Four sweeps in the wild card round so no baseball until Saturday, but the matchups seem promising on paper. At least the various NL teams we don’t like aren’t moving on, and the rest can lose too.
This is worth a read. TIL that nobody from the Cubs 2003 postseason roster made a World Series as a player after that, and that both Steve Bartman and Jim Hendry were given World Series rings after 2016.
Between his galling comments on the Michael Oher situation and the recent crypto scammer stuff, Michael Lewis has sure pissed away whatever rep he built from his Moneyball days.
See now I’m wondering about that because the mandate in March was that a bunch of guys on the field or the dugout could get earpieces but only the battery gets the transmitters, so maybe the catcher picked up an indicator from Correa as he snuck behind Vladdy and signaled Sonny Gray to pick off?
The Oher stuff revealed his blind side (SNS) but whatβs the crypto scammer stuff? I know he wrote a book on Sam and the FTXes but it seemed like he lucked into a well-timed book on that one (tempered by very poorly timed foot-in-mouth disease). Is there something else I missed?
Either way, the Oher comment really soured my opinion of him, and I really like his stuff.
There was a Legal Eagle video about this and the whole thing seems shady AF, I assume details will emerge but kind of tricking your purported adopted son into thinking that but not actually adopting him seems like a major low
Oh no, I knew about the Oher stuff. I just hadnβt actually listened to any of his commentary about SBF. I have now and itβs nuts. Theyβre both examples of him refusing to revise his narrative after receiving new information. Itβs kind of amazing he didnβt change his mind on SBF when the corruption came out. He thought he knew more but he knew lessβ¦and what he thought he knew was bullshit.
When people get swindled it takes a LOT to get them to admit it. Lewis is NEVER going to see it.
This is a big part of why so many Americans still like Trump. Itβs super hard to get people to admit theyβre not as smart as how they see themselves.

At least it sounds like people are flooding reviews of the Lewis book with recs to read the recently released Number Go Up by Zeke Faux instead (dying laughing). I picked it up on audiobook earlier this week and am about halfway through.
Even before this stuff I had soured on Lewis a bit after The Premonition, on pandemic stuff. While The Fifth Risk was very good in breaking down all the invisible shit the government does behind the scenes, Premonition basically just seemed like a lot of lazy posthoc analysis and contrarianism.
Never really understood crypto, always seemed like a scam, between the bitcoin and the NFTs it’s kind of just like “why don’t I just buy a Picasso and do rich people money laundering the way it’s always worked before?”
Lewis should be under more fire for some of the comments of support he’s given to the family that was the story in The Blind Side. From the sound of it Oher got screwed and Lewis was standing up for the family (family friends I think) as recently as a month ago.

Billy Eppler is apparently under investigation for misusing the IL, and Iβm really curious what prompted that. Weβve seen the Cubs (and probably most orgs) stash players there with what appear to be phantom injuries, so Eppler must have done something truly outrageous.
I believe his arb raise does not include the money he’s about to earn from being one of the top players in the pre-arb class and the inevitable Cy Young finalist placing, I think they usually do all that stuff by the time the Winter Meetings roll around, so Steele will get paid before he gets paid some more, deservedly.
I donβt like the Landspeeder enough to want to buy one but would absolutely consider if they made another UCS B-Wing.
Iβm planning to get that Coruscant Guard LAAT sometime next year because it looks hella fun to play with. I got the midi scale Executor earlier this year and really looking forward to more ships at that scale.
I said about five or six years ago if they ever made a UCS Venator I would buy it instantly. The old UCS Executor was really cool and wish Iβd bought (or even been aware of) it then. The current midi scale one is also neat though.
I know that sounds like an absurdly obvious statement, but itβs hilarious to me at this point that only two teams in the 2023 postseason have a win percentage that doesnβt end in .000.
They did already release bunches of articles about how the playoff system was broken or unfair because the top seeds got walloped but I’m just like “maybe that’s just baseball”…if the top teams always won that wouldn’t be as fun, even if you believed that was pure.
As a big proponent of this system, I rest comfortably knowing no baseball mind of any merit would believe thereβs anywhere close to enough data to meaningfully evaluate the damage done by *checks notes* resting a little.
The one that I recall most is in 2012, when the Tigers had several days off after having swept the ALCS while the Giants kept playing, and then I believe the Giants swept the Tigers in the World Series, but that’s just really a convenient narrative/excuse, maybe…I dunno…it’s the postseason, play better?
What Iβd wonder mostly is if the data shows hitters perform worse after a multi-day break since timing is probably the easiest thing to lose without regular reps. I have to think after the exhaustion of the season everyone would feel a bit fresher with some time to heal the nagging aches and pains (especially pitchers).
I feel like if you gave teams a choice between playing in the wild card round right away or getting a bye…they might trend towards the extra days of rest, but I guess we won’t know until MLB decides to put it to a vote
I’m immensely surprised Harper didn’t wait around just a bit past 2B to wait for the ball to drop but Harris overthrew a couple guys before Riley salvaged the play so a number of really stupid things had to happen in order for that play to become potentially iconic
I saw a meme that Clayton Kershawβs regular season stats are inner circle HoF but in the postseason heβs basically Steve Trachsel. Itβs remarkable.
Was thinking about Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing but they at least continued to play well and put up stats, they just weren’t as good as Michael Jordan. Kershaw just kind of gets factory reset when the postseason starts, it’s weird.
