Weapon of mass distraction.

Perhaps it because Hinch thought exposing Skubal for a fourth go through the order would have been worse than bringing in studs Will Vest and Tyler Holton. Plus his four-seamer had lost a couple inches of rise by that time, so it was probably time.

Ask Leo Mazzone.

Grin, duck, and run?

It is a lot better these days because there is meaty baseball news all year round. It wasn’t like that pre-media. You could go weeks and weeks and not get a shred of news on broadcast or in newspapers. You could get subscriptions to the Sporting News or SI or Sport magazine and the like, but anything you read there was already a week old or more. Now, nothing goes five minutes before it lands here.

Is that any worse than starting the season in March?

Mark Simon thinks Riley might get a Fielding Bible Award this offseason. Left Field Fielding Bible Award Favorite: Riley Greene (14) NL Gold Glove Favorite: Ian Happ (8) AL Gold Glove Favorite: Greene Fielding Bible Award Top Contenders: Wyatt Langford (12), Steven Kwan (10), Brandon Marsh (7) Greene, who moved to left field with the emergence of Parker Meadows, starred there, finishing second at the position in the range component of Defensive Runs Saved and boosted his total with 3 home run robberies. Wyatt Langford, who won September's co-Defensive Player of the Month, two-time Fielding Bible Award winner Kwan, and two-time Gold Glove winner Happ should be his toughest competition, as each has a formidable resume as well.

Don't forget the $600 million.

Used to be people would break into other people's houses to steal stuff. Anonymous B&E was fairly common 30 or 40 years ago. Since then, B&E has dropped by 80% or more. That's because criminals figure that every house has two things they didn't have back then: a surveillance camera, and a gun. And even if there is no gun, they'd be made by the camera. So B&E doesn't pay anymore. I think it would be the same if dashcams were standard equipment on new cars, which I can see them becoming in another decade, two tops. You wouldn't see this kind of nonsense, nor would you see people approaching cars to commit mayhem. They'd be made.

Remember at the Kamala rally when she mentioned how Trump picked three justices just so Roe v Wade could be overturned, and the hecklers shouted "Lies! Lies! Lies!", and she directed them down the road to the lesser-attended rally? Here's how it's being played in the RWM. It might have some legs, too.

This is not disabusing me of the notion I've gotten in the past year or two than Trump is at least a little closeted.

Man, I hope you're right, because the closer we get, the more uncertain I am.

Remember: not a genocide.

I don’t know, I think a lot of people are going to find this charming. Not sure it gets him many votes, but I don’t think it’ll lose him any.

Hello, gambling odds on every pitch and winning odds in the score box.

I was excited by the idea that MLB would run the broadcasts with the same nice, clean, look and lack of sketchy corporate flair that they run Arizona’s and San Diego’s and a few others, but, incredibly, an actual worse outcome than just remaining Bally’s was chosen instead.

How about you contact them to tell them what you perceive as being the problem and then offer to help them solve it? I’m being totally serious. They most probably won’t accept, but you never know if you never try. The worst outcome is, you spend a few minutes crafting an email for naught.

I just don’t know how they would justify to their worldwide fan base not re-signing him. Nobody seems to be waving the payroll red flag when they talk about their reuniting this winter.

No matter how carefully you enunciate into the iPhone microphone, you cannot make the text come out as “pitcher”. It is always “picture”.

Hopefully, that would be because Jobe takes a Paul Skenes-type step forward instead of all the other pitchers dropping like flies!

Health is always a wild card for a team. We were really lucky down the stretch that we didn’t lose anybody. Seriously, after Javy went down, almost nobody else went down. Wenceel—that was it. Once Riley came back, we had all our bullets. Not even a pitcher went out! No way can we expect that next year.

Ah I see. Well, we’re not playing right now. 😁 I think it’s probable Jobe could come in as the #4 guy, other things being equal and assuming row FA/trade pickups.

You think Jobe will the #2 starter over Reese and two free agent pickups?

Man, was this ever a hell of a game. Sloppy, swingy, cringey, all of it. Looking forward to the rematch in Detroit in January.
