ive been reading Simon "Fuckboy" Schama's book Citizens and altho it makes the usual boring trendy attempts to deMarxise the historiography of the French Revolution the research is immensely detailed and i can't help but notice how the proto-jacobin mobs were driven as much by boredom as hunger

felix had a 1 hitter through 4, then in the fifth went single single, then threw 9 balls in a row (except for one swining strike) last night which walked two in a row, walking in the run, then a 2 rbi double tied the game up :\ rangers blew it open in the 8th n 9th against our wet paper bullpen but the offensive is rly coming together when they try

Yeah but the problem it's useful but not the end of discussion that so many of its evangelists make it out to be. More than any pro sport baseball is very developmental where players peek at different times (and sometimes reinvent their entire approach; a strikeout pitcher at 25 becomes a one-out groundball specialist at 35) and in those cases I think there's no control for variables possible.

It's also annoying in that the point of Moneyball was finding players undervalued by the rest of the league, while 15 years later every single team does those things, but the stat people still love the victim complex. Like because Vin Scully mentions game winning RBIs instead of someone's VORP and Mike Scioscia calls for a sacrifice you are somehow marginalized, ugh shut up

I also just really like stolen bases and bunts and 80s style baseball

I went to the blue jays-mets exhibition at stade olympique last month and there were 55,000 people for a meaningless game in a bad (but very outwardly attractive imo) stadium that sold out of concessions and the toilets flooded, it was the most fun i've had at a game since i was a kid
