So we know now that he has spoken to groups of Yankees about his felony. HIs cowardice.
Providing an apology of sorts, we are told.
But there are no details. And I know the argument why the details must remain " between the clubhouse walls." But I don't have to like them.
Is his girlfriend still his girlfriend?
Does he have a new one? Is he on Tinder?
Why no police, ever?
Is there an apology ( of sorts ) coming for the fans?
Or for the females of this world? Or males of this world.
He should try dating a member of the YPG. The Female Syrian resistance fighters who defeated ISIS.
Then we'll see how tough he is.
There is something about this incident that won't go away.
Even if he pitches well.
I can't explain it.
It just seems worse than shooting a gun into a garage.
Even though it likely isn't.
On the day after my second covid vaccine shot, I submit this nugget, apropos of nothing other than the fact it is nearly March and I’m flat-out lethargic and bored stiff from inactivity. An excerpt from Vanity Fair:
ReplyDelete“Then one afternoon I came upon a letter dated June 4, 1985, from Bill James. The baseball analyst whose work was then being blithely ignored by professional baseball people had wanted help answering a question that vexed him: Why were baseball professionals forever attempting to explain essentially random and therefore inexplicable events? “Baseball men, living from day to day in the clutch of carefully metered chance occurrences, have developed an entire bestiary of imagined causes to tie together and thus make sense of patterns that are in truth entirely accidental,” James wrote. “They have an entire vocabulary of completely imaginary concepts used to tie together chance groupings. It includes ‘momentum,’ ‘confidence,’ ‘seeing the ball well,’ ‘slumps,’ ‘guts,’ ‘clutch ability,’ being ‘hot’ and ‘cold,’ ‘not being aggressive’ and my all time favorite the ‘intangibles.’ By such concepts, the baseball man gains a feeling of control over a universe that swings him up and down and tosses him from side to side like a yoyo in a high wind.” It wasn’t just baseball he was writing about, James continued. “I think that the randomness of fate applies to all of us as much as baseball men, though it might be exacerbated by the orderliness of their successes and failures.”

ReplyDeleteOverall, I would say that James revolutionized the baseball world, generally for the better.
ReplyDeleteThe unfortunate fallout: that some people consequently deem each and every new statistic a gem, without truly examining how useful they are.
