Betting against the Pirates every day is a lock because they're already using position players to pitch

I'm just going to bet against the Pirates every single day. When you have a position player that pitches in a game in the first four games of the season, that's a good red flag for this season has already been sold out. So I'm just going to bet literally every single game against the Pirates.

Prediction Baseball Medium

The Pirates lost 101 games in 2021. Betting against them every day would have yielded a profit depending on the money line, but they were objectively one of the worst teams.

Augusta National pipes in bird noises for the Masters broadcast

I'm more convinced than ever that the birds are actually piped in crowd noise. Agreed. There's one bird in particular. They play its call over and over and over. It's a cardinal, I think. They're getting sloppy with it. I think it might be a whippoorwill. But whatever it is, it's very obvious.

Opinion Golf Medium Subjective

While CBS was caught using recorded bird sounds in 1990 and 1991, Augusta National and modern broadcasters maintain the sounds are natural, though the theory persists among fans.

Bryson DeChambeau looks fat when he is playing poorly

When you're bigger and you're doing well, you're strong. And when you're doing poorly, you're fat. And he looks fat today. Not to body shame, but there's something about the plus four next to his name that the strength now becomes a little pudgy.

Hot Take Golf Hot Subjective

This is a purely subjective observation about visual perception based on athletic performance.

I like Patrick Reed more than Bryson DeChambeau because Reed is a genuine villain

I somehow like Patrick Reed more because he's more of a villain than Bryson is... He's the ultimate heel in golf. Bryson is like, he's an aspiring heel. [Reed] knows everyone hates him, and he kind of has just accepted it.
