    I'm skeptical they'll take a RHP that short 1-1.
  2. drjim
    Indeed
  3. drjim
    And the beat goes on...have to think Trump will escalate. This doesn't end well.

    When I get really brutal I take the position that there just isn't a non-violent solution to shaking out some of the boundaries in the Middle East, a legacy of the post-WWI maps and strategy of dividing ethnic groups and giving power to the minority group. I don't think the US can solve the issue, but perhaps should strive to minimize the humanitarian crisis. But there are too many actors with too much to lose in this fight.

    I concur. Mlb hitters are too good. Likely he never makes it.

    I'm usually not this cold, but if intervention doesn't come with a clear path to making the situation better, and there has not been direct attacks on the US or allies, it is best to stay out. Lobbing a couple of missles from far away is generally the answer when the US wants to "do something" but has no good options.

    I'd have him pitch too and not mess with being a SS. But it would depend on how many innings they'd want him to throw this summer.

    I have no opinion on what your wife should and should not do.

    I'll throw something out: I've been married 7 years. I don't think I've ever had dinner alone with another woman who wasn't in my family. I don't have a hard and fast "rule" but it has become my reality organically. I think a lot of what he does here is generally unwritten rules within most married couples, and if a situation arises that would be *against* the rule, there is often (if not always) a diligent check in.

    Really interesting thought from KLaw on Hunter Greene from his chat: Tevin: If you're the Twins, how do you pass on Hunter Greene? 102 at 17 y/o? Lord. They need pitching, but he gives you two potential players in one to bank on. Also, Falvey known for developing pitchers in CLE ? great match. Kid seems like he ?gets it? too. Keith Law: I think you take him, you send him out this summer as a shortstop, with the plan to pitch him in 2018. Maybe he does something either way as a hitter in the GCL to change your mind or reinforce it.

    It's one series, but Kepler is trending the right way. Might need to revise the predictions upward.
  12. drjim
    I generally agree with all of this as the likely outcome, but still early to say "he'll be fine". There is a way too high probability that he just never figures out his contact issues. But I'm still very high on him, think we see multiple 7-8 WAR seasons (but not this year).

    Two big takeaways I see: 1. Lots of people really, really wanted to see Assad bombed, no matter how meaningful it was. 2. Seems they gave Russia a heads up, so all the people and key equipment was evacuated. Question is now what? I don't see this being the end, and I don't see escalation ending well. Also found it interesting that Obama had a large series of strikes lined up, but Congress wouldn't authorize. But Congress, both parties, was happy to jump on unilateral action by the President.

    I don't see how this works as he moves up the ladder, but he has supressed hits long enough that it's probably not a fluke. Here's to being an anomaly.
  15. drjim
    Good call. Makes me think back to how revolutionary this song was when it came out.
  16. drjim
    Obama offered Garland because he had no leverage. He thought showing obstructionism would be beneficial for Dems in the elections. Turns out people didn't really care.
  17. drjim
    Sounds very France late 1780s of you. It's a big and diverse world with people who think all kinds of things. Embrace it. I do share some of your fears of advancing technology though. But I suspect that's kind of the human condition.

    If the Dems had the Senate and let a Republican President fill the seat of a liberal justice, that would have been political malpractice that even Democrats don't seem capable of.

    It's horrific. I was trying to bring a small amount of levity to a terrible situation.
  20. drjim
    It is problematic, I want to make that clear. It is unfair to professional women, it deprives Pence of talented council, and it harms the people he represents. It really does flow from a bad spot in conservative Christian culture that has caused great harm to so many women for so long, including many friends of mine. It is very dated, but no less destructive. I do think over the top dismissals will lead to retrenchment, that does no one any good.

    It's horrific. War as diversion.
  22. drjim
    So this upcoming war in Syria should be a doozy.
  23. drjim
    Absolutely, if they had any sense.
  24. drjim
    He hires women. I don't like defending Pence, don't even really agree with him on this (much less anything else), but I am bothered by these interpretations.
  25. drjim
    Exactly. You just proved Pence's motivation.
