MLB can’t market convicted cheaters. They don’t have to think about marketing managers.

Ratko has it right. Matt Shaw is ready.

That’s fine, we need more whiff in the pen.

I practically got a boner reading this part of the story, especially the second paragraph: “I think every team pitches you on that idea,” Cobb said of improvement through adjustments. “I think what separates Detroit is the fact that I know Scott [Harris], his background, and I have talked to other free agents, people that have gone through the process with them that said it was different here. “I haven't gotten into it with them yet; I’m excited too. But [others] suggest that it is not the same as the pitch that other teams give you, that their data’s a little bit different and they have the staff that knows how to take that and translate it into an athlete’s terms of understanding.” This is exactly the kind of thing I have wanted for my franchise for 25 years!

In marketability terms, he doesn’t need the numbers because he’s guaranteed employment until he’s 40. In self-esteem terms, this will probably be a big problem for him. I’m coming around to believing that it came down to “I’m the Man”, which he never could be under Aaron Judge’s thumb.

The populist idea of democracy has been reduced to pulling a lever every four years, or, if you’re more ambitious, every two years. That’s because “actually, we’re a republic”.

All six of these things are related.

They want you to get used to the worsening because that means you'll give up on wanting better, you'll be easier to manage, and they can pocket the money they might normally invest in the product to make things better for you. It's a core capitalist value.

I don't know what they are, but those aren't liberals you're talking about. I know this because I am a liberal, and rejecting science and vaccines and embracing holistic alternative medicine horsehit was never a core liberal value. Only right wingers who hate liberals think liberals are typically that. I can prove that to you: Trump's embrace of RFK Jr proves he's no liberal.

Proto-red hats escaping the liberal hellhole that is Missouri? 😉😁

So much for "don't be evil". 😕

I swear they’re going to outlaw vaccines entirely. Probably make them all Schedule I narcotics.

I'm sorry, are you saying here that Google Photos syncs to Apple iCloud and you can't decouple them? Do I have that straight? What's the business connection here?

Yeah, that whole $35/month thing they came out with was always intended to be hit of the dope. We've never left DirecTV. We pay a lot more money than cobbling together multiple streaming services, but we can afford it, and it sure is darn convenient.

They don't want to publicly commit, or else been seen talking to you. One or the other. 😁

Are those columnists for Daily Wire? Good-looking bunch. Although this particular group shot has their heads buried in the wrong hole.

Sure, he can't stop walking you, but he can sure punch you out, and we could use that at the back of this bullpen.

Shaming me about that very thing on the old board was pretty effective in getting me to vet my content more carefully before putting it in Investing.

I don’t think this is an exact proxy for fandom by state, but it is close-ish. I would expect the Yankees in, I guess, in an “unclaimed” state like Wyoming and even Nebraska, only Omaha of which is tied in anyway to the Royals. And you would expect them in Florida, because Florida. But how about the Yankees in TN, NC, and SC, states that are contiguous to Georgia, home of the unoffical capital of the region? And I might have thought the New Mexico might have been solidly Diamondbacks, but then, it’s probably one of the lesser baseball states in general. Amd Astros in Alaska? Wouldna thought that.

White men FTW! 💩

We will all quickly learn why that won’t matter to red hats. The proper rhetoric is being formulated in the lab and distilled to the field as we speak.

There is always use for “tools” to run the machines, do the paperwork, and sweep the floors.

The hypothesis is that Nancy Mace fabricated a physical attack on herself by a phantom trans male advocate from the state most objectionable to red hats, then outed herself by replying to someone else in thread by referring to herself in the third person, forgetting to switch to her burner X account before doing so.

A more efficient facilitator of classified information transfer to the Kremlin?
