@TomCottonAR Then why does this article say he did condemn them: https://t.co/dOUzgZkLGM

[Scott Jacobs @NoPref]

@tangotiger Exactly. Batting average isn't utterly insane. Depends on what you're trying to achieve.

Want to provide an easy-to-comprehend stat for the masses that gives them a general sense of how good a hitter a player is? Batting average fits the bill.

Same argument for fans of DJIA.

[Scott Jacobs @NoPref]

@tangotiger And yet extremely highly correlated with S&P 500, which is 500 companies weighted by market cap.

@mikedawg9903 @DOBrienATL Old habits die hard.

[Scott Jacobs @NoPref]

@DOBrienATL DOB is already in mid-season form.

[Scott Jacobs @NoPref]

@DOBrienATL Shouldn't the Braves be starting these guys in AAA to manipulate their service time? Or is the plan to have them both spend time in AAA this season once Wright returns?

[Scott Jacobs @NoPref]

@DOBrienATL DOB is bickering with randos on Twitter again. A sign that we're getting close to the start of the season!

[Scott Jacobs @NoPref]

@DOBrienATL All of a sudden DOB is a SABR guy!

[Scott Jacobs @NoPref]

@DOBrienATL He's also making it very expensive for the Braves to keep him on next year's team.

@cmdpsu15 @DOBrienATL You tell 'em, Chris!

[Scott Jacobs @NoPref]

@cmdpsu15 @DOBrienATL Math is hard, I know. Read this: https://t.co/fPqXQJupfp

[Scott Jacobs @NoPref]

@s_trentyn @DOBrienATL DOB is not what you call a sabermetric guy.

[Scott Jacobs @NoPref]

@cmdpsu15 @DOBrienATL Hitting is a skill. Hitting with RISP is luck.

[Scott Jacobs @NoPref]

@DOBrienATL Then why is there low season-to-season correlation for this stat?

[Scott Jacobs @NoPref]

@DOBrienATL @tangotiger Please explain to this Braves beat writer how a team can get better at hitting with RISP.

@BernieSanders "If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire too" Rules for me and rules for thee.

@awillmakeit @EdMarkey And Markey's tweet is just another example of politicians trying to shift blame, as you said.

[Scott Jacobs @NoPref]

@awillmakeit @EdMarkey The left has had success with the narrative that "greedy corporations" and "billionaires" are the cause of all problems.

And the right has found success saying the left wants to steal your personal freedom.

None of that helps working families who are now getting crushed.

[Scott Jacobs @NoPref]

@awillmakeit @EdMarkey Or we can continue to just listen to Ed Markey whine about oil companies making a profit when oil prices skyrocket.

[Scott Jacobs @NoPref]

@awillmakeit @EdMarkey You're right that there is insufficient political will to get off fossil fuels, but the Norway model doesn't work here.

They rely heavily on hydropower, which is available due to their unique geography. As I said, we need an actual plan that works in the U.S.
