and once again, exact same result. Mauer whiffs after taking a strike, foluling one off, and then getting overpowered swinging at 101mph FB

Why the Twins mgr thought it was a good idea to send up a LHP vs Chapman is beyond me, and same one he blew away with ease 2 nights ago.

@MisterRedlegs but that would actually be performing another managerial duty

@MisterRedlegs just wondering: what would Billy Hamilton’s OSBP (on SECOND base pct) say about his relative value of batting 1st vs 9th?

.@ctrent just wondering: what would Billy Hamilton’s OSBP (on SECOND base pct) say about his relative value of batting 1st vs 9th?

Like to see how he compares to others in @Reds lineup on that score, and that would be best arguement AGAINST his batting 9th over leadoff

with Billy Hamilton, calculate his OSBP (On SECOND-base percentage, rather than just OBP, regular on-base pct.) to properly gauge his value

IOW, “Take what you can get” and/or “Live to fight another day”, which is often heard at “Agreements” & a favorite at the passing of bills

@dlature @NaomiAKlein @CIDSE Naomi invoked this to expose the use of this to forestall the needed more serious measures

“Don’t let the perfect become the enemy of the good” @NaomiAKlein at @CIDSE

OMG, this panel is fantastic. I keep pausing to tweet/post quotes. Everyone check it out (this is reply)

Now , back to @NaomiAKlein awesome-ness at @CIDSE: “If we don’t want runaway climate change, then we need system change”

Those feelings and realizations (yea, even “revelations”) are renewed, affirmed & strengthened when I hear her speak like she did at @CIDSE

Much of what is behind that last post about @NaomiAKlein is how deeply @ThisChanges Everything reached into & exposed my deep-seeded denials

For me, @NaomiAKlein speaks PROPHETICALLY, and I mean that in a much deeper sense that just as “secular prophet”. Now chew on that one.
