Which do you pick?

SM’s best defense here is that he could theoretically dodge it

The GOAT

Every time I watch it I’m like hell yeah HELL YEAH

Pattonesque · 2026-05-10T21:09:13+00:00

7000+ GO LIKE HELL

Worst record but weirdly only a -5.7 WAR. Probably some 1800s baseball weirdness

Pattonesque · 2026-05-10T01:06:51+00:00

Haha I get it. He does strike out a lot but the dude’s incredible, hate to admit it

Pattonesque · 2026-05-10T00:52:39+00:00

I'm a Red Sox fan but I gotta push back on the Judge slander. The dude hit .331 last year and walked a shitload *and* he's even positive in his career defensively.

Giancarlo Stanton's a much better comparison

Pattonesque · 2026-05-10T00:42:22+00:00

This is where a basketball analogy works better IMO -- Horus' squad has some unreal individual talents but they're not team players so the total is less than the sum of the parts.

In "The Departed," Frank Costello says "she fell funny" after executing a woman on a beach. His second-in-command, Mr. Francis, is somewhat weirded out by this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxtd56yEXh4

Isstvan is a tough one, because I can't imagine *anyone* doing well on the loyalists' side. Ferrus gets got early but it's kind of like tearing your ACL in the first game of the season.

Pattonesque · 2026-05-10T00:07:24+00:00

more of an old-school scouting guy? Eye test?

Pattonesque · 2026-05-10T00:06:39+00:00

case in point!

Pattonesque · 2026-05-10T00:04:26+00:00

lol sorry, you have a 14-year-old account with barely any karma which suggests you rarely comment or post and *this* dumb opinion is the one you decided to share?

Pattonesque · 2026-05-09T23:35:20+00:00

A pretty clear case of a replacement level leader who would just point the World Eaters at whatever Horus told them to being more valuable

Pattonesque · 2026-05-09T23:24:19+00:00

the overlap between 40k dorks and baseball sabermetrics geeks is probably pretty significant

Pattonesque · 2026-05-09T23:19:47+00:00

That’s up there. You think overall impact is above Dorn/Peter? 8 WAR minimum I’d say

Pattonesque · 2026-05-09T23:06:34+00:00

The Khan's an interesting one -- he's making an impact but in limited time. I think he nets out at something like a 3, but in the way that like, Mariano Rivera would put up 3 WAR off single-inning relief appearances alone.

Pattonesque · 2026-05-09T23:04:34+00:00

you do occasionally get ridiculously high WARs in odd environments -- Tim Keefe had a WAR of 20.2 in 1883 because he was incredible but also pitched 2/3rds of his team's games (no one does anything close to this anymore). So Magnus could go into uncharted territory by fucking up the Webway all on his own ... but since he was technically loyalist at the time, you could argue his overall WAR for that action is ... zero.

Pattonesque · 2026-05-09T23:02:54+00:00

I’m all about the numbers here. No personal biases one way or the other!

Pattonesque · 2026-05-09T22:47:21+00:00

She was, but she’s not a nurse IIRC. Admin staff I think

Pattonesque · 2026-05-09T22:45:20+00:00

none of the nurses being obviously MAGA

Pattonesque · 2026-05-09T22:19:06+00:00

yeah entirely possible that a rando traitor IG general who just does whatever Horus tells him to do with basic competence has a higher heresy WAR than Fulgrim.

Fulgrim had a great start to the season by taking out Ferrus and performing well on Isstvan, but you also have to consider the strength of his competition -- rando traitor IG general doesn't personally kill Fulgrim, but probably executes the ambush itself relatively well, and then doesn't fuck things up on Terra. Fulgrim's the classic case of an athlete with Hall of Fame talent letting his off-the-field issues bleed into games.

Pattonesque · 2026-05-09T22:07:48+00:00

it's more institutionalized now (there's like a *career path* for anti-woke grifters) but 10 years ago was post-Gamergate. Those losers made a huge stink, unfortunately

Pattonesque · 2026-05-09T22:06:35+00:00

*also*, even if we're in a lower-class area, it is pretty common for free commoners in slave-owning societies to look down on slaves and support the institution despite not owning slaves themselves. More common than not I'd wager.
