@jonfavs@danpfeiffer isn’t “Finish the job” essentially Trump’s argument too? Biden co-opted it for free on national TV while Trump’s dealing with DeSantis.
As continuous as the dismissal is along with the inherit racism that is included the the popular name and the disdain with which players and spectators treat it, it seems like quite an easy issue to solve really.
If you penalize the batters it takes all of the necessity out of the non-striker runout.
Plus the action of the non-striker runout is game-breaking at any level as you have to argue and reset for the next delivery.
I watched this so many times. My proper introduction to cricket, just ahead of my 10th birthday. I even asked for the dual-swish/scoop bat that Hayden swept with relentlessly. My first “real” cricket bat size 5 Kashmir that had a yellowish off-white costing.
I hope it plays.
@jonfavs@danpfeiffer The seats that Warnoc and Ossoff ran for in ‘20, were they strategically chosen for the candidate? More to the point did Warnoc run against Loeffler in the special because he seemed more likely to win again in ‘22 if he won in ‘20?
@pitre_rohit@PeterDellaPenna In theory, all creases extended through the field of play at all times anyway, so it’s not as much imaginary as it is unmarked.
It’s gonna take a massive effort to keep Kobach and the GOP gov candidate out of Topeka in November especially without abortion on the ballot
Obviously it’s on the ballot if a GOP candidate is as well. But it’s going to be hard to get Trump ‘20 voters to see that, I think.
It’s good that the amendment failed yesterday, obviously. I’m unclear as to how many Trump/No voters there actually are. But I don’t think it’s as large of a mid-term predictor, for Kansas at least, as some might think.
I have a hard time believing that a Trump/No voter can be flipped D. Some may see the truth which is that the GOP is a right-wing extremest party at their core and that a vote for any GOP office holder furthers their cause, but I don’t think that message breaks through to all.
