  1. the perverse incentive structure of a losing team is somewhat at fault. Doing the needful to win a game isn't as important to the bottom line as doing the things that get you paid in terms of individual metrics.
  2. The Spetznatz have a motorcycle gang in the area
  3. Listening to BBC coverage while i'm here on vacation in central Europe, I noted a bit too much both-sides-ism from the anchors when they would ask the US-based reporters basic stuff. The US-based reporters would correct a lot of misguided stuff.
  4. Its a really interesting comparison. It really does show that talent matters and the small ball tactical stuff is just ... chrome on the bumper. Atlanta won 101 games but was below water in 1-run games 17-25. That's interesting. Their blowout numbers (wins of 5+ runs) was 37-19. Detroit lost 119 and was above water in 1-run games 19-18. The blowout number was 7-40 UGH!
  5. My frustration with them being in a bunch of extra inning losses is mainly because they had to fight their tails off to be in those games where being better in the first place would have avoided that outcome. The fact that Eric Haase can’t get a runner over and Javy Baez WON’T are just symptoms.
  6. Team culture matters when players don't toss extra inning games away because with a runner on 2nd they refuse to hit the ball to the right side or go for the kill shot hit. This team has multiple losses just from that this season.
  7. today could be like a two-fer
  8. I was thinking he would be eating the checkers pieces
  9. Not Paul Ryan’s best moment
  10. Boris is a Russian
  11. he could have stepped up earlier
  12. But for Dan Quayle
  13. Yes here it is
  14. BTW, i’ve been in a bunch of NATO cities this last week and i will say, NATO is solid and against Russia all the way. Actually it’s shocking. But genocide tends to focus the mind.
  15. Biden has danced as carefully as necessary —and to hold an alliance together—to avoid general war. If Putin wants to escalate. Well.
  16. and screw whataboutism in all its forms
  17. I’m not gonna apologize for calling out the troll for what he is
  18. When do the festive rituals begin today?
  19. indicted war criminal doesn’t want to face the music
  20. waking up to this on vacation in the GMT time zone.
  21. So, Moscow Boris Epsteyn has been identified as co-conspirator #6.
  22. The thread was and only is about cleaning up the insanity on the RW in American Politics. Whatever, directives comrade piggie received from his bosses won't change that.
