I had thought this was assumed.. Schumer doesn't want this vote because he thinks he can win, the best he can do is have it for the record for Nov.

Am really surprised at the degree to which Israeli seems to be in the tank for Russia. The Jerusalem post today reads like it was composed in Moscow.

Haha - I don't know if 'Nakamoto' or whoever he really is would have admitted that as a purpose, but yeah.

Gary Danielson also says hello.

Colt Keith: 2/3 BB 2B HR. 932 OPS.

We can’t seem to find the middle ground. Obama and Bush both suffered for their inexperience. Biden should have run in 16.

Is he undersized but calls coverages really well?

you know the team slump is over when Jimenez does not walk the lead off man.

Tarik Skubal: Good at Baseball.

Take two….They’re small.

Lol- not exactly bombing their way to these runs so far🙃

None out this time

or maybe because many of us here actually have enough experience with older people who do and don't have dementia to know the difference between 'old' and 'demented'. What I do see in Biden is man who has crossed that line we will all hit where we start to become physically frailer faster, and that's not necessarily great news either.

He can hold the bat in either's batter's box, doncha know. Whether you could actually call him a switch hitter is debatable.

If you are good enough from early age to be a short stop, and you don't actually spend the time playing around in the OF also, you will miss that development. It's odd, there is a hierarchy of difficulty in playing the positions around the diamond, but just because you can play a harder one doesn't necessarily mean you can play an easier one, sometimes there is just a hole in your skill set when you reach adulthood, and some skills are harder to develop as an adult. So on one side you have Robin Yount or even Don Kelly who could play anywhere well. OTOH, Schoop is a very good 2b. 1b is 'easier' to play but he is a terrible 1b. Now I would say that since it's mostly footwork, given the time, Schoop has a much higher chance of becoming a good 1b than Willi has of becoming a good OF.

I have my doubts that the lack of an adolescence spent conditioning your still plastic visual-perceptual hardware/software chasing fly balls can be made up by some early work before a few games as an adult, but sure, that pig *could* fly.

interesting, but Platoon level walk-aways would be more significant. That might indicate that the information wall around the grunts was collapsing.

In other news, the Sun will rise in the East tomorrow.

the umps are not competent enough to switch the ball reliably for 2, so obviously 3.

was watching video of Putin's speech; he spent the whole time at the podium unweighting off his right leg every 5 seconds or so, the same leg he kept lifting during the Shoigo video. I don't know if that is just a standard physical tic for him, if not maybe sciatica on his right side, or who knows what.

it's already feeling like 2020.

yeah - there needs to be a protest filed with the league office. They don't go anywhere but someone needs to go on record.

LOL - well you have the guy hitting the ball hard up as the winning run.

interesting that Dan's monitor says it was a good pitch, gameday says it was a ball.
