- listening to phoebe bridgers
- anime: bleach: thousand year blood war
- laptop thesis: mostly a nothing burger, some initial pop but lacks the mystery and surprise of trump; once launch is over, other memes on hood and sol fly again
the energy felt on the timeline post acquisition v2 announcement is further proof we have a lot of work to do to break out of the "farcaster loves talking about farcaster" culture.
what music are you listening to?
what anime are you watching?

i havent watch much of the giants live because i can’t stand sloppy baseball
but caught yesterdays game and one small thing really sticks out—eldridge making the cards pay for pitching around devers
the giants haven’t had that type of potential protection for big hitters since…bonds/kent days
posey had belt/crawf...

matt olson is probably one of the best comps for eldridge
i think we'll see eldridge grow into this a little more and likely exceed this over time. he's got his whole career to improve his bat speed and continue refining his eye.
looks like the giants finally found a cornerstone 1st baseman with true 30-40 homer power
eddings with a total ump show and he should be fired
forcing a rookie to adjust his hat because that’s not how it’s worn, then claiming a rockies player asked him to (which the player refuted), and saying he was enforcing an “unwritten rule”

After the game, Eddings claimed that the batter -- Hunter Goodman -- complained about Rincon's hat.
Eddings admitted that it was an "unwritten rule" before describing it as a distraction to the batter, which he implied was against the rules.
Today, Goodman told media he never

new statcast data drop—first base receiving
i think first basemen get a bad rep for being defensive black holes. first base receiving helps change that
everyday first baseman see between 500-650 receiving opportunities in a given season
most of these opportunities are easy, similar to fielding. but some are off ta...

kuminga’s situation has been fascinating to watch
he’s always wanted a larger role and believed in himself, but felt the warriors squandered a lot of his potential
he initially turned down a 3 year $75m deal (3rd year team option) and settled for a 2 year $48m (2nd year team option which was declined) and now signs...

there’s so much to unpack around travel sports teams that led to the current state
- travel ball initially was about the best players playing against the best competition
- public league “all-star” teams were more about who you knew vs merit
- tournaments were smaller with younger teams forced to play against older ...

‘Travel sports,’ a term that has come to encompass all sorts of private teams, leagues, and clubs, used to be for the truly exceptional young athlete. Now, they’re for anyone willing to pay — an expensive, exhausting commitment that has become popular not necessarily because https://t.co/uTex9OTDb3
