  1. how do you swing at that lol
  2. Damn, that double play looms large now.
  3. Perfect bunt by Jonah. Don't worry, Tulo will coach that out of him.
  4. so how long do we keep Riojas out there before yanking him? Desperately need to save some arms for tonight.
  5. Ugly AB. Now it's up to Flores...
  6. Fucking hell, is Flores still in the lineup?
  7. No arms left, and we have to win three in a row. This season is over.
  8. UTSA lineup is seeing beach balls tonight
  9. Took just five minutes for this to age as poorly as expected
  10. Staring down the barrel of a repeat Regional exit. This is brutal to watch
  11. Jonah coming up big in Regional play! mUV0Wd5Yp27k9N9h.mp4
  12. Could Jonah have been sent home?
  13. Sankey and the SEC are losing the PR battle in order to win the war. The Big 12 and ACC rejected 4+4+2+2 because they didn't want to codify their worth as half than that of the SEC and Big Ten, so now Sankey is going for the entire pie, trying to expand to 16 with more at-large spots that can be filled by more SEC teams.
  14. The caterwauling for further playoff expansion has reached absurd levels.
  15. Damn nice. Not many out there do enamel dials better than Anordain. How long was the wait for your build slot?
  16. Or like losing to a 6-6 Appalachian State squad that finished 9th in the Sun Belt standings. At home.
  17. If you really want to go deep into the weeds, look at the impact the spread and adoption of gunpowder firearms had on this paradigm. The Ottomans used cannons to conquer Constantinople and enter Europe, the Safavids used musketeers to defeat the Uzbeks, and the Mughals deployed formations of firearm-wielding infantry and artillery to defeat the Afghans and Rajputs and conquer India - all within a single generation.
  18. Turkic peoples like the Kazakhs, Uyghurs, etc. and Mongols are ethnolinguistically different, but they share a ton of cultural heritage and history. Both have a mix of east and west Eurasian features. The Oghuz Turks first migrated westward into Central Asia, bringing their entire herds with them. A Persianized branch known as the Seljuk Turks then continued further west into Persia, defeated the Abbasid Caliphate and conquered Baghdad, then defeated the Byzantines at Manzikert to move into Anatolia. Genghis Khan then began his campaigns of conquest, and his grandson Hulagu Khan later sacked Baghdad. The Mongol empire ruled over primarily Turkic subjects, and subsequent rulers and dynasties identified themselves as Turco-Mongols (including the Timurid Empire, the Kazakh Khanate, and the Mughal Empire). Meanwhile, the non-Mongol Turks who were in Anatolia rose as the Ottomans, cut off from their Central Asian brethren by the Safavid Empire which re-took Persia.
