  1. 1) ideally Hader wouldn’t have been used yesterday so he’d be more rested and unfamiliar to Detroit 2) Given that 3 of the first 4 batters in the 8th were scheduled to be lefties, not to mention it’s the top of their order, analytics would argue that Hader should have pitched the 8th from the start
  2. My issue with this whole discussion is that many of the loudest voices have no true concern about the fairness of women's sports or whatever, but just have hatred to spread and view this as an acceptable outlet. We saw it in the Olympics, where many folks couldn't wait to pile on that poor woman - and then baselessly started to speculate about other athletes that didn't "seem" feminine enough. There was no desire to acquire facts on the issue and no attempt to mitigate the damage done by these allegations... just an opportunity to yell on the internet and then move on to the next outrage of the day. There is a genuine discussion to be had on the topic, as troph has illustrated, but nobody with a megaphone seems to be interested in participating.
  3. The problem for JD is that 99.9% of his days on this earth do not involve him taking part in a debate, and the American public has overwhelmingly decided that they do not like him on those days.
  4. Purposefully avoided the debate and have tried to avoid searching out news about it, but the fact check whining and the “damning non answer” seem to be the two moments that have kinda elevated into real news. Again, doubt this debate has much impact and I still might have some sourcing bias involved, but that doesn’t seem great for Vance.
  5. Shoulda brought up how Trump only distributed 1% of what North Carolina requested the last time they got hit by a hurricane because the request came from a Democrat governor.
  6. Putting in Hader here should be the only piece of evidence needed to relive Espada of his duties.
  7. I’m not brave enough to predict a Kamala blowout. But if it does occur, there will have been plenty of signs it was coming in hindsight.
  8. Feel like those clips are a preview of the VP debate tonight.
  9. Might be anecdotal, but sure seems like Elon has taken off any attempt to curate Twitter feeds based on activity and are just actively pumping pure right wing nonsense to everyone. Just nonstop bullshit from the moment I logged on today.
  10. Kamala: everyone deserves a fair shot Trump: we need the Purge “Both sides are equally radical!” - the smartest people on Twitter
  11. Saw a commercial yesterday where a bald, faceless, black man with "Allred" on his jersey tackled a young girl. I know this is their angle yet the blatantness of it still shocked me.
  12. Yep - it's remarkable how easy it is to just tune out. Every single time I return to twitter after a break, it feels like this: Not to keep beating a dead horse, but it's why I feel so strongly about the need for the campaign to do untraditional media. It's really easy for people to tune out the news, so if you are trying to win over new voters, you need to show up on their entertainment podcasts/sports pre game shows/etc. to get your message across.
  13. Don’t think there’s any chance Trump is there, but I’d bet good money on Ted showing up.
  14. It’s why I think Kamala/Walz need to go on podcasts like Theo and Rogan. Most of these bros aren’t hard pilled conservatives like Ben Shapiro or whatever, they’re just easily influenced jocks that are really only being message targeted by one political party. Of course they believe all the dumb right wing bullshit, that is the only group trying to court that demographic.
  15. Honestly remarkable how Trump not only has softened the GOP’s opinion of Russia, he has them all actively rooting against Ukraine. Purely because he wants to fuck Putin.
  16. Certainly some of that WI/MI money could be better allocated towards OH/PA?
  17. Definitely thought we were cooked in April. Don't know how I honestly feel about our chances, but we can undoubtedly be the best team in baseball for a month.
  18. LOL at making Rhode Island red and hoping nobody noticed.
  19. Big boy pitching from Abreu, great to see.
