For anyone watching these Wild Card games, can you remind me by whose authority these copyrighted telecasts are produced? I keep forgetting and there's just nothing to remind me.

Those of you eager to serve wealthy MLB owners as volunteer Pinkertons won’t like to read this, but as usual Joe Sheehan nails the real problem:
Joe Sheehan: This trade is a microcosm of the real problem MLB has faced for decades. It’s not about haves and have-nots, but wants and want-nots. The Dodgers, and teams like them, want to win more than teams like the Tigers do, so they go out and acquire the Tigers’ best pitcher. MLB has built an entire labor strategy and media campaign around demonizing the Dodgers, when in fact it’s the Tigers who are wrecking baseball. You have to be through the looking glass to think the sport’s problem is the team that’s trying to win rather than the team that’s trading Tarik Skubal while sitting 2 1/2 games out of a playoff spot.

Absolutely agree. There's some insanely talented folks over there and they get shit done.

Love the suggestions here. I say, if they're going to have a position player pitching, though, that we ought to make the pitcher take over as DH. (This doesn't fix the problem, but I'll take any chance that I can find to suggest making the pitchers hit again.)

everyone should be safe in public spaces. ideally everyone should also FEEL safe in public spaces! but if your discomfort is based on being racist or homophobic or not wanting to see a homeless guy or a mentally ill person, none of whom are a threat to you, i don't really care how safe you feel.
