@xGPhilosophy You posted that the Dorgu header that led to 21 was a 0.00 xA. Free header middle of the box. “Expected” goals and assists are meant to isolate probability, regardless of outcome. But clearly you’re just a gimmick cosplaying as a data-driven observer. Wack
@xGPhilosophy Ah so you’re openly admitting that xA is completely dependent on the outcome of what a player does with the pass they receive. Because a free header in the middle of the box shouldn’t be 0.00(xA). You’re saying a header off the bar is, which goes completely against your ethos
Fernando Tatis Jr. won the NL Platinum Glove (fan vote) last season with 8 OAA and 15 DRS.
Pete Crow-Armstrong has 8 OAA and 9 DRS in 30 games this season.
@AdamMcKola@aaroncikaya@AbzBusquets Totally agree with all your points. It’s the absurd notion that because he’s British that he’s somehow more qualified or righteous than any foreign billionaire.
The real issue isn’t left vs right.
It’s not white vs black.
It’s not citizen vs immigrant.
It’s not gay vs straight.
The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.
Me: "Donald Trump ran for president in 2016 and said people with guns should maybe take care of Hillary Clinton to protect the 2nd Amendment. He ran for president in 2020, lost the election, and then incited a violent insurrection at the Capitol where his supporters tried to hang his vice-president. In 2024 he ran for president, he referred to his opponents as 'vermin' and the 'enemy within' and said he would send the military after them... Donald Trump has set the tone here."
BBC host: "That is the right. But what about the left?"
Me: "Which left? I saw Barack Obama, Joe Biden... all the leading Democrats came out and condemned this and said we need to tone this down."
