No more apropos guy to be the final out of a dying empire than a Roman.

The Bolsheviks famously always got along with one another.

It’s also much easier to hit a 55 mph fastball than a 90 mph slider.

So glad I got to see Cory Blaser ring that guy up. Exactly why I tuned in.

Plato’s allegory of the cave.

Paul Skenes characterizing 5 runs of support—from one of the greatest lineups to ever play a meaningful game—as “unbelievable.”

Eh, it’s not enough on its own, but most of the fastest guys in the game are good at both (PCA, Julio, Rafaela, Scott, Buxton, Doyle) and if they’re not it’s usually just because they play SS (Witt, Turner).

I feel like it has to just be some kind of regression like wearables calculating calories solely on your weight and heart rate. Feel like a mobile camera is nowhere near good enough to directly measure spin rate.

I mean, I think it’s fair to complain about a rule change that negatively affects you even if you had foreknowledge of it.

Yes. You need to be a +10 defender to have positive dWAR at 1B.

I do wonder how long it will be until ABS creates a minor controversy with battery mates discretely signaling to each other in an effort to improve their success on challenges.

Not really.

In the case the other team score 2 TDs and you’re treating both the 4th down and 2 pt conversions as coin flips, then choosing the FG is essentially trading losing in regulation out for going to OT.

Odds of getting the first have to be significantly better than stopping the 2 pt conv

I think you’re being a bit too charitable taking those claims at face value. The same people complaining about that also don’t listen to lyrics when they’re in English anyways. They’re just engaging in racism and understanding the lyrics is just the thinly veiled excuse.

Does not change my point whatsoever.

I’d encourage you to reflect on how infrequently the position of “X might be bad, but the people against X are worse” is legitimately justified.

Nah.

Well, I have no choice but to go buy some
truly ugly merch now.

The potential issue with this is that most of their market probably already plays most of their games on steam.

I loved that the sparkly princess with bobbles in her hair is one of the tankiest units in the entire game.

This is an absolutely wild follow up to your past comment. I am confident that my morality is not naive or misguided. If you have a problem with that, then you can frankly fuck off.

I gave you an entire class of example. Not my fault you’re slow on the uptake.

Then you aren’t touching the point I actually made. Have fun talking with yourself I guess.

Incorrect. That is not the argument I made. You are welcome to take another crack at it, but I will not spoon feed you.

You are attempting to argue that revolution occurs without the understanding that the system needs replacing lmao.

Yes, it is. I would recommend you educate yourself on the social conditions that foment revolution to even the barest degree.

Nope.

Literally every revolution that has ever happened.

Looking at actual history, that is how it works.

Idealistically, because the systems and institutions that enabled such an outcome are torn down and rebuilt.

That’s all especially true given 2-pt attempts have been worse than a coin-flip recently, which makes kicking obviously the correct choice.
