I am taking the over on the Astros season win total because they'll get on base from HBPs

I want to find out what the what the line is on the amount of times that the Astros are going to get beaned this year. And I'm going to take the over on it no matter what... I might take the the season win total over for the Astros. Just on that alone.

The 2020 season was shortened to 60 games. The Astros finished 29-31, which was below many pre-season projections (though the season length makes 'over' takes tricky). They were plunked 21 times in 60 games, which paced toward a high number but wasn't a record.

Sex bots will be perfected before robot umpires or doctors

I think we're going – if history has taught us anything, it's that sex is always on the bleeding edge of technology. So after we perfect sex bots – Then we'll get around to making things like doctors, surgeons. Robot umps and robot baseball players.

Robot umpires are being tested in the minor leagues as of 2024, while high-end AI and robotics in other sectors are progressing at different rates. The 'perfection' of any of these is subjective.

LSU will lose this week because Coach O cannot handle the extra time of a bye week

I think LSU's fucked this week. My sabermetrics is you can't give Coach O two weeks to do anything. Coach O has to have a game a week... You don't spend 14 days studying 2 plus 2 equals 4. That's too long to study that.

LSU lost to Alabama 10-0 on November 5, 2016, following their bye week.
