I like to play a game where you try to guess a movie based on the Letterboxd reviews of it and did not appreciate seeing this review of 300 that made it sound like it was from the distant past.

[TITLE] is so perfectly up its own ass in a way that no movie nowadays would dare to be, there's not an iota of irony in any of this, no knowing glances, no patronizing gestures to endear itself to a sneering contemporary western audience, none of that sh*t. just a bunch of oiled jacked-up dudes posing against a harshly desaturated digital mythology. it's kind of ridiculous, kind of genius.

Blake Butera has his first true Davey moment. Hopefully it's his last.

Screenshot of quotes from Blake Butera on Andrew Alvarez:
"I don’t know if it was pitching scared. That’s what it felt like,” Butera said in a particularly pointed remark. “I know we threw a 3-0 breaking ball to Cam Smith one at-bat (in the top of the fourth), which I didn’t love. If we’re going to go down, we’ve got to go down attacking. I’ve said that from the beginning of the year. I was just surprised to see that.”

Juan Soto’s manager in Washington for his first four-plus seasons, Martinez was fired last July by the Nationals amid the team’s sixth straight losing campaign. It’s unclear whether Soto would endorse Martinez’s candidacy. While discussing his willingness to move from the third spot in the batting order to second with the San Diego Padres in 2023, Soto said: “In D.C., I was upset to be hitting in the second hole. I tried to tell Davey. He did what he wanted.”

The old adage about teams looking for the exact opposite of their previous manager still holds true.

“We basically wanted to keep him around 20 pitches, and then once (the Mets) went up five, I just can’t put that kid’s health at risk,” the manager said. “Him going out there three days in a row for us and taking the ball is huge. I can’t let that kid get hurt. That’s just not the right thing to do.”

This quote he gave to FanGraphs last summer has stuck out to me for a while as evidence he's just guessing fastball every time and hoping to be right enough times for it to work. I've been meaning to write about it for a while but haven't had the time to get the data I want.

“I’m trying to be more on time with the fastball, catching the ball out in front of the plate rather than letting it get in on me,” House said. “That way I have some room to work with. I mean, I’m just trying to hit it wherever it’s pitched. I feel like I’ve been getting pitched in a lot this year.”

It's funny that every GenAI company has converged on the Corey Hotline pricing model.
