  1. That logic would mean we were the higher 2 seed if we got matched up with the lower 1 seed but obviously we can't expect TexAgs to get to the second logical step.
  2. Didn't see it live. I appreciate the 2B umpire stopping Campbell from beating the shit out of Ligon and getting himself ejected and suspended.
  3. The official scorer ruled that ordinary effort (i.e., an average play by an average fielder) would not have retired Drury at first. Basically he determined that Bregman getting him out at first would have required an extraordinary play and I agree with that ruling. Bregman successfully executed the first half of an extraordinary play by fielding it quickly and getting rid of it quickly. But the throw was off line.
  4. Really great article. Those two parents are real life heroes. Money shot
  5. Trout I'll let y'all take it from here.
  6. Yeah the answer surprised the heck out of me, too. For those all wanting to guess it was more recent than either of the guesses so far.
  7. There have been 26 seasons where multiple players had 20+ triples. Only one after 1930. Name the year and the two players.
  8. Gotta admit, smiled for him. He didn't act too cool he showed how bad he's been and enjoyed the hell out of it. Now bench his ass.
  9. The fastest way to force progress would be a campaign of black men legally openly carrying AR-15s or similar weapons near and around right wing evangelical churches on Sunday mornings. But of course, from what I understand, black men don't like dying so that's not really feasible.
  10. People who are anti-ACLU reveal themselves as ignorant at best. In today's world for an educated person not to know what they do requires almost willful ignorance but it's possible. If they actually know what the ACLU does and are still against them then they're quite literally fascists.
  11. It's mind-boggling to me every time I see someone throw him an off speed pitch this season.
  12. "That football guy works at a public university they can't fire him he can say whatever he wants!" One week earlier in another conversation... "Tenure is terrible it lets professors say whatever they want and they can't be fired!"
  13. I like how Big Brain Law here just put in writing on an official correspondence to the United States Attorney General that the Biden family is being treated fairly. Not unfairly favored, they're being treated fairly.
  14. The Crawford Boxes help out lefties more than righties. No I don't have data but it makes sense.
  15. City 4 Real Madrid 0 Acceptable performance, all things considered. Some important matches coming up.
  16. So you're saying the Astros scored 6 runs in 2 innings after you left. Guess who's now required to go to the top of the first inning and only the top of the first inning for every remaining home game?
  17. 90 win pace for the season, 100 win pace since starting 3-6. With this group of underperformers and injury replacements. As bad as things have been they have been as good as they could have been. Or something like that.
  18. It's absolutely not a given. It's just battered fan syndrome. Competent squad building can take down City, it's already happened once.
  19. I mean there's probably a market for "on this day" push notifications. Surprised they haven't figured out how to monetize that.
  20. Did I see that stat right during the game that the Astros have finished with a winning record on 15 of their last 16 road trips? That's insane.
