  1. lol this Republican former Trump official has a bolder student debt cancellation plan than Liz! Warren.
  2. It’s a very nuanced position.
  3. If the Astros keep doing what they're doing and the Nationals keep doing what they're doing then the Astros have a decent chance of coming back. I would feel much worse about this series if the Astros were struggling to make quality contact against the Nationals' staff, which has not been the case.
  4. This is interesting, Astros' team wOBA - xwOBA for each postseason series: ALDS: .301 - .291 (Astros got their asses kicked at the plate and had relatively neutral "luck") ALCS: .266 - .353 (Astros hit well but had awful luck) WS: .319 - .364 (Astros have been crushing it but have had awful luck) So really, the only series where we got manhandled by the opposing pitching staff was against the Rays, with our offensive struggles in the ALCS and WS being more attributable to poor clustering and sizable wOBA - xwOBA splits. Of course, not all that goes into wOBA- xwOBA splits is luck given that xwOBA does not incorporate batted ball direction, but a good chunk of it is and xwOBA is a more reliable indicator in small samples than wOBA on the offensive side.
  5. That is his specialty, isn’t it.
  6. Need to maintain our disciplined approach. No quick innings for Scherzer please.
  7. Really hope Yordan comes around this series.
  8. Starting to dawn on me that the Astros have an opportunity to win their second World Series in three seasons and cement the 2017-2019 teams as one of the all-time great runs in baseball history. How many teams in the history of the game have had a run of three consecutive 100+ win seasons and two World Series titles? Can't be very many. We all know they are capable of winning this thing, just have to hope that they show up and play at the level we've grown accustomed to over the past six months.
  9. Other reporters are corroborating the story. I can’t believe they released that statement. Shameless and unbelievably stupid.
  10. I’d easily put Urquidy above Sanchez, who has not been good this season.
  11. I know she's hot...but be careful, she's likely a Russian asset.
  12. The credit for them performing better than the Nationals during the season without Sevy is so much bigger than the ding for not having lol German on the postseason roster that it doesn't really make a difference. A healthy Sevy is one of the best pitchers in AL, while a healthy German is a mediocrity (see, e.g., his 101 FIP- for this season).
  13. The Nats really aren't any better than the Rays and wouldn't have sniffed the playoffs if they were in the AL. They have a really good rotation, but overall I don't know if their staff is as good as the Yankees' who had a lower SIERA and xwOBA while facing AL lineups and without their best pitcher in Sevy for almost the entire season.
  14. Is there a city worse than DC? Gary, Indiana...maybe, although the people in Gary are probably nicer to be around.
  15. I like Tulsi a lot, particularly her fearlessness on foreign policy and the fact that shitlibs can't stand her, but Bernie is clearly the best candidate in the field.
  16. The status quo plus a public option is not a step towards single payer healthcare, and will only serve to further entrench our system of private health insurance. Moreover, the failure of a public option plan plan to provide full coverage and to lower costs will only provide additional ammunition to the health insurance industry and those in its pay when it argues that what America actually needs is a more unrestricted market and more options, not big gubnit running your healthcare. You have to be a total fucking rube not to see this.
  17. In 2004 he allegedly supported single payer, which he clearly does not at this point and instead favors the same bullshit Joe favors - the status quo with a weak public option.
  18. So you think it's not corruption or careerism that drives Mayor Pete away from policies that would provide healthcare to all Americans? Does he just hate poor people that much?
  19. Why don't you just support Joe Biden? There is exceptionally little difference in their politics, Joe is far more charming than Mayor Pete and has a much better chance to win.
  20. We would instead rather arm AQ and bomb those fighting them.
