On a much lighter note: One (allegedly) fixed pitch was by Clase against the Dodgers. Clase bounced it in the dirt on purpose, but LA outfielder Andy Pages swung at it! Clase & his betting partner texted each other GIFs of a man with toilet paper around his neck & a sad puppy dog.

I completely quit online poker ~20 years ago after one bad tilt ($4K loss; my typical day's gain or loss was $100 or less). I am relieved my brain let me. I'm so glad major board/deck game sites are subscription-based. If those were for money... (Games of skill! But no-limit hold em also is.)

I don't want to re-ban things. Prohibition taught us a bitter lesson. That's why adults can legally drink alcohol. Pot regulation is much looser now & should be looser still. We need a much more precise understanding of how addictive different things are, + social stigma on highly addictive things.

Until 10 years ago (or on some issues way later) I was quite libertarian. Mosts of what's changed my mind involves fascists. Separate from the fascists I've changed my mind about sports bets. The ads being everywhere, and the content being everywhere, is so toxic. (Because addiction is so bad.)

Clase took quite a fall. As Ken Tremendous (Michael Schur) notes, in 2024 Clase had a 0.66 WHIP in 74 IP, then the Tigers & Yankees crushed him in the playoffs. Still *probably* just bad luck & small sample size but it's much harder to be certain. That uncertaintly is what kills entire leagues.

One very subtly awful thing about the current regime is that indictments don't mean what they used to. After enough of those are transparently vindictive politics (Comey, James, even Abughazelah), my default assumption that a criminal prosecution is legitimate is much easier to rebut.

One part of this that always feels like a gutpunch is the disclosure sentence so many outlets need, "The Athletic has a partnership with BetMGM" or such.
Until ~10yrs ago I was as libertarian as they come. I realized a lot of things since then. That sports betting ads are a blight is one of those.
