Hey, i just present the factoid without comment. You decide what it means. 😁

What is true for a fact(oid) is that the Yankees had a better record than the Tigers after May 22 that year.

I think that might be only for wild card and division rounds. I believe I’d heard that if they got to the LCS, they’d have to play somewhere else, probably Miami. Unless they changed their minds since I’d heard this?

That’s the thing about baseball in general, and this game in particular: I just feel so relentlessly, endlessly marketed to. I don’t feel I’m treated like a fan so much as I’m part of a target audience.

They also had a 1976 Michigan bicentennial license plate in one of the spots.

That’s a bad sign. If it were truly meant to be only an exhibition game gimmick, that wouldn’t matter.

He got notes.

I hate these marketing segments MLB does during these games as much as the next guy, but this in-stadium Hank Aaron segment is super cool.

Yeah I don't think we're ever going to see a repeat of Rose-Fosse. There's too much bonhomie among players, and also, they are acutely aware that they have to preserve themselves for championship play during the second half. Not only is no one going balls out against another guy, they're going to let up where they feel they need to so they can preserve themselves

Wow, what a terrible game for Tigers.

Who'd'a thunk Mitch McConnell would ever be on the side of the angels.

They basically told us they were going to weaponize the government by falsely accusing prior administrations of weaponizing the government.

It's a factiod.

In all fairness, he didn't call it a "factoid". 😉

Including the arb clock? I thought that was depending on days spent in the majors. I mean, I know that clock advances by at least a single day in my scenario, but is there something more that makes it much more significant as a consideration? I know it's true that an option gets burned in my scenario in year one, and that would cost the team a year on the back end. Is there anything else I'm not thinking of attached to this? As for the 40-man, I am 80% sure that the team would have to pass the player through waivers to get him off the 40 again, but are there any further machinations the team can undertake to get the young player off the 40 without losing him to someone else through waivers? Anything else I'm not thinking of here?

In Tampa, says the new owner. I think that market would be happier with that.

I hope any state that does this starts bleeding corporate headquarters and their employees, including Florida.

Again, this is an all or nothing position that suggests that we must either support immigration laws as the Trump regime is implementing them, or we must support zero immigration laws at all. I don’t believe anybody else here supports either, because there is just so much in between them that we would rather see instead.

@Edman85?

The question as posed presupposes I support these operations in the first place, and I definitely do not. But what the data do tell us that undocumented immigrants from only certain countries are being targeted for not only rounding up, but for the kind of government-sanctioned brutal treatment not seen in this country since the southern states during the Jim Crow era.

Question for @Edman85 Given how the Angels like to fast track their guys in the minors and they just picked the youngest 1/1 since Junior, we have a chance of seeing the first 17-year-old playing major league baseball since Jay Dahl in 1963. Nawwww, not really—but let's pretend for a second that the Angels do play Eli Willits before the end of the year, like, for a single game, just for jollies I guess, then they decide to put him back on a normal development track that sees his next big league game in 2029 or 2030 or whatever. In such a scenario, would some clock start ticking for Willits in some way? Would he become Rule 5-eligible sooner, or something else different I'm not thinking of, if all they were to do different is play him in a major league game this year?

Cool story. What does the data say?

Flip side, it's jail, and being crammed into a cell with 60 other men and sleeping on the floor with aluminum blankets and not getting enough food and not being allowed to shower and losing 26 pounds in 23 days and being told "you don't have rights to anything" is totally normal, and what did he endure that's any different from anyone who is sent to jail
