    I've been shocked by how good the Rangers starting rotation has looked this year missing deGrom. Eovaldi has been incredible so far.

    I hate this. We're being deprived of watching an all-time great who took off late (in baseball terms) and was likely going to be chasing a very interesting hall of fame case. It's really hard to see that happening now and it makes you wonder what could have been if he had just been able to stay healthy.

    I mean this dude had a 1.08 ERA in 15 games in 2021, if he had kept that pace for another 15 starts it would have had a very real argument to be the single best pitching season of all time.

    A lot of us end up having to do this, it is hard to be taken seriously with a strong southern accent due to the biases people have.

    Unfortunately there is a heavy association with poor education and having a thick southern accent- and it is in many cases well earned, even growing up in the South and having had somewhat of an accent myself I still catch myself stereotyping when I hear a strong southern drawl.

    I have also had to work as well to neutralize my native accent in adulthood for this reason.

    I'm an American who has been learning Danish for years and it really is staggering how different the speech is of someone from Bornholm or South Jutland and the "standard" capital region dialect, I was surprised to learn that such a small country has such variation internally.

    I have found even Norwegian to be more intelligible to me than my South-Jutlandic father in law's Danish.
