so who is left? Hurter, Hanifee?

it's gonna rain.

I'll feel bad if we contribute to Kelly getting fired as manager, but AJ can always bring him back on the staff here.....and there is no crying in baseball.

jake definitely plays better after he is dissed here. 🤷‍♂️

Hernandez probably looked good because IIRC, he faced 4 right hand hitters. He problem has been that he is being torched by lefthanders - 990 OPS against. He's been decent against RHB (715 OPS against). A pitcher with platoon splits like that is not going to be so attractive with the 3 hitter rule. I assume the brain trust has something in mind for him to throw to LHB.

I'm sure it didn't help his attitude today when in commenting on the benching ESPN noted that Nick is -137 Rdrs for his career. 😳

"Original Intent" only and all.

>>Half evangelicals support for end-times prophecy This is just about the single most dangerous piece of American political dysfunction.

Easy game one, series win booked, they're playing with house money against Skenes. At least they should be loose.

but they forecasting rate cuts for the current period they haven't made? The fact they they still think inflation may drop doesn't mean they will cut rates if it doesn't or if employment stays strong. This has been a very conservative, go slow FED group. I don't expect that to change either way.

It also doesn't hurt that Sal Perez is apparently an absolute salt of the earth guy. You can say it doesn't matter, but it always does.

Maybe the some of that Abu Dhabi money that's buying the Lakers will be left over.

plus 40% chance of a shower after 5p

You can produce all the videos you want extolling the virtue of learning from experimental failure, but blowing the whole thing up, repeatedly, is a lot worse than normal experimental failure. They don't have the design of this thing adequately analyzed if they are this many iterations in and still can't keep it in one piece. Major faults that would destroy the whole system should be found in the component testing phase - which is I'd guess is where they are short cutting. It can be expensive creating good subsystem test rigs.

yup - there is *always* a tweet.

they are pretty terrible, the woman doing color is talking, the guy just walks over her with the PBP, she doesn't stop, but her voice just sort of trails off under his. They don't seem to have any coordination for not stepping on each other.

The fight in the party could be interesting. So much of he energy and talent is women, but I don't think there is any doubt that there will be real twice burned, thrice shy reaction to deal with if a woman emerges as the favorite. It's just human nature.

has turned into a nice gentle Spring rain here, but you couldn't play ball in it...

so you have to raise money to buy the team, then you have to raise more money to build a ballpark? Good luck.

I think the historical society story had to be talking about a ground level scoreboard if it was moved because hitters complained. The scoreboard that was above the bleachers was modified/expanded a bunch of times over the years but was above of the batter's eye and was never reported as an issue for hitters. Tiger Stadium was always considered to have a good hitting backgound. As I recall the center of the lower deck CF bleachers were often left empty for that reason in later years - and probably also because they were terrible seats!

yeah it's a balance between the product of two low probabilities vs the product of one more moderate and one apparently very low probability. 🤷‍♂️

From the Pirate's perspective, better one win than risk the sweep. From the Tigers perspective, as the home team that gets the gate, two games with a big draw is better than one, esp since tonight was probably already a sell out for Skubal, and with game one of the series in the W column, they are still good of they take 2 of 3.

Because approval by the leadership of the party means that woman is 'OK'. The personality profile that draws one to the conservative side is by nature more amenable to acceptance of the judgement of authority.

After digging around a bit, the devil here could be in the details. There have been a few specialty areas like nuclear power plants, where chrysotile asbestos use is still allowed. The EPA has begun/is beginning (not sure of the dates) a phase down on those. Reversing that might be all they are talking about and wouldn't be a change from the status quo. As bad as this admin is, it doesn't help when opposition media run with a hair on fire story that then turns out to be less than it appeared. I don't know if that is the case here but it happens enough I wouldn't exclude the possibility without more detail than social media supplies.

Where does he even get this stuff? Bringing back Mesothelioma is going to make America great again? Asbestos has been pretty successfully replaced everywhere it was ever used and no-one is the worse for it. But it's Trump, and even if he did reverse the controls, who would be fool enough to open an asbestos mine? Then again, they still mine the stuff in Russia so maybe he's just in the tank for another buddy of Putin.
