If you think nobody talking to you at the dinner table is a deterrent, you haven't met my family. 😃 Seriously though, I just don't see how shaming family and friends is ever a good strategy.

He can still pitch twice if the series goes five games. The question is do they have him pitch on short rest in game 1 or game 5? By having in pitch in game 2 on normal rest, they get the best version of Skubal in that game. Then if they win the series in 4 games, they don't need to use him on short rest. If it goes five, he'll still be available though.

I don't know. I see people shaming each other all the time on social media and it doesn't work. It just makes people more stubborn.

Shaming family and frinds? That sounds like a bad strategy to me. Also, trying to scare them with fake math. Bad strategy!

They could very well feel that way. There are many people that are just as scared of the left as you are of the right. And there are people who are scared of both sides For example, there a whole generation of youth who are terrified of climate change and they don't think either side is addressing it in a meaningful way.

But a vote for stein was not the same as a vote for Trump. If you say that, then you are either really bad at math or being purposely misleading which could be a form of gaslighting. Since Chas is pretty good at math, I am going to assume that he was being purposely misleading.

On the contrary, the more they win, the more bandwagon fans we will get coming to the site.

As a white middle class guy, I will most likely will be fine if he is President again. Other people won't be. I don't think it's the end of Democracy if wins, but the fact that he'd like it to be is one of many reasons why I could never support him in any way.

A Democrat or Independent staying home is bad, but it's still not a vote for Trump. Anyway, I don't the get the feeling that 1776 is a Democrat. He sounds more like an old school Republican who dislikes Trump. Expecting old school Republicans to win the election for Harris is unrealistic. We need to get the lazy/disinterested liberal youth to vote.

A write-in vote or a Republican staying home is objectively better than a vote for Trump.

You got the chaos.

I want them to win of course, but I am happy to finally see them on the post-season stage. They have already accomplished more than I expected this year and there should be many good years to come. I couldn't fully engage in the Houston games due to work, so I'm staying with this one.

And they'll need that today. Hinch and Harris got it right again. 😀

Of course, Maeda was already off the roster. There is not much difference between Mize and Montero. I imagine the change has something to do with matchups.

I thought Terrell was fine, not someone to build a staff around, but someone who could give them innings and win with the kind of team they had. The fact that they traded Howard Johnson for him was not good though. I do remember that the 80s teams always lacked one more starter. I remember dreaming up trades they could make for Floyd Bannister or someone like that.

He was very likeable and loyal. A lot of players gave him credit for helping them in life which is more important than beng a good manager. It's hard to evaluate managers,but I felt that group should have won more. 1984 was a dream season, but 85 and 86 were disappointing. It was harder to make post-season back then, so I cant say they should have made the World Series every year, but I think they had the talent for more than one dominant season.

Another thing was he semed to be better managing star egos than he was developing young players.

I remember when they first signed Leyland as manager. Some of us were skeptical. You backed him 100%. You were right. He was an excellent manager and better person.

I feel fortunate to live in a civilized state. They actually passed some sensible gun control laws recently: https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2024/10/02/healey-to-immediately-implement-gun-control-law-in-face-of-opposition/

yes a write in or no vote better than a vote for Trump. I don't see it as a wasted vote. It's like a tie in sports instead of a loss.

OK Thanks. She sounds like a beauty pageant contestant whenever she answers questions. Don't worry though. She has my vote.

I bet about half the relievers will be in that group.
