Does the AB "stats" against a specific pitch bother other people as much as it bothers me?

Yes. The world series is not the super bowl. Stop trying to make it that way.

Cute that MLB gave the Blue Jays a win to increase ad revenue for the series, but not sure they'll be given another one.

Badgers must be off today, this place is less full of despair than a typical Saturday.

Still gonna laugh. Goliath v. Super Goliath maybe.

Getting handed over to a juggernaut for basically nothing will help get you rings, that's for sure.

This was when I first decided to never trust the front office and ownership, and to always assume they'll do whatever's in their personal financial interest. I was 9.

The "2026 outlook" episode of Micro Brew tried to be upbeat but it was very grim and sad. Good, but bleak.

Why is this surprising? He's the senate majority leader and the chief justice of the supreme Court too. 🫩

It's a good day to break out the winter coffee.

If "bro" is the first word of your advertisement, it doesn't matter how useful or valuable your product is. I'm out. You could be offering me a million dollars for a five minute investment, I am absolutely out. Bro.

This is called "filler". You missed filler.

And yet no one is actually doing anything about it. It's quite fascinating to see almost universal complicity.

🎯 🎯 Road team should be required to wear dark jerseys. Grey is not dark. Maybe the dodgers should forfeit.

Well that graphic made me sad.

The slightly smaller death star still looks grindery against the super death star. Or smoltz is a hack who doesn't know how to not mail it in. Maybe both.

Once again imploring to stop talking to managers during the game. Or at all, really.

Let's pay thousands of dollars to stand in a box for 4 hours! 🙄

He's only good in games he's not actually getting paid for.

Lol yeah it's a superteam we know.

The bottom of the dodgers order would be the middle of the order for at least two other playoff teams, probably more.

Man Applebee's doesn't even bother to TRY to look good.

The playoffs shouldn't matter.

If the Brewers ever make a world series, I'm going to have to pay a ton of money for first row seats. #sitdown

Screw it, go Dodgers. Maim them. Embarrass them. Make it awkward to watch.

I'm accidentally at a religious coffeeshop. This is why I don't go new places.

In which "happy to get Billy McKinney in" is said for the first time in human history.

Given this scenario already assumes Kershaw has pitched in the WS, it depends on how many pitches he threw and which game it was in.

Dodgers lapping the league because of the money they save by using Microsoft Word SmartArt.

Also there are no normies.

Well this sounds miserable.

How many innings can Blake Treinen pitch with a double digit lead?

You can't put a five syllable word in an article on 2025.

Ah so the things were rolling back.

Yes. They are using this nonsense (and the media) to sway public opinion against the players. 30/30 owners want a salary cap. This is known. Don't be pro-owner.

Lol amazing.

ICE is dumb and the worst, of course. But also, all tests should be open book.

An AI model that intelligently blocks basketball content.

Finally on the ground in Milwaukee. Oh wait jk we've been sitting on the tarmac for 45 minutes.

Basketball is back already? Jeez take a break guys.

Yes, I gave O'Hare and United another chance. It's been 14 years. It wasn't long enough.

Typical O'Hare connection - we've got 80 minutes, it's a ten minute walk, plenty of time for dinner We taxied for an HOUR, so there's no time to eat. Get to the gate 5 minutes before boarding. The next flight gets delayed by 20 minutes, but we're so far away there's no reasonable food options.

55 minutes from landing to the gate. Someone needs to pull up the taxi route map for this flight. UA 8687.

We've been on the ground for 45 minutes. Just cruising around. My window to maybe eat dinner tonight is gone and my connection is in jeopardy. O'Hare is bad. Star Alliance is bad. Don't do either.

We just drove over I-94.

I don't think I can see the terminal anymore. Our gate was supposed to open up at 8:10. We might be lost.

We just drove around for five minutes, now we're just parked a mile away from the actual terminal. Nope just started rolling again. I think we're hitting up a drive thru. Really glad this joyride is cutting into my layover time.

We're a half hour early landing in O'Hare, so naturally our gate is occupied, so now the plane is driving to Midway, I'm pretty sure.

So he's already amongst the highest paid managers, as expected.
