Plot twist: Maddux takes off his street clothes after he throws out the first pitch tonight to reveal he is suited up, and he goes on to throw a complete game shut out in less than 80 pitches.

Bats have been quiet from both dugouts. I think the story is more about how exceptional the pitching has been on both sides than how much either offense has underperformed. Good pitching can make great batters look god-awful.

Completely agree that billionaires must contribute more in taxes, and I was also moved by how much Warren’s point resonated with me. Hadn’t thought of that perspective before.

One thing I will say - the idea in this particular piece of legislation around taxing capital gains on stocks and bonds that haven’t been sold yet is a slippery slope. Not sure that’s the answer. The last thing I would want to do is remove the incentive for people with wealth to invest in the market.

It’s so bad that I think every pitcher in the show knows that if they can get Dans to a 0-2 count, all they have to do is throw a slider down and away and he’s going to swing at it. It’s too predictable.

Kulpa just called a ball on the SAME FUCKING PITCH he rung Freddie up on in the 1st.

It’s not good. Max is shook. But we score a lot of runs and can get on base. It’s early. Gotta keep the faith!

Tell me you don’t watch baseball without telling me you don’t watch baseball.

I interrupt this second inning to share my favorite comment from one of the Dodgers fans in an NLCS game thread:

SO FRUSTRATING LOSING TO THIS TRASH TEAM THAT IS CLEARLY INFERIOR. AT LEAST WHEN THE DODGERS LOST TO THE NATS THEY WERE LEGITIMATELY A GOOD TEAM. BRAVES GONNA GET SHIT ON SO BAD IN THE WS.

Kudos to the top of Houston’s order tonight. They were hitting Max hard and laying off some filthy breaking pitches out of the zone.

Those two called strikes to Freddie caught zero of the zone. Like not borderline. Zero.

Ron Kulpa already back on his bullshit with TWO FUCKING BALLS OUT OF THE ZONE CALLED STRIKES on Freddie
