Nice

Woah. If this were a Christopher Nolan movie....that's a parlour game I can get behind. First, remove character names unless they are absolutely demanded by the story. Batman? Whose that? Second, take any situation and make it crazily complex but leave giant narrative holes that you fix with "spinning newspaper" level solutions or with camera cuts in which you are to assume that everything ended up fine. Third, expect people to fall for story devices as tired as "she had three psychiatrists declare her sane before she committed suicide and blamed me for her murder" Fourth, use your gravitas as a director to hire actors so talented that it fixes a lot of the top three problems. I love me some Christopher Nolan but the problems with Christopher Nolan movies can be a lot of fun to unpack.

This news been broke

Lynn is doing a lot of long-distance analysis. I don't know if he's plugged in anymore.

I don't think they need to be blown up. I think they need a new GM and a new hitting coach. Although what does a hitting coach do besides tell them to bend their knees. (sarcasm) If he were one really tuned into the tech, he'd be telling them to assess what pitchers are doing to get them out. He'd be working with Tork on swinging more aggressively earlier in the count. They seem like they have been going from chaotic episode to chaotic episode this season. Maybe that's AJ's fault but I think the fan base is ready to give AJ a pass because of last season for a little longer. The current owner and GM on the other hand: not so much

Focus on the latter.

The question is if Jake Rogers is that #1

I don’t think we got our money’s worth with Barnhart

we get one? I would have thought the Yankees should have all of them: forever.

sheesh

Dan Quayle of all people could get him to show up.

I concur

I was reading too fast but I at first thought this said that in the first round, the division winner plays the LLWS winner. It would make for quite a spectacle. Get on that Rob Manfred. And be sure to get the bookies and touts to fix the games so the kids have a chance.

The Athletic hit on Al Avila being written by Ken Rosenthal was 1000% done so that junior guy Cody Stavenhagen didn't lose his access.

My colleague was watching that and the Russians he overheard were like "welp, I guess we should break out the clear liquids because our day is over"

The crank UK press has some insane report of a poll in which 8 in 10 UK citizens would take Vladdie up on his offer of free land in Russia and move to Russia. Ok, then... lets see them do that.

My emotional Tigeranon hypothesis: The Union was angry at the Tigers playing around with Riley Greene service time and they sandbagged to protest. Absolutely absurd of course.

Umpires hate Grossman apparently

and tied

well done Javy and Miggy with the unprecedented 1st inning run scoring on the road. I hear that has almost never been done before.

I'll bet Boston has a 4K broadcast for this game and Hacky regional sports net owned by a gambling company won't be providing that quality of broadcast.

Texas GOP: There is the door if you want to vote to leave the US. We'll be coming for NASA, Fort Hood, Fort Bliss, all the Navy and Air Force bases, all the federal contracts for the defense industries. Good luck being Mexico with more white people.

This is what is going to happen Trump and company will blame this guy and try to dodge blame.
