Cup of Coffee: April 1, 2024
Recaps, injuries, Special Agent Hoskins, Oakland plays hardball, bad team social media, billionaire arrogance, Boeing's bad culture, and ink
Good morning!
Today, in addition to the recaps, we talk about baseball possibly rising from the dead, we have some injury updates, we check in on the undercover mission of Special Agent Hoskins, we note how the city of Oakland is playing hardball with the A’s on a lease extension, we tally up the international ballplayers on MLB rosters to start the season, and we note a regrettable thing team social media accounts are doing which I hope they’ll stop doing.
In Other Stuff, we marvel at the arrogance and entitlement of a billionaire owner, we read an important story about the failure of safety culture at Boeing, and I share some personal news, the sort of which I never figured I’d share. But don’t worry, it’s not bad personal news. To some of you, I expect, it’s not good, but if that’s the case that’s your problem, not mine.
And That Happened
Here are the scores. Here are the highlights:
Angels 4, Orioles 1: On Saturday the Angels held a team meeting after the Orioles handed them their second straight embarrassing defeat to start the season. That might be the record for the earliest “oh shit, things are going off the rails” team meeting in modern baseball history. If it was, it worked. Or at least we’re gonna say it worked today because the Angels won yesterday. They won thanks to four early runs, including a Taylor Ward homer, and a solid outing from Reid Detmers and four innings of shutout relief. Now, if they lose seven of the next ten — totally possible! — we’ll forget what we said about the efficacy of Saturday’s team meeting.
Brewers 4, Mets 1: It was a shitty opening weekend all around for the Mets. They dropped all three games against Milwaukee and they lost their cool, with one of their pitchers getting both himself and the manager suspended. Not good. At least Rhys Hoskins didn’t do anything big in this one, but Mets batters only managed one run on seven hits. Really, the only good thing that happened over the weekend was the Mets AV people initiating the Driving Crooner cam. They gotta figure out how to make money on this thing. It's simply too good.
Phillies 5, Atlanta 4: Chris Sale was solid in his Atlanta debut (5.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 7 K), but Atlanta wasn’t scoring like they did in the first two games of the series and the door was left open. The Barves thought they were out of the bottom of the seventh with a 3-2 lead, but the double play the umpires initially said they turned to end the frame went to a replay review and it turns out they only turned one. I was watching it live and that was the correct call, but I still bet that the deepest reaches of Atlanta Twitter was bitching about it and, given how those folks used to roll when I would get involved in those conversations, they likely bitched about the concept of replay as a whole. It’s a fanbase that still won’t let playoff scheduling beefs from last fall go, so nothing is off the table. Anyhoo, with their new lease on life the Phillies turned a 3-2 game into a 5-3 game that inning and held on. A bummer for Atlanta. And I’d say that even if the guy pitching when the game blew up wasn’t literally named Bummer.
Blue Jays 9, Rays 2: Justin Turner homered, drove in four, and reminded me that, oh yeah, Justin Turner is on the Blue Jays now. Davis Schneider knocked in a couple too, but I knew he was with Toronto because he’s not played for anyone else. Randy Arozarena homered again for the Rays. The clubs split their four-game series.
Pirates 9, Marlins 7: The Marlins staked themselves to a 5-0 lead in the first but found themselves down 7-6 by the seventh. Nick Gordon hit a pinch-hit homer for the Fish in the bottom of the ninth to force extras, but an error and a bases-loaded walk contributed to the Buccos plating two in the top of the tenth and that was eventually that. The four-game sweep for Pittsburgh gives them their first 4-0 start since 2018, when they last finished above .500, albeit just above .500. Last year they started 20-9 but went 76-86, so let’s not go crazy yet. As for Miami: it’s their first 0-4 start in 23 years.
Reds 6, Nationals 5: Washington took a 5-3 lead into the bottom of the ninth and the man sent to close it out, Kyle Finnegan, retired the first two hitters he faced. He then battled Jonathan India for nine pitches before India doubled on pitch number ten. On the very next pitch Will Benson hit a two-run homer to tie it up. Two pitches after that Christian Encarnacion-Strand hit a walkoff solo shot. Lightning struck, man. There will be a lot of losses for the Nationals this year but not many will be gut punches like this. Or, hell, maybe they will. This team could lose like 110 games. Anything could happen, and most of it will be bad.
