We do not feel remotely bad

Unpopular opinion. The Dbacks should give Torey Lovullo a 2 year extension. He’s proven enough this year that he should be given 2 more years.

[John Gambadoro @Gambo987]

What they will never admit is that Lovullo should get serious consideration for Manager of the Year. He has done a pretty bang-up job with what little he has had this season. Think about ALL the injuries and a bullpen that resembles the Island of Misfit Toys. And now 7 games over .500 and tied for the second wild card. Say what you want the players respond to him and they don't ever quit. And no, he could be Irish and I would say the same thing 😂

[Mac @azsportsfien]

Nobody wants to hear it but Lovullo deserves an extension if he guides this Dback roster to a playoff spot.

It would be nothing short of miraculous considering the amount of scrubs that have been relied on.

[Mick @Mick_Signa]

We didn’t realize it at the time, but the Dbacks sweeping the Dodgers in 2023 has led to the downfall of baseball

One of the most history altering innings in sports ever

[Diamondbacks Prospects 🐍 @dbacksprospectz]

I know a few people who may not like to hear this, but....

Torey Lovullo is one of the better managers in baseball. There's a reason many in the league thinks he'll be a hot commodity in the offseason if he isn't extended by the #Dbacks

Jordan Lawlar is 23 and we are calling him a bust? He’s had 115 career major league at bats… in 18 at bats this year, he was hitting .333

That doesn’t sound like a bust to me. Let’s re visit this in 2 years

How about we discuss a "Flag of Earth" idea when other nations get close to our level when it comes to space travel.

Until then the flag that represents humanity in the Cosmos will be the Stars and Stripes.

The libtards crying that "LAND DOESN'T VOAT PEOPLE DO" are missing the point.

The U.S. is a FEDERATION. Federations are autonomous political units that joined together for collective defense and economic benefit. Unlike a unitary state like Britain or France, sub-units within a federation retain rights that the federal government cannot infringe upon (this is explicitly written into the Constitution via the Tenth Amendment) and federal governance structures are designed to accommodate this to keep everyone happy. So yes, land does in fact vote, because it is that land---specifically the states it is sub-divided into---that has explicit rights against federal overreach.

Both the Electoral College and the Senate were designed around this reality. The presidential election is not a singular event. There are 51 separate presidential elections (the 50 states plus D.C.), and the goal is to win as many of those individual elections as possible, same as the House. "IT'S NOT FAIR THAT TRUMP LOST THE POPULAR VOTE!" No, the system is working as intended. The Founders recognized that allowing one or two large states to swing national elections would collapse the Union. Trump only lost the popular vote in 2016 due to unusually low Republican turnout in California, itself caused by the fact that there was no Republican candidate for Senate that year.

For most of America's early history, individuals couldn't even vote for president. Electors were primarily appointed by state legislators, who voters COULD vote for, because it was recognized that the Electoral College was a voice for states to influence the federal government directly. When George Washington was elected, only six states (Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Virginia) held a popular vote. At the outset of the Civil War, South Carolina was still selecting electors via the state legislature, and after the war, both Florida (in 1868) and Colorado (in 1876) appointed electors due to a lack of time/money to organize a popular vote.

There's nothing stopping states from going back to this method, BTW. Florida very nearly appointed electors in 2000 because they were at risk of missing the deadline to submit their votes, and the Supreme Court itself ruled that Americans do not have the right to vote in presidential elections (which is part of why they decided in Bush's favor in Bush v. Gore). New York actually didn't cast any electoral votes in 1788 because the legislature deadlocked and missed the deadline. Gavin Newsom could abolish California's presidential popular vote tomorrow and appoint Democratic electors for the 2028 election and it would be perfectly legal.

Similarly, the reason why nobody could vote for senators until the 17th Amendment was because the Senate was explicitly intended as a legislature for the states themselves, while the House was the legislature for the people. In a federation, constituent units need their own direct channel to the federal government to resolve inter-state tensions. This is why the House and Senate, while having equal power, have different powers. The House has sole authority over the budget, for example, while the Senate has sole authority over treaties and federal appointments.

These arrangements also exist in other countries. Most of Latin America copied the American bicameral system after independence, while Australia explicitly modeled its parliament on the American system, with an upper house where each state gets the same number of seats and has roughly equal power to the lower house. Again, these arrangements are necessary for federations to prevent disgruntled states/provinces from seceding.

Welcome to the org, Mr. Considerations 💰

[ruby @rubyydoesstuff]

do u guys remember when someone hit a hr and it was ruled foul and then immediately after he homered again bc i do

[Illegal Rib Dealer @tubingtyler1]

The wind up from that umpire was beautiful.

[Barstool Big 12 @BarstoolBig12]

So #12 Arizona State loses on the last play @ Mississippi State (who is now 27th in votes) and drops completely out of the rankings. Then wins a great game @ Baylor.

Illinois loses by 53 POINTS and still gets to be ranked instead of ASU

Make it make sense.

[Peter Bukowski @Peter_Bukowski]

RedZone was never that great because removing context from the game makes it less exciting, not more.

[David Zäch @DavidZach16]

Watching RedZone feeds a lack of focus and is a far worse experience than immersing yourself fully into a single game beginning to end

[no feet baseball 🐍 @NoFeetBaseball]

Four homer game hadn’t happened since 2019(?) and there’s been 3 this year

[Dalton Feely @dfeely14]

The 2025 Braves have become the 1st team in MLB history to allow multiple 4 home run games to an opposing player in a single season
