I also think that someone who strikes out as much as Adames will not age well, so that being two years younger may not be an advantage. This is old data, but the charts from Hardball Times below show that K% rates increase rapidly from mid 20s onward and there is already little room for his k% to get any higher. Interestingly, BB% remains stable into a player's mid 30s. . https://tht.fangraphs.com/aging-curves-revisited-damn-strikeouts/

If he did win as a Democrat and then tried to steal the next election, Tigeraholic would have gone ape ****. I think that's the point Ben was making.

So, if Obama is too nice and honest to be Trump, what if we insert Bill Clinton into Ben's question instead?

I think he does it simply because he thinks it is humorous.

The criterion could be the ability to play a position other than corner outfield.

Reagan too.

I am finding that a lot of people join Bluesky, but they keep posting on Twitter. Bluesky doesn't seem to be very active so far.

This doesn't surprise me since most things that people buy do not have a cryptocurrency option. Until they do, people are not going to use it in large numbers. For me, it is just something that wealthy investors/gamblers are pushing which I view as a red flag.

Sure, it's good to know what others are thinking, but hearing Trump and Musk mock people and parrot conspiracy theories doesn't help me learn anything especially when I originally joined Twitter to get baseball news.

George Lombard!

Your question would have made more sense if you asked a Republican.

Yes, pitching has completely changed. You can't even compare then and now anymore.

It has gotten pretty common again, but it's not a totally new thing. When we grew up, teams had crowded benches. Some bench players didn't play that much, but there was a lot of pinch hitting, defensive replacements and some platooning. What is different between then and now is that there are fewer bench players available now so they need players that can play multiple roles.

I have more confidence in Malloy as a hitter than Carlson. Hays is more interesting, but he'd probably want to sign as a full-time player.

Possibly, but it doesn't really help them offensively. Mixing and matching Vierling and Malloy into the line-up seems just as good.

That was going to be my answer too. I will add that telling someone who is scared not to be scared would not be the best answer. If someone is scared, you help them in the moment.

Trump has publicly bragged about walking through beauty pageant restrooms while young women were in there. He said it was OK because he owned the pageant. So, the threat of him going into a woman's restroom seems legitimate.

I just know that he goes grocery shopping and shows his ID every time.

Fauci has done more for humanity in his career than all the Congresspeople put together.

I heard Ramyswamy talking about that. I don't think it was a serious suggestion though. It will more likely be based on their political leanings. Whatever they do will be a ****show with lawsuits all over the place.

Trump's views on trans people in 2016: He actually sounds coherent there. He's always been awful, but he has gone way down hill.

The left also wants to work, make a living and not have their kids go to war. They want everyone else to also have those same opportunities.

The bolded part could definitely explain part of it. As Gehringer said, it could have been line-up construction. Perhaps, he felt a need to swing more because the guys hitting around him were not going to drive runners home.

yeah, I could see that too.