Tigers 3, White Sox 2: This was a close one and stood tied 2-2 heading into the ninth thanks to each team hitting two solo homers. In the final frame, however, the Tigers strung together a single, a walk, and then a pinch-hit RBI single from Andy Ibáñez and that was enough. Jack Flaherty made his Tigers debut and was pretty good, allowing one run over six while striking out seven.
Royals 11, Twins 0: Brady Singer tossed seven shutout innings and struck out 11 but he didn’t need to be that good given the violence the Royals lineup inflicted on this day. Sal Pérez hit a three-run homer in the first and drove in four. Bobby Witt Jr. had singled, tripled, and homered in the first four innings. He still failed to hit for the cycle, but that’s a good day all the same. Kyle Isbel and Maikel Garcia hit back-to-back home runs and Nelson Velázquez went deep as well as the Royals salvage one in the three-game series.
Yankees 4, Astros 3: Juan Soto went 3-for-4 and singled in the tie-breaking and, ultimately, winning run in the top of the ninth. In his first series in pinstripes Soto went 9-for-17, with a double, a homer, four RBI, and three walks. I dare say he’s good. Aaron Judge, Jon Berti, and Jose Trevino drove in the other three. No one’s season is made or broken in the first four games, but a four-game Opening Weekend sweep of the Astros in Houston is kind of a notable.
Cubs 9, Rangers 5: A lot of games got decided late yesterday and this one was no exception. Tied at five in the top of the ninth, Chicago put up a four-spot, via an Ian Happ bases-loaded walk followed by a two-run single from Seiya Suzuki, followed by a Cody Bellinger RBI infield single. Happ had four hits on the afternoon in addition to that bases-jacked walk. The Cubs avoid the sweep and get Craig Counsell his first victory with the organization.
Athletics 4, Guardians 3: Oakland wins its first game of the season in walkoff fashion. Indeed, they won it in walkoff walk fashion, when Scott Barlow entered a tie game in the ninth, walked a guy, and gave up two singles to load the bases. Stephen Vogt yanked him and put in Eli Morgan who threw four straight balls to Abraham Toro to end the game. Earlier A’s center fielder JJ Bleday tripled in one run and singled in another.
Red Sox 5, Mariners 1: I had started the second half of the afternoon watching the Padres-Giants game, but it got ugly early so I switched to this one for a bit. Not long after I tuned in Enmanuel Valdez hit what, in real time, looked like a pop up off the handle of his bat that easily cleared the right field fence for a three-run homer that made the difference in this game. On replay I realized that, no, he did not hit it off the handle of his bat and it wasn’t really a pop up even if it was hit high. Maybe it’d be better if I just watched games in slow motion. It’d be like the pre-2023 era all over again. Tyler O’Neill also went deep for Boston, who split this series 2-2 with the M’s.
Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 1: Brandon Pfaadt and three relievers held the Rockies to one run while scattering eight hits. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. singled in Arizona’s first run and doubled in their last run. In between Christian Walker hit a two-run homer, scoring Gurriel, and the other Snakes run scored on an error that did not involve Gurriel somehow. The Dbacks take three of four.
Padres 13, Giants 4: The Giants once considered catcher Joey Bart, a former first round draft pick, to be the successor to Buster Posey. That never really worked out for him, and he was designated for assignment Sunday. The precipitating event for the DFA was the Giants needing to open a roster spot for right-hander Daulton Jefferies, who started this game. Jefferies then proceeded to get shelled for nine runs on nine hits in two innings. I was going to suggest that this was because Joey Bart placed a curse on the Giants, but (a) he actually just issued a gracious thank-you to the organization in a public statement after the transaction; and (b) even if he’s a nice guy, he never really showed us much in the way of effectiveness in any facet of the game, and I suspect that extends to the efficacy of his curses. Sometimes things just happen.
There were a lot of Padres who had a good game yesterday but catcher Luis Campusano led the way with a three-run homer and an RBI single while Manny Machado and Ha-Seong Kim each knocked in three. Given how things have gone lately I would bet my right nut that Oakland signs Joey Bart as soon as they’re able. And if I’m wrong, well, a lot of people better than me have gone through life with one nut, so I’ll be fine.
