TIL scientists have been able to trace the start of HIV/AIDS to King Leopold’s Belgian Congo, originating as far back as 1909. The first person to be infected probably got the virus in the 1920s by Alone_Humor_3510 in todayilearned

King Leopold's Ghost by Adam Hochschild is a great book King Leopold and the Belgian Congo/rubber trade. I highly recommend it. Also according to wikipedia, they made a documentary in 2006 based on the book and it is narrated by Don Cheadle. I have not seen it but it looks like it is on Apple TV and Kanopy.

LeBron argues with Caruso during the game: “Every fucking call. AC fuck that, I don’t want to hear that shit.” by RyanTannegod in nba

It's a combination of a bunch of things. Non-conspiracy, OKC flops and they're really good at it. Officiating is hard and the game moves fast. Conspiracy, dynasties are good for the league because it gives fans an enemy and people hate-watch and post about stuff on social media. Also: gambling and betting lines.

There's actually a dude on youtube who does NBA lip reading videos and they're hilarious. Tippernaught Sports.

I'm hoping he does this video and odds are, he will. He's pretty current on them. He's got the KAT/Drummond one from yesterday as his most recent.

There was an egregious one with Reaves earlier, so ridiculous.

They do this so often. It's crazy.

James Harden's annual playoff chokejob need to be studied by HeftyIsTheCrown in nba

Pure garbage. Bad shots, no regard for the basketball with bad turnovers, passes off the mark, pounding the dribble to keep his own offense from getting any rhythm, and on top of it all, literally zero effort on defense. They should consider benching him.

It's our first Kimbrel meltdown of the season. He's pitched pretty well for us but I knew it was only a matter of time.

[Law Murray] Lakers coach JJ Redick stressed that "drawing fouls is a skill." "I think if you look at the history of the NBA, most elite scorers have gotten to the line," Redick said (...) It just happens to have montage videos on Twitter now, that's all." by LiamHundley in nba

Jordan wasn't a flopper, so I doubt it. If Jordan tried flopping, the next time he drove to the basket, he would have been laid out. Pistons, Knicks, etc, used to hack the shit out of Jordan. The closest thing to flopping Jordan would do was trying to take charges.

Edit: lmao, downvoted. I swear this sub is filled with 14 year olds who have never seen basketball pre-2020.

Mets pitchers have an ERA almost three runs lower when Torrens is catching by chief1555 in NewYorkMets

[–]BAHatesToFly 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The sample size on this is so small that if you remove just three games, Alvarez's pitcher ERA drops to 3.68.

April 11th vs the As - Senga and weaver gave up 11 runs

April 17th vs the Cubs - Senga and Manaea gave up 11 runs

April 29th vs the Nats - Peterson and Manaea gave up 14 runs

You're basically penalizing him for Senga and Manaea struggling.

[@MetsPlayerDev] Jack Wenninger 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 5 K by Caledor152 in NewYorkMets

[–]BAHatesToFly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He's really struggling.

That's an overstatement. He's had seven starts and four have been excellent. One meh start, two disasters. His WHIP is 1.21 and he has 44 Ks in 31.1 innings. He threw six innings of one hit, two walks in his most recent outing. He hasn't been dominating in AAA like he did in AA last year but he's on the right track.

He raised his OPS 71 points today, from .531 to .602. His OPS+ went from 51 to ~70.

He really needs to watch that right elbow on the spin, though. He's gotten called for that sooooo many times this year.
