So then Shota is probably not seeing any innings tonight, right?

If he doesn’t challenge an obvious non-fumble and has Santos kick it out of bounds rather than failing to kick it out of the end zone, they might have won game 1 tho, no?

Definitely. But also sometimes dudes just hit everything thrown to them. And then they just stop. So weird. Confidence is a part of it. Shooting in basketball has some of that to it, too.

Baseball has the added wrinkle of slumping vs in a groove. Hitting specifically. It’s wild how hot a hitter can get for a couple weeks then fall back to earth. Those peaks and valleys aren’t as common in other sports.

Thanks for looking into that!

Would you know on how many of those 3-0 counts he walked on 4 pitches?

Multiple relatives from the Midwest saying the same thing last week. Totally surprised by his fixation on retribution and tariffs! Not sure what to tell folks who ignored everything he said and did for 8 years and now want out of the deal.

Exactly. Enough great people in those fields have migrated over and have made BlueSky the essential news/info repository Twitter used to be. (Thank goodness for them!)

Hard to say which of his books seem most relevant but, as an American, Doctor Faustus might best suit the times.

Another wrinkle is that most major sports and sport media are center/center left, and that hasn’t netted Dems the kind of influence on 18-25 sport fans that you’d think.

The bulls are going to be bad regardless and he’s so fun to watch and can be a great model for young players - this is cool.

His was not a presidency well-equipped for the media environment of his time. But speaking only on policy vision and outcomes, his admin was as successful and clear sighted as any since FDR. Quite a tension. And some of that is purely about age and how much older he seemed to get in 4 years.

Ricketts is sleeping in one of those this Christmas. Just like Clark. Shirt no pants. Backwards hat.

Wild they wouldn’t wait out the season to see how he looks come the summer. It will be very Bulls when Lonzo returns to being the player they pined for and gave up so much for…on another team. Jimmy 2.0

Sounds like there’s one obvious PG to re-sign, and another whose game requires all kinds of cover up.
