  1. Because they can sell out the minor leaguers for leverage.
  2. 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.
  3. Stuff like this is what drives me nuts. The owners aren't the only one negotiating in bad faith here.
  4. His credibility is going in the shitter right now.
  5. That was mooostly updating the course, undoing the Rees Jones abominations/renovations.
  6. I should say... Vaxxed, relaxed, still masked.
  7. Maybe belongs in the general sports page, but golf twitter is ablaze with the Oakland Hills Clubhouse Fire. Anybody else witnessing it?
  8. Elaborating on earlier... It's takes like Joe Sheehan on twitter saying the owners are at fault because they could end the lockout at any time if they give in to the players' demands. No shit, sherlock. The players could do the same.
  9. I enjoyed Murderville.
  10. I'm getting a bit perturbed with the twitter echo chamber shilling for the Union during this.
  11. Too lazy to bump Chaz's vaxxed and relaxed post but I'm there now.
  12. I will admit that music isn't my cup of tea.
  13. One could say that, but it isn't like draft money goes unspent. Revenue sharing (and tying draft picks to revenue sharing) does create some f'ed up incentives though.
  14. It's also less tanking for a pick... tanking for pool money is more like it.
  15. The Tigers just spent five years doing it.
  16. The real reason for drafts is to reign in costs. There's no cynicism about it. That's the straight up history of the draft and the reason it exists.
  17. The Draft Lottery presented by Roman.
  18. Consider the source
  19. So the Media Bias Chart has Rogan's podcast left of center. All over the damn map, but very low on the reliability scale.
  20. So many getting infected. Don't they recommend waiting a few months after infection to get boosted?
  21. Agreed
  22. I've probably moved to the center not the left. I've voted for Republicans as recently as down ballot 2016. I don't embrace a lot of the left wing ideology, but Trump's emergence and the loons in his wake have exposed a lot of the right wing ideology as fraudulent. I like to call out nonsense on all sides, since irrational polarization is at the core of our problems right now.
  23. My biggest issue with them sending the tests out is the false negative rate of antigen tests. For example, I talked to a friend who was feeling a bit under the weather before Christmas, fully vaxxed and boosted. Took a rapid antigen before flying up to visit family, negative. After landing, felt awful, got a PCR and was positive, quarantined and didn't expose family. N=1 anectdote, but I've spoken to many others whose antigen didn't detect their eventual covid.
  24. Hulu
  25. I am sure the nominee will be qualified, but that doesn't make the Democrats' obsession with identity politics any less icky to me. Don't both sides me on this as obviously the GOP has their own issues here. I think it just drives back to using data analysis, and demographic data is just what they have to play with.
