  1. It's mind-boggling to me every time I see someone throw him an off speed pitch this season.
  2. "That football guy works at a public university they can't fire him he can say whatever he wants!" One week earlier in another conversation... "Tenure is terrible it lets professors say whatever they want and they can't be fired!"
  3. I like how Big Brain Law here just put in writing on an official correspondence to the United States Attorney General that the Biden family is being treated fairly. Not unfairly favored, they're being treated fairly.
  4. The Crawford Boxes help out lefties more than righties. No I don't have data but it makes sense.
  5. City 4 Real Madrid 0 Acceptable performance, all things considered. Some important matches coming up.
  6. So you're saying the Astros scored 6 runs in 2 innings after you left. Guess who's now required to go to the top of the first inning and only the top of the first inning for every remaining home game?
  7. 90 win pace for the season, 100 win pace since starting 3-6. With this group of underperformers and injury replacements. As bad as things have been they have been as good as they could have been. Or something like that.
  8. It's absolutely not a given. It's just battered fan syndrome. Competent squad building can take down City, it's already happened once.
  9. I mean there's probably a market for "on this day" push notifications. Surprised they haven't figured out how to monetize that.
  10. Did I see that stat right during the game that the Astros have finished with a winning record on 15 of their last 16 road trips? That's insane.
  11. That was a TV tech only, not available to VAR. But that's irrelevant anyway, anyone who watched the buildup to the goal knows that Madrid fully possessed and gave away the ball between that moment and the goal. So it wouldn't be part of any review anyway.
  12. Real Madrid 1 City 1 Decent away first leg I suppose. A couple of beautiful strikes from each squad.
  13. If any of these lunatics actually had that goal they would walk into right wing evangelical churches and open fire, not at schools and malls.
  14. He was overmatched by a 92mph then 91 mph fastball and barely got around quickly enough on an 85 mph slider out over the plate to sneak it inside the right field line. I mean fuck yeah we'll take it but holy crap.
  15. Hey if they can stomach age limits then just make it 120 years of age.
  16. So much this. He is being overpowered by 93mph fastballs. Consistently. As much as anyone I'm aware of the danger of small sample size reactions but what you see matters and he is done. I will be thoroughly shocked if he even hits his 2022 numbers starting today through the end of the season.
  17. He is much much closer to terrible than great. He got deified by a segment of our fanbase for no good reason and that sentiment lingers. JAG is probably reasonable on the field but when you add in the drama and other BS he is a liability for any program that actually wants to compete.
  18. Sure from our perspective. But on a crowded subway when the large deranged man is cornering the girls it's not as easy. And pointing out his derangement doesn't help your point, it actually hurts it. Reasoning with someone who is insane is almost by definition far less likely to succeed. A choke hold that (likely accidentally) results in someone's death in that situation could very easily be the most reasonable course of action to protect the health and possibly lives of the girls he was targeting. By no means should anyone enjoy doing it, watching it, or that it happened. But your position is very easy to hold when far removed in both distance and time. And, for the record, that death wouldn't be murder. Or at least that's the entire argument. That would require the death to be intentional and without legal justification. A choke hold in defense of others meets neither standard in this situation, imo.
  19. He was threatening to rape a group of girls. I don't think that line you think you're on the right side of is as bright as you think. State-sanctioned death penalty? Absolutely most would agree that's unreasonable. "That man needed killing and my client was the right person to do it" defense in front of a jury? Not as clear cut.
  20. City 3 West Ham 0 Big match against Leeds on Saturday.
  21. 89 win pace. Since they were 3-6 they've played at a 105 win pace through some tough teams in that stretch.
  22. Now that it's answered I looked him up. 620 career, but only 478 after 1989.
  23. Otis Nixon? Just not sure if 500 were after 1989 for him
