Giving up 48 combined points to Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard is #notgood

imagine making AI bird slop when birdman exists

The average outcome for a qualifier with a 30%+ K rate is actually a better wOBA than league average. Survivorship bias is a huge part of that, but Murakami seems to have plus swing decisions and plus-plus power, and that's how you make it work despite huge swing and miss.

I threw this list of qualifiers over the past 5 seasons with a K rate over 30% before the season when looking into Murakami, and yeah, that's survivorship bias here because a lot of guys with a 30%+ K rate never make it at all. You have to have exceptional skills, but ... Murakami does!

“how are we feeling about the match?”🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Munetaka Murakami’s nine home runs are the most of any Japanese-born player in his first 23 MLB games

He has three more than any other Japanese-born player in first 23 MLB games, ahead of Shohei Ohtani, who had six in his first 23 games as a hitter

Great work to all parties that didn’t go, including the head coach lol

that is the most motionless image ever wow

They need to win by 5-6 so they don’t have to worry abt goal difference the rest of the way, but I have a weird feeling they won’t lol

A lot about the world is very heavy right now but if a college football podcast that got jettisoned by Vox during the pandemic for not having a marketable audience can raise this much money for refugees in Atlanta in two days then just think of all the stuff we can all do together

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

Florian Thauvin is 6th in xG+xA per 90 in Ligue 1 rn

He is just behind Ousmane Dembele in xA per 90

Esteban LePaul is second in xG (and first in goals) in Ligue 1

Leads the division in xGOT

France is stacked but there are two (2) French players I’d like to see in the US bc, as many wise men have said, “if you can do it in Ligue 1, you can do it anywhere.”

Callum Frogson (Brooklyn FC) might be an All-USL Championship name? #USL-C