Dodgers 5, Cardinals 4: The Cards led 4-0 as late as the sixth but as I suspect a lot of teams will find this year, the Dodgers are not gonna be out of a lot of games. They clawed back two runs in the sixth and then Teoscar Hernández smacked a solo shot in the eighth to make it a one-run game. After that Chris Taylor walked and Max Muncy hit a two-run shot to give L.A. the late lead that Daniel Hudson locked down. The Dodgers take three of four.
The Daily Briefing
Baseball isn’t dying?
There was a story in the Los Angeles Times yesterday about how baseball’s fan demographics are improving. The median age of TV-viewers, ticket-buyers, and jersey/merchandise buyers has gone down. What’s more, the number of kids playing youth baseball is up significantly which, given that having played the sport is the greatest single predictor of being a fan later, is a good sign. The story is rounded out with a lot of boosterism from Rob Manfred and a couple of his chief lieutenants about the success various Manfred-Era initiatives that were designed to achieve exactly this result.
All of that is good news and, unlike how I usually approach league-driven stories, I do not want anyone thinking I’m crapping on this news or thinking it’s b.s.. There’s nothing about more young players, more young ticket-buyers, and more young merch-buyers that is a bad thing for the game, on balance.
I am genuinely curious about the TV demographics cited, however:
In 2017, the Sports Business Journal reported the average age of a fan watching a baseball game on television was 57 years old . . . Half of MLB’s television viewers last year were younger than 44, according to Playfly Insights.
That’s a really dramatic drop in a relatively short period of time. It’s especially notable given that nothing really major has changed with respect to the way baseball is broadcast in that time. Yeah, a few rights deals were assumed by the league in the last year, but streaming existed then, as now. Blackouts persisted then, as now. With the exception of the Apple game on Fridays, there really hasn’t been much that has changed in the national packages.
My suspicion: that number went down steeply, and relatively recently, because of gambling. More younger people are watching the sport because younger people are more likely to have money riding on it now than they did in 2017, and that would’ve begun changing after 2018, when the sports gambling ban was overturned and legal sports gambling began to proliferate.
To be sure, it may not be all that. Some of the various youth-oriented marketing initiatives mentioned in the story could very well have helped that along. And I don’t think gambling explains the increased ticket sales and merch sales to young people because people primarily interested in gambling really don’t care about that stuff. But my guess is that the TV numbers are in no small part a function of legalized sports gambling.
Rob Manfred probably doesn’t care about that. And he may very well be right not to care about that. The game makes money based on how many people are watching it on TV, and why they’re watching it is irrelevant for those purposes. Viewers are viewers. But I do find it interesting that gambling was not mentioned or even hinted at in an article about increased interest in the game because it has to be a big factor. If it wasn’t a big factor, the league and its clubs would not be so goddamn into it.
I find the lack of gambling mentions especially curious given that the Los Angeles Times, which reported this story, has been all over the Shohei Ohtani/Ippei Mizuhara story. And given that, on the same day as this was published, so too was a story about the perils of sports gambling addiction. Makes me wonder if the Times asked Manfred and his merry men about it but were told that the league didn’t want to discuss it in the context of a story about baseball’s growth.
A couple of suspensions got handed down
The league office announced a couple of suspensions yesterday. To wit:
- Mets pitcher Yohan Ramírez got a three-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for intentionally throwing at Rhys Hoskins during Saturday’s Brewers-Mets game. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza got a one-game suspension and a fine too, because the league automatically suspends the manager when a pitcher is suspended for throwing at someone. Ramírez has appealed his suspension. Managers can’t, so Mendoza sat out yesterday’s game. I have a bit more about this stuff down in the Rhys Hoskins item today; and
- Blue Jays pitcher Génesis Cabrera was handed a three-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for causing a benches-clearing incident during Saturday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays. If you missed it, Cabrera backed up third base on a play which began with a José Caballero bunt and continued with a throwing error that inspired Caballero to try to make it all the way around to third. He was thrown out, but Caballero, apparently grumpy about the run that scored on the play, got up in Caballero’s face and then shoved him in a rather dickish way. Cabrera appealed his suspension.
Now, everyone behave yourselves. It’s the first goddamn week of the season, OK?
