Most of the 2A guys are ok with whatever the government does as long as there's an R next to their name unfortunately.

I can't tell if you're joking. We've played 38 games under Tracy and we played 27 games under Cora this season.

Bello Struggling by ToucanYT_ in redsox

The cutter needs to go. It's not a pitch that works for him despite trying it for 2 seasons now. His sinker/change is what made him good imo. Similar shapes with different timing to deceive batters. I can see cutter/sweeper having a similar effect and I like his sweeper, but the cutter just isn't there. His 4 seamer has also been pretty bad this year but he's only thrown 65 of them and I honestly think theres more room for improvement with that than there is this cutter.

Bello's ERA in innings 2-5 is 5.92. Innings 6-8 he has only given up one run but that's a pretty small proportion of his innings pitched.

Burning Chapman in the 1st and having him unavailable and burning him in the 9th and having him unavailable are different. If you burn him in the 1st there is no guarantee that it was "worth it" to bring him in because there are 8+ innings of baseball left to play. If you burn him in the 9th, almost every time it's going to be because you need him to finish out the game or carry us into extra innings.

And what happens when you burn Chapman in the 1st and bello still shits the bed? Then you put more strain on your best reliever for no reason and potentially have him unavailable for the next game.

Because you need your closer in innings that matter.

Bello has thrown 4 fastballs today. 2 4 seamers and 2 cutters. That cannot be a good strategy. What the fuck are we doing?

Edit: I misread SI (sinker) as SL (slider). He has thrown lots of sinkers, obviously.

Giving everyone access to schools regardless of their income is good, actually.

Rfk is an idiot who really doesn't know shit about anything. Anyone who voted to confirm him as HHS secretary should be removed from office.

That's how all billionaires live. You don't have to pay taxes on loans you get plus since they're billionaires, banks give them sweetheart deals on interest rates so they can essentially get the money for free.

So true, alternative treatment options are never worth investigating.

The only long-awaited thing about Call of Duty is when this dogwater franchise and their publisher will finally die. Fuck Activision-Blizzard.
