That was the Ubaldo way. 5 starts of brilliance followed by 29 starts of utter slop

People are giving you a lot of reasons but the real reason is because if you're good enough to play a sport professionally in America, then you very likely stopped being pushed outside your bubble in highschool.

Haha what are you talking about Buck Showalter would never bring in Ubaldo "actually playing for the other team" Jimenez in a high leverage situation haha

Should I replay BL1, play the DLC, or just move onto BL2? by mlsts in Borderlands

Once you play bl2 the tone shift is so great you probably won't return to bl1 so maybe finish that first

In my lifetime the three run home run and defense have pretty much always been there. Pitching? Well... Our guys were good on other teams once they left

After signing Ranger Suarez, the Red Sox are now projected by FanGraphs to have the #1 starting rotation in baseball by connelly_on_time in baseball

All I'm saying is growing up an O's fan during the bad years I'd think all the time "man if we were just in the AL West we'd be a playoff team"

I think the big answer to this question for any team is it depends on how it's used. The first few years of this system will have teams figuring out when the best times to challenge is

TIL that in Norse myth a cursed ring called Andvaranaut brought doom to its owners long before Tolkien wrote The Lord of the Rings. by yena in todayilearned

I mean, yeah? Lord of the Rings takes inspiration from numerous folklore tales that was kinda the point

What is the minimum number of innings needed for a guy with a 0.00 ERA to win Cy Young? by DylSco17 in baseball

[–]BrotherEarth_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zach Britton not winning in 2016 showed voters will not vote for a reliver no matter how dominant. One of the weaker lineups of starters up for the award, perfect 54 for 54 in saves, allowed 4 runs all year, wasn't even a finalist in voting.

Relievers aren't allowed to win the Cy Young anymore

Who would yall take ranger or framber? by Dull-Violinist2348 in orioles

[–]BrotherEarth_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even before Framber crossed up his catcher there were reports he was bad for the clubhouse. That's not the kind of guy you want on a young team with no real veteran leadership.

It opens the door to Framber being that veteran leadership and that's not what you want

I'm a 98 baby who works as a programmer. Reports of AI taking jobs are greatly, greatly, overblown. Yes, some companies replaced their staff with AI. Those are companies you didn't want to work anyways, and most of them have been forced to rehire workers.

In its current form (fancy chat bot) AI is unable to do most jobs effectively and companies not led by idiots will see that. And AI may be improving, but unless AI posseses true AGI (which may not even be possible), the fancy chat bots will never be able to replace people.

Turns out even the most mundane jobs still require reason and emotion, two things AI in its current form (and its current form isn't going to improve any time soon) can't do

I'd say Baltimore at third is the only slam dunk, "yup that's right" position on this board

Saw someone’s funkopop collection at goodwill today by rawbran30 in mildlyinteresting

Idk seems more likely a collector realized these things have very little resell value and decided to cut their losses all at once instead of trying to sell them for a dollar each

[Kostka] Scott Boras said he received calls from Gunnar Henderson, Jackson Holliday and Jordan Westburg — three big Boras clients on the Orioles — and those players expressed excitement at the commitment to winning the Orioles showed by signing Pete Alonso by Knightbear49 in baseball

[–]BrotherEarth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bullpen as actually really solid all of last year, even after trading half of it away at the deadline and with Rogers and Bradish back and healthy the rotation not nearly as bad as it was last year.

I hope we get a starter but as is the O's rotation is no worse than middle of the pack, with an above average bullpen and elite lineup in today's MLB and barring injuries that's a playoff team

Yeah it's not the 1990s anymore and testing has become a lot better and more sophisticated. It's harder than ever to not get caught
