  1. Or they can just de-emphasize the W/L statistic. What is the point of awarding a win when a pitcher only goes 4 innings?
  2. The game is not slower because of gambling. The suggestion was that owners might not push as hard for faster paced games if they found it wasn't beneficial for gambling. There is no doubt that gamblers have become the big new target audience. It is possible that gamblers don't care about the pace of the game though.
  3. And if his plan for you is not a good one, you will burn in hell.
  4. Well, he already pressed the inflation button. Anything is possible.
  5. I am not sure whether this is a good or bad result of the pitch clock:
  6. Police reform is not a radical idea like defunding the police. I think there are many centered Democrats who would like to make reforms to law enforcement. I don't think any reasonable person wants to actually defund the police which is what conservatives imply when mocking liberals.
  7. Why are MAGAs so giddy about Elon Musk potentially buying Twitter? He's not a MAGA supporter or some champion of "free speech". If he took over Twitter, he would make decisions which mazimized his profits. That's all it is.
  8. But the rest of the Democratic party doesn't care about the far left and actually seems to resent them. It's not like the Republican party where the far right seems to have become the party.
  9. No, they aren't. That is protestors doing that, not people who make laws.
  10. Corey Seager intentionally walked with the bases loaded. Trout is confused
  11. I bet it will still be around next year and I still won't watch it.
  12. If they get one ace out of this group, it's a win. I would consider your scenario a success.
  13. So, can we assume that he sprained it in his last start? When you sprain something, you usually know it right away and I don't think he could continue pitching.
  14. I have had sprains before so I know what they are. You can sometimes get a sprain from getting hit, but impact wasn't the best word to use. I should hasve said "acute". Sprains are usually acute as opposed to something chronic. So, a sprain might cause some damage that is not directly related to pitching and it might heal. A strain sounds like something that is caused by the repetitive motion of pitching. Either way, it's not good news.
  15. Pineda will step in for Mize and Alexander deservedly stays in the rotation. The problem of course is long-term. "Sprain" sounds more like an impact injury rather than one caused by repetitive movement, but who knows. I always fear the worst with pitcher injuries.
  16. I would not bank on improvement from Baddoo either, but remember he is still very raw. He never played AA or AAA, missed most of 2019 because of TJ surgery and no minor leaguers played in 2020. He could still grow a lot as a player.
  17. "Hit the ball where no one is". I have been told that hitters can't do that and that's why it's impossible to beat the shift.
  18. Biden is having typical elderly cognitive slow down, but I see no signs of Dementia. Trump actually was given a dementia test, so we can assume that doctors thought he might be showing signs. I think his mental health problems and general unfitness are something other than dementia though. I do not know anyone in office who specifically has dementia, but there are several who lack either the intelligence or sanity or both to be fit for office. Since the only other defeated president still alive is Jimmy Carter, I will assume that he is your favorite defeated president.
  19. There are several prominent Republicans who are obviously more unfit than Biden including your favorite defeated president
  20. I would have been rooting for them to leave him in, but I understand why they didn't.
  21. Also pictured in the photo was little known Ron Cash who batted .400 in 39 AB for the Tigers as a rookie. You can bet my 10-year old self got excited about his future.
  22. Those ads were ubiquitous. I always thought the kids lined up taking the exact same swing together looked kind of creepy.
