    and there is always that level of misdirection between a guy (esp a collegiate) who is attractive because he has a very 'mature' game but in reality is already at his ceiling and ends up not making it, and a guy (esp a prep) who has a lot of holes in his game but still ends up closing all those holes and hitting the higher ceiling.

    When it comes to RCC strictures, I'd say 'guilt' is in the eye of beholder, but her name was Margie. Much like the character in "of Human Bondage" Merton had a passion that his disciplines still did not free him of.

    Yes - in the US I think we've come to conflate political liberty with personal freedom and they are not the same thing. I think that without doubt there are things higher on the hierarchy of meaning than personal freedom.

    Not to worry, If third party reports are accurate Merton didn't either. 😉

    I remember U Minn being a real PITA, fighting the expansion on the north side of the river. I thought it was a really bad look for what should be a progressive institution. It was basically an extortion play for a bigger payoff.

    he wanted his best D on the infield.

    Plus you have who knows how many thousand parking spaces at Mall of America right on the rail line. That's what worked best for us.

    spot on.

    He needs that golden parachute into a GOP lobbying gig.

    Target sits on 8 acres in Minneapolis, but the only reason that works is because very close along the one side is the commuter rail line so everyone who goes that way just gets a on a train - there doesn't need to be any other infrastructure on that entire side, and of course that also hugely cuts the need for parking. I can't imagine how you could make 9 acres work in Vegas.

    a lot of people have lost a lot of money doing that, but I agree sooner or later it's going to be the right play!

    Selling the team seems to be the only end game

    Job numbers were good this month but I just met two 30 somethings in IT, both just laid off, both in that great red maga state of Tx where supposedly business is great.

    this is probably still a good idea. Blind squirrel trope applies.

    FAFO

    should have been "odds"

    odd apparently against it

    Vest gets out of it but probably guarantees he's not pitching tomorrow.

    make that 8

    Playing Cle = bullpen envy.

    BP walks two in the inning. Yeesh....

    Petry, ya know, really terrible with, ya know the verbal tic tonight, ya know? Hard to believe a guy who takes his work seriously, which supposedly Dan does, can't quash that.

    Too late to move Anderson, he's batting 111 for July 🤯 (Akron walked him 5 times in 15 PA in a three games series so the 111 BA goes with a 400 OBP 🤣)

    The years of control is where the value is. Performance wise he does K a ton but he's also started to walk a lot of guys, which is always a warning sign about a guy's long term predictability. You'd almost rather take a high K high BB guy on shorter term at less cost/risk than Miller would be.

    speaking of 'finally', have they released any statement about Cobb? He had a couple of short outings and then nada. He threw for WM on June 6 which means his rehab assignment is about expired but his Tiger MLB page says nothing about going back to the IL. Also Lange in 5 MiLB outings has 8K 1BB 1R, FB has been 95~96. Has not worked two days back to back yet.
