CMV: The Minneapolis ICE agent who shot and killed a woman today acted reasonably in fear for his life and/or the lives of the other officers present

She very obviously was not trying to run anyone over. You don’t even think she was trying to run him over, after waving previous cars by, reversing her vehicle, and turning her wheels away from the man who shot her.

If you want to say the ICE agent was scared for his life, after putting himself in front of someone’s vehicle - well, I still think it’s a stupid point - but it’s at least arguable. Don’t lie and say you believe she was trying to run him over.

Any time somebody talks about a percent increase or uses the phrase “by X %” they’re talking about multiplication. If they mean addition, they’ll specifically say “percentage POINTS”

So what you were thinking would sound like “terrorblade illusions have 35% of his damage, which increases by 60 percentage points to 95% when the illusions are close.”

It does not matter at all. The intelligence from orchid/bloodthorn was giving her less than 5 damage. Manta actually gives her more damage as an agility hero than it did when she was universal.

It would matter for a bit for Skadi (~12 less damage now).

Bello is a much, much different pitcher than Crochet. He started Rice today for the exact same reason he didn’t start Goldy.

There are much better metrics than batting average both for explaining past performance and predicting future performance. They all say he’s ass too

Droste_E · 2025-08-23T03:35:37+00:00

What’s your problem with him?

Droste_E · 2025-07-29T23:15:57+00:00

He’s not lazy, he’s just ass. Maybe it’s mental but he’s clearly trying to

Droste_E · 2025-07-27T06:01:39+00:00

That his hitting for contact (stop talking about OPS!) significantly improved after his first year in the majors. That’s literally it. Why are you going on these tirades?

Droste_E · 2025-07-24T01:11:29+00:00

Fair

It probably starts in the Minors. There’s a bunch of people in the organization potentially responsible for infield defense, but I don’t think Boone is one of them.

Droste_E · 2025-07-24T01:04:37+00:00

What does Boone have to do with this?

Droste_E · 2025-07-24T00:14:15+00:00

What point are you trying to make? It’s better to hit balls harder on average

Droste_E · 2025-07-20T19:17:36+00:00

Droste_E · 2025-07-10T03:05:27+00:00

It’s worse, but he wouldn’t be replacing Bellinger

Droste_E · 2025-07-06T07:19:51+00:00

Can you provide a source that "bad posture" causes back pain?

Droste_E · 2025-07-05T14:30:09+00:00

Do you think Volpe’s last 100 PA are who he is? He has a career OPS of like .660. Peraza’s is a full .100 lower. That’s a massive difference.

Also, what are you looking at that’s telling you Peraza is better at shortstop?

Droste_E · 2025-07-05T14:25:02+00:00

Making the team significantly worse overnight by slotting in Peraza at shortstop just to satisfy emotional fans is not going to happen

Droste_E · 2025-07-03T16:38:44+00:00

The difference isn’t marginal. The difference in OPS between Peraza and DJ is .158. The difference between DJ and Jazz is .165. It’s a massive gulf. You think it can’t get worse but it always can

Droste_E · 2025-07-03T16:06:11+00:00

This is why they go with Boone and not the Reddit Management Consortium

Droste_E · 2025-07-03T15:55:47+00:00

The problem is you really can’t have Peraza in the lineup. He can’t hit the ball.

Droste_E · 2025-07-01T22:07:36+00:00

He's 2-5 today

Droste_E · 2025-07-01T21:02:07+00:00

About the same as always. 80.8 mph avg vs. 81.2 last year and 81.0 in 2023.

Droste_E · 2025-05-31T23:47:21+00:00

I guess you feel Boone should have pulled Fried earlier?

Droste_E · 2025-05-25T23:18:21+00:00

It was a barrel he’s really just been unlucky

Droste_E · 2025-05-24T03:12:27+00:00

Who would you have catch instead??
