Yes. There is Scherzer, Corbin and Strasburg in their very division. 

Yeah, Syndergaard is younger than Stroman, but he’s not quite as, ah...urban. You get what I’m saying? Got a real wholesome upbringing. Seems like he runs with a good crowd. The kind of guy I’d want my daughter to date. Sometimes a boy just needs somebody he can look up to.

Except it’s not because aside from the occasional exception like LeBatard, most of ESPN is going to follow this mandate which will thrill conservatives because in addition to getting the bland, pastey coverage they want from the network, they’ll also get to feel like their pathetic whining about what they didn’t like…

Is it just me, or does he look like a slightly less doucehy version of Donald Jr. in that pic?

Normally I’d go with something about Joe Flacco, but all that has changed.

Yes, the Orioles have 13 pitchers, but five of those pitchers are starters, which means they need four days off between pitching appearances, so four of them were unavailable today. The team had used all eight of their relief pitchers in the game already (and the last one had thrown 30 pitches, which is probably about…

“After the O’s used nine actual, professional pitchers”

Not just that - blue lives mattering is codified in law. If someone shoots their neighbor, they’re going to jail. If that neighbor is a cop, their sentence is automatically higher. If a cop is killed, the entire force expends all of its resources to find who did it. Everybody knows blue lives matter, anyone who needs…

Screw it, I say every profession gets their own version of the American flag.

Countercounterpoint: Do some dang trades!

>But the stupid Mets institutionally refuse to do trades with the Yankees despite being entirely willing to do trades with actual divisional rivals, because they are stupid.

The Mets are waiting for a good offer, like three magic beans or a can’t miss investment opportunity.

This is a silly argument, because everyone knows that Zemo in Civil War was the most powerful MCU villain. With no powers or technology at all, he caused the Avengers to turn on each other.  Everyone talks about Thanos being the first villain to actually win - Zemo did it first.

Why does it feel weird? Disney is a monolith, rich as fuck, rich as shit, rich as hell. Disney is rich as some made-up swears that only rich people know. And they pay nothing to their theme park workers (they say they get $15 now), the factory workers who make their merchandise, and anyone else they can get away with,…

Maybe if they made their stuff greasier?

Chick-fil-A isn’t known for its transparency.

With the ball being juiced, pitchers throwing harder, and pretty much everybody in every lineup capable of hitting the ball out, expect lots of odd home run records to be set. The record for HR in a season by a team is 266 by the Yankees last year. There are 7 teams on pace to beat that now - Twins, Dodgers, Brewers,…

If we’re going to reference strange HR related stats, the Mariners have either hit, allowed, or both hit and allowed a HR in 103 consecutive games to start the season -- including tonight’s game -- an MLB record.

Appropos of nothing:

I would like to submit this delightful play from Kevin Pillar yesterday.
