    Are you telling me the only player blocking younger pitchers on this roster was luis avilan?

    It's crazy how the slow drip allows folks to move the goal posts. I remember when the very idea that Russia was behind the hacking of dnc and podesta emails was sour grapes of dems. Now anything short of the president himself ordering the hacking is beside the point. I also remember when it was expected that the president not bring into the executive branch people that have committed crimes, and especially concerning when they were happening while in office. And when those activities benefited the president him/herself? It would be a very big deal! Now, again, unless the president personally took funds and put them in a burlap sack to pay off to another lawyer, it is apparently very tiresome for "the electorate" to have to hear about. I get that it can be tiresome to constantly have to deal with the steady stream misdeeds of the trump administration, from very minor to very severe. But the idea that pointing out the misdeeds is something more punishable than this onslaught of daily corruption is really a tough sell to me. It's probably an extension of the idea that the only punishment can happen through elections, and any criminal actions performed by government officials should just be decided by them being voted out or voted in.

    Not gonna lie I think this move is stupid.

    I've been out of loop a bit last few weeks, so, I am half expecting someone to tell me: - Hamilton is already up - Hamilton is injured - Hamilton actually sucks now So I am excited!
  5. bmags
    Totally bizarre to me that he's up before Hamilton.

    I've said it before but a silver lining even if those created this culture of corruption do not get punished for it is the idea that more white collar crime such as tax evasion and FARA violations being enforced. I think it will end up being the same rallying cry that pork barrel spending was.

    Absolutely true, and so easy to predict. I'm sure on this forum there are plenty of posts when Trump hired Manafort about how sleezy and corrupt the guy was. The fact that apparently his lobbying and certain money laundering for abusive foreign governments is not what has him in jail is surprising to me, but people like these are always smart enough to know they should cover up their money but never smart enough to do it perfectly when the bright lights are on them.

    It's rough, I'll never get rid of my trib subscription because their metro reporters do great work, but while I would have been p'd off about this in early 00s, now I just feel sad. Paul Sullivan writes like 60% of ever paper. They are stretched so thin. The Athletic was well staffed last night, and I thought Jon Greenberg's column was perfect on it. https://theathletic.com/483971/2018/08/22/it-was-a-long-time-coming-michael-kopech-debuts-before-his-family-and-23000-or-so-new-friends/

    Why is Rosario acting like he didn't just swing at that pitch?
  10. bmags
    HELL YEAH thank god Buxton wasn't back there.
  11. bmags
    man what an absolute bummer.
  12. bmags
    brilliant, send him back down, clock never started.
  13. bmags
    That was when I thought it was starting at 830. An hour delay is really pushing it.
  14. bmags
    let's ask the people who paid money to go to the game.
  15. bmags
    You also can't put more obstacles in this game than CB Bucknor and rain. Just give me a 10 pitch inning or something.

    Thanks. I guess what I struggle with is all 3 seem like regression candidates. I believe in Howard as a Bears fan, and he is best running out of shotgun and he's going to be put in that position more. But what if things are so spread out that his usage dips way down? But you are right in that the lower picks being lost are guarded more against regression than with Hunt.

    and RNC deputy director.
  18. bmags
    I mean he's from New Jersey so he may well want to go closer to home.
  19. bmags
    I'd bat Narvaez 3rd personally.

    It's crazy that the nats never did more in the playoffs. Still, Murphy and Scherzer have to be two of the best FA deals of the 00s right?

    "We will likely try and milk every bit of revenue out of this excitement by irrationally keeping the game scheduled well past when it's clear it cannot go and getting as many concessions as we can before postponing the game for october"

    It just feels like perez is gonna be one of those dudes that hangs around and ends up as the third catcher that gets play during injuries from ages 26-28.
  23. bmags
    Man, poor Leury.
  24. bmags
    Getz has started to sound like Hahn.

    8/20 Games

    Probably, but next step is send him to the dominican winter league and see how he does. If he can handle the craftier pitchers there he's really turned a corner and may indeed be closer to the majors than we realized.
