My whole generation got lost in the margin
We put our faith in you and you turned a profit
Now we're drowning here under the waves 🎵

Thank you for reminding me of being able to understand the intentional walk and hating it at the same time

He's maybe the most frustrating guy for me, personally. Love him. When he's on he's incredible. But he goes in the tank for crazy long stretches that wash it all out

A game like that doesn't deserve a normal recap. Here's my retelling of last night's Tigers-Mariners game, broken into splinters.

11. For the first time in my life, I actually had to check the scoreboard to see how many mound visits a team had left.

A new California law making it easier for developers to build multistory apartment buildings near major commuter stops has triggered fierce opposition from Los Angeles and other coastal cities.

California Wants to Make It Easier to Build Housing. Los Angeles Objects.

Gov. Newsom Friday signed a bill that will make it easier to build apartment buildings. Cities like Los Angeles fear a loss of control.

To put it another way: A subscription to BP costs a dollar more per month than the amount Apple+ and Disney+ *increased* their monthly rates in October. It's ridiculously cheap and you get to support great independent baseball writing. Give it a shot.

I think a lot of it is fueled by "how do you come back from that?" and probably informed by his unsteadiness before then, but once you think it through it basically can't happen just for the sake of happening

I think they'll do work but I'm not sure there's a big pivot to make. Probably keeping Schwarber no matter what. Ranger probably gone because of Painter/Taijuan hanging around, and Luzardo developing so much they try to extend him. Castellanos, maybe Bohm gone. Need to develop better relievers

I think it's concerning that Harper seems to get bullied by fastballs but generally I think this series is way different than the Mets/DBacks series. The Dodgers have an incredible starting staff, and it all might be different if Bader doesn't get hurt
