In time for Opening Day, Siri is way more prepared to field your baseball questions

Happy official Opening Day, baseball fans. If your team didn't play Sunday, get ready for them to kick off the season Monday or Tuesday.

The iPhone's Siri is ready to celebrate alongside you. She can now handle a much bigger range of baseball questions, going well beyond scores, The Verge reports. Users can now ask her for historical statistics, career statistics, and information on 28 non-Major Leagues, including the minors.

But don't expect perfection. The Verge notes she still can't handle seemingly straightforward questions like, "When was the last time the Yankees had a perfect game?" (Answer: July 18, 1999.)
