.500 idk, this team is pretty fun so far

that was some professional hitting by Ward

Can Cimber keep going on 22 pitches?

Does O'Hoppe always leave the mask on for pop-ups?

Didn't anticipate Rengifo's defense at 2nd being the element that swings this series

gotta do all those famous infield drills with the whole pen too

that was some good hitting by Caballero

Yeah it's hard to see him becoming so good over the next two seasons that's it's worth signing him beforehand. He's our guy though, so maybe just for that reason. So badass to come back like this

is Trout really 6'2" tho?

This is pretty persuasive.But it's still only been 40 at bats. Maybe they think such good plate discipline makes it possible to develop vs mlb pitching. Dubious, but plausible I doubt the leash is endless. I'd give him a few weeks to get lucky and snap out of it.

The IF definitely looks better so far

Soriano has such nasty stuff. F'n leadoff walks tho

lol. Rendon's hit

When he can't control his breaking pitches and has to rely on that fastball....yeesh

Not safe at all. He could get there next week

that was a hanging breaking ball on 1-2. 0 for 20

This K vs Mullins, bottom 4, was such a dope job of framing the pitch by O'Hoppe

Interesting. It does seem like we'd remember Henderson as an even greater player if we'd valued the saber stats back then. But did he ever put up a 1.000+ OPS?

Wow...one forgets how good pre-steroids Bonds really was.

Sorry...but you're confirming my assumption. Your concern is about the infringement of a right, personal freedoms, slippery slopes...all of that good stuff. I'm just saying it'd be more honest (and a stronger argument) to put the case that way than to insist gun laws don't reduce gun violence, since they obviously do reduce gun violence. To those of us who think gun ownership is just about the most douchetastic feature of American cultural life, it's hard to understand why gun enthusiasts constantly have to doubt the facts rather than just stick to their principle. Adam's position is coherent (if a bit macabre); your reliance on disbelief in statistics makes it seem like you aren't really sure about the principle. (Sort of like all the pols pretending climate change isn't real rather just admitting they don't give a shit.)

I always heard Bakunin 1.0 was J.G. Fichte.

This is drivel. You should just man up, like Adam, and admit you care more about the supposed right to own weapons made for soldiering than you do about the lives it costs. For instance, I'm willing to say as much about abortion: I care far more about the rights of every woman than I do about the "life" of the parasitic sea monkey she may not want to carry to term.

Fair. No one said nihilism wasn't an option.

But CA guns laws HAVE stopped lots of gun deaths. No doubt we need to sort out correlation vs causation when assessing that 67% statistic (demographics, economics, police policy, drug policy...all factors). But surely the correlation between the introduction of new gun policy and the subsequent steep decline in gun violence suggests there is some causal link between policy and violence. You're saying that link is totally impossible simply because you're glued to the belief that the policies can't work?

ah...my bad.
