QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 07:27 AM) So the narrative is people who havent trained would be better suited to doing what professionals couldnt do? Makes total sense And to keep trusting the people who are telling you to trust them to keep you safe apparently.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 25, 2018 -> 02:55 PM) Their training was most likely lacking. I believe the town was called one of the safest in th country so their law enforcement is probably like Andy Taylor in Mayberry. And the odds of your school being attacked are pretty small, so the SRO more than likely was not nearly as on guard as he would have needed to be , which is human nature. If he was on guard all the time at a miminal threat place, most probably wouldn't want him around their kids. If it so easy to arm and train teachers properly, why don't we use the funds and train the people paid to protect not just students, but all of us properly? And do them a favor and cut back on guns, and make it more difficult to get one? Trump was all over increasing the age to purchase, but quickly changed the subject when he found out the NRA was not on board. I wonder what happened to his deal where he couldn't be influenced by special interest money. I don't know if there are stats on this, but I feel like this is exactly where these types of incidents happen most often. I don't recall this really happening in poorer and more urban school systems. It is typically in richer/whiter communities.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Feb 25, 2018 -> 05:52 PM) And Ynoa gives up another run today. Why he is even on the team let alone getting spring innings is beyond me (when there are actual kids who may contribute in the future who can actually use the work.) And the winner for most premature meltdown based on a spring training performance is...

QUOTE (Nokona @ Feb 25, 2018 -> 02:23 PM) If you're having trouble on Chrome, press the icon next to https: in the address bar; it looks like an i with a circle around it. From there you'll see Flash, change it to "Always allow on this website." The webcast will then work. That's what I was saying the other day. Because of security flaws in Flash, most browsers keep it disabled by default. You have to in and enable it, where as previously the default was for it to be on.

Tough to say "better" as they are both going to be different players. I think Jimenez is going to be more of tradition power hitter, while Yoan is going to be more of a 5 tool kind of guys who brings speed and stretching the bases to the game, and probably won't have nearly the same power as Eloy.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 09:42 AM) Thanks for sharing. At least it tells me they don't want to just hand the DH role to Davidson. It also tells me that there might be some smoke to the CarGo and Moose connections.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 08:23 AM) Where did you see this? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/02/twin..._medium=twitter

Also notable here is that the Sox apparently did have some negotiations with Morrison.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Feb 25, 2018 -> 09:06 PM) WRONG. The fans who die before the success will have regrets on their deathbeds. All of the 10 year olds out there who have a lifetime of suffering through no world series titles...

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 25, 2018 -> 06:20 AM) It makes it even harder to run with the narrative of trusting unqualified people with a gun as the means of stopping something like this. Actually it makes it much easier, as those who are qualified and trusted are failing.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Feb 24, 2018 -> 11:42 PM) Instead of arming teachers, why not let the retired vets do the job? I bet they'd be way more than happy to each take a day per week protecting their community schools. Then we honor them and s*** and it's all good. If it involves more funding or volunteers, forget it. Schools have been begging for both for decades, and have gotten not enough of either.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Feb 25, 2018 -> 12:55 PM) Kevin Powell @kpowell720 1m Hahn says there is no risk of further damage to the elbow. So the hope is he can get reps at the plate while rehabbing injury. James Fegan @JRFegan 1m Yes, this decision is the result of the second opinion. Hahn said the sprain in Adolfo’s UCL has been described as a “pinhole tear,” but that it’s a “very robust ligament” Very happy to see he will be able to hit, as that is the part of his game that needs the most reps.

Good luck Shack. It has to feel like the weight of the world to get a diagnosis like that at such a young age.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 09:48 PM) The FBI seriously f***ed up here. Transcript of the call alerting them to Cruz. https://t.co/B82y7d4sJE The police and the FBI missed all kinds of calls on this guy. Then the police stood outside while it happened. It makes it a whole lot tougher to sell the narrative that we should leave it up to the properly trained authorities when they aren't really effective themselves.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 07:42 PM) If the White Sox are not willing to be in the game for the top dogs next year then there was no reason for this rebuild. It is the biggest flaw in the rebuild.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 05:19 PM) I guess that's good news right? It means no surgery, at least not yet.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 04:19 PM) Lol, so you're going to stick with the argument that the years don't matter at all, and that 60 million dollars isn't meaningfully more than 43 million dollars? And that absorbing Kemp to get a prospect is the same deterrent to Machado as signing Moustakas to be our third basemen? But absorbing a much shorter and less expensive deal in Gonzalez is a deterrent.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 04:02 PM) But with the 25-man technically not being set, wouldn't he technically go to the MLB DL? I don't believe you go on the major league DL until you are on the major league 25 man roster.

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 03:48 PM) Not even given as an option. Usually something will pop up about that plugin, I can't find it on there. That is my guess. You might have to get in and explore you settings to enable, they are in different places in different browsers. All I know is that there was a mass problem a while back and most browsers turned Flash into a setting that you have to go out of your way to enable instead of it being something that was automatically turned on.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 03:45 PM) No legs, but saw an interesting post on Twitter. If the bulls get a Top 5 pick, and let's say the NO pick is like 14, do you trade both for Kwahi? Would the Spurs do it? The Bulls? I would not build a trade around a guy from San Antonio unless Pop was a part of the deal.

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 03:44 PM) I tried downloading firefox so I could watch the game.....same behavior as on Chrome/Edge. Nothing but a black screen. Did you enable/disable adobe flash?

QUOTE (Wanne @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 03:34 PM) i'm running firefox and have adblocker on...so not sure what to tell ya man. I have firefox and am having zero issues other than a filthy camera, and horrible camera work.
