I wonder how much of our bullpen woes are just that they're gassed. Probably not much (can't say I had high hopes for de los Santos or whatever), but it certainly wouldn't hurt to reduce their workload
crazy that he might just end up as our SP2 with his whiffability
the outfielders heard about the woes of our pitching and took it as a challenge
linear function graphed
Rectified Linear Unit graph which is the same... except it's 0 when negative.
bad derivative vs. somehow better derivative?
I'm receiving word
I kinda agree, I just think the implementation should be targeted. Like if the city wants to run a cute cafe or art store, love it. but driving property taxes down citywide and crowding new small businesses out? probably bad. but i'm no economist
Meh. Like the broader rent control question, I think this is an inefficient land-use thing. @dieworkwear.bsky.social had a great thread some time ago about how Japan is able to foster really vibrant subcultures and novelty shops because stores can legally have a tiny footprint along busy corridors.
gonna grade 1 shoot myself in the balls
ME: I need to insert a footnote
MICROSOFT WORD: *spitting blood* fuck you, fuck your mother and fuck your footnote
I can walk 5 batters in a row as well as any of em. Team's just gotta give me a chance 💪😤
Scouts describe my fastball as "basically a meatball, if it were anywhere close to the plate" and my changeup as "worse than the average little league pitch".
Hey folks! I just got the call that the #Astros will be selecting my contract to start Tuesday night! Super excited for this opportunity, and I'm beyond thankful for my friends and family who never stopped believing in me.
If you are in line to pitch for the Astros, GET OUT OF THE LINE YOUR LIFE IS IN DANGER
Notice how he doesn't restrict himself from skydiving because to do so would seem unmanly and cowardly (everything is gender)
Live and drink, phone.
What do I do with all this hate that I feel?
His fastball's just not that good right now, folks. Velo is a bit low and damn he cannot locate it up
Javier machine broke
never gonna get tired of this
oh my god there's baseball again today. this rips, man
On some level I really sympathize with the sentiment of Whitey on the Moon, I'll be damned if I don't believe in my heart that this isn't core to our mission. We will explore the infinite over and over again, and we'll do it (mostly) collaboratively because we're humans goddammit.
Also Nixon in 1970 is just Nixon, but Nixon in 2025 is going on Tucker Carlson to blame Jews for race riots. Like, boyo was a Pat Buchanan supporter
Ahh, fair!
It's gonna be a little funny that the ABS system is going to end up depressing offense (ever so slightly) because of the advantage a catcher has in seeing the pitch
say goodbye to your inner tubes, fascists. we're flooding the Frio
advantages of a beard
are the astros in baseball hell? no. this is baseball purgatory. this is baseball andy kaufman routine. baseball waiting for godot
