Also, if they have some kind of table set up handing out paper, joke's on them. It's off-and-on 30-40 mph winds here today.

There were some people setting up some kinda Trump stand in the Publix parking lot this morning. I yelled at them at the top of my lungs "TRUMP IS A FASCIST." It didn't accomplish anything, but it was cathartic.

Is that Lunetta's (Director, Minor League Operations) role? Or is it a backfill for Garko after his promotion?

You realize if a right leaning poll is added to the mix they adjust, right? Like if they have Rasmussen +3R and Rasmussen comes in +5R, the model adjusts the input to +2R and reduces its overall weighting on top of that.

Well, I was cherry picking back, looking at two high quality pollsters though. Here's Silver's page for recent Wisconsin polls. This doesn't look like a "rest easy" situation. Noting that the right wing polls are filtered out. He actually ran a sim this week without those polls which showed better for Trump, showing that the partisan adjustment is doing its job.

The models that have Trump as a very slight favorite at the moment have partisan lean adjustments for polls an devalue low quality polls. Quinnipiac and Emerson College had Trump up in Wisconsin this week. Emerson had Trump up in Pennsylvania. Quinnipiac had Trump up 3.5 in Michigan. Quinnipiac had Trump up 6 in Georgia. I could keep going. It's not just right wing polls. My theory is the misinformation on hurricanes is gaining traction, which is a little ****ed up if so.

I'm troubled by the polls the last week or two. Despite the cherry picked ones here telling another story.

As somebody with a family member going through dementia it was triggering when the right was flippantly playing the dementia card earlier this year, making jokes about it. Same is true of the left right now.

That someone already dove in the comments.

I mean Bally is a Casino, so this is basically the same thing.

I heard my new favorite columnist was on CNN last night. The way she stuck to facts while being barraged by smug from O'Leary and that Jennings character. Oh, and Bunk is on this panel for some reason? https://youtu.be/OwignVX4loI?feature=shared

Detroiters is on Netflix.

Buehler has Flaherty 2.0 written all over him.

I think the Tigers #3 starter next year is pitching tonight.

Rates and Barrells threw out Yandy Diaz as a Tigers trade candidate...

My quick and dirty 40 man math...

I came across something recently that suggest players who rely on speed and athleticism but have recurring soft tissue leg/core issues are more likely to age faster. I think it was BA.

I just can't help but notice the team went on its best run in 40 years after it shed about $60M in salary (full year, not prorated; including IL-ing Baez).

This is lost on people who think the only way to improve a team is to spend on free agents, but you are onto something here. This isn't to say the team shouldn't dip into free agency, but they need to be selective and do research on the soft factors before adding somebody to the mix.

It's a good ad, but would have done well not to drop a "goddamn" at the end of it.

I will get pedantic and say it was 6 games against the White Sox that Boston didn't have. The above implies Boston didn't get to play them at all, when they got them 7 times.
