I should rephrase — I am interested in how that affected counting stats (and by extension, how players were seen at the time)

Really wonder how big this effect was on their divisional opponents in particular

Like, are we unintentionally discrediting some Padres pitchers / rewarding some of their hitters

Imagine the things you could know if you were barred in Maryland (don’t, actually)

Have you considered that the vaccine disrupts their humors and the only way to restore balance is to explode a tendon

I don’t really understand why I need to compare Cole Hamels to Steve Carlton. We should be honoring the best x% of players of a particular generation, and instead we’ve managed to invent a statistical justification for an intergenerational dick measuring contest

A take I’ve been sitting on: using the average member of the hall of fame as the yardstick for admission is doing real damage to how we talk about this stuff. It’s bizarre to me that lots of folks who are usually smart with stats don’t see that they’re setting the criteria, not measuring it

Met a guy at a Halloween party recently who claimed to have been to Kiffin’s apartment because a friend of his was dating Kiffin at the time (FAU era?) — said he had zero social skills and was just the weirdest hang

Not sure I believe it, but I don’t think there are many normal people in that world

I’m pretty sure that the only higher power that Lane’s been praying to is Jimmy Sexton

I guess my question is whether the clubs who don’t get a year one invite are going to a) fight it tooth and nail or b) try to get in on the deal in the form of an immediate buyout and guaranteed long term trickle-down funding

Basically, do they buy that Reaganomics works for sports or not

I’m really curious about whether this sort of structure tanks the future of a club like Charleroi because they’re no longer in the top league or gives them firmer footing because there’s a bigger pile of money to aim for and (one can hope) some of that North Sea Super League revenue flows down

How long until we have someone trying to fund a Northern European super league that tries to consolidate the top clubs from the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden etc into one league with pro-rel back to their respective domestic leagues

There’s a solid chance that you can get a really good deal at microcenter. That place also feels like an alternate reality which is a nice plus

Knowing that the haters have been wrong about him but that the truth is far worse for us has been a terrible burden to bear

Surely he didn’t have a wRC+ home/road splits that were 50 points apart or anything crazy like that

It’s heartening to know that even he’s against a salary cap

If you’d like to be viscerally upset, look at these numbers in MLB! Well more than half are below 50% and there are some in the 20s and 30s

They also run roughly the same (tax-inclusive) payroll to revenue ratio as the Dodgers; they’re second and third at roughly 70%

Please tell me you’ve got the sand story on deck

At this point the only real sell for it is the weather section, which is maybe the best out there, and even that is under threat

As with all things Bobby Petrino, seems like there’s no winning here

sara did you buy a motorcycle

But Asher, it’s an essential part of my diplomatic victory strategy whenever I encounter Sweden in Civ VI

I swear that Bentancur wasn’t always this timid in possession, and the data bears that out — so far, this is his lowest per90 progressive passing distance, and his passes into the final third / penalty area are way down

But the eye test is that he’s refusing to take risks that others are taking

Given that, it is stunning to me that Rivian manages to be at the very bottom of the barrel in Consumer Reports’ new car reliability survey (but first in satisfaction?)

As I understand it, this makes Oregon one of Penn State’s longest-standing and most intense rivals, perhaps behind only Texas Tech?

the album art for the upcoming 10 year anniversary edition of Carly Rae Jepsen's EMOTION with expanded tracks

there's a big problem with the culture here on bluesky, and it's that not nearly enough people are posting about the 10 year anniversary of Carly Rae Jepsen's groundbreaking and timeless album EMOTION being this year and how awesome that is

Feels like these mystery box guys always have just enough fans who are all the way in that you don’t actually have to actively make the choice to pass on them at any point

Clarification: why it *shouldn’t* be reviewable. It’s definitely excluded!

After reading what can be reviewed by replay, I cant come up with a good reason that this type of foul wouldn’t be reviewable. Replay can review the number of players on the field, and if the only difference here is an intent to subvert the officials, that intent should be clear and obvious

This made me look to see how many locations they have near y’all and *wow* there are so many in NC

It’s gotta be 2-3 years tops before they’re in the DC suburbs
