I take back all of the defending of Bowman over the last few seasons. You guys were right, I was wrong. That fucker gave out the Seabrook contract TWICE!!!!!!!!! Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...... Not only did he give a kings ransom for Jones.......he gave a kings ransom for someone not even close to worthy of that type of package. Bowman just killed the Hawks for the entirety of the 2020s.

As much as I hate to say it, that type of behavior was pretty common in my youth. When I was in HS some kid on the wrestling team got violated with an object by other members of the team and the same things happened to him. Obviously it's wrong but there were very few innocent people when it came to that.

I'm here to tell you that I'm in my mid 30s and most of the cultural shift happened over the last decade. As recently as the early 2000s the major networks were perfectly fine with using "gay" for something stupid/dumb on the Simpsons. It's Fox, so maybe I should put that note in there but it happened. "That's gay" for something stupid or dumb was pretty common ~15 years ago. People used to throw that around like people still threw the N word around in the 60s and 70s.

Tell me you never used homophobic language against another man as a teen/college age guy and I'll call you a liar. I did it, everyone I know did it, I've been harrassed for "sounding gay" since I was in middle school and even though it's hurtful it is normal young male behavior in our culture. Should it stop, yes. Am I embarrassed and ashamed that I did some of those things, of course. Those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Ever been dry humped by another dude without consent? It's happened to me multiple times. If this type of stuff never happened to you or you did it to someone else as a teen/young adult you're either lying or in denial. If you're indicting the Hawks players for this then you're indicting the overwhelming majority of males over 25. It's a widespread cultural issue. This is something that education should fix. I learned about how hurtful that speech was and I stopped. Understand that I in no way condone that behavior but I also have the common sense to realize that said behavior is relatively common among males age 16-24.

The only way this makes sense is if the only thing Minny is looking for is salary relief. This way they get an extra bat for free. Try Vaughn in RF.

Lmao

This post is the epitome of what's wrong with society.

Not sure if serious or sarcasm.

Dude could still make a decent living in Japan's DH league if he wanted. Hopefully he comes to his senses and decides to go there. I don't think MLB is happening for him at this point though.

Keuchel says hi when it comes to inconsistency

Bummer had a year where he was lit up like a cheap xmas tree as well.

Cease is 26 dude. That's not young.

He also has no idea where anything is going

If someone believes in him, by all means cash in. He's blocked anyway.

Burger looks like a DH only.

Looks like that is what's about to happen, as we've seen with Kopech/Engel and their hamstring injuries, he could be out a month.

Listen, we all realize that Moncada is really damn good. The issue is that everyone expected Tatis and they didn't get it. Which leads to more lamenting about the idiot that traded Tatis.

That's not what I said. I said if the power didn't come back it would be tough to pick up his 2025 option at $25M.

@ron883 fuck off, and I say that in the friendliest way possible. MVPito!

I've always thought Moncada is really damn good. My criticism is because I expect a lot from him, fairly or unfairly.

The park was absolutely electric when Pito homered

Lolz

Oy.