DJ LeMahieu has a fractured foot
Last week the Yankees said that third baseman DJ LeMahieu had a bruised right foot and that that bruise was bad enough to put him on the injured list to start the year. The general sense was that he’d miss the road trip that starts the season at which point the team would reassess.
As has become expected in Yankees Land, however, the injury has turned out to be much worse than initially reported. On Saturday the club said LeMahieu has a nondisplaced fracture in his right foot. Now the return timeframe is at “sometime in April” but no one is being specific. To be fair to the Yankees, this was all discovered in a new MRI that had always been planned for after the swelling from the suspected bruise went down. It’s not like they botched it or anything.
In the meantime, Oswaldo Caberea has been filling in at third. On Opening Day he went 2-for-4, homered, and scored twice. On Friday he had four hits and drove in three. On Saturday he hit a game-tying two-run homer in the seventh to help the Yankees win in come-from-behind fashion.
More like DJ LeMahWHO, right?
Special Agent Hoskins excelling in his undercover mission
Phillies fans hated to see Rhys Hoskins leave, even if they all knew and understood why the Phillies let him walk. As such, most Philly fans I’ve spoken two have hoped he does well in Milwaukee, at least when the Brewers are not playing Philly. They especially want to see him play well against Phillies’ rivals, such as the Mets and Atlanta.
This general scenario, in which a beloved former player is still hoped to help his old team in some way, is often couched in the humorous notion that the player is an “undercover agent” for his old team, doing its bidding in disguise. My favorite example of this was after Tom Glavine left Atlanta to pitch for the Mets and did relatively poorly, often inadvertently aiding his old club in the process. I saw it applied to Chase Utley by Phillies fans after he went to Los Angeles and became an irksome/injurious thorn in the side to the Mets. Which, now that I think about it, makes me think this could just be an NL East thing. Must investigate further.
Back to Hoskins. He’s doing a good job as an undercover Phillies agent so far. On Opening Day he slid hard into Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil, leading to the dugouts emptying and Hoskins offering up an all-timer of a “crybaby” taunt back in McNeil’s direction. On Saturday Hoskins’ harrying of the Mets continued, as he hit a two-run single in a three-run first inning, followed that up with a two-run homer in the third, and later singled and scored in the fifth. In the seventh inning Mets pitcher Yohan Ramirez was ejected for throwing behind Hoskins, which as noted above, led to the Mets not having their manager in the dugout yesterday.
Hoskins is obviously deeply in the Mets’ heads now. He will no no doubt return to his bolthole and await further instructions from Philly HQ.
Twins injury updates
On Opening Day Royce Lewis of the Twins homered and then, unfortunately, sustained a quad strain. Over the weekend we learned how bad it was: really bad. As in, Twins president Derek Falvey saying on Saturday that it's a "severe" quad strain that will put him out of action for at least a month and maybe longer.
In other Twins injury news, right-hander Anthony DeSclafani underwent forearm flexor tendon surgery on Saturday and it was officially announced that he will miss the entire 2024 season. And, given that the surgery usually has a 13-month recovery timetable, he’ll miss the beginning of 2025 as well.
DeSclafani came over in a trade from the Mariners in late January, a couple of weeks after he was traded by the Giants to Seattle. He was expected to be a back-end starter for the Twins, but he was diagnosed with a right elbow strain in mid-March.
The Twins have the most talent of all of the AL Central teams, but they’re not a juggernaut or anything, and key injuries are the sort of thing that could open the door for Cleveland, Detroit, or Kansas City. I’d say the White Sox too, but let’s not get crazy here.
Oakland is playing hardball with the A’s on an lease extension
As I’ve mentioned several times in this space, the A’s need a place to play after their current lease in Oakland is up following this season and 2028, when they figure their planned Las Vegas stadium will be built. While there has been talk of them moving to Sacramento, Salt Lake City, or playing in the Triple-A park in Las Vegas during the coming interregnum, the easiest option for them would no doubt be to continue playing in the Oakland Coliseum, even if hardly any fans are bothering to show up there now that the club has one foot out the door.
A report came out over the weekend detailing Oakland’s latest offer to the Athletics for use of the building: The city is proposing a five-year lease with an opt-out after three, which would allow the A’s to move to Vegas in 2028 if the stadium is done on time but gives the team an option if construction is delayed or if the whole deal falls through. The city is likewise dropping previous demands that, for the team to stay, Major League Baseball must allow the city to retain the Athletics name and colors in Oakland and guarantee that the city will get a future expansion team.
