    Atlanta (FX)

    Another show that doesn’t have its own thread and is one of the best on TV. Season 3 just came out after a 2 year hiatus. Donald Glover has created a show unlike any other on TV right now and the cast is incredible.

    Severance (AppleTV+)

    I posted this is the “what you’re watching” thread, but it needs its own. If you’re not watching this, you’re missing out. WATCH IT!

    HELOC

    Ok, talk me out of it: Wife and I are taking on a kitchen remodel. Contractor estimate of $40k. We have $37k in saving account doing nothing right now. Got an offer for a fee-free HELOC from my bank (assuming my LtV comes in ok) to get the funds. Do not have a set rate yet, but it will be...

    I Care a Lot (Netflix/Amazon Prime)

    Via Netflix (and maybe Amazon Prime). Rosamund Pike and Peter Dinklage. Great acting, very interesting concept. No good guys. The plot has some stretches that you’ve got to get past, but I think the payoff is worth it. would recommend.

    Alice in Borderland (Netflix)

    Anyone else watch this? Wife and I just finished season 1 (likely a season 2). Japanese horror sci-fi based off of a manga comic.

    Let’s Stop Pretending That Pitchers Can Hit

    Sadly, not everyone is Shohei Ohtani: Pitcher hitting has never been worse, and it’s time to evolve beyond MLB’s vestigial limb and bring the DH to the National League Complaints about pitcher hitting are not new to the game. The origins of organized DH advocacy extend to the 19th century, and...

    Biggest Losers in NCAA Tourney

    Looks like a good argument could be made that UofA is the biggest choker in the NCAA Tourney 64 team history with 11 total first round losses and 55% of them being favored. This doesn't include 2018 either. Indiana, Missouri, and Oklahoma right on their tail. So are certain schools uniquely...

    American Vandal (Netflix)

    No thread on this. Just finished it. I don't think it's for everyone, but it sucked me in quick and is very bingable. The second episode is dedicated to "did a handjob occur or not" and was hilarious. On Netflix.

    Counterpart (Starz)

    No thread on this show? Just watched the first episode. A cross between Fringe and a Cold War Spy story. JK Simmons is excellent. Recommend.

    The Next Battle in the War Over WAR

    Great article regarding the stat WAR and the AL MVP race. Bill James isn't always right, but he's one of the best "thinkers" in baseball. https://www.theringer.com/mlb/2017/11/29/16712482/future-of-war-aaron-judge-jose-altuve-bill-james-debate

    Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

    On BBCA. Based upon Douglas Adams stories. Bizarre, but certainly pulls you in. Fiona Dourif, daughter of Brad Dourif, is great in it IMO.

    MLB Season 115 recap: We counted 27 head-scratching plot holes

    Couple of DBack related sections: 14. Honestly, a lot of these performance swings are too extreme to even qualify as randomness. Fernando Rodney: His June was the second no-hit month (minimum nine innings piitched) in history. OK. 15. And now Rodney is the closer for a National League...

    The game of TTOs

    Baseball has never looked quite like it does now, for better and for worse. Defenders are getting involved in play less than ever and stolen bases are at a 45-year low, but on the other hand, the game is populated by beastlike men capable of spectacular feats of power. And the sport is only...

    The Batting Order Revolution Will Be Televised

    “Kyle Schwarber, leadoff hitter,” might seem like a paradoxical arrangement, given that the young slugger’s most visible strength (extra-base hits) and weakness (strikeouts) don’t mesh with the traditional leadoff profile. “Some of the stereotypes that come with ‘Is the leadoff hitter a...

    Injuries and the 2016 season

    So, we have heard from the team and from fans that injuries are big reason we have had such a miserable season and that, had we not been devastated by those injuries, we would easily be in contention. One thing we have to keep in mind when we make these excuses is how our injuries are relative...

    Trade Goldschmidt in 2017?

    If the Diamondbacks are out of the race by mid-season break of 2017 I think they should shop Goldy. He will have 2.5 years of incredible value left. He's hired a new agent who specializes in jumbo contracts. He'll be approaching age 30 and any following contract will be most likely negative...

    Bill James plan to fix Pro Basketball's Perverse Incentives

    Bill James is worried the amount of regular season competitive games is going to continue to diminish because of the incentive to tank. As more team begin to realize that constant mediocrity isn't a viable long term strategy they will pull a Philadelphia 76ers. Interesting proposal worthy of...

    Home Record

    The home record stands at 5-16. the only team to make the playoffs with a losing home record in a full season was the 2001 Atlanta Braves at 40-41. We need to go 36-24 at home for the rest of the year to finish with a winning record. A .600 winning percentage. Something to keep in mind.
