  1. Had he simply stuck to this position, this thread would not exist. Some months later, he's not only not advocating for it, it seems he's advocating against it, which isn't at all a personal position.
  2. The sentiment is largely correct; but the government can't censor nearly any speech save for some small carve outs--typically that which causes others dangers (hate speech, fire in a theater) or time and place (you can say that, but just not hear and not right now). As you suggest, one of the true safeguards of the first amendment is to ensure citizens can criticize the government.
  3. Where's the post where you are telling Simmons to stick to sports?
  4. You didn't get it. Your comments on Rosario are equally irrelevant to the current discussion.
  5. How do you feel about the trade for Delmon Young?
  6. Whether or not it was the right move or the wrong move, we clearly don't have enough evidence to assess the question with less than a week's worth of at bats. Sample size is a thing everyone.
  7. Guys who have contributed in the past, like Cave and Dobnak (esp. whom they are committed long term) are going to get a lot of rope to hang themselves, as should be the case. A prospect like Duran or Balazovic would never be the next man up for a bullpen role; those guys need starter's innings.
  8. There's a lot of risk in not signing him to a long term deal now. If he merely stays healthy this year, his leverage will sky rocket. Sign him now; his talent is worth the risk of injury.
  9. Looks like a good trade from depth to get a young, controllable pitcher, with options and at least one plus pitch. Wes Johnson work your magic.
  10. I imagine we'll see a lot of moves like this, as the Twins, and all teams, are super cost-adverse. I'm fine with it. Through enough crap against the wall, something sticks. Though that's unfair because his 2019 was stellar, and 2020 is well what it is.
  11. So how does signing undrafted free agents work now? Is there any limitations on bonuses?
  12. If capacity to collect information is at a near all-time low, go with the safest choice. So I'm just fine with the pick. And I understand the risk-aversion from pitchers in a draft like this.
  13. It's a weird, wild ride. And certainly lends itself to internet content.
  14. Did Expanse get cancelled? For a second time (after scyfy and going to amazon). Edit: Season 5 just got finished filming. So no.
  15. Inventive. Kudos for putting the work in and throwing it out there.
  16. He didn't hit well in AA, either (148 PAs). But boy did he kill it in the AFL in nearly a 100 plate appearances. Ft. Myers, of course, is a notoriously unfriendly league to hitters. This, combined with the low sample size in the other two leagues, suggests we should look at his stat line with a great deal of suspicion.
  17. I wanted to check out Bailey's contract, and I see this on BR; what is this about the Dodger's paying 5m?
  18. The Redsox stated concern is that Graterol may end as a reliever, which was the Twins stated preference for him this year, so the Redsox already knew about that risk. Scott Boris has stated that there's no injury that was revealed in the medical records, so I'm not sure what the medical records would have illuminated that the Redsox didn't already know/suspect. The real problem was their concern about Graterol being leaked to the press.
  19. Twins may be leveraging the Redsox by going to the media and saying they've pulled out.
  20. Right. It certainly appears that Boston is using Graterol's medical review as a cover for backing out of the deal due to backlash.
