That’s the best Ime could draw up?

I love that no matter what happens here, the refs were wrong

My brain refuses to accept Aaron Wiggins is actually a good player despite plenty of evidence proving it

Primetime FVV vs SGA would’ve been my exact type of hoops 💔

Some things you’d never realize how big a difference they make until they happen, holy fuck NBC is doing such a good job of building up the atmosphere

Showing the player introductions already makes this game feel way more important

The low cut suit vest looks really weird when you’re 6’7” 150

My opinion on how NBC/Peacock present basketball games will heavily depend on how consistently close they are to starting games on time

For what it’s worth, I don’t actually know how useful it is to compare two players from different eras. I mostly made it just because I hate how “Total Bases” doesn’t count all the bases you get and then one thing led to another

Best I can do is tell you league average was around .513 for qualified hitters this year and show you this list of other seasons that I was interested in

dɛriɛn ʤi @dizzlevernetti.bsky.social · 22h

Oh by all means, feel free. I built out a whole excel doc full of stuff if you want to poke around with any of those numbers too (I have way too much free time) 1drv.ms/x/c/5bb6960a...

Assign whatever level of importance you feel is appropriate with this information:

If you take Total Bases + Walks + Stolen Bases (basically every base you "earn" on offense) and divide it by plate appearances, the best Ohtani season would be the 11th best Bonds season

Barry Bonds career stats. The last column is (Total Bases + BB + IBB + HBP + SB) / Plate appearances

Shohei Ohtani career stats. The last column is (Total Bases + BB + IBB + HBP + SB) / Plate appearances

Very much rooting against the two t-shirt guys behind home plate

As far as at bats go, that was one of the more predictable “he’s totally gonna homer here” ones

OCTUBRE RODRIGUEZ

That said, I’d totally believe Naylor if he said he didn’t even realize he jumped. It’s one of those weird moments where your mind is kinda in between things

dɛriɛn ʤi @dizzlevernetti.bsky.social · 1d

You kinda have to call interference there otherwise you just shouldn’t have the rule

Micah Parsons legit looks like a lion attacking a gazelle

Bravo to whoever drew up that mini hook and ladder what a play design

Spencer Rattler is NOT good

Villa are so back

dɛriɛn ʤi @dizzlevernetti.bsky.social · 3d

Super neat how they shut down the USA Network app to elicit more Peacock subscriptions but won’t put the thing from USA Network I want to watch on Peacock anyways, so now I’m forced to watch Villa on my laptop

Very good business model it it makes it all the better that Villa just conceded

Brewers goals this offseason (no order):

1. Figure out what Garrett Mitchell is
2. Teach Yelich to lift the ball again
3a. Put a shock collar on Joey and throw him low sliders for 3 months straight
3b. Help Mona do whatever it takes to get that starting spot
4. Have Miz take dance classes

Shohei Ohtani can’t hurt me nearly as much as Kyle Kuzma can and will
