@CodifyBaseball And that wasn’t even the best part about his game. He was also an incredible hitter. A lot of the steals were just stat padding.

Please understand that Rickey Henderson stole 1,406 bases during his big league career and that no active player is within 1,000 of that total.

@KeruboSk It takes away your appetite for everything. No desire whatsoever. It has a myriad of side effects. All of those things you mentioned can be managed with discipline and willpower.

Ozempic was designed for diabetes. Then it became the biggest weight loss drug in history. Now a massive new study shows it also significantly reduces depression, anxiety, and addiction risk. One drug. Three completely different conditions. Science is barely keeping up with what GLP-1s are doing The study found that people taking semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy) saw major drops in depression and anxiety alongside the weight loss effects everyone already knew about. It also showed reduced risk of substance use disorders. A weight loss drug that may help treat addiction. Nobody predicted that.

@RobertStock6 @UmpireAuditor And don’t forget the missed calls that the players don’t challenge. We blame the ump but the players can’t tell what a strike is either.

ABS makes umpires look really good when the players challenge and get it wrong. But it’s more popular to show clips of umps messing up than players. @UmpireAuditor maybe time for a PlayerAuditor account too? Can show some love for the good umpire calls too.
Credible Gadfly@CredibleGadfly

@UmpireAuditor I haven't followed the development of ABS closely, but it is mind-blowing that the umpire's union allowed this concession. I think it helps the game, but sheesh does it make umps look bad.

Twice as many young women than young men want to leave the US This is interesting, because more young women than young men: 1. Have college degrees 2. Own homes

The NBA is the only sport that gets judged by its worst teams lol No one is bitching about the Twins Rays game yesterday being boring, they’re talking about Konnor Griffin No one cares that Penn state vs northwestern hoops sucks, everyone is pumped for Michigan vs Arizona

Friday's NBA games were decided by an average of 24.4 points. That's the largest average margin of victory on a day with at least 8 games in NBA history.

@TheFrankIsola The issue with the NBA is easily fixable incentives to play and win, not the number of teams.

California banned dog sales in pet stores. The goal: Stop puppy mills. Did it work? No. Instead, online pet scams went UP. Puppy prohibition is a failure. Stossel TV's president @mikedricci discovered NY's version when he tried to buy a dog:

competition is not about destroying rivals. it is a discovery process that reveals consumer preferences. through competitive experimentation, entrepreneurs learn what society values most, allocating resources accordingly

@DutchRojas Just because something is called nonprofit doesn’t mean there aren’t people making a lot of money off of it. Those people just aren’t shareholders.

When a nonprofit hospital sues a patient over a $4,000 bill and no AG objects, “nonprofit” is just a tax strategy.

the most frustrating thing about every proposed republican cut to social programs is it saves literally no money in the conext of total federal spending. just destroying basic needs for almost nothing

@theficouple A $7 coffee every day for 40 years is $100,000. Why is that less bad than $40k for a wedding?

Things more dangerous than $7 coffees: - $40,000 wedding ($5,000/hr party) - $80,000 degree that gets you a $50,000/yr job - $40,000 car loan because you "earned it" - $2,000/mo apartments to flex for friends ...Thats why 80% of people are broke.

@ernestdove In his first at bat I was thinking he seemed to be standing really far from the plate again and they were just pitching him outside outside and then he proved that I have no idea what I’m talking about. The second HR pitch was definitely a mistake though - way too much plate.

Francisco Alvarez sure does seem to be working harder than ever to have more patience at plate. Have to keep believing that all star Alvarez is possibly looming here. These random pass balls obviously need to get figured out too in all honesty to keep things fair.
