  1. We need to make sure we don't forget the rule changes last year. The PPI picks are no joke and why Tork was on the opening day roster, and why Greene would have been, so Avila not being into manipulation isn't why Tork got the call. Those PPI picks, ironically, may keep some players who emerged this year down until September so teams can potentially cash in on their prospect eligibility. The only reason to hold Malloy down is to keep him from Super 2 in 2026, and I'm not sure he is of the caliber that you need to worry about that. I just think he legitimately needs to work on his defense, and that is something box score scouting is not going to be able to suss out.
  2. A lot of well hit balls right at guys. I'm not panicking.
  3. He's given up on the spray paint hair, I see.
  4. I believe Myers just got off the COVID-IL, and having gone through that last summer, I can confirm the brain fog is real.
  5. Had to take an airport shuttle to my car yesterday (on-site parking wasn't available when I flew out). My car is in the very back of the lot, 13th stop. The first stop once we get into the lot, these two sketchy looking guys bring on this 10 foot long padlocked case that says it has a gun in it. Call it following the news too much or what, but I got the hell off on the second stop and walked the half mile to the back of the lot rather than ride the shuttle because I really felt like a sitting duck if they wanted to unlock that thing.
  6. Ah, Larry David, thank you for explaining that there were only two ways for Spencer Turnbull to injure his neck.
  7. None of them are worth losing sleep over.
  8. I don't know that there are any minor leaguers in the system that if traded for a 2023 piece would be ill-advised.
  9. There was a 2019 follow up by the same author making some of these points but pointing out the uncertainty. I do stand by the reason I sought it out, though. Gluten free does not help prevent diabetes, but people think it does.
  10. Re: Antivirus software... Since I was already subscribing to NYT and The Athletic, I just bundled it all together and got Wirecutter so was able to see this: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/guides/online-security-built-in-antivirus-software/ https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/best-antivirus/
  11. I've had multiple people (not credentialed, so I don't listen to them) tell me to eat gluten free when I mention my prediabetes. So.. pet peeve here is bad nutrition advice spreading through society. Also, a good read on how insidious this is: https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/risks-of-a-gluten-free-diet/
  12. Carpenter and Kreidler's returns from injury seem like obvious checkpoints here...
  13. Windows' built-in tools cover any and all security needs these days. Anything else is just bloatware.
  14. Gotcha... I figured Mandel was involved since he was a common link between Veep and Curb.
  15. What is the link to those shows aside from airing on the same network?
  16. The discourse needs more Bob Kendricks.
  17. Copying my tweet here. Not saying this is the ONLY reason, but similar to Max and Porcello in 2010, this at least gives you an excuse.
  18. Two mild ones, although i forget exactly when Harding kicked the bucket re: the first one.
  19. MLB.TV adding the capability to overlay the radio feed on TV Broadcasts has been a gamechanger. I really like Scales with Dickerson, but agree the two Dan's work together as well.
  20. Why is this event getting so much damn attention?
  21. I'll just pat myself on the back for being much higher on it than the consensus.
  22. The answer:
  23. Actually two recessions started under Nixon. Ford inherited the latter one thus gets the full-term exclusion. Nixon served a full term and would be eligible. His resignation occurred during his second term.
  24. No... I count the depression as a recession.
