  - Battle was decided before it was ever fought. For Rendon, Arte, and the Halos. Team Payroll matches the DBacks. $100M off top teams -- nm - budice Apr 21, 14:27 4
    - Rendon likes to be on the IL. I still can't believe that stupid excuse he gave for not wanting to play on the Dodgers. He wanted a more family - jnine Apr 21, 14:50 3
      - He killed the Mets for years and was glad when he left the Nats but good gravy he’s been one of the worst FA signings ever. -- nm - Tim Apr 21, 15:11

look Kimbrel should probably bronze every save ball he gets at this point but not sure what’s so special about 422 -- (link) - hollywood big shot Apr 21, 11:51 8
- Apparently he thinks tying Wagner for 7th all time in saves is a milestone. *shrug* -- nm - Krusty Apr 21, 11:53 7

Notwithstanding how impressive her entire body of work is, taken as a whole, of the songs I’ve heard so far from TTPD nothing has really stood out, musically speaking -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 21, 08:36 26
- I'm not a pop music expert so my comment isn't all that meaningful - crash davis 😺 Apr 21, 12:15 7
  - We listened in the car yesterday on the way to Sheffield. We could 100% tell which we're Dessert songs and which were Antonoff songs but we are huge - amandaphone Apr 21, 13:30 2
    - I just heard The Prophecy and really liked the guitar work. I just checked and it is Swift/Dessner. I think a lot of the moments I like are Dessner - crash davis 😺 Apr 21, 13:45 1
      - Maybe you should .... check out the national!!! -- nm - amandaphone Apr 21, 15:24

    - Lana is just not as brilliant a marketer. -- nm - amandaphone Apr 21, 13:30

      - Which fine…20yr old girl. She’s now a 34yr old megastar leading a female wave of empowerment. - Will Hunting Apr 21, 10:33 2
        
        From what I've read, there were hints that this was essentially getting the rest of that out there before moving on from the break up song focus. -- nm - pmb Apr 21, 14:35
        
        I don't get going to England on your own, when you could be with family if you're that freaked. She was 26 when the whole phone call thing made her -- (edited) - jnine Apr 21, 10:38
- I think that's some of the consensus. With the Eras Tour wrapping up, not sure there would be a separate tour for it. -- nm - budice Apr 21, 08:42
