Sarah Longwell made a point on a podcast recently that while abortion isn't always listed as a top issue for voters in surveys, at least in the focus group setting, when you peel back the layers of the onion a bit, people end up displaying a lot of passion and intensity around it. I suspect that's a little of what's at play here.... when the rubber meets the road and when people step into the ballot box, it's something that manfiests.

I have to go back and look at the Derek Law game from a couple of years ago, but I'm pretty sure Law committed an error in his game too lol

At least Michael Tonkin's ERA went up after this outing (he achieved Derek Law status in the last game - 5 runs, 0 earned)

I knew I was missing someone.

Fun fact: Miller has pitched in each of their extra inning games, and even with the runner on 2nd rule, still has a 0.00 ERA.

The win in this one feels big, because the Tigers did manage to hold back Faedo and Vest, so they'll at least have a couple of unspent bullets. The Mets do not have any because they used almost all of them, save Reed Garrett (lol).

Shelby earned the big bucks today

Angel gifted Nimmo a free ball there too.... just as I was thinking he was figuring this **** out lol

Yeah, AJ's done a really masterful job with the bullpen today.... the Mets, not so much lol

Too bad they can't face Michael Tonkin every inning... damn

That's a huge couple of runs

COLT!

Yeah, Miller gives up more fly balls, he's ideal for that situation

It feels like the Mets gave that inning away....

Surprised they pulled Edwin Diaz here....

In the words of the late Jimmie P..... "Wow"

Just my two cents, but there's a tendency in the larger discussion to rate issues where the ground is more favorable to the GOP as more important versus those that favor Dems (specifically Dobbs).... and we've seen multiple off-Presidential cycles where that particular issue was downplayed and where, when the votes were counted, it mattered a lot more than people expected it would. Whether that extends to a Presidential cycle remains to be seen, but you would think that folks would be a little more careful than to casually dismiss the importance of that issue.

Not anymore!

Tork hasn't been good, but it needs to be stated that he's arguably been better than Greene and Colt Keith thus far....

Just Tork?

They can't hide him forever

If Joey wants to stick around, he's going to have to stop falling behind so much...

Probably a good one for Alex Lange too

Can we please get the run home here? lol

Wentz probably gets a lot of run in this one
