ recent games, identifying a tendency towards a power-hitting offense with high strikeout numbers. Strat, seamlessly interacting with the coaching staff through a secure platform, suggests a counter-strategy focusing on a strong pitching performance with a heavy reliance on breaking balls. The coach, impressed with the data-driven approach, implements the plan. 

Oracle (The Oracle): Dives into historical data on the Blue Jays’ star slugger, revealing a weakness against left-handed pitching with deceptive changeups. This intel is relayed to the coaching staff in real-time through a secure AI interface. 

Ridicule (Social Media Monitor): Scans social media for negative comments about the Cardinals, particularly regarding the starting pitcher. Ridicule then generates witty, lighthearted responses that boost team spirit and deflect negativity.
