Thank you for taking the time to look up the stat I was too lazy to look up. Sarcasm is hard to detect online - I was throwing mad shade at Carl for choosing to only describe klay and curry as shooters, even though curry is an elite ball handler and famous for his ability to finish near the rim despite his relatively…

Seeing as klay and curry are two of the worst ball handlers in the league that never slash to the basket or finish well at the rim, I guess having an elite shooter at another position opening up the floor would be a waste of time.

... So your answer is to get a player who replicates the position that one of your superstars plays as opposed to a player at a position that would complement the existing roster? And your logic is that (if you’re trying to get shooters then get shooters). Uh... Ok. Good thinking, Mr. Hinkie.

that may have been a tactical decision by the warriors to limit fast breaks

What part of that is confusing?

I was always a fan of Josh Gibson’s history as a young baseball person and favored him as well. I’m not prepared to compare the level of competition between the negro leagues and Oh’s era of NPL - much less the level of MLB competition in the era of the negro leagues when the top African American players were not…

I will *think* about letting ichiro’s Nippon league stats count if we are prepared to completely integrate full career stats and records of Nippon league players into our MLB historical review.

If oh hit 868 against npl competition, and josh Gibson hit “almost 800 home runs” in pro and independent leagues and exhbition games, which slugger hit more?

I mean... It the MLS an inferior league simply because it’s promising young stars sometimes move on to more prestigious leagues and it also is home to many former international stars who are over the hill?

I’m 2 for 2 now on reading articles on this subject and finding uninspired, oblique references to Waterloo in the comments.

The ump called time, which renders the ball out of play.

No one holds the bat while walking down the line and then turns to his dugout and flips it. Its not a thing that happens. In MLB it would definitely get you thrown at at the very least (which is why it doesn’t happen).

I hope you can appreciate the irony that I learned of Muhammad Ali’s death from this headline that exists to snark on the Marlins breaking the news

“Guys who play dirty 30+ minutes per game are irreplaceable stars the league can’t do without. Role players who play dirty don’t belong in the league.” ...k

It also doesn’t sound like a lot if you know the league has existed for 140 years and teams have played well over a 100 games each year.

My mind is numb from all the warriors fans pretending there is no connection or relation between dellavedova’s nut shot and green’s several.

This article was written by a man who has never heard of the almost ten year old classic Team Fortress 2.

parse it further - the only statement of “he” doing something in the antecedent sentence is “he couldn’t understand what was going on” - so why would his *defense lawyers* argue “ ‘he did’ “?

Right, I get what was meant - the wording forces the reader through a number of hoops that a proper antecedent-pronoun construction would not have done.

“According to the Lehigh Valley Express-Times, the issue was whether *Snuka’s dementia* was so severe that *he couldn’t understand* what was going on with the legal proceedings. His defense lawyers argued *he did*; the prosecutors said it was all a show.”
