Attempted murder is the worst crime you can be charged with. It means you're not only evil, but incompetent.

Should there be different punishments depending on whether or not you kill someone? Yes. Should that difference be anywhere near as large 10 years in jail and getting to land a 7-figure job? No.

The biggest problem is that DUI charges are based on the outcome. Kill someone and you go to jail for 10 years. Don't hit anybody and just fall asleep at a stoplight and you get to be manager of a major league baseball team. The crime is the same in both cases in that someone chose to drive drunk.

The MLB lockout is lifted!
Do FOX/TBS get a refund of rights fees from MLB if the postseason doesn't happen due to a work stoppage? If so, that's the players' best leverage. Write a check to us now or to FOX/TBS in October.

RF vs 2B - Where to Invest?
If you can replace Eloy with Schwarber and get a really good SP prospect and a good reliever in return, I wouldn't hate it.
-
RF vs 2B - Where to Invest?
Yeah, signing Schwarber only makes sense if you are trading Eloy and/or Vaughn for a huge return in the pitching/infield area

RF vs 2B - Where to Invest?
I wouldn't prioritize one position over the other. I prioritize getting a LH or SH bat that has a high OBP, above average power, and can play his position well.

So if you just start service time and calculate free agency from signing date, doesn't that incentivize signing older players so you'll have control for more of their peak? Seems like we need a formula that uses signing date as a base but weighs signing age in some way.

But 8-9 could get you in as the 7th seed. Are you really going to give up on the chance to get blown out by one of the Bays in the Wild Card round? I seriously think that's why they're not selling.

NFTs
I understand the basic concept, but what I don't understand is this: If everybody is creating and selling NFTs, won't most of the devalue?

World Series - Braves v. Trashtros
Two good outcomes if the Braves win 1 it might bring increased scrutiny on the mascot and the chop 2 the cheaters lose

Padres interview Ozzie for MGR job
Oh, please Oakland hire Ozzie. That would be entertaining beyond belief.

That's OK. If we're going to break the record for most pages about a free agent we didn't get, we probably need to start now.

How does the guy who finishes 3rd in fWAR among 3B in all of MLB not get nominated for SS or GG?

With all the QB's sucking/getting hurt around the league, how is Nick Foles still on the Bears' payroll?

Offseason Thread
So it kind of evens out. They have to spend more because of Tony's strategic blunders, but they're willing to spend more because that's what Tony wants.

The MLB lockout is lifted!
Yeah, but in 2020 all the offseason stuff (Rule 5 draft, free agency, arbitration) had already happened. Would that not require a longer timeframe to get all that in?
-
The MLB lockout is lifted!
Technically its a work stoppage if there's no deal on December 2, but how late can they make a deal and start the season on time? Nobody really cares about work stoppages in December.

Quick--somebody petition the league to change the quarantine period from 7 days to 7 months.

Offseason Thread
We saw firsthand how excellent infield defense can impact a series. I think people are looking for a way to shove the best 9 hitters they can get into the lineup and ignore the impacts on the defense. Moncada needs to stay at 3rd.
