Not too coincidentally, Mikolas managed to plunk the Cubs’ starting pitcher last night, too.

Lay off the Provel, man.

The “go fuck yourself” tweet to Trump after it somehow gains sentience from pure awesomeness.

Very easily protecting people of all ages from serious (and costly) injury with minimal impact to enjoying the game (or the game itself) is nowhere even remotely close to the game “becoming Disneyland.”

If anything is Disneyland-ish, it’s the environment created long ago by the teams/orgs at the stadiums that serve to…

Bruh, popping up a kid who was brutally tortured and murdered on a fucking Jumbotron at a baseball game is beyond fucked up, regardless of whether they said he was a “famous person” or a “celebrity.” Get out of here with your, “oh, it wasn’t as bad as I thought” semantic nonsense.

How the hell does a take THIS hot have 50+ stars?

Man, weekend Deadspin is populated by some straight weirdos (he said, knowingly).

You may not like kids at the game, but the game is always actively trying to draw as many kids (and definitely kids younger than 6 or 7) and families as possible. Baseball desperately needs young fans, and more kids playing the game, too, so yearning for only kids who are already playing the game and pushing being 10…

Hunter Biden’s soap opera-like personal life clouds some truly questionable foreign government and business dealings, some of which directly involve his father:

Almost all of the hundreds of people hurt by foul balls and bats in the stands EACH SEASON are not “defenseless people:”

#2 is largely irrelevant in terms of why the ballparks should be made safer; the vast majority of the hundreds of people injured by balls or bats ending up in the crowd each season are adults. That this time it happened to a kid is extra shitty, but if an adult had been in there instead, odds are they would have been…

That this happened to a kid is just the really unfortunate centerpiece of this store; most of the hundreds of people injured by balls and bats ending up in the stands each season are adults.

Even an adult paying attention to the game is a long shot to avoid a screaming foul ball:

More fans are closer to the field than ever before, and balls are being hit into the stands harder/faster than they ever were before, all in an environment expressly designed by the teams/orgs themselves to draw your attention to multiple places at any given moment.

Yes, it’s still ridiculous to tag this as some kind of disastrous deal mere months into the first year, no matter how many Deadspin articles you inexplicably quote to me while we’re both...on Deadspin.

Feel free to check in as much as you want; it’s going to be years before what you so desperately want to be true could…

It’s not a matter of “not trying;” it’s just it’s tricky (and that’s being generous) to see the leap of how more than 2 parties somehow alleviates or improves the things you were pointing out. The far more likely outcome is that it just results in more of the “vote for the lesser of x number of evils” scenario that…

There’s a weird overlap on GMG sites of commenters with bubbly anime profile pics are also unabashedly fans of the idea of “ethnic identity purity” or whatever the hell.

All-Star voting has zero bearing on a player’s actual value, in terms of finances or performance. And he’s a 1.8 fWAR player so far this year; I would suggest you go with Fangraphs’ WAR/VORP calculations as they’re considered to be the superior metric along those lines.

But how a player “should” perform aside, this all…

Wait, you’re seriously now trying to argue against a player’s value based on All-Star voting?

This has to be a bit.

Pizza...save for later?

Does not compute.  Sadly.
