  1. I don't really know if it's a Hinch thing as more and more teams seem to be doing the same thing. I believe it has to do with half the roster being pitchers. At one time, the typical roster had 15 hitters and 9 pitchers, so there was 2 extra bench spots which allowed for more platooning and mixing and matching without players playing out of position. The solution would be to expand rosters to 28 while keeing pitching staffs at a max of 13
  2. True, but thinking Kreidler or McKinstry becomes a regular is another one of those things!
  3. Or Maton moves to second and Keith or Malloy takes over third later in the season.
  4. I expect all kinds of appeals and delays without a definitive outcome for a long time if ever. I also don't expect any minds to be changed. My only hope is that people just get sick of hearing about him.
  5. It would be intense if somewhat who understood what it meant said it, but she's a moron. That being said, I think interviewing her on 60 Minutes is a mistake. It seems like a good way for a very long-running show to lose a lot of credibility.
  6. That's not unimaginable at all. It has a very good chance of happening.
  7. Right, expect a different line-up almost every day.
  8. It's very rare for a woman to get the disease at such a young age. So, she is part of a really small sample and her body could possibly react differently. Very doubtful, but maybe there is a sliver of hope there.
  9. There is so much social media and media now that it's easy to miss someone. I know who she is because I follow a lot of baseball stat people on twitter. I add a lot of them each year and then drop some of them if they are too arrogant or too uninteresting or if they turn out not to be as good at analysis as they think. She turned out to be the best of the bunch. She originally had a niche following, but her audience has grown a lot the last couple of years.
  10. I agree. She is so good at blending advanced stats with anecdotes and positivity and she does it all with humility. I feel like she could have the impact of a Peter Gammons if given the chance. I am proud of her for fighting the disease and moving forward as long as she can. Her story is both heart breaking and inspiring.
  11. Of course, he wasn't indicted because of sex. My question is whether his crimes in this particular case are worse than other corrupt businessmen. If not, then he still should be arrested but I think the charges won't be viewed seriously by the general population. They would be viewed as political.
  12. There might have been one or two polls that had Clinton up by double digits a week before the election, but the average poll and the state polls made it look like Trump had a legitimate shot. I think it was something like a 20% of Trump winning which was widely misinterpreted as Clinton winning in a land slide. That was like saying, you need a .200 hitter to get a hit to win the game in the bottom of the 9th or the game is over. No good fan would assume the game was lost at this point. They wouldn't expect a win, but they would stay to watch the finish because they know it has happened before. But ye, I understand that someone who doesn't understand probability might have stayed home instead of voting.
  13. I also hate parks that have a yellow line as home run marker
  14. It depends on who "they" are. Trump will be a lot more well known.
  15. Their grandchildren probably won't even know who Hillary Clinton is. They'll know Trump. They'll want to know why America allowed a mafioso clown be President.
  16. That's because people thought that Biden was a better candidate than Trump. Maybe people didn't think that about Clinton at the time.
  17. The problem is there are a LOT more crazies than I realized. Paying more attention to politics hasn't given me more hope or any feeling that I can do anything about it. It doesn't even make me feel smarter. It just gets me irritated.
  18. Maybe they weren't trying to accomplish anything. They were voting for who they thought was the best candidate. If Clinton was a better candidate she wouldn't have lost to a clown. I was going to vote for Sanders until I fould out that Massachusetts doesn't count write-ins.
  19. I don't think any of her opinions are intense. They are just stupid.
  20. I didn't know what it was either. And I agree that life is better without politics. I figured I'd get away from it when Trump lost, but he and the stupid clowns that surround him just keep coming up over and over.
  21. Yes, you are right. I am just concerned with how it is going to be viewed and I am disappointed that this one came up first. The other cases might all get slowed down enough where nothing happens before November, 2024.
  22. I am also in a role where I am dealing with confidential data all the time. I don't necessarily agree with the rules, but I follow them. But then we had to work at home and it gets more complicated.
  23. I just saw a clip of Sarah Langs and it was painful to watch. The brain is still fully there, but you see her struggling physically. She is one the best young analysts in the game and it's terrible to see her going throught the horror of ALS.
