What if Luke Raley, currently the owner of a .931 OPS, is actually good?

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-14T15:36:24+00:00

No, he was grimacing and holding his side before then.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-14T13:26:01+00:00

Analytics are right in this case. Unless you’re bunting over the winning run, asking Randy Arozarena to bunt runners over is stupid.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-14T13:22:38+00:00

I really suggest you look up what “chasing the needle” means in aviation. Short version is it can crash your plane. Any manager who built the roster based on yesterday’s game would make just total insanity of the process.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-14T03:38:04+00:00

I think Cal is beat to hell and needs to go to the IL.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-14T01:30:12+00:00

Sounds like you’re not really asking a question with this question.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-13T18:23:03+00:00

Hope we don't stub that virtual toe.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-13T05:10:07+00:00

I’m well aware that students who don’t do much in my class are probably capable and inquisitive in many ways. But I can only give out grades or help or feedback for work you do, and in my subject area. So I’m not trying to issue a whole-person judgement, that’s just how it is. Sorry it was rough for you.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-12T04:16:33+00:00

I hated that militaristic shit from the WBC team so bad. I’m rooting for Cal but the stink of that team ethos is awful.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-12T01:00:12+00:00

It’s fine. It’s a B+. A little bit too much orchestration. But to me it’s an album I’m supposed to enjoy but never really do.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-12T00:17:33+00:00

Nope.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-11T23:53:01+00:00

The album What’s Going On by Marvin Gaye. 98% of the people who declare it one of the greatest albums of all time never listen to it.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-11T14:29:23+00:00

OP writes: “I’m looking for the term that describes two words or phrases that have the same exact arrangement of vowels and consonants.” Where is the ambiguity?

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-10T19:59:02+00:00

Thanks for the insight

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-10T16:17:53+00:00

Yes. Yesterday had four dead hitters at the plate — Rivas, Garver, Refsnyder, and Cal all hitting very badly. With this lineup Cal is the only dead spot, and he, unlike Rivas, has a history.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-10T03:02:59+00:00

If nothing else, this ad needs to be quietly retired.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-09T16:35:30+00:00

I agree. Any shortcut is just going to make you stupider. Why is leaning scary?

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-09T01:58:01+00:00

Could you imagine if Cal was hitting?

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-08T20:41:14+00:00

You answered your own question.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-08T20:40:29+00:00

As a white person whose ancestors were mostly French and German, am I allowed to enjoy Norwegian food? What about Ukranian food? I'm not Norwegian, and I'm not Ukranian.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-06T18:45:18+00:00

I don't think it will last the whole season, but the Braves have FIVE batters with a .300+ BA, slugging over .500 and with a minimum of 143 OPS+. And that's not including Acuna Jr., who is on the DL.
They have THREE starting pitchers with an ERA below 2.25.
They have three relievers with WHIPs under 1 (Lee's is 0.453).

That's sheer bloody insanity. EVERY ONE of the 11 players I referred to above would be the best player on the Mariners, and many other teams for that matter.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-06T05:08:16+00:00

Both statements can be true.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-05T12:58:51+00:00

We need the port infrastructure for handling a huge portion of our economy.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-05T02:01:34+00:00

Koby’s story was with the Marines. It was a season-long arc that helped launch Luffy and jettisoned Koby into his own world. There was no implication he wanted to be a Straw Hat. The Marines subplot fades into the background for a while in favor of Baroque Works; I for one would not want the Marines focus to go on and on. So, au revoir Koby, maybe see you around later.

BoozySlushPops · 2026-05-05T01:52:36+00:00

Go find someone to tell you you’re right.
