In the end, they do not move him if he was a good teammate.

heh... it's a billion dollar operation that is a baseball organization - it has something to do with baseball. I get it that it's not based on what I just said, but I also didn't say that - I said it helped. I bet if Devers didn't spend the first month of the season suckin donkey D on offense with historically bad numbers ... but say, he hit .380 in the span instead, it would have factored some.

3.01" for the weekend and 4.87" on the month. In the past 45 days, over 15" has fallen.

This move had absoluely zero point zero to do with baseball...non-factor. It was about finances and (frayed) relationships.

I don't think so. You don't move that much money overnight....this was in the works for a bit-

i also wonder if the fact that they swept the Yanks, and took 2/3 in the last two previous series, while Devers was slumping and not really helping them on offense, just might of maybe helped the final inking be a little more legible ...

Absolutely...he's a shit-bag. I wanted him gone, but not for a bag of balls. What frustrated me is they valued saving more money over getting any talent back in return. The issue isn't Devers, but rather the continued deemphasis of the collection of premium talent.

Yes and here too, we had 11 of those days. The station maximum was set in 2011 though when they reached 108, the same as Newark on the same day?

Still skeptical of that we end up with a big dog heat event, but the signal is definitely there for legit heat at least. I always sit up a little when Tip starts to talk Sonoran heat release. I’m guessing we fail Thursday

2010 had the most 95° days at Mineola right before the station shut down.

probably silently speaks volumes about how much they appreciated his antics back in spring training when he attempted to dictate to the organization where/what/how he plays. Just a guess. I mean yeah ... they'll positive spin the move per protocol and PR as something else, but it's really a go fuck yourself thing

If you are looking for hot beach and pool weather looks like the last 10 days of June will grant your wish. OZ EPS.

What did the 8 in the other table indicate Chris? There is something in the other table that says 8 for 1955, 4 for 2010 and 2 for 2016 and 2024-- was that number of 100+ days? If so that would mean that Hightstown had 8 days of 100+ in 1955? WOW!

1955 finished in 3rd place for 95° days there but was surpassed last summer.

Complete crap.

Wow! Thanks, I hope you’re right because I want quiet, but that would mean I bust hard with my 139 ACE and 9H/3MH forecast. I have 14 NS. Keep in mind that per RONI that ASO 2014 was warm neutral and 2013 was cold neutral vs 2025’s ASO likely active season favoring weak La Niña.

1) He's hitting 245 in low A ball 2) He's in low A ball and a few if not severla years away 3) Just what they needed...another OF. Yay: Prospects TLDR: Tibbs currently has the look of a good platoon outfielder. His projection could shift into more of an everyday role if his defense improves and/or he shows he can hit upper-level lefties.

Not having lived during the 50s, Newark matches my experience of 1993 and 2010 being my two hottest summers during the time I've been alive. It's curious EWR is so much closer to my experience than LGA is lol.

Tony what was the high on August 16, did it stay in the 90s?

meh that 102 peak and 8 straight days of 95+ from 1944 really stands out, when you compute the average highs of both how do they compare? Incidentally both 1944 and 1988 are part of the 11 year solar cycle (as were 1955, 1966, 1977, 1999, 2010).

But what if it's a 12 year cycle from the 1944-1955 period that repeated during the 1991-2002 period, do you think the circulation pattern itself could be cyclic and if so, when it happens again the extreme heat will be even hotter than it was back then?

You can argue 1988 August was hotter overall - look at the 4 89 degree consecutive highs NYC (Central Park) August 1 91 73 0.00 0.0 August 2 91 75 0.00 0.0 August 3 89 76 0.00 0.0 August 4 89 76 0.00 0.0 August 5 89 76 0.00 0.0 August 6 89 75 0.00 0.0 August 7 91 77 0.00 0.0 August 8 88 72 0.00 0.0 August 9 93 73 0.00 0.0 August 10 93 76 0.00 0.0 August 11 95 77 0.00 0.0 August 12 94 80 0.00 0.0 August 13 96 79 0.00 0.0 August 14 99 80 0.00 0.0 August 15 97 81 0.00 0.0

All the subtle changes. For one, the Pacific is already active this year. That was not the case last year. Secondly, we're entering a 2nd year without a clear ENSO state, and we're near a solar max. The last time we had those conditions were in 2013 and 2014, and both produced well below average seasons. (Quite a contrast to 2010-2012, which were 3 very active seasons.) Everything is screaming this is going to be a quiet season. Here's my forecast (using 2013 and 2014 as my main analogs): 11 named storms (range 8-14) 4 hurricanes (range 2-6) 1 major hurricane (range 0-2) 51.5 ACE (range 36-67)

Just get a dehumidifier

Incidentally where is Hightstown Chris? I had never heard of this town until you started posting this but they seem to have a treasure trove of data going back to the 1940s, including some of the best historically hot summers like 1955 which leads the pack with 8 days of 95+ on that list!
