For 2 years I think we've heard some version of "the Phillies valued Bohm much higher than the rest of the league." I think we're seeing that the rest of the league was right, and it makes me worry about how they evaluate talent.
I read him saying, "I am an extraordinarily brilliant person" and all I can hear is Denis O'Hare saying, "I am a terrifying and imposing figure!"
I really really like Rob, and today's the first time I'm going, "OK I think you have to think about it."
Gave it a while but the eye test, numbers, and roster depth now all say the same thing: Uh oh
Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
Combo of 3 and 5.
She's the second reporter for The Athletic, paired with Gelb. She's good.
As someone who teaches reading and writing to college students, I see the wide disparity between students who were challenged with reading in high school and those who weren't.
haha
Yes of course but also I never got a ball as a kid and I still realllllly want one but no I'd give it to a kid.
As I watch the timeline talk about the Sixers “coaching” I start to understand why people think firing the baseball coaches will fix things. It is translating all other sports to baseball, but not getting the job difference.

You know how in Bull Durham they fix the vibes by creating a rainout, thus letting the team bond?
That for the Phillies, except instead of creating a rainout they just all go and throw rotten fruit at Alec Bohm's parents.
Well we can turn this off now I reckon.
You need to make yourself a publicly traded company first, then pivot.
Um....I dunno....did you see that last play?
Just remembered that I had a dream last night where I was seeing a heavily reworked Les Mis, in which Valjean, Javert, and Fantine were part of a throuple.
Sending you good vibes.
The only way I got out of that was literally quitting my tenured position, leaving faculty life for a year, and then very accidentally falling into another faculty job, this time in a clinical line that is only concerned with my teaching.
I got lucky.
I’m pivoting from live theater to AI, but only for a brief enough time to raise like 5000000 dollars, and then I’ll go back to theater.
Nothing says "America is Back Baby!" like "Allbirds became an AI hardware middleman because they wanted to pump their stock instead of going into bankruptcy, so they said they will find some computer chips somewhere, but can no longer sell shoes."
RIP Clavicular, killed by a dashing smirk
How many avocados worth of guacamole is too much for a single snack attack?
Our new album is out today! A sincere request to help spread the word!
We have a higher standard for sports reporters than we do for political reporters.
Overhead at the coffee shop: "I don't think the math department is ready for that."
I was just thinking the same, Paul.
The experience of being a Phillies fan is having a ten-run lead in the eighth and knowing you have no reason not to be nervous.
I'm still kinda excited about how he looks. It's just how he pitches that concerns me.
