Goose Eggs

A couple years ago FiveThirtyEight published a new stat they called "Goose Eggs" to track the number of clutch relief innings a reliever came into and left with a goose egg on the scoreboard. I thought it was a great stat--much better than saves--for tracking the best relievers in the game.

Does anyone know if someone still tracks this stat? Is there a NL/AL leaderboard somewhere?

Live Nation/Ticket Master won't give you your tickets unless you install their app
  • You can use the mobile website if you don't want to install their app. You can also put the tickets in a mobile wallet if you use one.

    This is just so you don't screenshot, share it, and try to double-dip your ticket with a friend.

  • TRIGGER WARNING: We have people self immolating because of genocides happening and because people are losing housing.
  • It says "long term housing" in the article. Shelters are by definition not long term. These people weren't paying their bills, so the police found them a place where they would be taken care of that they didn't have to pay for. This was honestly a very fair and reasonable outcome.

    Sounds like you just need an excuse to argue for socialism, though. So yes, no one should ever be evicted, no one should be a landlord, no one should pay rent, and on and on and on...

  • Do any Spanish speaking countries play (American) football and if so what's the best way to watch it?
  • First off, the US is a Spanish speaking country. There's 3 NCAA Div 2 schools in the US territory of Puerto Rico. None play football, but they all have basketball. And there are many NCAA football games broadcast in Spanish -- you just have to look on the team's site.

    And it looks like Mexico has an American football league to follow: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mexican_collegiate_American_football_programs

  • How to learn math after school?
  • I recommend Khan Academy. Self paced, but gamified learning. Totally free and accessible, but also rigorous and complete. It goes from literal infant level to full bachelor's in mathematics.

  • GOP push to get more Americans into high-deductible health is dividing Democrats
  • Maybe I just got lucky, but the companies I've worked at the HDHP was significantly less expensive but also HR would encourage fully funding the HSA when you select it (one of them auto enrolled a substantial amount in HSA). There was still savings vs other plans even after fully funding. Also, both companies directly funded a portion of the HSA which I believe is common.

    I don't know if there's HDHPs on the marketplaces but I'm not sure they should be. And I know that medicare plans are not HDHPs (this is mentioned in the article) since they don't make sense for people who are struggling. But I think for people in the middle they are a really good option that should be encouraged.

    I have heard of people using them as second retirement funds, but my family has always had enough medical costs to consume the value.
