    Alex Lange and Jason Foley will make all the difference.

    My understanding is that everything that has been done since the beginning of the pandemic has been done largely to prevent hospitals from exceeding capacity. So, getting vaccinated is for your own good and the good of everyone else. I really wish that hospitalization trends were presented more often rather than just cases (which isn't very useful) and deaths. Whether or not people will need to get vaccinated every year will probably depend on how many people are projected to get seriously ill. If it becomes "like the flu" then they probably won't require annual vaccinations.

    Republicans want more "election security", because they tend to do better when voter turnouts are smaller. If they benefitted from larger turnouts, you wouldn't hear them talk about "election security".

    True, But I think that might be a separate problem. If the goal is to get the game back to one where the ball is in play more often, I think a deader ball would do that. I don't know that the problem of fragile pitchers has ever been solved. That might be something biomechanical versus style of play.
  5. Tiger337
    Hasn't it always been that way? We just know when someone is injured now because they have surgery. Before surgery, pitchers would get sore arms and become ineffective and/or disappear.

    What I want is fewer strikeouts and fewer home runs. I think deadening the ball would do that. Of course, that won't happen because they don't want fewer home runs.

    That kind of lame gaslighting does not work in this forum. January 6 was not the day he incited the riot. That started on election day. What he did on January 6 was encourage protestors to gather at a place where he knew a riot was planned. You'd have to be pretty dumb to believe he didn't know what was going to happen. In fact, he tweeted about choas at the captol two weeks before. He was 100% guilty and there is no defense.

    I will admit that telling Trump to be quiet is always good advice.

    Imagine losing 78 to 19 and thinking that you won.

    Pipeline has him listed as the Tigers 23rd best prospect, but he has troubles with command. I think they just like writing his name.

    What he did at the end of his presidency disqualifies him from any discussion of the merits of any of his policies. You can't openly try to steal an election and incite a riot and then expect people to sit around and discuss whether anything he did before that was OK. Let's stop pretending he was OK.

    Trump has no principles. He has no morals. He is a con man and has been for over 40 years. He is a digraceful human being who doesn't give a crap about this country or anything else but his own self interests. It's a shame that so many have fallen for his act. And what he did at the end absolutely shows that his self interests collide with the US.
  13. Tiger337
    He doesn't have a lot of material to work with.
  14. Tiger337
    It was probably part of his plan.

    I don't think most voters expected Biden to be a dynamic leader. They voted for him because he's not Trump. He's doing a good job not being Trump. It would be pretty near impossible to be worse than Trump

    I think players will be more likely to gamble if it is not taboo just like they were more likely to take PEDs before it became taboo. The bigger issue is there will be a lot more non-players gambling and lot more different types of bets which opens up the door for really wealthy gamblers with big stakes pressuring players to do unethical things. At the very least, it is no longer possible to trust MLB to consider the games best interests given their complete change of stance on gambling. Not that we could trust them a lot before that, but now it's completely gone.
  17. Tiger337
    I think MLB going from an environment of completely banning gambling and considering it the game's biggest taboo to openly encouraging gambling could change player's behavior.
  18. Tiger337
    And we know that wealthy people never do corrupt things.

    Here's something different. The Orioles want to DECREASE home runs. Most teams have been trending in the opposite direction in recent years.
  20. Tiger337
    They are also actively partnering with gambling organizations who might have some ideas of what baseball should do. I am not a gambler, so I am curious what kind of game gamblers would want (beyond pace of game). Do they like the home runs and strikeouts or would they prefer more action? Do they even care?
  21. Tiger337
    I think he might cravck if the media ignored him, but they like to give him attention as much as he likes to receive it.
  22. Tiger337
    They haven't done anything yet.
  23. Tiger337
    They have been talking about speeding it up. They could go in another direction if they decide that something else is more profitable. If they are going to have in game prop bets, it just seems like slower would be better.
  24. Tiger337
    It would be the same amount of action. However, with more dead time, there is more time for gamblers to make bets, so speeding up the game might not be profitable.
  25. Tiger337
    Yeah, I know who he's talking about. Judging people's opinions based strictly on what country they are from is a strange way to go through life.
