So do you not actually know the answer to any of the questions I posed, or did you just want to hit me with some Jon Bois before getting on with it?
Oh, I thought your issue was with the factual correctness of low BA but high xwOBA being good for offensive production.
Is it really just that you're upset that it's effective? Because yeah, someone can recognize that homers and walks are offensive production and yet be unhappy that baseball played optimally might be more boring than the old style.
How does softening the baseball help, if you're considering homers to be boring, by the way? I don't get that. Also, would that drop pitching velocity, or increase it? I've never heard this proposal, so I'm not aware of what exactly it would cause.
It's more than just his homers, mate, although the homers do help to put him in the middle of the top 1/3rd of the league in xSLG.
Something you entirely miss by honing in on BA is that he is literally a 1%er in walk rate, which helps to put him in the middle of the top 1/6th of the league in xwOBA.
Because the game is about scoring, and that means +to homers and +to walks [the former isn't weighted well by BA and the latter isn't considered at all by BA] there is a lot to offensive production that BA misses. It's not a terrible stat to look at most of the time, but when you're looking at a player that has great power and a great walk rate, you get a very misleading answer if you're trying to figure out his offensive production by looking at BA alone. [bottom 10% in BA, but top 15% in offensive production]
Correct. Last I checked, wild animals haven't begun to prey on human beings out in the open [Revelation 6:8] let alone 1⁄4 of the world's population dying following massive food shortages. [6:6]
We could possibly be at Seal 2, awaiting Seal 3. But almost all of the book of Revelation is forthcoming, not already well past!
Got here while the upvote/downvote was 1/6, lol
as activists and families suspect a cover-up on the part of the local government.
You. Don't. Say.
God kills, and God makes alive. The loss of life to the Russians and Chinese would pail in comparison to the total fall of western civilization to the globalists. God doesn't intervene spectacularly until there is no other choice.
That said, that's why I added the second paragraph; in your mind, it's fair to say that I'm wrong. But to those who do believe in the Lord, there is much less reason to get all messed up over the timing of it all, for He is able to sweep in at any time and flip the story, no matter how installed their plans are. [because He's always one step ahead of 'em]
Starting to think that they aren't waiting on their own plans, but waiting on God.
And I'm sure they would only do that if God was communicating with them. And if this really is as deep as some people think it is, it's hard to believe that they could be doing all this without some help from above.
So if he could have stayed in for one more term, we would have seen 666.
Guess that's why they had to jam Biden down our throats.
Being scared of people having access to information... where have I seen that before?
I don't think this is the case. I do believe there are actual elections, they're just rigged to shit.
As an example, I have a theory as to why there were so many ballots that voted for Biden, but didn't vote down-ballot at all. I believe that the GOP came up with an agreement with the Democrats to cheat to allow Biden to win the presidency, but to allow the Senate and House to be "fairly" contested. We all know the deep GOP hated Trump, and anticipated that their base could handle a Trump loss and a GOP win either in the Senate, or all of Congress.
What they didn't anticipate was that that other forms of cheating would be so extensive that they would go on to lose the Senate and House as well; and yet they didn't fight back because [unlike their base] they were willing to suck up a total loss in 2020, waiting for the 2022 midterms to come around, if it meant that Trump lost the executive.
So the elections are probably not "just for show", they're just rigged toward whatever the Uniparty's handlers want.
What Clandestine misses is that elections are won by who wins the moderates/independents, not based on "supporters" who are relatively evenly balanced on both sides.
Just because none of the diehard Republicans would vote for Democrats just because Swift said to does not mean that no moderates [people who go into the Presidential Debates without already having decided in their heart who the winner is] would be swayed by a Swift endorsement. Some people absolutely would.
