Not even reading this article because "emotion" being showed in baseball is at an all-time high right now. Seems like another "old man yells at cloud" type of title

I'm obviously not trying to be a d*&% I think sarcasm is lost on the board and maybe sarcasm isn't good to use on a board and regarding mental health. When it comes to health everybody knows someone affected and are highly sensitized to the topic. I know many people affected by a ton of different diseases and disorders I just think that ADD is about as far down the list as one can get in terms of something that is life altering. As always there are extreme cases of anything, but I think that this whole thing is a non story. Apologize to those I offended.

This is just an unbelievably ignorant post. I don’t know at all if this Moncada stuff is legit, but if you haven’t had serious mental health issues or known someone who has, you shouldn’t just pretend it doesn’t exist just because it doesn’t affect you.

Am I taking crazy pills? We're talking about ADD right? I never knew we took mental health so seriously, let alone ADD. I'll make sure to add Moncada into my prayers. I'm not sure how he'll handle his ADD now that its public knowledge that he struggles to concentrate like 98% of America. Just now I was working, but then I checked the sox board cuase I got distracted...

Well, she isn't running in rural Iowa. So what does it matter? Are you honestly mad that she tweeted about playing a video game? This can't be real.

I have to imagine SOMEONE would offer significantly more to the Yankees than this steaming pile.

This franchise literally has in its history a year where the actual slogan was "The Kids Can Play". It's a shame these analytics based teams don't share their secret of time travel. Or at least kill Hitler, rather than going back in time to create baseball marketing slogans.

"If I assert that players getting hurt is because of analytics and pretend that teams never rebuilt, then I can blame everything I dislike about baseball on analytics. It's clearly obvious that replay and umpires calling the strike zone poorly is because of analytics. I am not a crackpot."

If the D-Backs were willing to eat that much of his salary to get a decent return...there's teams that need starting pitching and are competitive right now who are better fits. Hell one of them is playing tonight and had Greinke before.

No I think DA is right to hold Levine to the standards of any of us on the message board. That's what Levine has become.

The difference between people on a message board and a guy that is employed to be an insider and expert shouldn't be that difficult to see.

Stay winning Eminor.

Moncada has never been diagnosed with ADD. Some scout insinuated he could have it and Levine reported that. Now, with telephone media being played, people are acting like he does. That's another problem on Levine's part. When you throw shit at the will it often turns into something else. This isn't a leak. This is a scout gossiping his speculation based on nothing to a silly reporter. ADHD isn't even recognized as a condition anymore IIRC. It's just ADD now. Not that that that changes anything in this conversation. Levine referred to it attention deficit syndrome. That was never a thing to begin with.

I just puked.

Fair enough.

It’s pretty BS to “out” someone’s mental health issues without that person’s consent, especially when it’s just hearsay, and ESPECIALLY when it could potentially affect the person’s employment opportunities in the future. It probably isn’t, ultimately, a big deal. But it COULD be.

Did a factory order of a Jeep Cherokee and it's on its way less than 2 weeks after ordering. Thought it would take much longer as they estimated up to 8 weeks depending on production cycle.

Rocco Baldelli! That guy was on everyone of my terrible fantasy baseball teams in high school.

They have basically said they are getting rid of him, and he has one year of control coming off a bad season. He won't cost much. If he does, then pass.Do the Sox have any more Fernando Tatis offspring they can unload?

It seems that independents/moderates have platforms that are a mixture of surprisingly liberal along with surprisingly conservative views. They are catered to by the democrats with candidates that offer policies that don't particularly fix anything but make you feel like they are supposed to. "Like you, I think it's terrible that college tuition is skyrocketing year after year. To fix that, I propose a federal savings vehicle that will let families save up to $200, tax free, in order to help mitigate that costs. I believe EVERYONE deserves a chance to go to college." But realistically if you want to get pegged as a moderate you need to just be publicly idiosyncratic about one thing across policy lines. Justin Amash is very conservative, but extends that through positions that put him at odds with his party on foreign policy and it lends him tremendous credibility. All that centrist dems offer is "Hey, don't worry, I won't do that much, so please don't blame me if the party does something you don't like".

so what is your candidate's position to help him? she pushing for M4A so he gets adequate health care? a jobs guarantee so he doesn't have to live in destitution? what platform is going to win this guy over? I'm confident that the solutions that the Bernies and the AOCs push for would help this guy. Help him a lot more than the centrist positions, anyway. I also recognize that's not the same thing as "what will get him to vote for you"

I mentioned this on another thread. Though his ERA of 4.90 is not good, the breakdown between home and road is very interesting. At Yankee Stadium, with its Little League dimensions in right field, Gray's ERA was a whopping 6.98, with 11 HR's allowed in 59 innings. On the road he was a different pitcher. His ERA was 3.17 with only 3 dingers in 71 innings. Maybe the pressure of New York and/or those short dimensions got in his head.

Progressive candidates could never win in the Midwest because one of them from NYC plays video games. I have a BS in poly sci never question me.

I get why she did it, but this is why she should have just ignored it. No matter what she came back with it would never be enough for pizzagate people.

She claimed, based on family history and tradition, to have AmerIndian background. She has that background. She's faced years of racist attacks from conservatives over it, and I'm sure Trump will continue to use his favorite slur to refer to her, but she has that background. She didn't "misuse" anything. She didn't claim this status to get into law school or to get hired by Harvard. She didn't campaign on this (it was brought up by her opponent and his staff). What's sad is how conservatives will just keep shifting goalposts. Now it's "oh she doesn't have enough AmeriIndian blood!" as proof of...something. e: these ancestry tests are only so accurate, so the actual reported range is 6-10 generations. Of course you went with the extreme end of the range for some reason. Warren's own claim is that her 5th generation grandmother was at least partially AmerIndian based on family history. She is as correct as these sorts of DNA tests could ever allow her to be. She isn't claiming tribal membership. She had a family legacy she talked about at various times decades ago. That legacy was a family tradition which was plausible but, who knows, maybe it would turn out wasn't accurate. But...it did. Her family tradition was correct.

This is just the norm with the GOP now, so we'll see zero rebukes from leadership or threats to not seat him in the next Congress if he were to win at the same time everyone is clutching their pearls about some random Dem using some strong language somewhere.

Bumslayers under Lovie? The coach they went to a Super Bowl with and another NFC title game with Jay Cutler under center. Thought dude was going on hiatus after the season.

No, you b**** just to b****. Your prime reason for complaining and saying that Mitch sucks the bears suck everyone sucks is because of teams from when you started to watch until now. You are monotonous and tiresome and this thread is better when you aren't trying to tell everyone your thoughts for the 500th time without changing anything.

Yes. His point was that 3B is reactionary, but 2B you have to worry about being a cut-off man, covering 1B, covering 2B on a steal, etc. So he theorizes that 3B requires less thinking. I wan Moncada at 3B anyway, so if that's the excuse, then fine by me.

Kevan Smith is replacement level junk, no one wants him. I have trouble lining up the Yankees and Sox for a Gray trade, but he'd be someone i'd like as a bounce-back guy. Also pretty interested in Dylan Bundy, who probably will not continue to yield 2+ hr/9.

It is a conundrum. The analytics do show teams a more effective way to win. However, itdoes make for a more boring game. It really brings out the fans of winning vs. fans of the game.

Is there some weird correlation between having ADD and playing 3B? Very confused
