Sloan interview:

[Donn Beach]

I was thinking Anderson seems like an interesting guy, that he's going to be fun. See the deal where he wouldn't call his start a debut? lol

“This doesn't technically count as a debut,” Anderson said. “I think some people might say that, but I don't know.”

He brought up other pitchers too

“I think it just comes with experience,” Anderson said. “Also when you like, see the other starters, they're just so calm. I think when you're calm out there, it just makes life a lot easier.”

Imagine what Ankiel went through. Impossible to stay calm given they don't allow Vodka on the mound.

I was thinking, were there pitchers smoking on the mound? I mean why not? I mean pre-woke. There was chewing tobacco. I'd forgotten how that's changed. All the tobacco spitting. That must have made some of them nervous

There's a ballplayer

I saw Al Cowens smoking in the Dugout in the early 80s. Died about 20 years later. I am thankful Cigs never did anything for me.

btw my X account got jacked and when I try to reset my password the code gets sent to the hackers email account so I am fucked. Lost a lot of respect for Elon.. Just insanity.

I can remember getting caught with cigarettes when I was a little kid by my father. He laid into me and it stuck. That's like the only time in my life I can think of that happening, and yeah, I'm thankful.

Honestly I feel for you about your X, that's fucked up. I deal with anxiety over getting locked out of my social accounts. I'd lose gadgets and it be a nightmare of catch 22 loops trying to re-establish things. And you can't do a thing about it. Remember when there were helplines? You could actually contact someone. They absolutely don't give a fuck anymore.

Thank you. Yes, anxiety is the worst torture I have ever endured and it isn't even close. Little things like that are what trigger it. Having no control of your life.

Well let's hammer on Musk a bit if he's out of favor. He seems like such an incredible snake oil salesman to me. All the stuff he's promised that hasn't materialized. He's outright lied far as I'm concerned. Robots being secretly manipulated by operators. All the Tesla goals he's never met. Nobody seems to mind. His entire empire seems based on his promises, Starlink is legitimate I guess, im using Starlink

You can't contact anyone at X to reset your account?
