And Lenin Sosa is three standard deviations worse than the league average in terms of swing decisions.

He's swinging at pitches outside of the zone almost as much as pitches inside of the zone.

I imagine we're so far away in terms of

actually getting anywhere on the contentious issues um so what are you guys looking at in terms of you know news updates and like what is relevant to you as this kind of thing starts up and if you're an average fan what kind of things should you be uh listening for and looking out for as the two sides inevitably begin to play the pr game publicly too
