  1. Man, I’d almost forgotten about the bush league Stanford lights
  2. Yeah, even if he tries to come back this season we can’t expect his innings to come in anything but blowouts. He will not meaningfully contribute. Frankly it doesn’t matter because pitching simply isn’t why we suck right now.
  3. 47th in batting average 70th in scoring ((23rd in ERA)) its not terribly different from most DP teams other than our inability to get on base. Hell, we’re like 240th in getting hit by pitch. There’s no scrappiness, no dirtbags
  4. Our on base percentage is 117th… it’s really hard to consistently score runs when guys aren’t on fucking base. Hard to change at this point. Guys either tend to have that inherently or not. We’ve got a lineup of hackers so we’re going to have high batting averages and inconsistent output.
  5. Once again, it’s the offense. Texas is like 160th in D1 in walks earned. Games like tonight and game 1 vs Baylor we just look impatient and unwilling to watch pitches with 2 strikes. First 2 batters of the first 7 innings went 0/14. That’s really something.
  6. Really interesting article in NYT. Apparently Johnson is promising to do his job and get Ukraine aid through once they come back from Easter break. Apparently in January, Biden paused a decision on whether or not to approve a LNG export terminal in Louisiana just south of Johnson’s district. I wonder if that helped Johnson find his moral compass https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/25/us/politics/speaker-mike-johnson-ukraine.html
  7. I hope that ship doesn’t have any ties to Russia or China or shits gonna get real fuckin awkward
  8. I feel like the only way you’re seeing this from Americans is if Fox spewed it. If it’s from interactions online, surely it’s russian bots.
  9. somewhere there’s a strange world. It’s round with rocky terrain, liquid water oceans, a breathable atmosphere, a temperate climate, and even gravity similar to earth’s… since I’ve now discovered the new world, I get naming rights, it’s best continent, and most importantly, credit, fame, wealth, and the associated pussy. You’re welcome Surly.
  10. Bleeding out in a shallow pool of cold mudwater with your comrades sounds pretty rough
  11. https://www.politico.eu/article/josephine-jackson-ukraine-porn-star-yulia-senyuk-raise-fund-war-amputees/
  12. At this point you just have to assume any personal info you’ve got is compromised. Freeze your credit, freeze your kids credits, and pepper your angus
  13. How many modems does a crane need? Apparently the answer is all of them
  14. Got damn, dudes afraid of dollar inflation up in here catching some serious strays
  15. They’re shy 1 elite arm and 2 elite bats. DP is toggling the limited levers he’s got trying to develop depth without losing guys we need to get hot to reach our potential (O’Dowd, Porter, Witt) … speaking of, Witt hasn’t appeared since the 10th? Is he hurt?
  16. This off season Pierce said something like, “I’ve never been so sure about my weekend starters during an off season” (at that point it was LBJ, Hurley, Whitt)
  17. What’s our DH’s OPS this season? .000 might not be far off the standard
  18. Ace looks pretty low effort. This was a must win and an opportunity to put some swagger into that pitching staff. Ace showing the rest of the staff how it’s done
  19. We all fucking hope so but at this point they’re all 1 melt down inning away from a massive demotion. We don’t have anyone with “stuff” good enough to overcome defensive miscues and weak ass run support so they’re all walking right ropes. Ace has been sharp as hell for 2 weeks though
  20. ace is hot as fuck. Hopefully he can give us a quality start next week
  21. After JT’s oppo HR just now, Baylors fat bastard of a coach walked out, took the ball from the pitcher, and with his team around him, open mouth chewed his gum without uttering a word. Catcher looked into what little of his eyes are visible before realizing it wasn’t going to be a useful meeting.
  22. If Ukraine brings Russian oil exports to zero, doesn’t Ukraine win in short order? I don’t expect that regardless. Maybe long term successful Ukrainian attacks being Russian exports down by 50%… so far they’ve reduced refining capacity by what, 10-15%? Intuitively I do think that Russia going to zero brings oil to $120/barrel at current demand levels. Would love if an expert can run the numbers. frankly this feels like the US throwing it out there as cover … stop Ukraine… don’t…
  23. How do we square these sanctions with asking Ukraine not to target Russian refineries? Is our hope that they stop exporting and their economy stops or not?! this half measure bullshit where western countries dont increase production of equipment but we allow Russia’s economy to carry on and transition to war time production is probably not going to end well.
  24. I’m not criticizing individual at bats. Overall we’re just not scoring enough runs right now. Without looking it up, it seems like the last couple years we’ve taken more walks and at times looked dependent on free passes to score. This years team doesn’t seem to take many free passes or score so…
