The Windows scheduler is so stupid chip manufacturers manipulate the BIOS/ACPI tables to force it to make better decisions (particularly with SMT) rather than wait on MS to fix it.

Linux just shrugs, figures out the thread topology anyway and makes the right decisions regardless.

Yes! Firing Shildt was a mistake, and Marmol's only qualification is that he wouldn't rock the boat.

I could be wrong but I think he's eyeing club manager, based on his work in Venezuela and the PR team. I'd take him as a pitching coach in a second though.

Totally agree. Yadi was basically another pitching coach behind the plate and knew each pitcher well. Contreras is just an okay catcher that can hit.

Personally, I think we'll drop Marmol for Yadi as soon as he's ready but that might be wishful thinking.

I'm a Cardinals fan and Lynn was a great workhorse for us years ago but I'm not sure this move really helps our terrible rotation. At least he can still eat innings, I guess.

Dodgers are NL Yankees confirmed.

I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you.

Nobody running a FOSS third party launcher is an average end user. Also, people routinely add flags to typical games even on Windows (e.g. -skiplauncher)... It's really not that big a deal.

Dunno about you guys but I enjoyed the running game this season. Wanna see more runners try to beat a throw from a catcher with an arm.

Came here for the Discworld reference, was not disappointed.

He's gonna be 40, hasn't been good in a couple of years, already a strong HoF case. I don't think he plays a game for anyone but the Reds at this point.
