  1. Early on when I had a homemade mask and it was so hard to take on and off, I would leave it on in the car. That's when we were told to not touch the mask until you could wash your hands.
  2. There will be a pitch clock loophole that will be exploited. Similar to the 3-pitch minimum leading to managers yanking pitchers with two outs so they can make a mid-inning change next inning.
  3. Chris Illitch can fuck off.
  4. I'm not saying it's twisty voodoo after looking up the data. However, I did see something like "average salary has gone down," which ignores the roster rules that have led to churn on the back end of the roster and extending the left tail of the distribution. If two players are making minor league pay half the year and major league pay the full year, that will drag down the average without decreasing the total, if that makes sense.
  5. Player comp has declined since 2017... However I have seen some twisty ways of calculating said decline that exaggerate it. Here's raw data. https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-mlb-sports-business-health-7257a7c73e1e66aef4979986d5c5c864
  6. If the fans were the top of his priority list, they would have caved and started the season on time.
  7. With respect to revenues. Those numbers can be twisted.
  8. Part of me does wonder... again, still in devil's advocate mode... the veracity of some of those claims. There's a ton of gray area around revenue totals, and I do feel like both sides can spin that however they want.
  9. Even if it wasn't us, he will still use it as justification. I mean he said Ukraine is run by Nazis.
  10. This is purely to play Devil's advocate, but they did ask for the moon from the get go. Arb after 2 years, extra year of free agency...
  11. Is the He that Condy is talking about Biden or Putin?
  12. Ran into somebody I haven't seen in a couple years. More of an acquaintance, but I have nothing against this person, and respect her. Ppl are typically surprised to see me out and about, and she said "Because you're scared of COVID" I kinda wanted to reply "No... I'm aware of COVID"
  13. The best way to deal with Tucker is not to share his clips and give him the oxygen or satisfaction.
  14. Don't take the bait on Trump, et al. They are Russian plants doing Putin's bidding. Don't let them drive the wedge.
  15. Does this include Mara Lago?
  16. Carry a spare razor in your glove box or center console just in case you realize you missed a spot.
  17. That Saudi league pretty much crumbled this week.
  18. They do it every five years.
  19. The Minor League puff pieces are out of control. I understand why, but read with a skeptical eye.
  20. Because they can sell out the minor leaguers for leverage.
  21. Tangentially related, but with everything moving to streaming, I don't know how that is going to jive with gambling. On MLB.TV because it lags through my chromecast, I am typically 3-5 minutes behind.
  22. Stuff like this is what drives me nuts. The owners aren't the only one negotiating in bad faith here.
  23. His credibility is going in the shitter right now.
