@cowboysstats.bsky.social “I’ll take you to the white wizard, he’ll know what to do” Would’ve saved a lot of fear and tension if Treebeard wasn’t so goddam racist

It’s a target, yes. Prices will fluctuate freely on the market, but you need an initial selling price to get things started. You hire a big bank, they figure a target price (say $65), buy huge quantities beforehand at $60, but but agree to only sell a fraction the first day and keep rest 6 months

@johncullen.bsky.social US vs Sweden, 6th end. Why did USA play the hit to give up 2 instead of the freeze to the button, potentially stealing 1 and making 2+ very hard? Am I missing something strategic, was the hit supposed to roll to center? Too high risk of missing freeze and giving up 3+?

FWIW, this is a misleadingly written article. Jeffries said to ban *detainment* of US citizens, in addition to deportation. Also, it’s not “further” than Schumer, it’s a different set of demands distinct from the Senate’s. (And only Senate votes matter here anyway, GOP House already passed it)

@brianphillips.bsky.social I needed something uplifting during yard work, so I turned on the euphoria machine called 22 Goals for the first time in 4 years and it’s still sooo good. So many great stories and hilarious bits and pure enthusiasm

@tangotiger.com I'm trying to recreate your Marcel-style batting and pitching forecasts from scratch. I think I finally understand var(obv) = var(tal) + var(luck) and how to calculate the 'constant' to get r=0.5 I can do that for wOBA overall, but I can also do it for each batting component

@analyticf.pl how often/when do your models update? I've been desperate for a 538 replacement and I got hooked on your models, so I'm dying over here after this weekend!

@dmitry.mclachbot.com not the biggest thing, but could you update mclach app to allow for multi-year team and player comparisons? I'd often like to see a rolling average for a team from one season to the next, or see a player's profile over multiple years/bigger sample

@kierdoyle.bsky.social since shouldn’t be much to talk about after Morecambe, can you do a season long review of how Maresca has changed? Seems we spent ~2 months not pressing and using subs, to lots of pressing and no more subs. Also Gusto as 10 to Enzo/Cucu as 10.

@zonal-marking.bsky.social Re: Chelsea & Pellegrini offside trap, I see the high line and defenders stopping their momentum, causing them to fall behind when the attack keeps moving, but isn't the bigger issue all of those chances have unmarked attackers which allow the attack to keep moving?

I agree, yet they gave him power that he's gonna be able to wield and abuse for 4 years, and the consequences will last far beyond that And, unlike last time, the group of people he'll empower this time won't try to stop him
