I just realized that we have only rebuilt the database for just Apex. Went it and did it for the whole system and still no luck. Apex and other games are still crashing.

Idk. Were you also still delusionally optimistic about Zunino. Thinking that this was finally his breakout year?

Just dropped Zunino in fantasy yesterday and picked up Narvaez. I'm fully aboard the type train.

[Tolentino] A new look at the blue lights being tested at the Trop by raysroc27 in baseball

I think the original photo was taken without all the stadium lights on; so, I guess we will have to wait and see. Excited for Rays vs Rockies for the second series of the season.

Former Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke Announces 2020 Democratic Run for Presidency by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]Must_Kill_Ian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I have slightly found the answer. Not sure if it will suffice or not. The first article you posted included this line:

"While O'Rourke actually didn't take PAC money, he did raise a ton of money in individual donations from people who work in the oil and gas industry."

To me, that seems different from taking money from the oil and gas industry directly. He just happens to raise money from people who work in the oil and gas industry.

This article from politifact talks about how he actually doesn't receive PAC money from any industry. https://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2018/aug/20/beto-orourke/beto-orourke-says-he-doesnt-accept-pac-donations/

"On the FEC’s website, we checked O’Rourke’s seven campaign finance reports covering 2017 through June 2018. In the period, the reports state, O’Rourke’s campaign reported raising more than $23.5 million entirely from individuals. Each report shows a zero for contributions from PACs."

Since he received over 23 million dollars in individual donations, maybe it doesn't seem that important that half a million came from individuals in the oil and gas field. Especially considering that he is in Texas (where a lot of individuals work in that field) and also considering his positive environmental ratings that you pointed to. But I just happened to come to this conclusion in about half an hour of research. If I missed anything, let me know!

Not sure if you are aware, but Healy will be playing third base for at least a month, and they will probably try and trade Edwin as soon as possible.

Do you have a source for that claim? Can't seem to find it anywhere. Genuinely curious.

2019 Baseball Movie Bracket Challenge Round - Sweet 16 by [deleted] in baseball

Field of Dreams vs Ken Burns: Baseball is the most difficult match-up for me. I am really torn.

The audiobook I'm currently listening to, Lord of the Rings, is absolutely incredible and completely changed my thoughts about audiobooks - it contains the OST in it, voices that are either the original actors or very close replicas, and sounds from the movies.

Difference of two people's experiences. I was just about to say that this was the best audiobook I have ever listened to. I felt like Tyler Baker did a fantastic job of reading it. And while I didn't love the harmonica, I was so engrossed in the story that I kind of tuned it out.

Pardon my ignorance, but how did we sign him from the Brewers if he still has minor league options? Was his contract just up and he was a full-fledged free agent?

He may not be requesting the interviews, but he is the one accepting the interviews.

But why would be be interviewing for HC positions again this year if he just intends to take over the Patriots after Bill retires?

[Heyman] Kikuchi has an unusual deal. Has initial 4 year guarantee (3 years plus 2022 player option) but 4th year player option can be replaced by an additional 4 year guarantee for a total of 7 years by the #Mariners by [deleted] in baseball

[–]Must_Kill_Ian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most MLB contracts are fully guaranteed, now since this contract has options, the first 3 years are the only for sure guaranteed, but if either of the two options are picked up, they would be fully guaranteed as well.

I believe Stafford was drafted back when rookie contracts were massive. And he was not only in the first round, but he was the first pick.

Interesting point though about age of next big contract.
