    Rosanne gets cancelled. Surprised that ABC/Disney reacted so quickly to her tweets this morning.

    Weird. Unlike this regime to give up draft capital for cash capital. Maybe they intend on being big spenders this coming off-season? Or they really, really like Villalobos.

    I really appreciate the full Top 20 prospect list updates. It helps fill in the injuries, etc. that I may have missed.
  5. PseudoSABR
    I just can't...

    I agree. But that said, Paker Posey does play a pretty unlikable character. I still think of her hazing days from Daze and Confused.

    Deserved BABIP? Some stats are jumping the shark. I'd like to see how this metric is calculated...

    Need to practice hitting homeruns around the leftfield foul pole. Come on. Basic.

    I'm not really sure how upset the Twins are, given that Dozier said he felt he didn't need to say something to Sisco even though he was on secondbase and given the chance to talk smack. I imagine the Twins players are just responding to a line of questioning (reporters looking for a story...), rather than voicing their own feelings about the unwritten rules of baseball. I think it's a non-story.

    I've actually started watching Longmire, which I've enjoyed quite a bit.

    After the initial seasons of Jessica Jones and Daredevil, the whole endeavor felt rushed; the writing, characterization just wasn't there. I couldn't make it very far into Daredevil season 2, and haven't tried the others, though I've been considering giving JJ S2 a chance.

    Rosario walked, so...

    Not about this game. But the Astro's are getting shifty:

    Not sliced bacon sounds inedible.

    The Orioles welcome walkway looks like a slip'n'side

    Is this real? Perhaps it's the Dozier effect...

    TD's Parker with some rationale about why LaMarre may have had better results this spring, and hopefully in the future. https://twitter.com/ParkerHageman/status/978792578215706626 I'm glad to see production, and not just pedigree, is rewarded with a roster spot. His exposure will be limited, and he may only last a short while, but he did earn his spot.

    But often there is no other evidence, and in many cases the victim's testimony carries the day. But without corroborating evidence, the case can be hard to prove, which is why many sexual-assaults go unprosecuted.
  20. PseudoSABR
    The jury would still have to believe them (obviously, they aren't required to accept the testimony as true) but no additional evidence is necessary for a conviction. Many, many child-sexual-assault convictions are based on nothing more than testimony from the victim.
  21. PseudoSABR
    Again her testimony would be sufficient evidence in any court of law. I stand by that they could not find any corroborating evidence. I imagine in the other case, MLB was able to talk to witnesses. While there are great many protections for defendants, again the evidentiary and sufficiency standards are often much lower than you would anticipate. Private organizations make their own rules regarding what kind of evidence is sufficient; while they may not need prove beyond a reasonable doubt (probably just by preponderance, more likely than not), they per rule require direct or corroborating evidence (I'm speculating, but I think, generally, it's a sound policy, except it doesn't work well for sexual assault). Reasonable suspicion is the standard for the police to be able pull your car over or search you for their own safety. It doesn't apply to standards of proof or sufficiency of evidence.
  22. PseudoSABR
    That creates a false equivalency. False accusations and sexual assault do not occur at the same rates. Accusation can eventually become testimony, which is enough to sustain a conviction.
  23. PseudoSABR
    I'd just like to add: that in a court of law (this may vary from state to state), there need not be any corroborating evidence, nor any direct evidence. Testimony is enough, of course, it must be enough to overcome the jury's reasonable doubts. But often testimony is the only evidence. The MLB may require a higher sufficiency standard than a court of a law because they aren't using a jury/due-process to make decisions. So even if MLB believed her version, without corroboration or direct evidence, I imagine their hands were tied.
  24. PseudoSABR
    So is it to you that we bring complaints about the spacing after sentences? I jest; congrats, and good luck!
  25. PseudoSABR
    It's Eddie G. who's doing the mentioning, and basing the comparison on attitude not ability (or likelihood of success), Eddie even tries to qualify it. That doesn't seem preposterous, it seems genuine, from someone who has worked with them both.
