Bednar who!

Jake Rogers patting Dillon Dinger on the back in the dugout, then staring out toward the field watching his career flash before his eyes.

Man, did Fanduel ever botch showing the review on the pickoff.

Nice catch by Carpenter to end the sixth! I mean, he probably didn’t have to jump, but hey, at least he got it!

I know, right? We take a one-run lead in the fourth inning and that’s a knockout punch? Ah, well, it’s not like it’s his team or anything …

Paul Severino can sure deliver the hell out of a live read.

Riley double, Tigers take the lead. Never a doubt … 😁

This will set someone’s hair on fire here.

The difference being that Paddack is alternating between good and bad starts. Washburn had one really good start, and was meh to awful in the rest of them. Paddack might get one more chance after this, but if he has another stinkeroo next time, he might be outright replaced in the rotation by Troy Melton and then go the Maeda garbage-time route the rest of the season, before getting left off the October roster.

God, please tell me we’re not going into another 1-12 stretch.

I was disagreeing with the idea that a major broadcaster would not edit it out. When you say “would not be edited out”, you can only be referring to the professional editing crew of a major broadcaster, since individual users are not expected to engage in editing of the sort, for reasons such as propriety, that major broadcasters must. YouTube doesn’t engage in that sort of editing per se—their only recourse is removing the video from their platform, which is censorship rather than editing.

Without either Benetti or Dan, it is a very bland broadcast on both sides of the spectrum. The kind of thing many franchises have to withstand every day for years.

I disagree. It would totally be edited out today, I think perhaps even more likely than it would have been 40 or 50 years ago. There's no way MLB would allow a similar incident happening today to be shown in all it's gory, and their media partners would all comply, and actually agree, if for no other reason than to mollify antsy advertisers. Sickening their viewers is bad for the media business. That's partly why during wartime, as in Iraq, embedded media did not show combat as they did during Vietnam. User-generated videos would be a different case. If someone happened to catch an entire attack like that on video, it would probably show up on YouTube, and in that case I would doubt that YouTube would take it down.

for all we know

Fair point.

I was responding to a post worded specifically so. I didn't mean to suggest whistling past graveyards, but I can see how it was taken as such.

I would I could hide certain threads.

I don't disagree at all, but the reaction by the pearl-clutching S.E.B. is out of proportion to what's going on in the video. So, I wouldn't trust the integrity of their own pro-Israel Gaza position, which is likely predicated on more than what's actually happening in Gaza, any more than I would certain protesters' pro-Palestine positions, for some of whom it is likely predicated on generalized ideological purity. I don't know where the lady they escorted out stands on it, I'm speaking in general.

the tweet appeared to be focused on the one hard-garbed lady who was apparently lodging the protest. That's what the two twitter accounts were getting in a snit about. Their math appears to be: One lone protester = "Netanyahu was not protested to this degree".

RFKJ is fully cooked, but he’s also following the boss’s orders.

They think all people have to do to get off drugs is pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get a goddamn job. These crackheads don’t need government money to get a little gumption. The new federal government guidance is going to be: it also wouldn’t hurt to give your life over to Jesus.

I think most people could see this definitely brewing during the Bush Jr. years. A lot of us could see it starting during the Reagan years. The irony is that today’s younger MAGAs, who call themselves Republicans and even “conservative” (as if), think of Reagan not as a icon of the party to be revered, but as an irrelevant relic of the past to be discarded, the way people during the Reagan years thought of FDR. To them, Reagan is not a hero—he’s the original RINO. Young MAGAs actually revere Nixon as Trump’s true predecessor.

“Don’t look over there, look over here!”

I learned this from yesterday’s Foul Territroy podcast. Maybe you did, too. In mentioning it, Scott Braun and AJ Peirzynski were praising him for his courage, or something like that, and saying “god bless him” for running. It turned my stomach. I’m half motivated to write and beseech them to keep the political stuff like this out of their pod.
