  1. Sure but that is just evidence that loading the tournament with a 16 team subset is even dumber because of the lack of interplay. When a team has proven itself to be in the lower half of that 16 team subset it's silly to put them in a national championship tournament.
  2. Well I'm not doing anything, but I would shrink the baseball postseason too so that takes care of that. Baseball more than any other sport is designed for a long season and way more games to determine the best teams and therefore who should be a champion. Giving the 11th best team in a conference a chance to catch a 3 week hot streak is dumb.
  3. They were behind 6 (and 10) teams in just their conference. Perfectly reasonable to leave them out of any size national championship tournament.
  4. ISR is clearly superior to RPI and 100 better models can be designed (yes I have done so) but you will never get around midweek game weighting and injuries being issues. But I do think a rule about under .500 in conference teams being eliminated from at-large consideration would be awesome. It will obviously never happen because of the megapowerconference hell we live in but I would institute it day one if I ever had that power. If a team has demonstrably proven they're not even better than average in their own conference then why the hell should they be in a tournament to decide a national champion?
  5. Celebrating is fine. Staring down and talking shit directly at the opponent is not fine, although admittedly perhaps there were previous interactions that made it okay. But you can't run around the bases talking shit to everyone including the entire dugout, his ejection was absolutely the right thing to do. One of the umpire crew's responsibilities is to maintain control of the game. If you allow that and then the next batter is plunked, what do you think happens?
  6. Fuck you Dustin you absolute cunt. The fact that everyone associated with the vile Fox News propaganda that has demonized all immigrants is not already burning in hell is absolute proof there is no good and omnipotent God.
  7. I feel attacked in advance.
  8. How is it saving the game to have all the highly attended games on one weekend? Do you understand how attendance works?
  9. Holy shit they won two games. https://www.tcsteersathletics.com/sports/bsb/2024-25/schedule One of them was over something called Jarvis Christian. I'm not sure if that's a school or a single person.
  10. Based on scores I think some surly posters could make the team at Texas College.
  11. The half dozen posts continuing the same line of conversation really show you definitely meant it when you said you felt like a terrible person for asking.
  12. He is a tremendous moron, you shouldn't care that much about any of his posts.
  13. No they don't. Ages of players to play 162 in a season during the the last 5 162 game seasons (2019 instead of 2020 because COVID) 22, 24, 27, 28, 28, 28, 28, 29, 29, 29, 30, 30, 30, 31, 32, 32, 32 So out of something like 3500 player-seasons the last 5 have seen zero guys in their mid-30s play every game.
  14. Nope. He says he wants all undocumented workers deported but then helps the ones he employs evade law enforcement so his business isn't hurt. What Brisket said still applies.
  15. At the same point in the season the 2024 Astros with Bregman and Tucker were 17-25 and 7.5 games out.
  16. Pretty clearly bad management in that scenario. You might consider the possibility that "record share price" and "shareholder value creation" have absolutely nothing to do with the word management when bozo is saying bad union or bad management. Inflating stock price is frequently if not usually unrelated to labor/employee management.
  17. So other countries have stupid leaders too if it took this long.
  18. Egregiously terrible decision by Manfred.
  19. Oh he's had an explanation given to him plenty of times, he just refuses to accept it. People have told him that everything he believes is wrong and that Fox News just lies to him but it would break his brain to acknowledge it.
  20. When it comes to regulating their bad actors, the legal progression has tried nothing and they're all out of ideas.
  21. In the end this is really it. The stable genius does not even understand what money is.
  22. Yep that seems like an easy sell for the competitor. "They bent over instantly to protect their own ass, you don't think they'll sell you out and turn over any dirt they have on you at the drop of a hat? As soon as Trump says he thinks it might be fraud or otherwise criminal they'll overnight every communication with you before he even has to ask for it."
  23. I watched Suits so as an expert I can say they are fucked, the sharks are circling.
  24. Maybe the judiciary is realizing they're on the way to ruling themselves into obsolescence
  25. Anything from a CAD monkey to an actually skilled CAD user who implements and checks for code and spec compliance.
