But she likely outweighs all of Dan's cats combined.

We have a lovely pit/retriever mix named Ruby

3:28

She's between 10 and 11 months old and weighs like 80 pounds.

Let me find a picture really quickly, but yeah, she's the best.

Couldn't figure out how to drop that into the chat directly, but there she is being happy at daycare.

I have an 11 month old beagle/retriever mix and she is also the best, so I know the feeling!

Ben Clemens

3:30

:) dogs are the best

No offense to Dan or anything.

But the best.

If anyone needs a baseball book rec, please read Ball Four. It's as good as advertised

Ben Clemens

3:31

Another great one that I inexplicably missed.

Yeah, definitely read Ball Four if you haven't.

What do you think of Keeper Fantasty Leagues

Ben Clemens

3:32

It's a cool idea

I haven't done one before, because I haven't generally had strong enough groups that will definitely keep playing over time.

But I like how much it rewards time spent, thats pretty awesome really.

Or K A history of baseball in 10 pitches

Ben Clemens

3:34

This is one I haven't read but would like to

3:35

I wonder if a baseball book club would get any traction in this baseball-light time.

Would be a good excuse to do a little more reading, at the very least.

Can we go ahead and give Dave a lifetime ban for trying to act like there was even a chance that Holliday might have touched home plate? Thanks.

Ben Clemens

3:36

Haha, I do thikn it's pretty conclusive that he didn't touch.

But also, I understand that different people can perceive the same event quite differently.

Even down to the facts.

3:37

That said, uh, yeha, I don't think he touched.

3:38

On that note, I'm going to call it a day for this chat. Not quite as much random trivia as I'd hoped, but Albuquerque is definitely a hard-to-spell city.

See you guys same time next week. Be safe!
