My favorite player last time I card about baseball was Mariano Rivera.

Was really disappointed that he turned out Trumpy.

sweet!

yeah I try to not get too caught up in politics; but someone in discord linked to this thread so I figured I’d join for the Kamala watch party, but hoping I can then leave and not get drawn back in.

All I remember about Juan Gone was his brief stint in Detroit he probably sets the single season home run record if not for our at the time absurdly deep outfield fence. After he leaves they move the fence in. Lol.

omg I almost posted this exact comment with my pic

Is this the first result of the day?

Apparently the incumbent D did not run. He ran unopposed as a D in 2022, and prior to that, had run as an Independent, defeating both R’s and D’s over 10 years.

I went to school with some of Dale Murphy’s kids

He was an amazing hitter, and I remember when he was a twig lol

The Rangers, like the A’s, were at the forefront of the steroid era.

What I’m seeing is:

a lot of rep early turnout since they are encouraging it now = less rep turnout on election day

a lot of dems that voted early/by mail in 2020 due to COVID will now vote on election day = more dem turnout on election day

= Trump won’t win election day votes by as much as he did in 2020

well, I should say I went to a large elementary school with Murphy’s kids so didn’t really know them

I went to middle school with Otis Nixon’s daughter Genesis and her step-bro, Sugar Ray Leonard’s son Jarrel

so I actually knew them (like 30 kids in our middle school)

If anyone wants an even more real time reflection of financial/betting markets, watch Treasury Futures.

The product I trade is ZN at the CME Exchange, which is a contract based on the US Ten Year Treasury Yield.

Yields have been going higher as there have been some pretty large options bets on buying puts (bets on the contract going lower, which means rates go higher)

how is everyone here feeling about the election? I’m feeling confident that women, young voters and even 65+ are gonna show up for Harris and deliver a win; I think larger than Biden’s win

I like Juan Gone, two MVP seasons while not even being in the top 10 in the AL in WAR is an acheivement not likely to be surpassed. SORT BY RBI, RULE OUT ALBERT BELLE BECAUSE FUCK ALBERT BELLE, AND THERE’S YOUR MVP BOYS! 90S BASEBALL!

Lol why would some white geriatric Hall of Fame baseball player vote for Trump. Truly a mystery for the ages

No one believed in deep stats in the era I’m mentioning. They believed in roids! Tom House was considered a freak and a weird dude.
