I think that was a good decision to go to the plate by Baez even without the force there. Worst case scenario is we're down 6-0 with 12- and one out, versus 5-0 with 12- and two out. If you're going to maintain any pretense of competing, might as well try to keep the game closer for the bats in the ninth.

I know how we were knk about Lindsey Graham being criminally compromised over little boys, but I'm thinking a more likely thing is that someone has arranged for Lindsey to take Kremlin money on the regular, and now they got him.
I'll be interested to see the degree to which they normalize her, or don't. There is a bit of a danger in interviewing her as a normal person and then filleting her during the rest of the segment.
I saw a self-congratulatory smash clip Brian Kenny put together of him advocating for a pitch clock over the years, and a healthy Sarah Langs was in it, and it was so great to see her like that. I really hope she defies the odds.
