Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Open Thread Rowand Sucks Yay Pablo Buster

You know, there's a lot of talk about winning innings, but I think that successful baseball goes deeper than that. You really have to win the half-innings. If you can't win the half-innings, you haven't really won anything.

So let's go, Giants. Win more half-innings, please.

actually

he’s looked pretty bad. Cubs aren’t swinging at his off-speed stuff, cuz he can’t throw em for strikes, so they can just sit on the fastball.

Not all baserunners are equal though.

A pitchers BABIP should be around .300 and Cain’s has been lower in his Career. Cain allowed 8 hits in 17 Balls in Play, including the pitcher, which is a .471 BABIP. He got unlucky.

It’s like, who cares whether or not Rowling killed Harry Potter? But developing the characters is definitely something the producers control and they nailed it.

But I just thought it was awful. I’m not sure if it’s worse than the black market episode, but it was pretty bad. On the bright side, those are the only two episodes so far that I don’t like.

I really resented them dredging up the KT/LA stuff in the way they did. I also didn’t really like that it was basically a “fill in the gaps” episode. You know what? If you guys wanted to fill in the gaps maybe you shouldn’t have just skipped an entire fucking year and a half.

Plus, I found the boxing theme to be cheesy and the flashbacks to be heavy.

But yeah, Adama is a badass. I have mixed feelings about Roslin, but I like those two together.

Was secondary to the character development. Probably why I enjoyed the ending and the series overall.

If I’d been obsessed with the science side of it, I’d probably be disappointed too.

and then the book ends without telling you how the guy died, or why he was killed, or anything. Right up until the end, you would think it was a great book, but the end ruins the rest of it.