Hmm, that all seems like a pretty good deal for the A’s, so what might be the hangup? How about a $97 million “relocation fee”?
The $97 million extension fee, a number [Oakland municipal chief of staff Leigh] Hanson terms nonnegotiable and will be owed by the team even if it opts out after three seasons, figures to be the biggest point of contention in the upcoming negotiations. Sources indicate the A's, who currently pay just $1.5 million in rent to play in the Coliseum, offered a two-year deal and payments of $7 million and $10 million over the course of the lease, contending they have options after two seasons.
In addition to that being a lot of damn money that John Fisher likely won’t want to pay, there’s a symbolic purpose to the precise total: it is the same amount as the reported gap between the city and the club for the aborted Howard Terminal stadium project at the time the Athletics broke off negotiations with the city and announced the move to Las Vegas. So it’s personal.
And that’s not all! Oakland is also demanding that the team to assume the costs of switching over the Coliseum playing field for the Oakland Roots SC, which plays in the United Soccer League. They further want the team to execute the documents that will give their half-interest in the Coliseum site back to the city so that it can be redeveloped after they leave.
That last part is apparently something the club has already said it was amenable to doing, but everything else seems like a stretch. I mean, getting John Fisher to pay you a lot of money is probably pretty damn hard as it is, but jacking the rent up by a factor of ten and pegging it at a specific number which will remind everyone in town how much of a dick Fisher was in negotiations makes it an offer that seems almost tailor made to be rejected. If so, I suspect it’s so that Oakland officials can later say “John Fisher hated Oakland so much he’d rather have his team play in a minor league ballpark than stay here a moment longer!”
Which is to say, it’s for political purposes. And honestly, I can’t say I don’t like Oakland’s style in this regard.
If the A’s do somehow take that offer and pay through the nose to rent the increasingly decrepit Coliseum for between $20-30 million a year, I bet it’ll be because Major League Baseball leans on them hard to do so.
International player count at an eight-year low
Every year, around about Opening Day, MLB announces how many players from outside of the United States are on big league rosters. This year’s release reveals that the percentage of players born outside the United States dipped slightly to 27.8% compared to 28.5% last year. Indeed, it’s the lowest since it was 27.5% in 2016. Since 2002, the percentage has ranged from a low of 26% to a high of 29.8% in 2017.
There were 264 players from 19 countries and territories outside of the 50 states among 949 players on Opening Day active rosters and injured, restricted and inactive lists. The Dominican Republic led countries outside the U.S. with 108 players, its second-highest total since 2020, when it was at 110.
Venezuela was second at 58, followed by Cuba (18), Puerto Rico, which for MLB purposes is considered outside of the U.S. (17), Canada (13), Mexico (12), Japan (10), Colombia and Panama (five each), Curaçao (four), South Korea (three), Australia (two) and Aruba, Bahamas, Brazil, Germany, Honduras, Nicaragua and South Africa (one apiece).
Now you know. And knowing is half the battle. Or something.
Don’t do this
On Opening Day, a couple hours after the Yankees completed an inspiring come-from-behind win, its team account decided that it was important to recap a big gambling moment:
At first glance this just seems idiotic. The game was long over and the proposition which the Yankees account is discussing could no longer be bet on, so it’s roughly equivalent to your annoying coworker’s story about a poker game he played the night before.
But here the Yankees account isn’t bragging. It’s putting the idea in people’s heads that beating gambling odds is not a function of chance but a function of “settling in” like Nestor Cortes. It’s trying to suggest, by treating an element of a proposition bet as an ordinary game highlight, that the ideas of rooting for the Yankees and rooting for a given betting outcome are intertwined.
And of course it’s just gross. We are already inundated with gambling ads, gambling graphics, and gambling promotion disguised as sports analysis every time we turn on our TVs or log on to the Internet. Now we are getting a new, and I’d argue insidious form of gambling promotion from team social media accounts which people follow for game highlights, team news, and levity of various forms. There’s virtually nowhere to go if you want to consume sports but do not want to have gambling bullshit shoved down your throat.
It would not surprise me at all if we see more team accounts doing this crap. No matter how low rent and depressing it is.
Other Stuff
What arrogance. What entitlement.
