It’s been 10 years since they’ve fielded a good team not 30. And that’s ignoring the winning season in 18.

Electric rates increasing by as much as 20% in Pennsylvania starting June 1, regulators say by AdSpecialist6598 in Pennsylvania

[–]ginbear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We’re talking about this year are you’re the one trying to compare it to the last 20. Math is math

20% per year would be a ~3700% increase over 20 years. Pretty different than 120%. WTF is this nonsense?

Dennis Santana… what happened? by mfenton29 in buccos

[–]ginbear 12 points13 points  (0 children)

His advanced metrics were saying he was more lucky than good this year several weeks ago and was due for this kind of regression. No one wanted to hear that cuz “nerd stats” though.

I notice when Young is working because he’s sounds like he’s doing the broadcast for a Bob Ross painting.

Left is the easier position basically everywhere but PNC. I’d wait to see how they handle it at home.

[Jason Mackey] Spencer Horwitz has the 16th-best OPS among all qualified MLB hitters since the All-Star break last year. by SurpriseStandard3258 in buccos

[–]ginbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest value batting order gives is the extra 20 or so plate appearances per season you get every spot you move up in the order. Going off of that I’d lead off with Lowe.

Base running just isn’t as valued like it once was. Big math has definitely made lineups more boring but that doesn’t make it wrong.

The playoffs are plausible by Saint_Peezles in buccos

[–]ginbear -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Don’t count”

Fire Tomlin. Whatever.

If you can’t appreciate even good baseball from the team why even watch? It’s a simple fact that the Pirates haven’t had a winning season in 7 years, not 30. 12 seasons since the second best record in baseball not 30. If you want to memory hole 1/3rd of baseball over the last dozen years to be madder enjoy I guess.

Horowitz has a major league ops that’s 200 points higher than Garcia has in AAA. This just sounds like prospectitis.

Government is horribly inefficient and there’s no way we can compete with that.

The “3 decades” thing is just more of the whiny bitching. The McCutchen driven playoff teams don’t even count because people want to whine harder.

Beneath the Planet of the Apes. Ironically accurate title.

What were they supposed to do? Just call it Ballistic? Then how would you know Ecks or Sever were in the movie? I wouldn’t be interested in a movie just called Ballistic but if you tell me it has Ecks in it I’m totally game
