This week's edition of The Twenty is pretty insane. Not only do I have YUNGBLUD on the list, our cover of the week is sung by Lana Del Ray. However! - Qale Jul 19, 19:34 [spotify] 2
- Fill in the blank please. "I should listen to The Twenty when I'm _________" -- nm* - con_carne Jul 19, 20:51 1

I’m pronouncing the 2019 Cincinnati Reds dead. Up 7-0 and they gave up 10 runs in the 6th. They’ll never recover. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 19, 18:46

- Soroka is actually at 3.2, too. - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Jul 19, 18:33
- I can’t believe I haven’t seen any hot takes that the Derby messed up Alonso. -- nm - Tim Jul 19, 18:27
- And then... - Strongbad Jul 19, 18:22
Within 5 years, half of the teams in baseball are going to use the opener. - Tim Jul 19, 17:18 24
- Good example! Yep, when a pitcher is struggling, an opener can get through the top of the order, or once through the order...makes it so much easier -- (edited) - Flavorize Jul 19, 20:36 1
  - That's exactly who started. -- nm - Tim Jul 19, 21:24
- Also it is 92 degrees here at a quarter to 9 and not many places in Yankee Stadium have a breeze. Send help. -- nm - Tim Jul 19, 17:45 13
  - And it's an open stadium unlike the old one. Normally it's very breezy in the stands but it's a terrible day out there. -- nm - Krusty Jul 19, 18:01 4
    - I’ve always found it has poor air circulation. -- nm - Tim Jul 19, 18:03 3
      - I've had a different experience. I don't think I could sit out there and watch a game in this weather. -- nm - Krusty Jul 19, 18:05 2
        
        The view and the food are better at Citi. :) -- nm - Tim Jul 19, 18:06 1
        
        The food, yes. -- nm - Krusty Jul 19, 18:10
  - You should feel like you are in Hell if you are a Yankees fan because that is where you are going soon anyway. -- nm - Bacon Jul 19, 17:46 7
    - I am not. But my dad (a Red Sox fan) bought the tickets. We alternate Mets and Yankees but were rained out last year. -- nm - Tim Jul 19, 17:47 6
      - I appreciate Mets fans for not taking the easy way out. Yankee fans are just horrible people -- nm - Bacon Jul 19, 17:48 5
        
        And if anyone is taking me seriously. - Bacon Jul 19, 17:53 4
        
        And also, how do you not know I’m a Mets fan? -- nm - Tim Jul 19, 17:53 3
        
        I don't pay much attention to fandoms. I know you are a pharmacist, so there is that. -- nm - Bacon Jul 19, 17:55 2

        Go Giants!!! -- nm - Bacon Jul 19, 18:17
- Do you remember Chuck James? - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Jul 19, 17:27
- The only issue is that you can't do it all that often or you'd burn out the bullpen. -- nm - Krusty Jul 19, 17:25 6
  - I can see teams having 2-3 dedicated starters and the rest guys that can do a couple innings each, and eschewing a closer entirely. -- nm - Tim Jul 19, 17:40 1
    - I feel like teams need a minimum of three starters. The load on the pen would be too much if they were being used for whole games 3 out of 5 times. -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 19, 18:03
  - Tampa does it 80% of the time. -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Jul 19, 17:27 3
    - They have three or four starters right now. They do use it often but let's see a team do it and win in the playoffs. - Krusty Jul 19, 18:00 2
      - But what if a team fully committed? Instead of a traditional SP rotation, swap out for rubber armed; what are currently long relief pitchers? - JD Jul 19, 19:03 1
        
        I don't think it can work for long. Guys are in the bullpen for a reason and it's usually because they're either not good enough to start or lack -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 19, 20:24

Whoa. Rumours of Oilers dealing Lucic to the Flames for James Neal - Reagen Jul 19, 14:59 4
- Oh yeah! -- (link) - Shaun Jul 19, 17:48
- Letting James Neal go is what killed the Predators. He's a legit difference maker. -- nm - David Jul 19, 15:04 2
  - I mean, also the playoffs killed that team. - Will Hunting Jul 19, 15:15 1
    - Nashville couldn't score on the power play after Neal left. - David Jul 19, 15:25
