    Sounds like you are admitting that quoting a politician is worse than quoting a newspaper. I agree.

    There's such a thing as systemic racism--that is a series of built-in, institutional methods that disenfranchise people of color. The easy way to see evidence of this is to acknowledge that poverty disproportionately affects people of color. As a result they have less education, less wealth, less means. Any added layer of bureaucracy with which this population needs to navigate acts as hurdles. The disenfranchised are already disincentivized from availing themselves of their rights; they are demoralized again and again over a lifetime of not being recognized--they often don't seek help in navigate such bureaucracy because they rightly have learned they will not receive it. If you actually want those voice heard you have to give them the means to be heard; and if you don't give them the means (or the case of the law, make those means less effective), you are obviously silencing those voices. And we have a word for that.

    In the interest of decorum. Please provide sources before calling others liars.

    Were "fake news" and/or "cancel culture" tag lines unavailable for this post?

    Source?

    The radar gun has to be hot, right? I didn't think Rodgers threw 98 nor Robles 97...

    You take it as the high leverage situations come, and don't hold your best relievers back for fear of higher leverage situation that may or may not happen later.
  8. PseudoSABR
    I like Rogers here, and Duffey before. Use your best arms when the leverage is the highest.

    Good at bat by Kepler. Bomba squad or piranhas?

    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.
  11. PseudoSABR
    Boof?

    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.

    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.
  14. PseudoSABR
    There you go KEPLER

    Jwescott would post in one of sub forums here, I think about the Twolves? Maybe it was Vikings, and then he disappeared again. I don't think Kobs ever made it here.

    Seeing that thread made me wonder what happened to people. What ever happened to lambo? Is Vervehoud around, maybe snepp?

    Twinkies doesn't bother me; I consider it good-natured ribbing (even if it's not always). After all it's one of the few pejoratives not based in something awful...

    One of America's best writers explains why he uses the word "Indian" (I used to teach this back when I was university composition teacher). http://mrsfrontier.weebly.com/uploads/5/7/3/6/57367529/unauthorized_bio_sherman_alexie_2016.pdf

    Celtic culture is ancient. Again, not applicable. I'm little disappointed that's your response to my poast, truth be told.
  20. PseudoSABR
    Thanks for acknowledging the possibility that you may be part of the problem and willing to listen. The problem is this: naming a mascot after a now-living ethnic group--we don't do this to any group except First Nations people. Troy is long gone. So are the Vikings. The Pirates are not an ethnic group. Cavalier is type of mounted soldier, again not an ethnic group. The tribes that many many of these names derive from still exist, and their people are largely marginalized and are non-represented in major sports and universities. Their names, even in a positive light, shouldn't be white American's play things.

    A hundred percent honest? None of us, really? Which is it? I knew the R-word was bad word since growing up in Farmington NM 30 years ago when it would be used among the construction workers my dad worked with. I saw him cringe; I saw the way he looked at me that said don't say that word. Maybe you didn't know, but ain't that white privilege for you. Offense isn't really the issue, Doc. It's that we name sports teams after an ethnic group. It doesn't matter if it's positive or negative. What other current ethnic group do we deem mascot worthy? You're literally talking about First Nation people as if they no longer exist. Imagine growing up Sioux and seeing the only representation of you as Fighting (not as doctor or lawyer, but infantry) and none of you on the damn team? It's just that bad.
  22. PseudoSABR
    Or slightly altered it along the way.
  23. PseudoSABR
    So how does signing undrafted free agents work now? Is there any limitations on bonuses?
  24. PseudoSABR
    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.
