Willing to discuss with you offline if you'd like. Really don't want to derail the thread with statistics about Christians, Republicans, democrats, and vaccines.

There's no room for discussion. If you don't side unquestionably with big pharma here, you're a giant pile of dog shit.

    Interesting how the antivax players don't have an issue trusting medical experts when their elbows blow out or they pull a hammy.

  • Given that 10 out of 26 players didn’t get vaccinated, it really doesn’t seem like the “bullying culture” you suggest had any impact.  But that works both ways. Given what I posted earlier with t

    Unless you're in the microscopic percentage of the population who is too immunocompromised to receive the vaccine, there is no "reward" for anyone not to get the shot. Anti vax talking points like thi

Thank you for putting this in terms I can finally understand. Big pharma always has my best interests at heart and I'm sorry for questioning this.

To be clear, we don't think that about EVERYONE. 

We for sure think it about you, just not everyone. That's an unfair shot, and I won't stand for it. 

Kershaw perfect game through 7 vs Angels.

Oops

Kershaw is the first pitcher since 1961 to have multiple starts of being perfect through 7 in the same season. Too bad he hasn't been able to finish one off, but it's cool to see him still dominating like this.

I just can't comprehend turning down $440 million. It just doesn't compute.

Wants to play for a winning team that likely advances to the playoffs rather than wait out a rebuild for the next 3-5 years?

Or he watched with a vested interest the Harper and Rendon FA sweepstakes?

Sounds crazy, but unless he literally loses a limb anytime soon that money range isn't going anywhere for future offers I would imagine.

"They’re better, in other words, than they have been in a long time. And this is just the beginning. After that dismal 2018 campaign, the Orioles brought in Mike Elias, one of the architects of the Houston Astros’ carefully constructed turnaround from laughingstock to champions as their new general manager. And he brought with him NASA engineer-turned-baseball analytics innovator Sig Mejdal. Say what you will about the 2017 team that took home a now-tainted trophy, but Houston’s ongoing dominance in the AL West is built on more than just sign-stealing. That kind of sustained success is every baseball team’s ultimate goal. And the Orioles have reason to believe they’re right on the precipice."

Orioles get a NASA engineer we get Dave Duncan's kid 

This probably happens a lot, we just don't have high-resolution slow-mo cameras to pick it up every time. But still pretty cool to see.

Sox gonna Sox.

Yankees have the worst record in MLB since the All-Star break.

 

Signed as a free agent when the Rangers released him in May.  Hahn asleep at the wheel yet again.

There are plenty of hitters in the Sox org who would benefit from taking a similar approach to reworking their swing that Carpenter did over the off-season. Him having this resurgence is a pretty remarkable player dev story.

The whole idea of being a push hitter just simply does not work for certain hitters. Jose Ramirez went from MVP candidate to near replacement level because he stopped trying to pull the ball in the 2nd half of 2018 and the first half of 2019. Vaughn, Eloy, and Robert are all seemingly suffering from similar problems. They look amazing when they pull the ball but more often than not end up sacrificing power for contact when they look to hit the ball the other way. Mostly fastballs too. On the other hand, Tim Anderson is at his best when he does push the ball the other way. As he ends up rolling over more often than not when he pulls the ball. 

Oof.

deGrom is back and throwing 102. 

Game #1 for the Padres after all of their additions is going well.

Silicon Valley and budget surpluses during Covid lead directly to Soto?

Colin Cowherd must have read conspiracy theories about Bulls/Sox spending conmingled by JR lol.

 

How about a far simpler one?  Great weather, no competition for sponsors since they lost both the Clippers and Chargers.  Only game in town, like Packers or Bills.
