I wrote about Eric Swalwell, why he's been abandoned so quickly, why a political class that surely knew about his antics didn't do anything about it and continued to support him, and what that says about accountability in America. prospect.org/2026/04/12/eri…

So I watched Moneyball for the 1st time yesterday. Tejada in it for a second. Pitt says Chavez’s name. You see Hudson’s jersey. And Zito is in clubhouse. But Tejada won MVP and Zito won Cy Young and the movie focused on Hatteberg and Justice? Pena was hitting .218 when traded

City went and spent £100m in January to buy two of the best players in the league to win them another title when they are still awaiting punishment for cheating 115 times. Premier League is a shambles.

Reminder Orwell and Huxley went to the same high school. The guys who wrote 1984 and A Brave New World went to the same high school. And neither is the most famous guy to go there.

@maxtmcc You see St. James? That’s the football stadium. That’s all you really need to know about why it’s like this.

@BreannaMorello Children yes. But she had to know why the first marriage didn’t work and she had to know what else was up.

@wtflanksteak The Power Broker was released in 1974. Seems like they should have gotten it by now.

once the rest of the world accepts that so much of US city planning and suburbs is historically based on rich white people not wanting to live near poor ppl and/or people of color (esp. black people), so much of how this country operates will make sense to you. please read a book

Americans… this is a good faith question. I’m not baiting or trolling. Why are you so scared of condos and walkable cities? Does not having to drive for your groceries freak you out? What about it makes you uncomfortable? Please be honest.

If it was so well known, and I have no doubt it was, Eric probably didn’t become more subtle after gaining power, why did no one bring it up before now?

It's been a pretty open secret in D.C. for years that Eric Swalwell is a serial womanizer. It's crossed my mind that every woman in D.C. may have no more than 3 degrees of separation: being hit on by him, knowing a woman who's been hit on by him, or knowing someone who knows a woman who's been hit on by him. I heard my firsthand "Swalwell hit on me" anecdote back in 2019; I have heard about half a dozen since. Some of you will respond that simply hitting on a woman is not harassment. In many cases, that's true. In many cases, it's not -- such as when she's his employee or there's some other kind of inappropriate power imbalance: an intern or staffer at a conference, an intern or staffer on the Hill, an intern or staffer in just about every work context that's obvious. Regardless, the sheer scale of Swalwell hitting on women in D.C., inappropriately or not, is pretty staggering. I don't know which number an elected official has to reach before it's cause for concern, but I do estimate that Swalwell may have surpassed that number by a few hundred (if not by a few thousand). I'm not kidding. This is all to say that Swalwell was pretty widely known as a serial womanizer years ago, and if you're using a bit of common sense here, you can make a reasonable distinction between a grown man who's an inelegant horndog but still acting ethically and a grown man who treats women like disposable collectibles and leverages his position of power to "collect" them. Swalwell is the latter. I do believe the women who came forward this week, and so should you. And I believe they're particularly courageous in coming forward while knowing they would be slandered for their timing. "They're doing this when Swalwell is running for Governor of California? Curious timing!" No, dumbass, it's not curious at all. They don't want to see a man who sexually harassed and/or raped them to be the next Governor of California. They deserve our praise.

If you give the pitcher the ball that skims the zone on both sides the strike zone is no longer 17 inches wide, it is effectively *22.8* inches wide. I’m sorry that so many of you cannot understand this, but I wouldn’t expect you to—you spend too much time on reddit and watching anime. All of you meme accounts think that you look up the rule from the handbook that I have memorized and think that because of that you are learned on baseball, but you are wrong. That is NOT how it was called for the last decade-plus. No umpire was gifting a pitcher both sides off the plate. None of that even matters though, there is a fundamental issue present when, for example, an umpire who has a bit of a tight-inside zone calls a "strike" on a pitch that was probably too far in an out of the zone but it goes unchallenged, because it is early in the count and the player cannot risk the chance that he was wrong for a one or two strike pitch (even though he wasn't). These pitches establish the zone, both inside and out. Then later in the same at-bat, a pitch on the far outside nicks the zone (as the one in the original post did), it is called a ball due to the established zone, and ABS flips it. This is unreasonable to me, and it is unreasonable expectation. This is a fair, accurate, and just criticism of a system that is far from perfect.
Ryan M. Spaeder@theaceofspaeder

You cannot give, in essence, an entire baseball outside of the zone, safe for a pubic hair, on both sides. That is my biggest problem. Still not addressing anymore meme accounts (directly). You are in timeout until 0800 EST tomorrow.

@baseball_cards The thing about Ted Williams is that he may have had the best eyesight in history. That doesn’t change against today’s pitchers

With all due respect, I have to disagree here, specifically with the discussion point that Ted Williams wouldn’t do well against today’s pitchers. If you’re going to put Ted up against Skenes, you have to give Ted all the resources of today’s game. Give him the physical training. Give him the nutrition. Give him the private plane. Give him all the doctors and sports medicine today’s hitter have. Starting when he’s 12. He keeps his hands, eyes and mechanics. Or Put Skenes on a 1941 regiment. No nutrition info. Teammates smoking on the bus and train. Sports medicine doesn’t exist. He has to go 8 in most games and complete many. He keeps his control and mechanics. I say 1941 Williams destroys 1941 Skenes and 2026 Williams handles 2026 Skenes at a time.333 pace.

Unpopular opinion: hitters in Major League Baseball have never been better. I don’t care if the league is hitting .233. The average pitcher today is magnitudes filthier when compared to 30, 40, 50 years ago. Even bottom tier arms are nasty. Drop today’s .240 hitter into 1990 and he’s hitting .300. Drop him into 1960 and he’s batting .350. If Ted Williams faced guys like Skenes, Skubal, McLean, Mason Miller, etc, etc, day in and day out, I don't think he'd be a .300 hitter. Batting averages didn’t fall off because hitters went downhill. They fell because pitching turned into a video game with the sliders all the way on max. Today, guys have a lifetime of specialized training to dominate one or six innings at a time. Back then, some of these dudes would pitch 9 innings on Sunday then have to clock in for their shift at the steel mill Monday morning.
