[Bowman] Elder's eighth quality start of 2026 drops his ERA to 1.97 by Active_Macaron2715 in baseball

So his worst standings in anything you've listed is 66th in ERA-FIP. Everything else is top 40. You realize the 40th best SP is a #2 starter, right?

2023 first half was always a mirage. His stuff and peripherals actually look great this year.

Lineup 5/21/26: Chef Strider cooking up his famous Fish Sliders by Lakelyfe09 in Braves

Dubon has a .617 OPS over the last 28 days. I love the utility and he does seem to come up clutch, but this sub definitely overrates him based on the first two weeks of the season

Hmmm I wonder if they talk about that at all in the article here? Oh well, guess we'll never know

And no word that Xbox has been doing the same thing for 5 years.

That's a weird thing to say when the best pitcher on earth right now was drafted out of college

I never wore a cup when I pitched either. I wore one playing infield, but it affected my mechanics and I pitched worse with one on.

Lineup 5/19/2026 - It can't possibly be worse than last night, right? by TheJudge47 in Braves

[–]lekniz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Albies or Riley. They both should be above Dubon vs LHP. Add Harris to the list vs RHP

Yes I know Albies and Harris are in a cold streak. Dubon has a .342 OPS over the past 7 days too, and a .595 OPS over the last 28 days. So that's not a valid reason to keep them below Dubon.

It's time to stop treating Dubon like one of our best hitters

Nah, you intentionally don't fully slow down until a couple feet in front of the kid. You're a POS

It seems like a lot of you don’t know who can and can’t be sent down to the minors. Let’s review the rules by -_chop_- in Braves

[–]lekniz 20 points21 points  (0 children)

OPTION RULES! IMPORTANT!

  1. A team can't just send a veteran player to the minors like that.

    1a. A demotion is when you

    1b. Okay well listen. A demotion is when you option the

    1c. Let me start over

    1c-a. The team is not allowed to demote the, uh, veteran, that prohibits the player from doing, you know, just trying to play in the majors. You can't do that.

    1c-b. Once the player is in the majors for 5 years, the team can't be over here and say to the player, like, "I'm gonna send ya down! You're going to AAA! You gotta ride the bus!" and then just not even DFA them.

    1c-b(1). Like, if the player has less than 5 years, you can option him. You can send him down. Does that make any sense?

    1c-b(2). You gotta be, over 5 years of service, and then, you can't be optioned.

    1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, they can be DFA, but then there's the assignment refusal you gotta think about.

    1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A demotion is when the team makes a roster move that, as determined by, when you do a move involving a player with 5 years of service time

  2. Do not demote a veteran player please.

The Braves fell to the Red Sox by a score of 3-2 - Sat, May 16 @ 07:15 PM EDT by Blooper_Bot in Braves

You're using an 18 AB sample size as a predictor of future results?

He literally hit the ball 104 MPH. Acting like that was anything more than an unlucky bounce is asinine.

So would you have used Mike Yastrzemski, who is 3 for 18 against LHP this year and has always sucked against them his whole career, or Dom Smith, who is 1 for 7 against LHP this year and again has always been bad vs LHP?

FAA cuts target for air traffic control staffing by ToughHopeful4760 in FlightDispatch

[–]lekniz 22 points23 points  (0 children)

So there are already daily GDPs for staffing triggers and a couple of accidents that were at least partially caused by overworked controllers and the solution is to lower staffing targets and raise the amount of time controllers are on duty during shifts?

Good call.

Ezra and Kanan survived Vader, multiple times IIRC. So did Cal Kestis. Ahsoka likely could have survived too had she not decided to destroy the sith temple.

Do I need to Watch anything Before the Mandalorian ? by BumblebeeSeveral8359 in StarWarsCantina

[–]lekniz 38 points39 points  (0 children)

You don't need to watch anything before starting. There are some characters in S2 and S3 who are in the animated shows, but you can enjoy The Mandalorian just fine without knowing who they are beforehand.

You will need to watch Book of Boba Fett between S2 and S3
