@AllAcesCards Plus, as much as I love and prioritize peak and rate, volume still does count. And Verlander currently has a 1400 ip gap on Sale.
English
@AllAcesCards Absolutely, and I love peak/rate as much as anyone (I had deGrom in my smaller HoF even before his Ranger resurgence), but Sale would have to win another Cy after that to match Justin’s total (and my system gives Verlander 4, not 3).
English
When it’s all said and done, which active starting pitcher will have had the greatest pitching career?
1) Verlander
2) Scherzer
3) Sale
4) Cole
5) deGrom
6) Skubal
7) Skenes
8) Ohtani
9) someone else (who?)

@TheJoeMarino @AaronQuinn716 Don’t make us ask @JeremyWGR to bring the snark cannon to the next Bills Squad episode.
English
@AaronQuinn716 You should become harder to annoy, less snarky, and more serious.

Added a disclaimer to my profile for those who are mad at the way I use my own social media account.
If I’m not for you, you don’t have to tell me. You can just unfollow, mute, or block. 🤣

@minakimes Thank you! I yell at Final Jeopardy wagers all the time for failing to use optimal game theory strategy, especially from 2nd place and this was the perfect encapsulation.
English
Some folks have asked me to explain my wagering strategy in Celebrity Jeopardy so here it is…how I won despite being wrong 😭
English
@AlZeidenfeld He had a disastrous Opening Day start (5 ER in .2 ip). He’s allowed 6 ER total in his next 8 starts (49.1 ip). Since that first start:
1.10 ERA
.527 WHIP
11:1 K:BB

I’m about to be 53 years old. I’ve watched baseball my entire life.
I’ve NEVER seen a pitcher as good as Paul Skenes and he’s only 23.

@RotoSurgeon This tweet has been very popular in WNY circles, and if it comes true (check the date), I have no doubt your video will come to fruition:
Brayton J. Wilson@BraytonJWilson
Had a guy, who called himself a psychic, call me three times today. He told me that the #Bills will win the Super Bowl in 2027, and the #Sabres will win the Stanley Cup in 2026. Take that for what it’s worth.

@AllAcesCards @the27guy Off the top of my head (without checking one-by-one off my list), I’d go Artis Gilmore (if including ABA), and then like Manu Ginobili, Draymond Green and Sidney Moncrief.
English
It’s amazing the percentage of the replies that don’t actually understand how to evaluate pitching.
(The answer is true).

True or False: You rank Clayton Kershaw higher than Nolan Ryan among the greatest players in MLB history.

@Wolfhound89 @The_Weed_Hottie @TeamTrump47 Why would they hate you in Buffalo for liking blue cheese? Buffalo is almost 100% pro-blue cheese.
English
@The_Weed_Hottie @TeamTrump47 Love it with blue cheese. They hated me in Buffalo.

Unpopular opinion: If you’re still dipping your wings in ranch, we can't be friends. 😤 It’s homemade Blue Cheese or nothing! 🧀
These honey lemon pepper wings are absolute art. 🎨🍋 Where do you stand on the dip? 👇

@Counterchalk @AlZeidenfeld It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

@AlZeidenfeld Yahoo and Hotmail? Psh. That's what kids used. I had a NetZero email and used Altavista as a search engine. I had a zip drive on my IBM computer and used Windows 3.1. I played text-based games like Zork.
Yahoo? Don't make me laugh.

You’re not going to believe this but they used to send us 30 hours of internet, through the mail, on a compact disc.

If your first email ended in @ yahoo, @ hotmail, or @ msn… you have seniority on the internet.

@herprettybones @FastbreakHoops5 When I ran the test on myself, my frame was 23% bigger than normal.
The only time I ever was in the “normal” range without the frame size adjustment was when I was wresting in high school, and even then, just barely.
English
@herprettybones @FastbreakHoops5 I’m old enough to remember when BMI accounted for frame size (I’m not fat, I’m big-boned - although both apply now for me).
A “large” frame was considered 10% bigger than normal, and they had a simple test with a measuring tape to determine how big your frame was.

As a Bills and Spurs fan, this hits a little too close to the nose.
Daire Carragher@DaireCarragher
Already being the NFL version of Spurs and tempting fate even more by building Spurs stadium is a really bold strategy.

@BenjaminSolak Counterpoint: Frankie Frisch and the Veteran’s Committee under his chairmanship for the Baseball HoF - several underserving players who were his friends became HoFers.
English
Ex players routinely have awful takes. I (extremely biased) think we need desperately need more non-players in current coverage.
For legacy/Hall talk? Players are much better equipped imo.
Krystle Noel@KrystleNoel1128
@BenjaminSolak Meh. I’ve see some of the takes of former players.
English
I don’t hate this take at all. The players don’t take things like the Top-100 seriously but they care deeply about the Hall.
