Can someone explain this to me ? I've tried to see how it's making it harder for POC to vote, which is what I've seen the headline be. But how though? I saw they won't allow food and water from anyone that's not working polls, less ballot drop boxes, and no mail in votes.

Is it saying that POC in that area won't have the resources to make their way to a place to vote, therefore they wouldn't be able to vote ?

edit. Ahh I see the food and water decision is controversial because more often there are "usually longer lines in disproportionately black precincts." That's whack. I don't understand any reasoning for wanting to do that?

and am I missing anything else ?

Interviewing people on the street has been proven to be the best way to gather data. Why do you think Jay Leno is such a great researcher?

Shohei 100.6 mph fastball, fastest of the year so far. Next inning hits a 115 mph HR, hardest hit of the season so far.

lol I'm aware. He's been on my fantasy team since he entered the league.

His potential is exciting, but my original skepticism was if he could be a star at both positions simultaneously, and do it longterm. So far all he does is get hurt. Its like his hobby.

Yeah, I kinda feel the same. Its an amazing story and he's obviously ultra talented, but I feel like doing both holds him back. Or at least he won't live up to his potential because of it.

Castellanos gets plunked on purpose, has a pitcher drive a knee into his back when sliding, and he gets suspended for flexing after he scored the run?

LOL

seriously stupid. He got beaned. And then scored on a wild pitch with contact at the plate and he's not supposed to be excited? LMAO and people wonder why young kids gravitate to football or basketball more.

let them celebrate and showboat for f**ks sake.

It's just ridiculous that he is being suspended for "instigating" the benches clearing. The only person who instigated anything was the guy who always "takes exception" to something, and never gets criticized for trying to police the game.
