Me: oh wow, this shop has everything my heart desires!

Spooky shopkeeper: yes, I will warn you... every item comes with a price.

Me: yes, I know how shops work

kittydesade

Spooky Shopkeeper: The price may be more than you expect to pay.

Me: Yes, I know how US taxes work, too.

Shopkeeper, increasingly exasperated: I'm trying to tell you that I'm evil and offering these wares with no regard for the harm they will do!

Me, also increasingly exasperated: I know what capitalism is too goddammit

“The league’s motivation is to…create more base-hit action and have a positive impact on the game’s aesthetics.” Heaven forbid we play unaesthetic baseball…🙄

We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

Seeing the Brewers and Rays being described as "teams who play the game the right way instead of just listening to computers" is further proof that analytics just means "things I don't like" and that people have somehow gotten dumber about this stuff over the last decade

with baseball you have Chris Sale, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, two guys who couldn’t be any more different, if you stood them next to each other, you’d never guess they play the same sport, and both are filthy. Love this stupid sport.

Miller is an absolute unicorn, but us #athletics fans been knowing: even though he’s great, he’s never - ever - been used in a way that indicates he can hold up in the way that postseason relievers are usually needed (multiple innings, 2-3 consecutive outings). No shade. He just ain’t never been him
