Plus isn't Netflix basically the only streaming service that just horsefeathers dumps their shows all at once (while also barely promoting them or letting you know they exist)? I feel like all the others do and have done the weekly thing, or release the episodes in several blocks. Go eat a broken p...

I think WandaVision and Mandalorian are both proof that a good show doled out weekly is the way to go. There's SO much more prolonged discussion over it that gets new viewers. I've seen people online that haven't watched the MCU but are so enamored with everyone talking about WV that they want to f...

Jeez that seems like best-case scenario for everyone. bayern gets a young american winger chelsea gets more haaland money bayern games are all on espn+ pulisic goes to a system where he fits i cant see bayern spending $70 mil or whatever the article said on him though, not after this last year Yeah...

I realize I haven't been paying close attention, but who the horsefeathers is Gray Fenter? Sounds like a migratory bird species. Rule 5 pick from Baltimore, good arm but very old for his levels, could be a starter, swingman, or short reliever. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-2020-rule-5-draft-scout...

Liverpool Leipzig at Anfield screams over to me. Surely there's another goal in this game. Yeah it's funny how one performance can shift the window for perception so much. Two bad giveaways from Leipzig and now Liverpool is in commanding position to advance, and the quarterfinals don't start for ~7...

I will admit I am not proud of the visceral 'get off my lawn' reaction I had to this article: https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/30906788/this-future-nba-top-shot-dizzying-world-digital-collectibles After reading it and digesting I get it, even though I have zero interest in it. The basic p...

how did I miss that Kepa was back in the team under Tuchel, are they venting carbon monoxide into the Chelsea manager's office or something

Which you can say all of the same for Arrieta, only Darvish just got done doing the good stuff whereas Jake has been trending away for four years now, with a more recent injury history. If we're just focusing on 2021 Zips, which is fine because I think it's the best of the options, I'll go back to ...

I may have something similar re: 2018-present for Darvish, but to be clear the only performance I explicitly mentioned above was his 2021 ZiPS forecast. But even then I think if you take a large but logical timeframe, say after his TJS which strips out pre-injury and mid-20s Darvish that aren't very...

So with all appropriate caveats about how much of a horsefeathsrs PTR is and how it shouldn't have been an either/or... you've gotta chalk it up to Jed here. He turned Darvish and Vic into Davies Joc Jake Romine 4 good prospects Plus whatever You'd money can buy in '22/'23. In a season where pitche...

https://twitter.com/keithlaw/status/1361009198641926145?s=20 Keith you got people worked up by repeatedly comparing his lack of power to Juan Pierre, then tried to whitewash it with this generic 'guess I was right your team's prospect wasn't a star' schtick when he doubled that level of IsoP at eve...

With his slash line and age, I'm not sure why he would be available. His value is heavily tied to him being able to hit singles, he hasn’t graded out particularly well defensively, and most importantly, the Twins have Andrelton, Polanco, and several other players near MLB ready in middle infield. a...

There were rumors Luis Arraez may be available earlier in the offseason. He’d be an awesome fit, great contact hitter and he has a career like .350/.390/.480 slash line vs RHP. With his slash line and age, I'm not sure why he would be available. His value is heavily tied to him being able to hit si...

That pizza might give St Louis style a run for the money I've never seen or heard of that style pizza(despite living in northern OH for 13 years), but it can't be worse than St. Louis style pizza. This is adding more of a good thing except it's cold. St. Louis style pizza replaces existing ingredie...

Skepticism about the individual players or the org's real investment in winning are more than fair, but the idea that platoons or part time roster spots are signs of a weaker offense are missing the evolution that has happened over the last few years. As an example, let's look at the Top 5 offenses ...

If you squint you can kind of see the rate of drop in cases slow down a little bit this week. But I've thought that at mid-week the past couple of weeks, and then we usually get a few good days to balance it out, so I'm not sure. I think it's possible that if the previous theory about this drop mos...

MLS expansion is so wild to me. How big do they want this league to get? 40 teams? 50? Are they hoping to get so big that they can do their own promotion/relegation without using the USL? I think they've mostly got the league they want leading up to the world cup, and they'll be exploring how to co...

I wonder how they would have played it if she hadn't become borderline box office poison because of Goop.

I would far prefer a dead ball to the blurnsball we've been getting. Doubly so this year since pitchers will be fighting greater fatigue as the season goes on. so, reduces home runs without decreasing strike outs? Seems pointless to me. strike outs are boring - home runs aren't. Those things don't ...

Seven Pounds. The trailer made it out to be this mysterious thriller and i talked a big group of college friends into going after finals. For those not blessed to see it, the movie answers the age old question of “what if Lifetime got Will Smith to play the lead in one of their movies of the week?”

You know things are going well when Boomer’s halftime talking point is “there are too many penalties leading to points for Tampa”.
