Believe it or not FYWW pitched great those last 4 innings. 8 pitch save.

When will the clock run out on the TikTok experiment?

How short was the Kazmir experiment last night?

Indeed it did. Good to see. Doesn't make up for the 8 CPBS, but it's a nice start.

2 innings. Horrid pitch to Bryant, otherwise he looked ok. I think Kap was only looking for once through the lineup.

I doubt it, but his turn around is drastic enough that it does beg the question...

PROMPTS the question. PROMPTS!!

begging the question means avoiding it.

Beg the Question

It's not begging at all

Beg the Question

Not wrong actually, per your source:

The phrase itself comes from a translation of an Aristotelian phrase rendered as "beg the question" but meaning "assume the conclusion."

That was the original meaning, and the one I learned. It's only fairly recently that the opposite definition has come into usage.

Much like "could care less" meaning one "couldn't care less," the brain dead common usage has corrupted things.

Actually, “my source” (the admittedly fake news site Merriam Webster) says that the VASTLY common usage of the phrase means that a given fact demands the subsequent question. The site goes on to say that the opposite meaning (the fact supposes an outcome and therefore ignores the begged for question) is rare, and those who believe that to be the meaning are basically judgemental assholes (their conclusion, not mine).

”Could care less” is akin, imho, to “could of”. It is just something said by lazy ignoramus’. The words themselves don’t make sense. “Begs the question”, on the other hand, means exactally what it says, “a question is desired here”.

“Could care less”, literally, says that there is a state of caring below the current state that you occupy. You actually have a level of caring about the subject at hand. But the speaker is trying to communicate a complete lack of caring. The opposite of what is said.

”Could of” is just dumb. It means nothing. It is only said be someone too lazy to actually pay any attention to what is actually said or what it means. “Could of” is a mispronunciation of “Could have”. Pure and simple.

And don’t get me started on “Literally”.

I know that usage creates definition; I concede that current usage supports your position. But every time I see it, I cringe. For centuries, "beg the question" meant to avoid it. Now, it's been co-opted by the "could care less" crowd.

You do you; I'll be here guarding my lawn.
