@enosarris @RedsInFour And via risk management for teams. No more big bonuses for HS pitchers that are the riskiest demographic. Instead they get the survivors who made it through at least some college healthy.

@Brendan_F_Wendt @CathyYoung63 Dude also went on the job market when his PhD advisor had a major fraud scandal crash down on him. With at least one of Colin’s main papers getting retracted as part of that. And looked up EEB faculty at Cornell where he sued. 2/5 Asst Profs are white dudes…

@billjamesonline @largebill68 Sure, but how many already at a HOF level? It’s easier if starting at a lower point. It’s also about likelihood in my mind. While there are many examples of players better after 30 vs before, it’s still a minority of all players. I’d root for it, but not bet on it.

@JamesMHyman @drugmonkeyblog Hmmm, does that count as 33% of a solo first authorship? Do 2 co-firsts each have 50% of a first authorship?

@mike_petriello Pretty sure The Main Thing is to score more than the other doods.

My guess is the driving factor is Republicans getting married younger and having kids earlier in life.

I know this is in jest, but the jump from AAA to MLB is huge right now. Lots of top prospects have struggled and need a lot of time to adjust. If a player is not being challenged, just gotta give them MLB at bats and be patient with them.

[Sam @TreIindor20]

Haven’t seen a true AAAA player like this in a long time

@Joes_Picks @TreIindor20 Was looking for this. The mayor of Salt Lake City.

@45halos @billjamesonline I remember Tyler Colvin getting hospitalized after a shard punctured his chest.

@craigcalcaterra @VivekGRamaswamy Bullies are the biggest whiners when someone punches them back.

@asymmetricinfo This is what happens when a party alienates its intellectuals and normies.

@reinhardtgstein @craigcalcaterra Nope, not at all. Just FWDAOTI

Is pretending to not know that biracial people exist a winning political strategy?

@reinhardtgstein @craigcalcaterra Got it. You think she doesn’t act Black enough. Totally a non-racist and non-weird thing to espouse.

[A Salty Scientist @ScientistSalty]

@TweetingBlass @craigcalcaterra This is a totally hinged and not weird reaction.

@HaegarrNC @tjsingletonjr @DenisonBarbs @atrupar You’re the one leaning hard into weird new Birtherism. But I’m sure you would have been marching with John Lewis.

[A Salty Scientist @ScientistSalty]

@reinhardtgstein @craigcalcaterra Black people in Jamaica are of African ancestry. Her father is a Black man. She is thus half Black. Nobody said jack shittio about anyone being African American until you just now. You first claimed she’s 100% Indian & now you’re moved the goalpost to not being culturally Black.

[A Salty Scientist @ScientistSalty]

@reinhardtgstein @craigcalcaterra Jamaica is 3% Indian (including Afro-Indians) and 93% Black, but lean into that weird new Birtherism because of your feels.
