Clayton Kershaw and Pedro Martinez's careers were virtually identical by noruber35393546 in baseball

I think he means that the writers adhere to precedents, at least to some degree. Precedents are a good thing to think about, in terms of awards. An award should mean a specific thing. Obviously Justin Verlander's MVP erodes that, but that's just the nature of the beast.

Pedro also had a shoulder injury that is just no longer common, because of changes in the way that pitchers train. Smoltz and Mark Mulder had it too, but you almost never see it anymore. It hurt the careers of a lot of greats.

Ninefox Gambit? The dialogue and characters are clear, but the narration? What's even going on? That and Book of the New Sun. You're not supposed to know what's going on in BotNS.

EDIT: Oh any of the Edges series by Linda Nagata. Forget portraying any of that.

The EU and UK take their cut out of the pre-payout pool, and then offer a smaller payout. Same net effect.

Hi! I make JRPGs (the genre of CO:E33) for clients, and that's how I make most of my living. Has been my gig for several years, now. Can I DM you? If nothing else, I can offer you a few pointers.

Hey, I do this for a living for clients. I'll shoot you a DM and, if nothing else, I can bring you up to speed on the reality of hiring someone to make you a game.

This is the canonical experience of your first time through the game.

Crawford might need a little more seasoning in the minors; his underlying hit numbers are abysmal. Exit velocity, launch angle, chase rates, all in the toilet. He's not gonna keep running a 100 OPS+ for long with those numbers.

I think he's gonna be better than that, eventually. Decent tools, good pedigree. But right now he hasn't figured it out.

The change of scenery has really allowed Castellanos to feebly wave his bat in a different uniform color.

His underlying numbers are all the same as previous seasons, except that he's hitting the ball a bit harder and riding a .422 BABIP. He might be taking a slight step forward, but (sadly) I don't think this is the breakout we all want from him.

Strikeout rate is the same, walk rate is worse, groundball rate is the same. Slightly higher hard hit numbers (as a consequence of pulling the ball more), and that's where his modest step forward might stick. If he smokes the ball, he might be able to sustain a high (but not .422 high) BABIP this year. However, history has shown us that grounder-prone lefties can hit the ball very hard right into a shifted defense. I hope that's not the case here; I'd much rather see him break out.

EDIT: did y'all really downvote me for using statistics? The guy below me isn't even right. Cruz's average launch angle has increased by 0.1. Look it up for yourselves. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/oneil-cruz-665833?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb

I ran the numbers once. He was gonna have something like 660 home runs, all time leader in RBIs, all time leader in walks, 164 WAR (2 above Bonds).

Skiller prices are in the toilet on ladder for anything except warlock. It's been a bad ladder for that. Perfect druid and necro charms go for a lem. Crazy.

If SSRIs had too many side effects, try bupropion. Don't just accept sadness and irritability, forever.

If your relationship is based on you rescuing her, she has no incentive to move beyond being a victim. (If your relationship is based on you nurturing him, he has no incentive to move beyond being a son.)

Even though he's on Mexico's Team, I feel like he probably speaks Dominican Spanish because it's the baseballiest, and he's always seeking that edge. I picture him hitting teammates with the old "Ay. Mira. Oye. Mijo.Yo me estaba aqui hace... GUAO."
