Nah, you see it’s the perfect list weight. He can cut weight to get to 265 very easily for the beginning of training camp. Drink a few glasses of water and eat normally and he’s back to his preferred weight.

I disagree, I think it was most certainly inten....ohhhhhhh

Yep. Those things all mean something. Overuse is the problem, not that they are nonsensical on their own.

Well, they’re not collard people...

That is certainly one of the negative consequences of taking and running with the “privilege” battle cry. It leaves a lot of people who have historically been sympathetic to a lot of progressive causes in the past, particularly throughout Appalachia and the Rust Belt, and left them saying “I’m not privileged,” and…

On your first point, I have a question for you. Having not read the book, I cannot contextualize the dialogue, so I will need your help. Right or wrong, that is most certainly something people (at least some people) say. Do you feel that it was presented as “this is perfectly acceptable” or was it more “this is how…

I think there’s a slight, but very real difference between comparing the two re: perception/attitudes historically vs. saying they’re the same from a nuts-and-bolts science perspective. Yes, there is a bit more to these tests than what one gets in a home pregnancy test. I don’t think she was truly saying they are the…

I saw a brief mention of it in another comment. Was there something particularly noteworthy about it? A reason the staff would unceremoniously pull it?

It’s funny, I think every fanbase of every team believes this about their team.

You mean < 50 PA is really early to close the book on a season?

You don’t like that he used a provision in his contract that he negotiated for and the team gave him? If you’re saying that the NY market is tougher and he shouldn’t be surprised, that’s fine (although he even says he gets it in the quote above). It seems like you’re saying you dislike him simply for exercising his…

Judge at least gets walks to help offset his strikeouts, but Stanton doesn’t so his numbers are just that much worse.

Also, Judge is still under team control, so it’s not like he’s on a huge contract at this point (thus a Agon/Crawford situation).

Also, the post sort of glosses over that it was Aaron Judge who was walked (that is not some slouch).

I understand that scores and highlights can be found elsewhere, but I still don’t understand what’s so bad about classic sportscenter (i.e. a rundown of every game from the previous night) to the brass at ESPN. Do people really love the video packages and music and lebron press conferences more than highlights? Again,…

When I worked in a restaurant, there was nothing that befuddled me more than folks who would make multiple substitutions then complain about taste.

Overall, I would say it’s completely fine.

Another scene from Career Opportunities (also featuring JEnnifer Connally).

I’ll be hanging by the coin-operated vibrating horses...

Was going to make the Career Opportunities joke, but it seems you already hit that in the post itself. So, I guess I’ll just leave this here...
