@thescottbarber Swans are white. Or are we going to cast a black swan

I firmly believe they should only cast actresses who were born from an egg after Zeus transformed himself into a swan to play Helen of Troy. Anything else is woke.

@NateRoper_ His command was not good. He was behind in the count continuously even when he didn't walk people

Notable stuff improvements from Cabrera tonight! His curveball in particular was vastly improved, featuring more two-plane movement AND was thrown ~1 mph harder. The results didn't follow, but I thought his command was solid. Only had two major mistakes (changeups to Montgomery and Romo), but also lost velo and control in the 5th.

@jacobzanolla Jordan Wicks isn't good. One decent start at Iowa doesn't change that essential fact

Jordan Wicks is back? 👀 Could be huge for the major league squad

@agraybee No one has "gone all in" on anything. If you don't understand why some people don't want the greatest Greek warrior of myth to be trans or the most beautiful Greek woman of myth to be sub-Saharan African you are either dense or dishonest

The Iliad does have a trad hero in Hector, the warrior-patriot-family man. But the right has gone all in on Achilles, a bisexual with histrionic personality disorder.

@SonnyBunch To the people citing Heath Ledger, that was for a completely different reason: was he a good enough actor to play an iconic role? This is just swapping Greeks out for Africans. Different stuff. Sunny can explain it: x.com/EndWokeness/st…

Every time Christopher Nolan releases a movie a different group of morons loses their mind about something they see in the trailers.

@GiancarloSopo Sunny agrees with you. In fact, all Greeks (myth or real) should be played by black actors: x.com/EndWokeness/st…

Maybe Nolan's Odyssey will be great. Maybe it'll be a disaster. Either way, I trust these two more than the performative outrage of a thousand grifters. A political movement that outsources cultural taste to the latter deserves to lose the culture.

@GiancarloSopo Huh? I'm not sure the intent of your initial post. These two basically say he can interpret things how he wants. Ok? What does that prove? You posted it like it was a conversation ender when these two basically said nothing and need some sun

@Generation4580 I know. You would rather have your life run by degenerate grifters. Sad.

@micsolana He's made a couple of bad movies - Tenet and the final Batman movie

ok we’ve had our fun but the truth is nolan doesn’t make bad movies. i’ll be seated.

@rkylesmith You are doing the meme about not understanding things

Reminder that when Christopher Nolan cast Heath Ledger as the Joker, every film bro was outraged. "What? That weak-sauce Aussie pretty boy? He sucks!"

@KenGardner11 You liked Tenet?

I couldn't care less about which actors and actresses are playing which roles in The Odyssey. We are getting a new Christopher Nolan movie. It's almost the equivalent of getting a new Beethoven symphony. Enjoy it! Lighten up.

@GiancarloSopo How can you expect someone to follow Homer's moral vision when their own includes the "modern message" of Hollywood?

If you're a conservative—not to be confused with a reactionary grifter—the main question about Nolan's Odyssey that should concern you is whether the film is faithful to Homer's moral vision of homecoming. That's it. Everything else makes for a dumber conservatism.

@EWErickson Erick is going to drive his Jaguar to the theater and chug a Bud Light before he goes in to show us chuds. Absolutely no one is stopping you from watching the films. If you don't get why race swapping characters is an issue then you just don't get it

Sorry y'all, but it is Christopher Nolan. I'll go see the Odyssey and probably enjoy it because it is Christopher Nolan, and I'm going to go into this assuming the guy who brought us Interstellar and the Dark Knight knows what he is doing better than Twitter.

@KentMurphy I remember because Chan Ho Park was on my fantasy team

The odds of someone hitting two grand slams in the same inning is basically 1 in 75869795847. In ‘99 Fernando Tatis Sr. did it. He’s the only one in baseball history to ever accomplish this feat

@onemillioncubs bWAR is a junk stat that wildly overvalues defense

May 11.

@GettheSave9th I think we see Zeferjahn thrive - look at his Statcast page. But you are correct to label him Red until he gets a couple more Saves under his belt

Monday's Closer Update⚾️ The 9th inning grind never ends Green/Yellow/Red format Lucas Erceg🟢(Estévez threat gone for now) Tanner Scott🟡 Gus Varland🔴 David Bednar🟢(You people are sick) Kenley Jansen🟡 Graham Ashcraft🔴 Andrés Muñoz🟢 (I hate it here) Rico Garcia🟡(Helsley likely back in 7-10) Yoendrys Gomez🔴 Bryan Baker🟢 Gregory Soto🟡 Jack Perkins🔴(Times change quick but hold) Ryan Zeferjahn🔴 Bryan King🔴(Two weeks until Hader) Caleb Kilian🔴 Those in red may not have the job. Those in yellow have some warning signs. Those in green are safe but the fanbases are crazy What did I get right/wrong? #FantasyBaseball #Closers #Bullpens #Mr9thInning #MLB

@CodifyBaseball bWAR is a junk stat

a couple of 1.8 WAR guys

@Andrew_FBB Harsh on Jensen

Still early but I’m tracking my losses on players I said to buy this season: Losses: Eury Perez Carter Jensen Roman Anthony Emmet Sheehan Luis Robert Jr. Still confident in Roman and Jensen, I was HIGH on them. They will likely find their way off this list.

@EthicalHoopz @jayhaykid Even the creators of bWAR admit its flaws - that's why everyone uses fWAR. If I come out with a gWAR stat that says Neifi Perez was the greatest player of all-time are you just going to blindly believe it?

@Generation4580 @jayhaykid You’re welcome to make a generation4580WAR that doesn’t wildly inflate anything whenever you’d like. Nobody is stopping you

Two players who have been worth exactly 1.5 bWAR so far this season (entering Friday): Ben Rice: 1.157 OPS Pete Crow-Armstrong: .669 OPS

@stlcubsfan1 @CO_Koogies @jayhaykid By bWAR Nico was a Top 10 overall player in baseball last year. He was not paid anywhere close to that way. $140 Millino isn't what it used to be

@Generation4580 @CO_Koogies @jayhaykid Cubs just did for Nico