The other day I passed along the news that the Washington Wizards and Capitals will be staying in the District of Columbia after the plans of team owner Ted Leonsis and Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin to move them to Alexandria, Virginia were scotched by a profoundly unenthused Virginia legislature.
On Friday a report came out from Axios which talked about how the new D.C. deal came together. And it’s fine if you care about such things. A fun detail, however, comes midway through the story in which Axios reports on the failure of the Alexandria deal, which was primarily the product of powerful Virginia state Senator Louise Lucas’ opposition to the plan.
In the story, Leonsis is reported to have never even met with Lucas until just before the whole thing died, despite the fact that everyone who knows Virginia politics knew that Lucas was the key person involved. Despite that, Lucas told another outlet recently that Leonsis "treated me as if I was invisible.” Leonsis was asked why he didn’t try to lobby the person who everyone knew held the success or failure of the project in the palm of her hands earlier. Leonsis said, "It's not my job. I'm a businessman. I'm not a politician.” He added that he finds the whole process of lobbying distasteful, saying “I mean, it just doesn't feel world-class. You don't treat big, important companies that way."
Ted Leonsis was asking the Commonwealth of Virginia for over a billion taxpayer dollars, but felt he was too “big” and too “important” to actually make his case for it. What an arrogant, entitled dickhead.
Boeing’s reckless corporate culture
We’ve talked a lot about Boeing’s problems lately. Against that backdrop comes a hell of a story from The American Prospect about how Boeing’s current generation of executives have basically cast aside its once lauded culture of engineering rigor and prioritization of safety.
Boeing was once characterized by an ethos that helped create an era in which the sorts of airline disasters which were once not-uncommon occurrences had become nearly non-existent. Now, however, the beancounters are in charge, outsourcing and union-busting has been the name of the game, stockholders have been prioritized, and those concerned primarily with safety have been sidelined. It has led to poor quality control, it likely led to two catastrophic failures which killed hundreds of people, and has no doubt contributed to the recent spate of mechanical problems which have some travelers changing their bookings to ensure they’re flying on AirBus aircraft rather than Boeing planes.
A must-read.
Oh, hey, check this out
When I grew up I was taught to believe that only sailors, carnies, and inmates got tattoos. The fact that the only person I really knew with a tattoo was my Navy veteran grandfather and the next person I knew who got a tattoo was my then-sailor brother bolstered that thinking.
That soon changed, of course. I’m not sure when societal hangups about tattoos began to recede, but in my experience it became a hell of a lot more common to see ink on normies like me in the late 90s and into the 2000s. In the past 10-15 years I am pretty sure that the number of new people I’ve met and have gotten to know who have tattoos has greatly exceeded the number of people I’ve met who do not. Maybe that just tells you more about who I hang out with these days compared to before — I married a woman who had like a dozen of them at the time and who has since more than doubled that number — but the overall trends are obvious.
Despite that, I never got one. Until Saturday afternoon, that is, when I got this on my left forearm:
This was partially inspired by the name of the newsletter which provides me with me living. It was partially inspired by my love of coffee. It was partially inspired by a photo of a coffee cup I took in a diner like a decade ago and which I’ve always been fond of for a host of personal and aesthetic reasons. But it was mostly inspired by the fact that I’ve just sorta wanted a tattoo for a while and, after a long time trying to think of something I could get which TRULY MEANS SOMETHING AND SAYS SOMETHING IMPORTANT ABOUT ME, I realized that, nah, they don’t have to mean anything apart from “I like that thing.”
In this I’m basically the subject of this post, even if I managed to cast aside any search for significance and just get something I like:
For those keeping score:
- My wife Allison: Something like 25-30 tattoos; I’ve lost count and I’m pretty sure she has too;
- My son Carlo: Three tattoos, all since he turned 18 last summer;
- Me: One tattoo, and probably counting now that I’ve broken the seal; and
- My daughter Anna: Zero tattoos, at least as far as I know, and I’m really not interested in asking, not that I think she’d tell me anyway.
I know I’ll never catch Allison. I probably won’t manage to keep up with Carlo either. Anna has the luxury of being 30 years younger than me so she can start way later and still have a chance of beating me if she decides to, but at least I won’t lose via a shutout.
What should I get next?
Have a great day everyone.
