  1. AOC is as close as we have here. Boebert is hot, but too trashy. I don't know Mallory McMarrow.
  2. Why do we not get candidates like that in the United States? Most of our politicians look like her grand dad.
  3. 2020 stats don't mean much to me and he has had everything wrong physically in 2022. 2019 and 2021 are the best markers for what he can do and If he can go mid way between those two years, it would be great. I wouldn't call a 120 OPS+ ambitious, but I undertsand that his health is a concern.
  4. They could at least re-write it in 21st Century English.
  5. Carlton was going through a rough stretch in Toledo this year, but he has a good track record and his k/bb ratio is good even this year. He is fine as your 13th pitcher.
  6. Just like today's game all around baseball!
  7. Another terrible idea is California giving money to people to fight inflation. Is that really happening?
  8. Trump on Musk: "You can't bullshit a bullshit artist". You actually can though. BS artists are actually more open to BS than others.
  9. His lifetime wRC+ is 120. He has a wRC+ of 100 this year with zero home runs His Zips projection for the rest of the season is 132. This is pretty high, but other projection systems have him around 120. There is no ZIPS projection for 23, 24 but his OPS projection suggests about 120 OPS+or more. I don't think 120 sounds ambitious if he is healthy.
  10. That photo even made it to The Boston Globe. Fielder's 1990 season was very memorable as 50 home runs was a really big deal at the time. Fans who only care about making the playoffs won't agree, but I actually though 90-93 was a fun team to watch. They had no pitching, but their offense was explosive.
  11. The only way the 2024 election is not a shit show is if the election is a blow out which rarely happens anymore.
  12. I was talking about baseball in general. It's a very different ball game than it was in the 60s and 70s. I miss a lot of things about the old game such as complete games, but they just are not practical anymore. It's not because current players are weak or pampered. It's because teams can win more games and get more out of their pitchers if they make more use of relief pitchers.
  13. There is no reason for him to retire even if they pay him. He is still reasonably productive and has actually been durable this year. I doubt he'll want to play beyond next year in a part-time role and smaller salary, although Pujols is doing it so you never know.
  14. That could be part of it. There are also smaller parks, better weight training and nutrition, maybe juiced balls. Whatever the reasons, it's no longer practical to have starters pitch complete games.
  15. Video clip of the year.
  16. That's because there were a lot of weak hitters in line-ups allowing pitchers to save their hard stuff for key spots.
  17. Not really offensive. Just out of place. Thanks for removing it before we spiraled into politics.
  18. I agree that the left sometimes hints at violence and they should not do that. The right doesn't hint. They come right and say it now. The glorification of guns is a big problem too. If pro gun people want to be taken seriously, maybe they could say something like "My right to a gun is important to me, but gun ownership is a very serious responsibility and not everyone is capabable of doing the work necessary to earn that right". That would be a lot better that taking photo ops with guns like Boebert or designing Christmas cards where everyone in the family is holding a gun or creating ads where they shoot their political opponents.
  19. When they get shot by the weapons of today, do you even recognize that it's a person?
  20. Carlson is doing it because he's being paid to do it.
  21. I believe you are right. And it actually makes some sense not to tell the pitcher.
  22. I didn't say it though. I said BROADCASTERS should say it. Chasfh was the one who said it. Blame him!
  23. Broadcasters should tell us what is happening. Leave the traditional jinx stuff to the ballplayers.
  24. They should be.
