(which makes sense)

It's like in baseball, everyone is all about control

But being good involves a lot of velo

How does service time work for rookies this year? How many days off can add a year?

Ben Clemens

So everything is pro-rated

3:31

So take your days of service time and multiply by 186/66 I believe

So the math works out to 6 games off getting you below 170

6 days off rather

But I'd imagine teams would take it to 10 just to ensure no surprises and no 'hey this is bad faith' arguments

Though to be clear it's very obviously in bad faith

Fair enough. My only golf experience is mini golf so I'd rather be good at that

Ben Clemens

Oh me too

There's a bar here in SF that is mini golf indoors with a bar

We had a date planned for it and everything

Bam, COVID'ed

3:33

I wonder if it will just never open again :(

Love me a little mini golf though

3:34

I would not say I'm particularly good, but is anyone particularly good?

Alright now that we've essentially turned this into trick shots and drinking games, I'm going to call it a chat. Thanks for hanging out today everyone, and I hope that the coming weeks give us more opportunities to tlak about whimsical fun things and fewer opportunities to talk about how miserable life is.

Have a great day, be safe, and wear a dang mask, though hey, not a single commenter telling me that masks are a joke today, so hat tip to all of you guys
