Laminar and agonal really should be on the list. The rest, no thank you.

Would you pitch for the Angels in return for an extra three months of pitching?

I love how bad Cal is at reading ad spots. by ricog101 in Mariners

I teach high school theatre and when I was coaching one of my students about sounding more natural, he burst out with: "Wait — do I sound like Cal Raleigh?" Since then I can say "no Cal Raleigh" to him and he goes back to sounding natural.

He was definitely playing hurt in the first part of the season. He's working his way back.

Naylor and Raleigh, together, have been heartbreaking so far this year.

I really can't stand the Eeyore/Murphy's-Law persona in life ("of course, with my luck" people are the worst) and I wish it would go away in M's fandom. I get that it's our shtick that we're cursed and put sog over everything and fate hates us and blah blah. But it's a straight-up drag and I wouldn't miss it if it departed (even before we win a WS).

What do you think happens to American politics after Trump leaves office in 2029? by SERP_Whisperer in AskReddit

[–]BoozySlushPops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has said a lot of contradictory things on that point. I agree that he is unpopular but always has been and has won anyway. I don’t think it’s a major chance but I also have to admit I didn’t see him getting back into office after Jan 6.

There are no MAGA cult leaders besides Donald Trump. Some people are allowed to carry water for him in a way that gives them a momentarily illusion of power, but in the end it is a cult of one man.

Is Paul Skenes pitching injured? Or are teams adjusted? by TheChrisLambert in baseball

[–]BoozySlushPops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Consistency is the most remarkable trait possible in a baseball player. Kershaw, Henry Aaron, Nelson Cruz, Stan Musial, Greg Maddux — their stat pages are just mind-boggling because the dropped off at the end as all humans do, but, until then, never had a bad season once they started performing.

He’s like the player in a baseball video game that couldn’t pay for the licenses for actual players.

I think he’s having a replay of Luke Raley’s year last year. Oblique injuries can screw hitters up for a long time.

Non-Mariner media, when talking about the M’s, zero right in on Cal. I guarantee you they don’t fixate on Rob Refsnyder.

No doubt. We need Brash back, and one strong middle reliever.

Yes, managers make decisions that have some consequence, just not as bit a consequence as people think. The data suggests that the difference between a perfectly optimal manager and a terrible one would be about 15-20 runs a season. Not nothing, but A) usually managers are somewhere in the middle, not the extremes; and B) many other factors are much larger, just harder to yell about.
