    So frustrating. Glasnow has looked good the last couple outings which is a refreshing thing.

    Cash is very cautious with pitch count. Its weird that pitchers go down so often.

    Yandy's injury last night was a result of B. Lowe making a bad throw on a ball he had no business playing. Franco was in position to make the play/throw and Brandon cut him off and threw wild.

    Maybe the big early cushion will be helpful as they are still just 2 games back even with Baltimore being on fire and the Rays sucking this month.

    When the water levels out I think the boat still floats.

    Hopefully.

    Yeah if they do make a trade, I wouldn't mind if B Lowe were part of it, though I doubt he would be. But he's just wildly inconsistent. Trade Lowe and promote Aranda with his 1.051 OPS at Durham.

    Odd, I grew up during WWII but never saw that as a Swastika until you posted that. I doubt that anyone else in Ron's campaign did either because it was meant to be a wheel it appears. I've also seen native indians and central american natives with similar insignias, so what.

    You might want to actually read up on the issue, including the since fired staffer that put it in there and his background.

    Swastika or not, it's a super creepy image with the soldiers marching towards it and DeSantis.

    I never said it was a great add, but just picking up that part is just a reach as I see it.

    Bingo.

    Lowe has this great upside that I dont know if we will ever see. That shot he hit last night was an absolute bomb, but those have become the exception.

    Go get Stroman and/or maybe add Blake Snell. (Ironic rumor floating around).

    DeSatan continues to be-clown himself

    ‘Embarrassingly Bad’: DeSantis Fans Pan Candidate For Offering ‘Loony Quack’ RFK Jr. a Job in His Administration

    I’m aligned with him on Fauci and the corruption and the health bureaucracies 100%. And I think he’s probably done said some other things that I agree with, too. But the end of the day, you know, he’s more liberal,” explained DeSantis before concluding “and so on that regard, it’s like, okay, if you’re president, sic him on the FDA. If he’d be willing to serve, or sic him on CDC.”

    I see what’s going on with DeSatan now. He deeply deeply doesn’t want to be President but he has a dark rider, an alternate personality that if elected will start global thermonuclear war. Sort of like Stephen Kings Dead Zone. The little glint of a human trapped inside him is trying to derail the candidacy to save the world from Annihilation. So far it’s winning.

    Likely future DeSatan quote “let’s face the Jews deserved it” or white people deserve reparations

    Lapado is a quack, which is why DeSantis appointed him. It's an embarrassment to UF and the entire state of Florida that he is in those positions.

    I'll tell you what's not happening in Desantistan: Desantis.

    I guess 1-trick-ponyism, arrogance & condescension isn't a winning combo.

    Ron DeSantis' popularity plunges to lowest in poll's history

    Ron DeSantis' net approval rating has slumped to a new low of -24 according to an opinion survey, the worst it has been since the pollster started tracking the Florida governor in May 2022.

    The Civiqs poll concluded that on July 26 some 57 percent of registered American voters had a negative view of DeSantis, versus just 33 percent with a positive impression and 10 percent who were unsure.

    DeSantis is currently running for the Republican presidential nomination, with polling indicating he is currently the second most popular choice with GOP voters after Donald Trump. However the DeSantis campaign has struggled to make headway against the former president, and earlier this week fired a staffer after they reportedly included a Nazi-associated symbol in a video promoting the Florida governor.

    New legislation was passed to shield his use of state funded transportation. Without this accident we wouldn’t have known about it.
