  1. Same (April 12, 2024) as it ever was (thread start date: April 13, 2021): “Summer is two months away, yet the Texas power grid is already swooning. On Friday the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (Ercot) asked power generators to postpone scheduled maintenance early this week “to help alleviate potential tight conditions” as temperatures rise into the not-so-sizzling 80s. ” https://www.wsj.com/articles/texas-power-grid-energy-electric-reliability-council-of-texas-efd5990e?st=dxl8wjyustco7f4&reflink=article_copyURL_share https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/ercot-urges-texas-power-plants-skip-maintenance-stay-online-meet-increased-demand/ “ This raises a lot of questions because ERCOT has traditionally planned around the hottest days of the summer. That’s when we need power plants and all energy generators to be available. And if you start seeing situations where these facilities can’t shut down for maintenance in what used to be the milder times of year to prepare for the summer, then people start to worry about what will happen in the summer when we get these super extreme hot days. If the power plants aren’t ready for that because they haven’t been allowed to prepare for it, that has raised concern, and it does raise concern.”
  2. lol. i just checked and now remember attending Whitley’s AAA debut…. 5 years + 1 week ago today… here he is giving up a triple to the incomparable Danny Santana (that’s out of frame but on which I’m sure Yordan misplayed down in the corner) BFFD49AB-DA9F-4245-A943-178944CE92EF2019-04-09_19-30-10_000.mov
  3. Only if you presuppose the setup pitcher and closer aren’t supposed to give up ~1 run per inning
  4. Made all the less funny because he’s 1) not starting but 2) very well could be pitching in the 2nd with Brown starting on the mound
  5. He has a splitter now? that will be interesting
  6. Dugout interviews would be much more entertaining if they turned the interviews in to bar talk: ”Thoughts on the knockers in the third row?” or “what’s the first part of the first game spread to get devoured? And what’s the most popular beverage to wash it down with?” no one wants the stupid cliche Q&A that is white noise 100 out of 100 times.
  7. All it took was a bullpen in complete disarray and a starting rotation with what, 5 of 7 guys injured
  8. Ha. I was wondering what dive he’d choose to celebrate this one in. he was hanging out at Deep Eddy Cabaret after he won the Match Play (RIP) a couple of years ago to get to #1 for the first time (how was that only ~2 years ago. What a ridiculous 26 months for him)
  9. Can Shaun hang out with Jose Abreu? and check back in a couple of months to see what Hader’s been up to?
  10. We got our high dollar 2023 off-season signing with an ERA (9.39) in the range of the OPS we want our high dollar 2022 offseason signing to have. And we got our high dollar 2022 offseason signing with an OPS (.250) in the range of the ERA we want our high dollar 2023 offseason signing to have shit’s all fucked up
  11. I hope Joe’s first words to Abreu’s in the locker room after the game are “I’m sorry about your oblique. Get some rest. We’ll see you in June” (with no intentions of actually seeing him in June”
  12. Not being able to get around on 88 year old Jesse Chavez may be a new low
  13. At least Abreu can stay in the game now and bat against Chavez who he has a .286 average against with 2 homers!
  14. Bielak gives up an XBH here and Hader gonna be in arrighetti level of ERA right now pegged to 7…. For your closer. 2+ weeks in.
  15. Not like we exactly want him to pitch again this series, but deciding to bring him in when you’re losing… and it backfiring…means he’s probably shot for this series with how his pitch count is trending
  16. Jake PH coming for Abreu in the 9th. so we got that going for us, which is nice…. I guess
  17. Pretty sure the disrespect occurred the moment they offered a 3rd year (let alone a 2nd).
  18. The fucking wave stroud knows what’s up. needs to get his girl in line though
  19. Got away with it once. trying a second time… bold move Cotton
