I talk baseball on Launch Angle podcast - the world’s 2nd best fantasy baseball podcast. 2016 NFBC Main Event overall winner. Sometimes I talk Canadian politics

@MichaelSolberg I’m trying to think what other campaigns would be in the running for most unlikely turnaround from before the writ to EDay in the last 50 years in Canada?

I can think of surprise results that came out of nowhere like Rae’s win in Ontario but a turnaround is different?

BREAKING: US military aircraft are being evacuated from Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, per initial reports.

This is a major imminent strikes indicator.

impressive from $TSLA

- miss on revenue
- 2.6% operating margins
- energy, their big growth driver is -16%
- automotive revenue -3%

This is a car company who gaslights people into thinking it's an energy company and here we are with car sales down and energy sales down too.

Everyone wants Ohtani healthy but this has such bad vibes to it.

He had multiple injuries and the answer is…it’s all going to be ok

I hope it is

[Talkin' Baseball @TalkinBaseball_]

Shohei Ohtani will NOT need surgery this off-season. The Dodgers are still planning on having him pitch again in 2027, per @BNightengale

[Rob Silver @RobSilver]

He’ll owe the money either way given the policy design

So move, don’t move who cares

The actual response to this should be ‘go f#%k yourselves’

Canada and Canadians have every right in the world to say whatever we want

Same way the Americans do

This is performative BS

I assume it was also about Iran given Canada’s support for the war to date

PM Carney, Trump spoke this morning ‘for quite some time,’ addressed ‘some of the issues around trade’ https://t.co/2CpqehtAzD

@jobberfan Totally agree

The federal government is going to face a ton of pressure in the next year or two to reverse the prohibition on sports betting if the provinces don’t take real action

The best solution IMO is ban the apps - allow in person sports books at casinos.

We are so much closer to the start of this war than the end of this war

Shame on everyone who started this or supported it

Gaming is provincial but the disaster we are facing was triggered by a federal parliament decision

And it wasn’t the ‘government’ - it was a private members bill that got passed (and I supported it, and was so very wrong)

But the status quo isn’t tenable - we all know that

What would they say if we had ads on air right now in key states?

The U.S. Embassy in Ottawa has just issued a fact sheet accusing Canadian politicians of trying to influence American politics. It ends with a rather pointed warning: "Americans decide America’s elections."

@JoshuaHowsam Yup players have way more value as ‘dead money’ than anything they can actually do on the field.

Good times.

Does his disease get cured if he’s traded?

If he’s with the warriors he might retire but if he’s traded…what?

@JoshuaHowsam Ya forgot about stupid cap stuff

[Pedro L. Gonzalez @emeriticus]

JD is saying Amy Acton was not raped as a little girl. Even though there are court documents reviewed by *National Review* that confirm details of her story. Even though Acton’s brother backs her story. Vance has a daughter. But like Bernie Moreno, Vance is such a sycophant that he can’t even be a father first for two minutes. It’s always politics and always the most vile politics. Just an abject failure of a man and a father.

[Rob Silver @RobSilver]

@TheSeigeDFS Ah - of course

The stupid shit people who want a salary cap in baseball never mention

[James Fishback @jamesfishback]

The same people who tell us to "get over" the Epstein files are now telling you to "stop whining" over an ad that attacks a woman by recruiting her estranged mom, who is complicit in years of childhood sexual abuse.

I’m a Republican, but our party has a serious problem.

[Pedro L. Gonzalez @emeriticus]

JD Vance, author of “Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith,” has a closing midterm message for Republicans: stop whining about child rape
