I don’t think there is solid or settled sceince that 12 months of hormone therapy makes this competition fair. This is what is being used but we can look at the data of male and female performance and clearly see that she is performing at a vastly higher level as a female, than she was as a male.

I think that’s a pretty weak argument (“those are the rules”). I’m wondering if you would have the same opinion if the rules said trans athletes could NOT ever compete. People question the fairness of rules/laws all the time.

The Orioles only ruin pitchers. They waste position players, big difference, get it straight.

The Hefty Bag.  Yes.

Remember the outfield ‘wall’ that was basically blue coloured Saran wrap?

Yeah; if anything, the Dome gives them the right to justifiably complain about bullshit domed fields in perpetuity.

Do they even need speakers?  Seems like anyone could just slightly raise their voice and be heard over the twelve people watching. 

Well they did blow it up

I like to think Blyleven was actually referring to all of Florida.

The cat walks up there are 4 rings. If you hit two of those rings it is a live ball that can be played and caught for an out. If you hit two different rings they act as a foul pole and signify a home run.

Counterpoint:

Not exactly fair to call it a foul ball either. The better question is why on earth did they design a ballpark like that?

Why on earth is a ball still in play if it hits a roof structure? How incredibly stupid.

In theory, this is a good idea.  But has Bert considered the implications of DOZENS of baseball fans with nowhere to go on a Friday evening.  I think not, Bert.  I think not.

Weirdly, I actually agree with Green. If nobody laid hands on anybody I’d call it an argument, or some shit-talking or whatever. I feel like scuffle is for when it gets physical. But I am basing that on nothing but my own brain-thoughts so who knows.

The Mailman always delivers on time! Short shorts! Pick and roll! Mormons!!

It was more a comment on how weird it is that there are actually positive articles being written about this franchise in this space. The coverage isn’t questionable - it’s Deadspin and there’s no such thing over here. Writers write what they see and feel and that’s cool. Sports coverage ebbs and flows, but Raps…

Louisiana - Hoping nobody notices the asshole of America.

Wait until he learns the there’s a NEW Mexico!
