There are SO many different way to unpack that triple slash alone. It’s unsettling.

I mean... only 36% of the time did he get a hit.
But the 60% of the time he was on base means he walked a lot, which should suggest he rarely got a good pitch to hit
But that’s clearly contradicted by the great AVG and the absolutely…

One of my favorite sports stats (and I may not have the exact time period correct, but all else is):

From 2001-04, Barry Bonds’ OBP was at least .515. That means that, for four consecutive seasons, Barry Bonds got on base more often than he didn’t. That’s fucking insane.

But Krause also had that 1987 draft when he took Horace Grant and flipped Olden Polynice for Scottie Pippen. The following year, he traded Michael Jordan’s BFF to New York for an aging backup center. He picked Toni Kukoc knowing he wouldn’t come over right away, before parking on a Euro prospect was the sexy thing to…

Oh, I remember. He drafted Pipp, Horace, Kukoc, traded for Cartwright and shitcanned Doug Collins.

When he’s healthy, Horford is one of the best players in basketball today. When he’s healthy, Kyle Korver is one of the most dangerous shooting threats in basketball history. When he’s healthy, Paul Milsap is one of the most versatile big men in basketball. Etc, etc, etc. I never got the “The Hawks have no stars!”…

Let’s also not forget that this star-shunning team has put their name in the ring for literally every big free agent of the last 6 or 7 years, albeit with varying degrees of how probable it was that they’d sign the likes of Lebron, Dwight, et. al. They’re fitting the system around the stars they have and the free…

...the Knicks threw nearly 40 more passes per game than the Hawks did this season. Are they beacons of selflessness in a game hijacked by superstar egos?

Calls for more stringent hair-based drug testing were backed up by several former NCAA hoops stars, chief among them Charlie Villanueva.

No, it’s real.

Well they certainly can’t give him an eye exam.

Thinks We Actually Like would’ve been a good one too.

Feels like America just won the World Cup.

I have to admit, I started reading the article thinking “Kaputt is better than anything Taylor Swift has ever put out- this guy’s just scrounging for something to write about.” But I wholeheartedly agree with this assessment: There’s something inherently disingenuous about indie acts claiming they’re not making music…

My grandmother kept all of her starches in Tupperwear containers, none of them with labels. This of course lead to the occasional slip up - most notably making donuts using Shake n’ Bake instead of flour for the volunteer firefighters in her village. It’s good a thing their house never caught on fire.

Oh nonsense. This is the kind of idiocy that ruins baseball. The ball left the damn playing field. If the rule needs to be changed that the hitter only needs to “run around the basepaths and pass over each base” to satisfy pedants like you, I’m fine with that. But there’s no way you slice this that it’s not a massive…

Next time he hits a home run, he should carefully walk around the bases and make a big show of touching each one, taking up around five minutes of time, if it’s so important.

That’s the part that most of the troglodytes here see unable to understand. The ball is absolutely, 100% dead. The whole excercise of having them run about the basis is purely showmanship. Fussing about the choreography of it is somehow simultaneously juvinile and the kind of fussy nonsense I’d expect from my granddad…
