(47) A Deep Dive Into A Fictional Offensive Boom, or: What Changed in the Past Year?

August 27, 2019 7:05 am

Home Runs are up. Batting averages are up. Strikeouts are up. Can anyone make sense of these trends? Is this an offensive boom or a pitching renaissance? The Baseball Rabbi collects the numbers and determines what’s actually going on… and figures out exactly what changed between 2018 and 2019. Plus: the puzzling St. Louis Cardinals (who look mediocre or worse but have a clear path to the playoffs), and the surging Washington Expos (aka the Nats).

#Republican former New Jersey @GovCTW calls #Trump's @GOP a "cult," and she believes a new, more centrist party could rise up in its place.

"I'm a firm believer that our country does better with two parties, a center-left and the center-right," Whitman tells @MargaretHoover.

"A government that arose through blind hatred, out of evil argument not for the sake of heaven... a cursed government..."

A thread about religious Knesset members and the language they sometimes use against their opponents.

So my @Delta flight to New York was canceled, after an initial leg from Tel Aviv to Boston. I was told by an agent this morning that I would be notified about any changes by email. Nope. I found out by showing up. Not cool, Delta. (Yes cool @7News who interviewed me just now.)

All podcasters who use @SoundCloud: maybe this latest problem (the server 100% down) means that it's time to take the plunge and switch to an actual podcasting host like @libsyn. That's my plan...
