I'd guess when they made the schedule they wanted to make sure to capture a high gate day on the holiday but SD has drawn well enough it didn't make that much difference. They had 45K yesterday but are averaging 40K anyway.

Does the point finally come when the only fair thing to do is send in a Seal team and extract Maduro to Gitmo? Does the rest of the world have some kind of obligation to save the well being of the population of what was once close to a 1st world country from being completely destroyed? Same argument as Iraq I suppose, but does it make a difference that Maduro's junta is still far less well organized or funded than the Baathists or even Isis? Not easy questions.

LOL - I loved Inception. I thought Oppenheimer was very good but occasionally it seem to hit the wrong note tone wise. Came into the middle of Tenet one night and just had to give up....Though I suppose that would have been true of Inception as well. My daughter loved Dark Knight but I pretty much dislike all superhero/super villain movies.

the team mostly looks homer crazy - they need to reign it in and just get some hits. Jace Jung on a 1 for 15. Keith was 0 for 18 before the single in the 9th.

it's getting to where that isn't uncommon either.

100 mph off the bat but wrong inclination

I think I hear the fat lady singing....

does Riley catch that?

no magic tricks in Hinch's bag tonight.

Local fans might fall for the 'they're just not showing the playbook' line but I doubt the handicappers do.

Tiger production crew are such amateurs. Can't get a mic for JK, and they haven't gotten the crowd sound volume mix right yet.

the approach is all wrong - other than Vierling and Meadows. When a guy throws everything but the kitchen sink but only has 94 you have to stay back and play for contact and the tigers are mostly going big swing.

He was trying to throw over Tatis. We've seen umps call interference for less but no such luck today.

brainfart by Hanifee. Gotta know when the play isn't there.

This one is quite the snoozefest so far...

Next two batters are RH, this should be it for Holton.

I don't suppose UPS has ever been a big sponsor?

maybe give him a pass on taking the very first pitch of the day, but he better not take any more middle-middle at 94.

IDK, seems unlikely a guy with Decker's seniority has never played against a rookie before. Or maybe he just never prepped properly under the old regimes......🤷‍♀️

Carping from Kelly?

Not only the rhetoric, but just that he can speak about real life in ways Trump just doesn't have any experience about and Vance has lost any remembrance of. Another one the other day was someone put up a clip of Harris in a kitchen and she cracked an egg into the mixing bowl with one hand. How can middle American not love a pol who can also crack an egg one-handed?

I though Warren showed some decent accuracy short and mid-range and plenty of zip. If they give him time and someone else besides Loveland steps up and gets open he could do some damage, but as of now Mullings is the indispensable man. Lose him and they are in deep do-do. And if Orji can't complete at least a few more passes, the QB rotation will quickly get pointless.

It's hard to know if he just has an animal instinct for or if he actually works out his rhetoric but this is an example of something Trump does which is quite clever - he hides an invalid premise/assumption behind a question that has a more reasonable answer. No, no-one has ever heard of being indicted for interfering with an election - but the false premise at work here which is implicit is that you've never heard of it because it has happened but no-one has been indicted, when of course the truth is you haven't heard of it not because someone shouldn't be indicted but because it simply never happened before. So the outrageous get glossed in what appears to be a reasonable compliant. This technique is one way he is able to appear to normalize things which should never pass for normal. And, really, I don't think it's any conscious intellectual effort. I imagine is just another reflection of his narcissism and the projection that entails. Since he projects all his behaviors on others, the idea that he is unique in trying to upset an election doesn't occur to him, thus it's normal and thus to him it appears he must be being singled out for prosecution.

One second thought though - to be fair there is nothing wrong with trying to shame people into more socially responsible behavior, that's actually not a bad role for the gov, and if it works a little it is a better long term outcome than more market regulation would be in places where it's not really a good idea.

Ironically, if you look at Sweeney's early scouting reports, they were that he was a 'bat first' guy who it was assumed could not stay at short. At this point that has turned around. His range, hands and arm have proven out to be at least average at SS but as he has moved up the weaknesses in his bat have come to the fore: can he get the ball off the ground enough, cover enough of the zone, and can he hit LHP enough to ever play everyday?
