We called ourselves Simple Harmonic Emotion

We would mostly not talk to them because they thought they were real scientists but we disagreed
that, and they had way hotter girls.
ok, it was mostly to make up for the girls.
Wait. Engineers had girls?

Hey, I'm not going to start judging physical appearance, or anything
there were literally no women on our Masters course.
By that stage, though, I’d learned how to talk to people without refering to differential equations, so it was all ok. Vodka, it helps everything.

I was 134 lbs when I left university
I was not a healthy boy, by the end.
Needless to say, I’ve made up for that in the eight years since
Yeah, literally, I was. Wasn't the happiest time of my life
suffice it to say, I don’t fit those clothes any more
I think I was about 134 lbs at 5'9"
when I was 20. I don’t think I was unhealthy. Really skinny, yes, but made that way.
(Somewhat less skinny now….)

Take if it’s a strike, swing if it’s in the left-handed batter’s box.

He's still not looking great,
but for the first time all season, I feel like Cahill has made progress.
He’s throwing more strikes, he’s throwing his changeup much more often, and much more often for a strike, and he’s getting more swinging strikes. His strikeout rates are still low, but the groundball rates have gone way up, and if he keeps it up, the strikeouts will rise too.
He still needs to work on either his slider or his curveball if he wants to realize his potential, but for the first time all year, I really feel like he’s getting close to being ready to pitch in the majors.
