  1. MLB Now showed footage from the 1965 World Series where Koufax elicited swords from hitters and they were considered to not have gone around on the pitches which, if you see the clip, will practically boggle your mind.
  2. It’s because he wants help to go to him, as a friendly, and not to “them”, whoever they may be.
  3. That’s how you know they know they have no defense for whatever terrible thing they are doing: they go ad hominem on the questioner. You see it with Trump and mainstream media anytime he’s asked a question of accountability by them. It’s the Kremlin playbook.
  4. I knew they were going to start stealing vaccines from us. Motherforkers.
  5. Every time during game action they show odds of whether this batter is gonna hit a homer, or that pitcher is gonna get over 5.5 strikeouts, a little more of my soul leaves my body.
  6. I’m just holding out for the AJ interview.
  7. Fanduel doing a shared Cardinals-Tigers postgame, almost certainly to cut costs. Late stage media capitalism at its finest. I actually hope that means Fanduel is losing their shirt on skinning baseball broadcasts and are gonna pull out of it this winter.
  8. Do you seriously think so? I think Papa Doc was a baseball-first guy. He may or may not have known the intricacies of comparative analysis when it comes to players, but I’d bet he knew Miggy was one of the bigger stars in the other league at that time.
  9. YES!! Kahnle does the job. This is a pretty big win after last night’s embarrassment.
  10. Were those guys sitting on the dugout handing those pep girls dollars bills as though they were strippers??
  11. Well, OK, now show us you really are a good team and gut out a one-run win here.
  12. Good, there’s one. Now plate Riley and give us a little room here.
  13. Javy makes the 60% play. Now we have to get runs, plural, because I feel very uneasy about going into the bottom of the ninth tied up or even up only one.
  14. **** like umpire incompetence is how good teams lose games.
  15. The only teams I can see giving Skubal ten years under today’s CBA are Dodgers, Yankees, Mets. Skubal is going to be signed after the next CBA, so who knows how or whether the landscape changes. Chances are high he’ll be unemployed through the strike, unless one of the big three takes a flyer on him and the new CBA and signs him that November.
  16. We are really creaking here. A walk from Vest s a bad sign.
  17. I think of the Miggy trade as a huge outlier.
  18. I thought they’ve been doing crossing the plate at what the article would probably call a zero degree angle. That’s what I thought side-angle replays generally show and what umpires appear to call it on. Am I wrong?
  19. People pick the things in the bible that confirm the beliefs they already have.
  20. Dave Dombrowski emptied the system of its top prospects like Willy Adames, Eugenio Suarez, and Robbie Ray in exchange for teams that were no better than third best in the league in any given year and left the organization barren when he left. I don’t want to see that again. Al Avila’s trades of established players for prospects didn’t work out because Al Avila’s was an incompetent general manager.
  21. This is true, but it's even worse than that, because ironically, the cruelty they visit upon whom they consider their lessers has been ordained by God to be within their purview. It's not in the Bible—at least I don't think so?—but their pastors do ratify this thinking practically every Sunday from the pulpits of perhaps as many as a couple hundred thousand churches scattered throughout all fifty states.
  22. So, so ****ing presidential. He, of course, wants to distract us from the fact that it's going to cost the taxpayers at least a billion dollars, to completely disassemble and then reassemble that gift jet from Qatar to ensure that it is secure enough to carry the president of the United Shaysh.
  23. Eyes lighting up made me smile. That's all.
  24. We got a dust storm here in Chicago that we were warned about maybe an hour before it hit. I feel like pre-DOGE we would have been warned hours or even days beforehand.
