• No automatic recount, even in a very close race.
• Qualified absentee ballots due 11/10.
• County-certified results due 11/13.
• Official results scheduled for 12/3.
I've been on Twitter for 18 years, and I'm only just discovering that you can bring back pitchers hitting in the NL directly from the Copy Link option.
Don't count out the Dbacks or *gasp* Athletics.
Skubal was a huge A's fan as a kid in the San Francisco Bay area, and moved to Arizona around age 10 (about 90 minutes from Vegas). His family is still there, and he now lives closer to Phoenix and considers Arizona his home.
@Jaberuski I love it. I've disliked the SEC Championship game for a long time. Spoiled lots of potential national championship seasons and weakened the conference's prospects for the top bowl/championship selections. I say good riddance!
@TheDailyBraves Going out on a limb to say a Hustle Inside-the-park Home Run should be inserted at the top. It's like a hustle triple with the added bonus of scoring from the batter's box.
Similarly, a "Little League home run" is also a lot of fun, but perhaps less fun than a HR robbery.
@StacyBenedik@ChopAbusador He plays both positions, and 2B is easier and less expensive to replace at the MLB level than SS. Keeping the young prospect at SS makes more sense than paying through the nose for a costly and/or declining MLB one.
I was disappointed that Walt Weiss wasn't NL Manager of the Year, but when I look at the Brewers squad, I kinda get it: Strong leadership helped a squad full of role players perform much better as a team than the sum of their parts on paper would warrant. Good for Pat Murphy.
@og_yungdilly Only if they pay a huge portion of his contract. Braves need a shortstop but have one coming up fast through the system. Five years of AAV higher than the Braves have ever paid is a lot for a declining shortstop who missed ~50 games a year.
