The whole voting charade is a transparent marketing scheme to get you, the MLB customer, to increase digital engagement with MLB properties in order that you can provide them with a rich trove of information about your likes and preferences so they can target you with advertising designed to generate ongoing revenue from you. That’s why they encourage you to vote the maximum number of times allowable, which is five times a day per unique email address during a 30-day period, for a total of 150 votes. The more you vote, the more you engage, the more likely you are to buy. You’re registered with them so it can’t be an anonymous vote, and they won’t accept your votes unless you log in. It’s just so unseemly.

Retail store stocks won’t be helped by it. But reduced inflation might back up the Fed and spur markets a bit. That’s one hope, anyway.

What a godsend Riley Greene is. It’s been so long since we’ve had a rookie come up with real talent, all the hype, and still come out of the gate smoking. He is someone to genuinely look forward to coming to the plate, and bonus, he’s a pretty good defender.

Love taking three straight from anybody anytime.

I don’t think it’s gonna be just this year, and I don’t think it matters whether there are 14 pitchers on a staff or 40 pitchers. Teams have come to recognize that it makes no sense to waste an actual pitcher late in the game with a 8+-or-so run differential when you can put a position guy fro way down your roster out there to throw meatballs just to get it over with. I think at this point The Game would have to legislate it away to stop it, and I don’t sense that they’re interested enough in the issue to do that.

This is all true. I still hate it.

God, do I hate position players pitching. I can’t watch this shit anymore.

And we can’t even get it under $6 here in the city!

I wonder whether a team that was losing so bad that they put a position player to pitch ever came back to win the game?

Yeah, that's one of the concerning things about DeSantis: he's actually smart.

Here's another article I came across today suggesting we may have peaked on the inflation front. https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/shortages-have-led-to-gluts

Maybe today is Bunker’s White Sox Interactive day.

Why I no longer vote for the All Star Game, Exhibit A.

I’m sure she does realize it. It is the source of her power and influence.

Looks like the reckoning is fast approaching. If they ever get around to scraping this site and MTS, a few of us are goners.

From the mouths of Aussies …

Could we be getting some good news on this front?

You don’t say.

SWEEEEEEEP

I don’t know when I have seen our team get so many breaks on batted balls like this game.
