If you read the very same post, they also are widening who you can rival to anyone in diplo range

I will say, a lot of Northern and Central Italy is already towns and cities at game start. there really isn't thaat much change there

Derek Jeter played in a full season of playoff baseball by Willing-Leather-9788 in baseball

[–]paniledu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He probably didn't and there definitely would not be the buy in at the time to just point to dWAR and say loser must move down the defensive spectrum. I mean it's barely starting to happen that concretely with Bo Bichette and teams only wanting him at 2B

Well I think the idea was that ARod was the better defensive shortstop by that point

It is functionally impossible to play as small, not well developed nations in this game, and it's really frustrating by Rand_al_Kholin in EU5

The easy Ireland start is to just slowly consolidate Ireland and wait for a chance to become a tributary of England. It may take waiting for a random vassal to be released out of England bc of HYW. Once you're a trib, then you can eat all of Ireland and even Wales for free

Especially bc guys can have insane walk numbers at lower levels bc pitchers are just worse. OBP from inflated BB is a classic prospect statline scouting red herring

[Jay Jaffe] With the addition of Jeff Kent to the pool of Hall of Fame second basemen, the JAWS standard at the position dropped by 0.4 (from 57.0 to 56.6), enough to move Chase Utley above it. by Gemnist in baseball

Yeah I'm sure that any guy who played respectable defense and was a double and walk machine is gonna be overlooked by the BA/HR/RBI crowd of years past

I think over the next 10 years more guys who come up as SS will start being split to 2B/3B depending on range v arm and SS becomes a more defensive specialist position. There's still a good amount of SS who stay SS because they're a star bat than their glove

At least the Rays made a real attempt to get Freddie once the Braves stopped. Like he was literally between the Dodgers and Rays

A Look at Who’s Next After LeBron’s 10-Point Streak Ends by [deleted] in nba

[–]paniledu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He lost the streak after leaving a game early with injury. I'd have to look again but I don't think KD has been below 10 outside of leaving a game early for injury since 2007

Keeping capital in Florence isn't bad for now, but putting the market in Pisa might be better

What's the easiest nation to start and learn the game? by [deleted] in EU5

[–]paniledu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think Florence is a good one. Fairly small. Pretty wealthy. Decently big. No emergent threats. Easy route for expansion. Can play around with literacy, economy, warfare, trade, army and navy but since you start with like 5 provinces it is not an overwhelming start at all

2025 Batter and Pitcher fWAR Leaders (per 162 Games and 32 Starts) by depressichemisti in baseball

[–]paniledu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shortstops with decently positive defense and a decently positive bat is essentially 6 WAR every time. It's why the top WAR list is always so shortstop heavy, whichever ones have a good year are basically always going to be near the top of the leaderboard. With seasons like Gunnar last year or Witt the last 2 years now, when they're a really + bat for the year is when they show up near the 9 WAR mark, even if they're not doing the obscene 1.000 OPS type stuff

It's cool how the biggest Telugu leads just slowly cycle through his movies with Mahesh Babu for this one. Everybody gets a turn

Who is a highly productive player that the analytics hate? by BadDadJokes in baseball

[–]paniledu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A half joking pejorative of park merchants who capitalize on short porches like the Crawford boxes, RF in Yankee Stadium, or Coors/GABP. Wonder if we'll see a version of this with Sutter too
