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

@jec79 @EScrimshaw Do we know why he delayed it past the Saturday?

[Rob Silver @RobSilver]

@_mattywood_ Your Dodgers are a slightly different reality to most 🤣

I do think buying season tickets if you know you can consistently sell them at not a loss if not a small profit is a good call

[Rob Silver @RobSilver]

@garossino26 @EScrimshaw David Peterson will finally not be the only cautionary tale used every time 🤣

Has an ‘interim leader’ ever won in any Westminster system election? Especially one selected after the call?

I’m quite sure this will be a first in Canada but has it ever happened anywhere?

[Rob Silver @RobSilver]

@_mattywood_ It’s a big selling point to get people to lock into packages instead of buying game by game - which for the team is huge (get money in the winter when nobody knows how good they’ll be 🤣)

[Rob Silver @RobSilver]

@sergeibaka @OmerOsman200 You look like you could still give this team 18 minutes a game off the bench- so good seeing you there and you deserve all the love

[Rob Silver @RobSilver]

I get this decision but the job of our diplomats in the US is actually to engage with politicians there

That’s not ‘interference’ - every country does it in every country

Again - I get why we did this given Dementia Donny

Vivek Ramaswamy's October surprise

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

with 12 days until the midterm elections, the entire republican party has coalesced around attacking a woman for having been raped by her stepfather when she was twelve

When you’ve lost Peter Thiel…

Peter Thiel breaks with Trump over Iran war: ‘We should not have done it’

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

40% of patients suffering from dementia have “VBD” (vocally disruptive behavior)

They are sudden, disruptive and surprising to the patient.

Which is why he seems stunned for a moment.

The reason they keep giving him the MoCA test, is they know he is in severe cognitive decline.

He is a national security risk.

[Rob Silver @RobSilver]

@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?

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

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

This is a major imminent strikes indicator.

[jbulltard @jbulltard1]

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.

[Rob Silver @RobSilver]

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

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

*META: ZUCKERBERG MAY RELOCATE FROM CALIFORNIA IF PROP 40 PASSES

[Rob Silver @RobSilver]

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

[Rob Silver @RobSilver]

@jobberfan Totally agree

[Rob Silver @RobSilver]

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.
