If he loses in November, which I am not willing to assume just yet, the party will quickly move to disavow him, and individual politicians will rewrite history to say they never really supported him. It is on us to stop them from doing so.

@Dave: Different doughs for different temperatures. I use Vetri's Neapolitan for my outdoor oven, which gets to 800+. Reinhart's is my go-to for indoors, where I set the oven at 500.

What are you missing most about having no minor league season this year?
Keith Law
3:26
All of it. Going to games to scout, and to see scout friends, and watching stuff online, and following players through box scores, and talking to scouts and player development people about players.
Leprekhan
3:27
Long term Soroka or Fried?
Keith Law
3:27
I feel better about Fried staying healthy over the long term than Soroka. Both are probably #2 starters.
Ethan
3:27
Any suggestions for Carcassonne expansion packs? Already have hills and sheep and traders and builders. Thanks!
Keith Law
3:27
I like Inns & Cathedrals. Haven't tried Hills & Sheep.
Todd Boss

I know he's not a major prospect, but Nats farmhand Tres Barrera (who was recently hit with an 80game PED suspension) filed a counter suit.  In the complaint he says he tested positive for "10 picograms" of DHCMT.  In mass units, a picogram is equal to 0.000000000001 of a gram.

If this is true, is this just a patently ridiculous suspension?  Is a MLB player actually being suspended without pay for 80 games for ingesting less than a millionth of a gram of a performance enhancing substance?
Keith Law
3:29
I'm probably out of my league answering this, but I think the issue is that you wouldn't have that in your system at all unless you'd ingested it, because it's synthetic.
Adam Trask
3:29
Nick Madrigal gets the call. You see real value there or replacement level?
Keith Law
3:29
More than replacement level. Maybe an average regular if he can keep his average up. My concern remains his inability to make hard contact, with zero power.
Todd Boss
3:29
So are you in a Sinclair market that's being forced to show Plandemic?  Are you setting your DVR?
Keith Law
3:30
I am not. I think we're an hour-plus from their nearest affiliate.
Danny
3:30
Simple question and not at all wishcasting- what are the odds that Trump is indicted at some point post-presidency (i.e. election fraud, tax fraud, money laundering, improper profiteering from office?)
Keith Law
3:30
I hope that whoever succeeds him, whenever it happens, holds him and his cronies (and his children) accountable for any crimes they've committed, rather than pardoning them and saying we need to move forward or turn the page. The latter would simply encourage the next set of grifters who come along.

We’ve learned JK Rowling is a bigot. I was looking forward to reading the Potter books to my baby girl. Should I still?
Keith Law
3:31
Yes.
There is a lot of good in those books, even though their author has revealed herself to be a TERF.
Don
3:31
How did we get brainwashed as a country to prefer chicken breasts over chicken thighs?
Keith Law
3:32
Our national fat phobia, along with bad advice from some quarters of the federal health establishment.
David
3:32
Keith, do you think Jeff Lunhow will work in an MLB front office again?
Keith Law
3:32
My guess is no.
Eric
3:32
Sadly, my father unexpectedly passed. Do you have any tips for grief or any good books to rec? It's...hard.
Keith Law
3:33
I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't have a book to recommend, but would certainly suggest talking to a therapist or psychologist, even if it's just for a few sessions.
Robbie
3:33
He's already 29, so clearly he's not a prospect, but what's your opinion of Yaz. He seems to have a great approach and has continued to hit the ball hard to start the season
Keith Law
3:33
Extra outfielder at best.
Pat D
3:33
Is there any movie that's SUPPOSED to come out this year that would get you into a theater?  I'm still very determined to see Tenet in IMAX.
Keith Law
3:33
No, I'll wait to see them all at home.
Drew
3:33
If you saw an anti-mask tirade in real life like we're seeing all over the news, would you step in? I keep picturing myself wanting to get involved but also not wanting to be in the cloud of a covidiots screaming and spittle.But my 2020 rage could use a good screaming.
Keith Law
3:34
I think I would. I haven't told anyone to put a mask on, even though I've seen people without them, or "wearing" them off their noses and mouths.
If they're giving an employee a hard time, though, that employee would probably benefit from other customers voicing support. I think.
Greg
3:35
Why does there seem to be a very local contingent of fans who are seemingly convinced that sports media are driving some kind of agenda to get sports cancelled? Just general distrust of media of any kind? If the fans are for something, that means the media must be against it? Or just a more widespread dumbing of America?
Keith Law
3:35
Distrust of media, and wishful thinking. The funny part is that they think we have some power to affect the outcome.
Arnold
3:36
Today's reports that national pandemic plan was tossed in trash by Jared because COVID-19 was hurting blue cities/states more is both least surprising and most frightening thing yet from this administration.
Keith Law
3:36
And should make more people mad ... but it won't.
Brett
3:36
Thank you for your taking time to do this today. Kris Bubic makes his big league debut tonight. Have you seen him live, and if so, what did you like/dislike? What’s your ceiling on him long term?
Keith Law
3:36
Low ceiling but command/changeup guy who should succeed for a while as a back-end starter.
Don
3:36
Leury Garcia is secretly a yoked muscle hamster. Jacked two dongs from both sides of the plate in the opener
Keith Law
3:37
ISO under .100 last year. He's strong for his size, but that size is awfully close to me.
