Damn. I thought we were going to solve gun violence, but now that there's another shooting, we have to wait so as not to politicize it and piss off the snowflakes.

10/15 is new. I think it was supposed to kick in in 2020, but it wasn't used in 2020-21 for Covid reasons. I believe it kicked in last year. It used to be 10 for both, but so many teams were using the IL when a player missed a start, so this makes them have to sit a pitcher for 2 starts.

Have to pass a player through waivers after optioning them five times in a season. A position player has to stay down for 10 days, pitcher for 15, unless coming back up to replace an injury.

You rarely see a starting lineup in AAA. Not just roster flux, but players there tend to move around every game just to get reps at different positions and increase flexibility. Probably too soon to say, though, since I think everybody and their mother expects some waiver action this week.

Stan's back!

Wait til you attend your first game, stay til the end, get home and get to bed on time.

He used to be on here (or MTS) and was just an ass, and really I blocked him because he went sports talk radio in arguments and moved goal posts so often it just made me dumber.

With Sportz showing up in here, this is officially the "Tweets from people I've blocked" thread.

LOL at a sportz tweet showing up in the lunatic thread.

Depends on perspective

The Mets signed David Robertson and acquired Brooks Raley over the offseason. They've amassed some depth.

Two Baptist ministers down here got sentenced to very long prison terms for their relations with minors. Ban churches.

Somebody told me there is an ETF that basically simulates shorting all of Cramer's recommendations.

What is so ridiculous about advocating for masks on airplanes? Fwiw, I think it is far more important in terminals and concourses during peak airborne pandemic times due to the intermingling of people and the engineered ventilation on aircrafts developed after SARS.

There is actually a rule that players added to the 40 man over the offseason can't be optioned until 20 days before the season.

Bold move by Shep being on Twitter...

I had this thought, but the Eagles played 10ish games there a year including postseason and preseason as opposed to 81. I'm not sure this stuff is statistically significant. It would show up in other astroturfs, right? And three times the national average in such a small sample? Well I wouldn't jump to conclusions on that. Other possible causes I'd want ruled out: chewing tobacco, steroids/ped's/supplements, some chemical plant upwind from Veteran's field during the summers, etc...

I enjoy.

I'm planning to retire at 57, but who knows what happens in the next 20 years. Being late to the family game means I've been able to put extra away the past 5-10 years or so. Government pension too... When I crunched the numbers a couple months ago, it was feasible.

LOL at Dingbat ranking Bligh Madris in the Tigers Top 30 two months after being traded. Poor poor BA is stuck with that mess, because she is pretty much unfireable now as long as she plays the C card.

Wouldn't make much of a difference...

FWIW, I assumed it was lab leak all along. China cooking up bioweapons just tracks...

I have an egg head. Masks make my ears hurt because the strap tends to be pretty tights.

Is there a more red herring than the origin of this thing?
