  1. He should but it will be Quartaro because the Royals exceeded expectations
  2. He certainly has a type
  3. What is with his accent? It's like Ann Coulter/William F Buckley with a tinge of even snobbier.
  4. I've been youtubing old norm macdonald videos lately. One weekend update joke from 1996. "Donald Trump announced he won 20 million dollars betting on Evander Holyfield. Trump said he went public with his winnings in case there are a few people left who don't hate him."
  5. Winning 2 out of 3 the rest of the way is 85-77. That ain't enough. The target needs to be 87 plus.
  6. Hey now, McKinstry is up to 2 now.
  7. Yep. I saw that, but did kind of want to amplify in case people were making plans to catch a Wild Card game or two in Detroit.
  8. Take the odds of making the playoffs and halve them. Don't forget the lower seed in the Wild Card round doesn't get any home games. Gonna have to get past the Astros first.
  9. I believe it is as simple as the minor league season lengths are collectively bargained now. I don't have the text of it, but from the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/4377736/2023/04/03/minor-league-baseball-cba-union/
  10. 8 years ago this was my conspiracy theory, but in that time I've learned that conspiracies involve a lot of smart people keeping secrets and executing a plan (shout out Conan O'Brien for pointing that out, of all people). New theory is that there are just so many ways to easily monetize extremism, and that's what they've been doing.
  11. It's the best way to handle trolls. What Bush could do build a following off of quote tweeting all the stupid stuff they say, amplifying them, and thereby helping them, while using the blue checkmark to profit off of it. To each their own. Flipkowski is a stain. But he and I can high five after we got the shoutout from Kamala last night. Pierogis for all.
  12. I dispute this narrative Springfield is a small town. As a Ohio Senator he should know that.

  14. Thank you Keider Montero for letting me watch this self immulation.
  15. Indiana's going 4-8 this year. Hopefully Kamala Harris does not.
  16. She dodged her first question. A softball. Four years ago was covid, we are better off.
  17. Welp, the Tigers game going as it did may have changed my plans.
  18. A recent example of a "too left-handed" team was the 2022 Dbacks. They promoted LHH Corbin Carroll full time next season, but traded LHH Daulton Varsho for RHH Gabriel Moreno. In 2022, they slashed .225/.281/.320 in 617 L/L match-ups. In 2023, .215/.285/320 in 452 such plate appearances. 2024, .235/.308/.359 in 446 PA so far.
  19. Is there a tactful way to peel off some votes using the climate card with the extreme drought conditions in OH/PA appalachia?
  20. Wrong thread
  21. Sportrac is rarely accurate.
  22. No. Baseball will be on. My mind is made up, and the sound of Trump's voice gives me convulsions.
  23. I don't know if this is worth monitoring, but it may be interesting. That pitch that hit Greene got him in his Tommy John elbow.
  24. I mean, I admire him for his stance there, but I guess one has to draw the line somewhere.
  25. I'm always a bit skeptical of charts like this. I'll give a tangentially related example. One can dive through the finances of Big Ten athletic departments. When you do that, you may see that different schools classify things different ways. For example, one school may include all ticketing revenue in one category while others break it up by sport. So if somebody goes and automates the data that comes out of there, it may show they don't make any ticket revenue from football. I don't know enough about gambling and where it is legal. I do know that quickly pulling data from ambiguous financial documents and assuming uniformity can give some weird results that can then be thrown into a chart and virally shared on the socials.
