  1. I didn't see anything controversial.
  2. It's not the only factor, but I think it could have an influence. The reason they have that incentive is to encourage teams to promote players on opening day rather than wait a month into the season.
  3. You have done it multiple times. I was just curious what it means.
  4. Or maybe we will have competitive authoritarianism.
  5. 🐅🐅🐅🐅
  6. Why do you put ducks on every post now?
  7. He was worth a draft pick. The draft pick they could potentially get for McGonigle winning would be a better draft pick (right after the first round) versus the one they just gave up (I think after the second round?). Harris won't bring him up if he's not ready, but if he is ready, I think he'd rather try for the draft pick than delay his service time.
  8. No, That blog is horrible.
  9. It is still used in fields like meteorology and aerospace, but languages like Python are now more typical for advanced mathematical computing. I have played around a little with Python and I like it.
  10. I read "A Walk in the Park" after reading this post. It was really good.
  11. I was trained as a statistician, but programming is where I earn most of my money. Programmers tend not to have much status, but most people are either not good at it or don't like it, so it has kept me employed. They'll try to replace me with AI some day, but I'm getting close enough to retirement, so it probably won't matter. Not many use it anymore but FORTRAN is still the best language I ever used. You could do almost anything mathematical with just 40 different commands and it was so logical. Some modern languages do some amazing things, but others seem unnecessarily complex.
  12. I want to collapse and die on a run or hike when I'm in my 90s.
  13. If McGonigle is ready, then that changes a lot of things. I am actually pretty optimistic that he'll hit his way on to the team in Spring training. I know that Harris would love for him to be ready on opening day because it could mean another draft pick.
  14. Every time he tries to be humorous, it comes off as immature and shallow and not funny or clever all. He's the middle school bully who says stupid stuff and all his friends have to laugh so they they can be cool even though they know it's stupid.
  15. Players will move around to different positions and there will not be strict platoons. If Meadows can't hit enough, Baez might play some centerfield, but necessarily be the regular centerfielder. Since Valdez is a ground ball pitcher, perhaps Baez will play shortstop when he pitches and Vierling or Meadows will be in center field those days.
  16. He hasn't posted since last July. I hope he is OK. I think he is about 75 years old.
  17. The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears
  18. I got it right away. You've used that kind of humor many times.
  19. I truely believe he has no intellect. He does have a certain kind of smarts which allows him to manipulate people to no end, but his intellect (ability to use logic and analyze complex things) is pretty much nonexistent. Some people still think he's just pretending to be dumb and just messing with us, but I think what you see is what he is. That is what might save us, although we won't necessarily be safe from his handlers.
  20. I am pretty sure Grapesbastard was Tyrus/Duane B Sims. He pretty much admitted it once.
  21. So, is Trump the 7 year old in this scenario?
  22. I don't like the way she laughs. She won't be tough on China.
  23. It didn't take long for the "pitching surplus" to work itself out!
