Technically only one retired number. After Alomar was put on MLB’s ineligible list the Jays returned 12 to circulation. Most recently it was worn by Spencer Turnbull this season. Only 32 is retired for Doc, in addition to 42 being retired league wide.

I know you actually mean 1994 Gwynn from the stat, but there’s a small part of me that looked and thought “Tony Gwynn, 54 years old and half dead from metastatic cancer, yeah he could have hit like that in 2014”

Time was invented by big calendar to sell more clocks…
Also, they’ve played nearly 40% of the schedule, it’s no longer early!

Don’t lump President Camacho in with those dorks! When he was in a crisis, he recognized he wasn’t the best person to lead and listened to the smartest person in the room. Would anyone on that list do something like that?

They’ve put together a terrible team and played a relatively tough schedule to start. It’s not outside the realm of possibility that the 2024 White Sox record for worst single season of all time gets toppled by this Rockies team!

Did Harper serve non-contiguous terms? My recollection is he was Leader of the Opposition from May 2002 until he became Prime Minister in January 2006, and resigned immediately as leader of the Conservative Party after being defeated in 2015, serving as backbencher until he resigned in 2016.

That assumes Polievre/Byrne were at all capable of pivoting, which they weren’t

You get additional parliamentary privileges. They get additional budget for their parliamentary offices, their own opportunities to ask questions during debates, and recognition for “opposition days” in parliament. Otherwise they’re basically a bunch of independents who like each other.

Until 1995, the Habs were the Anglo Quebec team! The twin phenomena of “Quebec loves the Habs” and “the Habs are French Canada’s team” happened within living memory.

It’s not even really an overpay, no hometown discount for sure, but with the open market rate being $11 million per WAR, we’re only asking Vlad to average 3.2 WAR/season over the life of the contract. That seems very reasonable for a player of his talents.

Allergic to peanut butter. He's angry that George is always snacking on Uncrustables, and he'll never be able to have one.

If you click on the map it opens up a detailed map of the region—that 1 seat in SK is a Liberal seat. The seeming complete collapse of the NDP vote nationally makes projections really funky though.

Appreciate the candour! For such a long term run of success, they must be doing something right with the modelling, but agreed, these kinds of things are decided on the margins and this is the kind of election that has the potential to break a lot of old models due to how volatile things are.

On a single riding basis, I’m not sure how accurate they are, but they’ve both been remarkably accurate over the long term. They’ve got like a 90% hit rate over 18 elections since 2018.

Neither 338 or Polling Canada have their full methodology for the projections posted, since that would give away the “secret formula” but both have good explainers of how they do it

But…that’s exactly what they’re doing? The data itself is publicly available, the seat projections and polling averages are available for free on here and on the site. The only paywalled content is the analysis.
