With the news that Gio Reyna is in for the World Cup, I'll share this clip from my convo with the director of the HBO doc "U.S. Against the World."
The Reyna-Berhalter story from Qatar and aftermatch was left out of the series.
I asked Rand Getlin why - he had good reasons 👇

@CovertheCorner If you can't figure out why those metrics aren't being used in the minors, I can't help you. It's about as logical as it gets.
English
@thinkkaz And I said to you before, show me what data to use. And show me the proof that teams are not looking at numbers very similar to wRC+ and wOBA to evaluate players
English
Now, now, it's still a small sample size. @thinkkaz will be right on Bazzana if you just give him enough time
E@BazzanaSavant
Gonna end up with a regular all-star after half this fanbase spent a full year saying he was a bust
English
@CovertheCorner As I said, you have no idea how, or when to use the data. Most teams no longer use that data for the minor leagues.
English
@thinkkaz He had a 137 wRC+ with a .384 wOBA in his time in the minors.
English
@CovertheCorner Again, the skills he has displayed for the past 2 years haven't been good, and that is an actual sample size.
English
@thinkkaz *goggle
Bazzana has been up for a month. Everything is SSS. But, the good things he is doing reflect the skills he has displayed as a professional for the past 2 years.
English
@CovertheCorner That's the point. That's the small sample size. You're literally proving my point. I need for you to take a deep breath & try to take the goggles off. I promise, you'll sound smarter for it, at least to the people who aren't goglle wearers.
English
@thinkkaz Taking the previous three games where he and the team faced Mize, Sanchez and Wheeler to try to prove some point is pretty wild.
English
@CovertheCorner This is the problem with the people who write / talk about the Guardians - they know all the definitions of the data, but have no idea how to apply it.
English
@thinkkaz Ironically, from a survey of your timeline, data/critical analysis makes both of us aligned on a LOT of things, despite me being a stuck-in-Ohio-dullard.
Can't figure out why you are unable to actually look at Bazzana's data and see why he is good & likely to stay good
English
@WorldWideWob You haven't won anything of consequence. & you love small sample sizes.

Mike Pompeo has no idea what the fuck he’s talking about. He should shut his stupid mouth and leave the real work to the professionals. He’s not read into anything that’s happening, so how would he know.

The deal being floated with Iran seems straight out of the Wendy Sherman-Robert Malley-Ben Rhodes playbook: Pay the IRGC to build a WMD program and terrorize the world. Not remotely America First. It’s straightforward: Open the damned strait. Deny Iran access to money. Take out enough Iranian capability so it cannot threaten our allies in the region. Overdue. Let’s go.
English
@SamQuinnCBS That's like seven jobs ago, and multiple firings, for Mike Brown. & the team is completely different. It wouldn't make sense to hear much about it. Be smarter.

#ad SZN 1 is done but still passing on blessings, sending fellow New Yorker GMC Gary S. to #SBLX in San Fran thanks to @USAA & @AmericanLegion. Gary spent 25+ years in the Navy. Proud to help honor his service 🏈🇺🇸 #SaluteToService

@Pro__Trading When Dart is cheering for a orange pedophile coward, that’s what you get.
English
Democrats are crying over Jaxson Dart, but had no problem with Steve Kerr going on political diatribes for the last 5 years after the games.
English
@coachbrucepearl You're a piece of sh** & an awful human. But congrats, you are a cuck to the orange pedophile coward.

Ive been privileged to spend nearly two decades coaching in the SEC. Our student athletes are beloved, supported and challenged to be great!
Im disappointed you are using your platform to perpetuate hate and conspiracy rather than improving education 4 all nypost.com/2026/05/19/us-…

Wow. They’re openly defending the deletion of DOJ records about a man accused in a child solicitation case who assaulted police on January 6. Truly the Epstein administration.

You could call what's happening a full on white washing of J6 but that's not right because they're actively helping the rioters not just pasting over what they did

Nothing “quiet” about it.
We are proud to reverse the DOJ’s weaponization under the Biden administration. We will do everything in our power to make whole those who were persecuted for political purposes. This includes stripping DOJ’s website of partisan propaganda.
Meryl Kornfield@MerylKornfield
The Trump admin is quietly deleting info about the Capitol attack from the DOJ website as it prepares to give funds to J6ers. This week, DOJ deleted a press release about one man with an ongoing child solicitation case who came to the Capitol with bear spray. Before and after:

NEW: The tobacco company Reynolds American donated $5M to the Trump-backed super PAC MAGA Inc. on 4/30/2026.
8 days later, the Trump administration rolled out a new policy that could be lucrative for Reynolds by allowing it to begin selling flavored vapes nytimes.com/2026/05/20/us/…

In the middle of the lunch, Trump called RFK Jr and Dr. Oz and told them he wanted the regulation lifted. Trump’s FDA Commissioner then resigned in protest. Things like this are happening every day. RFK Jr is a total fraud.
