The better comparison for this show is Louie, for all of its auteur-ist strokes (including casting roles against racial expectation), offbeat moments of brilliance, and disappointments.

After all we’ve learned about the guy since he retired, I wonder a lot how sincere that ALS stuff from him really was. Don’t hear much from him supporting ALS research these days.

But why would a man who constantly lies and never got caught believe a bunch of stupid conspiracy theories that claim government officials are lying about everything?

I find people who sit in judgment and declare, “You’re not welcome here ever!” to be the most positive people, really.

Holy shit, can we please do this, if only for a week?

Clearly you don’t understand the leverage index at all.

This is a huge disadvantage for the Cubs, especially since Cleveland is pitching a very well rested Kluber.

Beat 1-0, on a run he didn’t give up. And Lester was beat on a fluky ground ball with the bases loaded. Hardly drubbings.

I think that would be silly, because your highest leverage outs are not (generally) in the first inning, and you want Andrew Miller pitching to those batters, but Terry Francona is a smarter baseball man than I am so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Per Tom Tango’s Leverage Index, the seventh inning situation was higher leverage, just for being that much later in the game.

He’ll still throw 100.

But can he locate and will his slider be effective? That’s the bigger question.

You should probably just have left it at “I don’t follow baseball that closely.”

Equally as important, in a perverse way, is that by opening up such a huge lead early on, the Cubs allowed Andrew Miller to completely sit this one out, so they’re likely dealing with 9 innings of Kluber/Miller. Good luck with that.
