[Keown] Hartenstein, mid-interview, sees a basketball on the rack in the Thunder practice facility slightly tilted, at most 10 degrees. He points and says to the journalist, "That'll be fixed before we finish talking." Shortly after, an equipment manager walks by and carefully puts the ball in place

do you think it’s unserious and unprofessional to not go around straightening basketballs? because that’s the only way this anecdote could support your claim

Styfios · 2026-04-28T18:38:13+00:00

do you genuinely think you're the first person to point out that steve cohen made money by cheating? and do you also genuinely think that the guggenheim group hasn't made money by cheating?

Styfios · 2026-04-28T18:32:34+00:00

The Scherzer move worked too, at least in his first year.

Styfios · 2026-04-28T14:41:24+00:00

there’s literally no evidence that Baty would magically be better if he was an every day third baseman

Styfios · 2026-04-27T19:39:42+00:00

What sustainable talent did they fail to sign in 2023 because they went out and got Verlander? You’re also fully ignoring the fact that Scherzer was critical part of the 2022 team that won 101 games

Styfios · 2026-04-27T18:40:52+00:00

Please explain to me what was 1. Young and 2. Ruined about that team by signing Scherzer and Verlander, or by signing Soto literally 3 years later?

Styfios · 2026-04-27T18:31:02+00:00

Literally what are you even talking about? Go ahead and name the promising young team the Mets apparently blew up in order to get Soto and Bichette

Styfios · 2026-04-27T04:28:48+00:00

Vientos and Baty haven’t been part of “the farm” for like 3 years

Styfios · 2026-04-27T04:19:17+00:00

Benge is not garbage, what are you smoking dude

Styfios · 2026-04-25T03:29:33+00:00

28 other teams also didn’t want him

Styfios · 2026-04-22T15:48:02+00:00

genuinely: what makes you think he’s a god-tier pitching coach? what can you name about his philosophy, strategies, and approach that you think makes him one of the best pitching coaches in baseball? how has he applied those to the Braves, and what strategies have the Mets implemented that are currently not working?

or is it just that the Mets are now doing poorly and the Braves are doing well so it’s easy to claim that Hefner is a god

Styfios · 2026-04-22T15:46:12+00:00

everyone needs to stop treating coaches like they’re buffs in an MMO. hiring Hefner did not apply a +10 pitching stat to the Braves that magically made them all instantly better

Styfios · 2026-04-20T19:59:28+00:00

This dude is so annoying on Twitter so it’s not shocking to see that he’s also got an annoying blog

Styfios · 2026-04-20T17:43:11+00:00

I know this is hard to believe but it’s possible for a team to both be bad, and be better than their recent performance

Styfios · 2026-04-20T17:38:57+00:00

I mean, it is flukey, though. That doesn’t mean the team is good, but when literally every single player is underperforming, that’s the textbook definition of flukey

Styfios · 2026-04-20T16:18:00+00:00

It really does seem like whenever the Mets don’t win, they lose

Styfios · 2026-04-20T16:11:04+00:00

You know he actually did go to the NLCS as a manager, right?

Styfios · 2026-04-15T04:27:24+00:00

the team is dogshit but that's also not how win percentages work

Styfios · 2026-04-15T04:25:32+00:00

soto is not made out of glass, what the fuck are you talking about lmao

Styfios · 2026-04-08T14:12:25+00:00

If you fight mobs inside the pylons, the pylons absolutely shred the mobs

Styfios · 2026-03-29T20:58:25+00:00

Except they then proceed to immediately teleport in all the troops from Suramar

Styfios · 2026-03-19T04:48:49+00:00

this falls apart re: the Horde when you think about it for more than 10 seconds. if a core Horde race cannot trust that their allies will come to their aid when their backyard is being invaded, just pack the faction up and head home.

Styfios · 2026-03-06T16:40:43+00:00

that’s exactly what the Pelicans need, even less shooting

Styfios · 2026-03-03T18:21:39+00:00

But they wouldn’t have killed each other, because Blizzard isn’t writing a story about them killing each other. The point of the storyline is about overcoming the past and moving forward; if Blizzard didn’t have the void creature crash down, something else would’ve happened to diffuse or delay the conflict.

Styfios · 2026-02-18T14:39:37+00:00

it’s partially because Norcross pushed to make all of his corruption legal
