    Agreed. A reality check was in order after the last homestand.

    Gordon doing good work. Buxton, tried.

    What about in one? ?
  7. wsnydes
    He got a later start than most. Just needed ABs.

    When you don't have it, you don't have it. Saving the bullpen and keeping the team in the game is an accomplishment of its own.

    So they're supplying the enemy? I'm not sure that I can stand for that!

    Correa signing starting to pay dividends at the plate.

    Is rage quitting an option?
  12. wsnydes
    I think you posted these out of order. And I always pegged you for a swimming "costume" guy anyway.

    This is the exact reason I didn't allow myself to get overly excited after the last homestand. The AL is not good...

    Pretty sure my FIL has a pair of those sandals and I know they have the towel.

    Perhaps, but I have to imagine the Patriots and Tom Brady not only had a better case but more connections on a far less serious issue.

    Fair point, but I can enjoy a beer now and then. And I'm definitely in a mood to enjoy some jazz!
  17. wsnydes
    Jazz night sounds perfect for my mood. Give me a cocktail and let me mellow out to some smooth sounds!

    We can't have nice things, can we?

    Courts tend to avoid collectively bargained issues like this. See Tom Brady and Deflategate. The punishment handed down to Brady by the NFL was upheld because the situation in which he was punished was collectively bargained. Obviously much different situation, but still enforceable by the CBA, which both the owners and players agreed to.

    It's still against the law to physically abuse another person. They don't have to die to be prosecuted. The prosecutor felt that they couldn't meet the burden of proof to convict him of criminal charges. As @chpettit19points out, a case of "he said, she said" is difficult to prove. MLB has no such burden, only that he violated the terms of the CBA.
  21. wsnydes
    Just like civil cases versus criminal cases, much different standards for burden of proof. MLB concluded that he violated the terms of the CBA, which is all that really matters in this particular scenario.
  22. wsnydes
    MLB isn't messing around with domestic violence. Just because charges weren't handed down, they're still sending a message, right or wrong.
  23. wsnydes
    MLB certainly seemed to take their time with this to be thorough. The punishment certainly sends a message.
  24. wsnydes
    Pete Rose?
  25. wsnydes
    I'd love to see how much, if at all, his thoughts change after 15 to 20 starts. Or even if they change the allotted time on the clock. This is going to be harder for some than others.
