  1. As a kid I liked Chili's but the thing I remember most is the chocolate milk shakes.  There's a Chili's 3 minutes from my house that I probably haven't been to in 8 or 10 years.  In 2015 I had a 3 month work assignment to Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia and I probably hit the Chili's there close to once a week for chips and salsa and then fajitas or quesadillas (obviously no beer).  With that as the only tex-mex option it wasn't bad.  I even thought about giving Chili's another chance back home but I never did.

    Actually that is indeed the correct side of the argument. Part of being safe is being able to stay on the base. That's pretty much the most important part of it in fact.

    Russell could have easily stayed in contact with the bag if he had slid directly into the center of it. He instead chose to slide at the outside of the bag with one hand at full speed to avoid the tag. If you have to do that to avoid the tag then you are trading a certain amount of probability of being straight up tagged out for a certain amount of probability that you will overslide the bag. He made that choice and he was out because of it.

    This sums it up for me.  Some writers I really like take Derka's position but I just don't agree at all.  One of the most fundamental rules of the game is that you're safe when you're touching a base but you can be tagged out when you're not.  If you can't come into the base under control so that you are able to stay on then you didn't beat the play to begin with.

     

    And for the record, I would completely remove replay if it were up to me.

    25 runs is the most since that 30-3 Rangers-Orioles game.

     

    So position players pitching has legitimately gotten out of hand this season, and I'll bet Manfred's next project is putting a mercy rule into MLB.

    And he'll have more support for this from the clubs than he has for banning shifts.  

    (FTR, he has zero support for banning shifts, because he hasn't even bothered to speak to the MLBPA about it.)

    No shit, a mercy rule makes a hell of a lot more sense than his bullshit extra innings proposals.

    1.  "We are confident Osuna is remorseful, has willfully complied with all consequences.."   HE PLED NOT GUILTY.

    2.  "Our zero tolerance policy related to abuse of any kind."  Is this serious?  You just traded for a guy who's on a DV suspension.  He'll be on *YOUR ROSTER* for the next week while he's on a DV suspension.  In what sort of world is that a zero tolerance policy???

    Luhnow is an awesome GM, but he went full retard here.

     

    Hard to disagree

    10X odds is a good start.

    20X is plenty of fun( lake Chuck casinos do this.)

    100X is hard to get to, but VERY rewarding.  Horseshoe in Bossier does this.

     

    That 3/4/5x bullshit is for bingo parlors and people who love Oklahoma.

    Wynn Las Vegas: 2x

    did that chevy guy just say veterans were un-remarkable?  it was like he couldn't decide which word to use.

    He also said the veteran was thinking about getting the ball over first plate and then they surprised him with the car.  It seemed like the chevy guy was really nervous and also didn't know shit about baseball.
