I do think you can reach out to that if you want to tell that story, yeah. But IIRC it was also a confluence of factors that made that era of offence so extreme and this contributes to his record, good as it is, not standing out so much.

Yeah he put up great numbers but it was also an era of people putting up crazy numbers. The year he hit 344/470/664 he led the league in none of avg (Nomar), OBP (Giambi), or SLG (Manny).

yeh!

There’s probably quite a story to be told about the interaction between what this poster is describing and the gerontocrification of things.

A better conclusion is probably something more like “golly gee wow I guess the profit motive did not actually constrain business actions quite so much.” Gotta say it that way, too

Feels a bit weird to say “they’re not really pro-business” when they’re just putting the actual power of businesses ahead of the balance sheet stuff.

I have passed by this so many times without knowing it's where he grew up. Pretty cool I think.

Italy-Canada in Toronto could be delightful chaos.

I affirm my prediction. They will wait, lose out, and keep doing it.

"can only lose ground with regulation losses" will lead to NHL coaches over-prioritizing not losing (as in, playing for a draw).

NHL coach psychology

I feel like there is an important ingredient you are not accounting for here.

I feel like "can only lose ground with regulation losses" would have a very unproductive interaction with NHL coach psychology.

I dunno if you ever read Fifteen Dogs but there's a part where some of the dogs decide that language itself is an aberration upon the natural order and vow to repudiate it and all that comes from it. This article reminds me of that.

I get the aesthetic dimension, especially with the received idea that context and applicability are Gender. But the probability one is not even that.

I'm used to people getting mad at anything that Smacks of Gender but some of these also just seem, like, very basic straightforward math-as-math. One of these is literally just the math of probabilities.
