@JoeGoodberry @DPSOTS3 Honestly man, this is me. I'm proudly Puerto Rican and I enjoyed it. But I realize that the KNOW guys like us are gonna watch this game. They want others to tune in too. That makes sense!

I didn't know a single song and I don't speak spanish but I thought the production was pretty cool.
So I was entertained.

So what did you think of the halftime show?

@Jared_Carrabis As a non-reds fan I would recommend it. I have always enjoyed that stadium thoroughly.

This reflects on your friend group more than it reflects on the experience of being a parent. Being a parent is the greatest blessing the Lord has brought into our marriage other than my wife herself.

@DWStraka49 Rare disagree. As a baseball purist I don't really love the Bananas schtick. But my wife loves it and it gets her more interested in watching baseball. So I'm a fan

@drivelinekyle trick question: back in my day, they just measured the size of the ammo, not how fast it shoots

The luddites have figured out how to use the free version of ChatGPT and tell it: "I don't agree with bat speed. Take this copy/paste block from Fangraphs and tell them why it is about being square and [insert my ideas] instead of bat speed."
Ironic.

This schtick is lazy. Recently two players have gone directly from Japan to LA. Others have gone BOS, CHI, LAA, even ATH. Even if it WERE true could you blame them for wanting A) play on the closer coast to home and B) play with the greatest icon their home country has even had?

This gimmick is tiring we all know where he’s going

@thebengalorian Agreed. I'm mostly frustrated that this is gonna be the justification for making Zero changes.

Thanks to those who engaged this post. A few observations:
1. About half the disagreement comes from Eastern Orthodox, and the other from Roman Catholics. And Eastern Orthodoxy is extremely similar to others like Oriental Orthodoxy. This is telling. If you think the early church actually *does* look like just one church today, there simply is no clear winner. There is no way around this. And it's an intolerable burden to place on the private judgment of those discerning, given the alleged stakes of getting it wrong.
2. Being Protestant means you can be honest with the messiness of church history. You don't have to cherry-pick the data (whether pictures of much later frescoed or mosaicked interiors or quotes about later-developed practice or theology). You can acknowledge the massive sea-change of the 4th century (Constantine + Augustine), and how different the 2nd-3rd centuries are. For Protestants, church history is a fascinating trail you can follow wherever it leads, not a yard you have to protect from intruders.
3. The broader need is a way to distinguish what is essential vs. what is accidental in the church. For Protestants, what defines the church is simply the gospel of Jesus Christ, expressed in word and sacrament. Other external structures of the church, important as they are, are not essential. This is why we see the church as subsisting in multiple institutions, and why we can recognize the true church in expressions that look as diverse as 2nd century Alexandria, 7th century Britain, 17th century India, or contemporary Nigeria. Churches in these places can look vastly different, but they are all one church because they all have the one and same Jesus.

The early church did not look Protestant. It also did not look Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox. The early church looked like the early church: imperial, diverse, foreign, changing, harsh, beautiful, and profound. It is a tradition we all relate to—but no single church today owns.

@TheWARmonger_ @PCA_IS_HIM Hey no worries, thanks for the update man! Love the content 🤙
English

@keanukeychain @PCA_IS_HIM Sorry, missed this, on vacation.
I don’t see it, which suggests another OF had a higher probability.
English

@TheWARmonger_ respectfully requesting the catch probability for PCA on Andujar's 5th inning double just now (I know it won't be available till later just curious when it is)
English

@PCA_IS_HIM @TheWARmonger_ I completely agree. The fact that he was even in the vicinity was surprising to me, I just know that the TV angles can make it deceptive so it had me curious
English

@keanukeychain @TheWARmonger_ Its going to be pretty low looked like he had a great jump on it

Not enough people talk about Vlad Guerrero

• Wore #27 for his entire career
• Had 200 hits 4x, 100 RBI 10x
• 34 HR, 118 RBI, 74 K per 162
• Tremendous arm in RF
• Tied with Kirby Puckett for highest career BA by a right-handed hitter since WW2
