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.

Repeat after me. Akil Baddoo and Alex Lange are not eligible for arbitration (unless they mysteriously got days of service for days in the minor leagues).

11M, $1M assignment bonus to be paid by the acquiring team.

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

If you don't have 43 minutes, take 53 to read this tweet.

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.

How are we both baseball nuts when baseball decided to go on strike during our Age 9 Seasons?

Mize wasn't on the DS roster.

Indeed he was.

Gonna leave this here. I was tracking this over the course of the series, and didn't know until tonight that the Guardians actually hired the guy who found this effect. In game 4, I flagged Holton vs. Ramirez and Brieske vs. Fry. If guys like Holton, Brieske, and Vest started leaking oil toward the end of the series, it may be this effect. https://www.theringer.com/mlb/2023/10/27/23935127/world-series-preview-texas-rangers-arizona-diamondbacks-bullpens-repeat-reliever-effect

Gonna go on a limb and say 2020, haha.
