Just out of curiosity ...

If memory serves, Brady only denied knowing McNally personally, and didn’t deny knowing Jastremski.

You weren’t the first, you won’t be the last. :(

Or it might not actually be their logo at all, but rather something Deadspin whipped up as commentary.

This coming from the person who doesn’t seem to understand what statistics are.

That’s funny ... because if you asked Bill James how likely Mark Buerhle was to have thrown a no-hitter in 2009, he’d immediately start by looking at the long-term stats (the 2009 season would be sufficient) to determine how out of character a game with no hits would have been for Buerhle. (He’d also give you some…

I was going to say ... there’s an apocalypse-and-aftermath movie set just waiting to be put to use.

The average BABIP in major league baseball is about .300. In other words, when you let batters make contact and put the ball in play for all 27 outs, you should give up 8 hits. Hence the value of strikeouts - all things being equal, if you put up 10 Ks, you’re taking 3 hits away from the offense, statistically…

It’s a useful metric that breaks down at extremes. This is definitely an extreme.

Well, if you’re the Cavs, there’s no sense playing for Game 7, so why not?

Here’s a tip: if there needs to be a disambiguation between men and women to make the object of your statement clear, it’s perfectly fine. Women’s World Cup, US Women’s National Team, etc.

Well, calling them “women” is at least heading in the right direction. Calling female soccer players “young ladies” implies “ladylike” behavior, which is where the trouble starts, because of how “ladylike” is defined: polite and quiet in a way that has traditionally (like, oh, say, prior to Title IX) been considered…

For the record, three things:

Your point wasn’t that Legler’s analysis was wrong, just that it wasn’t misogynistic.

That’s partly by design, genius. The goal of a defender in the wall isn’t to jump as high as possible, but rather to cover as much of the goal mouth as possible. So, you don’t really want a lot of air jumping in a wall formation, and you want to have your legs fully extended with your toes pointed downward, and you…

Yes. OBP doesn’t use at bats as a divisor. The divisor for OBP includes walks, HBPs, and sac flies. Colon’s average is 3/21 (.143), but his OBP is 3/22 (.136), because he has one sac fly.

You left out Jobu’s rum.

Taylor’s probably good with the 50 gallon drum of lube, though.

EbolaCup 2026 in West Africa?

if i pay for something i should not get ads. period.

In case the name “John Carlos” doesn’t ring a bell:
