Never not funny.

From this article:

Master class in moving the goalposts, here.

Redacted. Meant for different commenter.

Are they both happy? Then what’s the problem?

When these stories happen, I’m always disappointed by how many people feel comfortable proclaiming that they know the appropriate amount of risk people should accept.

That’s what kills me. I mean, you’re(pl.) pro-life and believe in limited government and strong immigration regulation, fine. We may disagree on all those points, but I cannot at least appreciate your perspective and we can have a discussion. But when you can’t acknowledge the self-evident truth that Trump is…

I hope you’re right, but his approval rating is still hovering around 40%. And, while that’s historically low, it’s still pretty high and means he’s got real supporters and they walk amongst us.

Thanks for being cool and curious. Much respect.

Okay. Than how about when they adjusted the intentional walk last season?

I agree completely.

Yes. I’ll use extreme examples to try and illustrate the principle:

It’s not relevant that both teams’ chance of scoring increases by the same amount. What matters is how the new rule affects the distribution of runs-scored probabilities.

I agree 100% that speeding up the game at the plate and the mound is the better solution, but I can’t get too worked up about this new format putting “too much pressure on the pitcher.” They can handle it, and it’s not much different than the extra pressure on a goalie in a hockey shootout.

Too bad.

Yup. When I was in Bruges, we were able to get a single bottle from a bar to be shared amongst five or six of us. It was very tasty.

Forgot in “in the round” and slow spinning, I want “in the rotor” and fast spinning!

I like to watch sports. I love the grace and power and tension and emotion. But for the life of me, I can’t understand why anybody would ever waste a minute watching a bunch of stuffed suits speculate and debate about what they think might happen in the future.

From my experience (and I work with a lot of doctors) is that the same drive and inquisitiveness that enabled them to succeed in medicine has enabled them to succeed at many other things.
