No assistance *in deciding whether to challenge*. Not if it is an appropriate time to challenge. Literally no different than telling the guy on his way out of the dugout “you can challenge during this at-bat”.
Oh sure, they were French first weren’t they
That height always seemed strange to me. Three apples is kind of tall, how tall were Gargamel and Azreal supposedly?
Make it a red card for when they can’t. What are they going to say? You told them they can’t so that’s helping so… they can’t challenge? You didn’t have any indication that it’s ok to challenge, and doing nothing was helping?
The press should just start referring to her by her last name without qualifying which Trump. Would Hegseth not believe it? Would the President remember whether he’d said it?
If a teenager posted this, we’d call it “cringe”.
Some official is arguing that this still constitutes input from the dugout and salivating over the prospect of proving it by getting a Brewers game assigned to him.
Where, OF COURSE, everyone will see the wisdom of his incorrect, letter-of-the-rules interpretation and acknowledge his greatness.
The breathtaking stupidity of saying "we destroyed their nuclear capabilities" a few months ago only to pivot to "they were two days from having THE BOMB" is absolutely stunning. They are the Miles Davis of stupid, forever capable of stripping stupid down to its roots and reinventing it.
We can’t even get peanut butter in our peanut butter cups.
Whole thread is worth reading but - this, a thousand times, this.
Just some great Alt-text on those images. Really helping people out.
This is probably the real answer, except it will be EA Sports that does it.
I am so goddamn tired of this country’s disregard for decency, for humanity. This is war-crimes territory and where are our elected leaders?
After an off-handed comment the other day my wife has started referring to Cardamom Buns from the local bakery as “Cardi B’s”
Spring training for everyone
He might just be my favorite Brewer at this point.
People watching the NLCS last year: “Pat Murphy is a broken record, no one is underestimating the #Brewers ever again.”
PECOTA: *clears throat*
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand
You’re familiar with the fact that some people don’t care until it affects them? So there’s that, that this might be a moment a lot of people begin to care.
But it also is a good reminder that Venezuelans are not just people many of us don’t know, they’re players and people we like and cheer for.
How long until the FBI declares Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V to be hacking? They’re probably drafting the amicus brief already?
100% AGREE
Stuck around for the “lost chapter” of Kill Bill after TWBA, I am convinced that the Paul Dano comment was just to distract us from discussing that atrocity of a feature. Honestly tarnished the four plus hours that came before. Which was great, but what a poor end.
One of the reasons the Brewers are as strong as they are is the amount of money they put into things like scouting and development. Could they have a higher payroll, sure. But it’s not like you’re comparing money in to money out here, there are other expenses, some very large.
Wasn’t Rhys Hoskins this past season a mutual option?
Literally any team could’ve afforded Ohtani. He comes with a plethora of broadcast deals and sponsorships that pay his salary before he takes a swing. Plus the increase in ticket sales and jersey sales, etc. He went where he wanted to go.
Brewers don’t have an organist.
Yes, teams from one division make it when other teams do worse, that’s how this works. Do you think the NL central is having games where both teams get to count a win? If not then those wins came from beating teams outside the “terrible” division.
This. People act like with a salary cap cities like LA and NYC wouldn’t be more attractive to play in than Milwaukee or Cleveland. That those teams wouldn’t continue to attract the biggest name players.
Even more so as they continue and continue to expand the playoffs.
But isn’t that what the pennant used to be? You have the most wins in your league, you win the pennant and the two pennant winners get to play in the WS to see what would happen.
Then they added playoffs, and now making it through the semi-finals gets its own award. The pennant should be as it was.
