Baez just saved Faedo's bacon to get that last out after Alex walked the bases full, then a run home. Another stellar first round pick coming home to roost. If the Fetter team can't fix him, he might be on his last legs here.

When was the last time Alex Faedo came into a game without getting into trouble in the very first inning he pitches? It's gotta be, like, May since he's had a clean first inning.

I could totally see Netanyahu helping Trump by completing a hostage deal with Hamas. Trump might be telling him to hold off until either October, or during or just after the DNC.

Perhaps they believe they won't have to try because supreme courts will overturn election results in their favor.

I wonder how much of Maeda's issues relate to his contract, specifically, putting pressure on himself to live up to the richest AAV he has ever gotten, and by a long shot.

I think this is right. Her politics goes as far as advocating whatever will help her personally and directly. Everything else is irrelevant.

If you don't know what the other options could be, then you have been willfully ignoring everything they've been doing and saying for the last two years.

I promise you, Ivanka is not a liberal.

I didn't realize there was a Politico Pitchbot parody account. Huh.

According to Captain Obvious, it's all going into Trump's pocket.

If we think the Court could completely flout the birth requirement to allow a foreign national to become President, presumably through some 14th-Amendment twist on the natural-born-citizen clause, then they could easily just overturn this free-and-fair election and hand the White House to Trump this time around, which, they could probably twist dozens of constitutional clauses in defense of that decision.

They will punish Trump backers the same as the Confederates were punished: they’ll be ostracized for a very short time, then they’ll be invited right back into power.

Coke Zero might capture most of the red hats with his cruelty platform, but he could never get the marginal middle he would need if for no other reason than he has no business resume, such as it is. The only way he could ever win the White House is to have it passed down to him Kim Jong-style.

Why did this judge feel “compelled” to “teach her a lesson” about how to behave in court? Does he expect that she’s going to be a defendant at some point? There’s no way he does this to a 16-year-old white girl. Who says black people can’t be racist against other black people?

Kamala might get 400 as things stands. North Carolina, Florida, Texas, Ohio—that would do it.

Consistent with the Harris philosophy of controlling the strike zone on both sides of the ball. You do that by your pitchers not issuing walks—Tiger pitchers are 4th in MLB at that—and your hitters to draw walks—Tiger hitters are 23rd there. The main thing you need to make that work is to get the right players who can do these things. We seem to be able to find pitchers who can do their thing. Now we have to find more hitters who can do their thing. It makes sense that pitching would come around first because it’s a pitcher’s game these days.

Honestly, the best thing that could happen to the Republicans right now is that Trump has a debilitating stroke or heart attack, after which they have no choice but to pull him out, they jettison Bowman Hamel, and they run Nikki Haley for President with a white male VP with MAGA appeal in their place. Who cares if that’s a ripoff of the Democrats’ move, if they want to avoid getting smoked in November, I can’t envision any other way they can pull out of this tailspin.

You gotta like these guys. Our rotation is shredded, we’re missing what we assumed would be key pieces to injury and optioning and deadline trades, and we’re now 5-3 in the last eight games against two teams fighting for the playoffs. The season might be all but toast, but they are still showing some spirit, some fight, some moxie, whatever you want to call it. They’ve been fun to watch again. Still, we’re firing Hinch, right? 😏

They have connections to that world that go far beyond Trump, who is only the tip of the spear. Once Trump gets in and dismantles the government, the Court becomes the last word on all of it.

Genuine charm.

I assume Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney-Barrett fall in line for the guy to whom they owe their livelihoods.

Stop, J.D., you already have the MAGA base vote.

Monroe County is part of the Detroit DMA, although they do get significant spillover from Toledo.

I don't know either way, but I do know if Harris crushes Trump by eight figures of votes, which is well within the realm of possibility, and one of Trump's blizzard of lawsuits gets fast-tracked to SCOTUS which overturns the election and hands the White House to Trump 5-4, then there will be millions of people out on the street to protest it all through and past the inauguration, and I will be one of those people, and you probably will be, too.

Understood, and I am not stipulating that you're a guy who would do that, but there are plenty of fans, including some in this very forum, who do.
