  1. No way, as far as I'm concerned, if you have a platform it's incumbent upon you to use it for good. Whether that's sports, entertainers, politicians, corporate leaders, social media stars, etc. Making the world a better is ALL of our jobs and we need to leverage what power we have, large or small, in that effort. Plus, politics is directly infused into all aspects of our lives - as long as there is a government running our society, politics exist in every facet. I hope the Hangout stays, but sometimes the venn diagram of baseball and politics overlaps and these become baseball issues. This can be a "no politics" website, but that also is going to limit the depth and legitimacy of any conversation. It is what it is, draw the line somewhere, and then enforce accordingly. People can take it or leave it. But making a thread like this serves no purpose other than to stroke ego and beg for everyone to say "please don't go."
  2. The white fragility and victimhood here is astounding. If OH goes down, so be it. If OH stays up, then even better. But trying to play the victim of social efforts to improve our society is the ultimate "snowflake" move. This entire thread is an exercise of performative woe-is-me nonsense, especially the "my son is a cop" schtick. Policing is the mechanism by which the state is able to maintain and enforce the systemic racism that is in place. Any cop that can't look in the mirror and ask themselves what they can be doing to be better at their job for everyone doesn't have the integrity to wear the badge. Serving the community is looking outside of yourself and listening to others instead of assuming you're always in the right and know better. Meanwhile, we have federal law enforcement agents invading cities as a direct result of political motivations. It doesn't get more tone-deaf than trying to play cops as the victim with this occurring as the backdrop. Sports have always been a vehicle for political action and discussion. If that's incompatible with someone's fandom, then maybe they sports isn't for them.
  3. Went to my high school. Aspirando et Perseverando. Majors in 3 years or less, guaranteed!
  4. Went to my high school. Same one as George Springer and Hudson Haskins, so you know he’s going to be good.
  5. time to cut adley. our 31st pick is better than him.
  6. See ya, Drew. No knowledge other than looking at stats, but both in the DSL and Prado is definitely hitting there.
  7. I don't like Encarnacion at all. He's still very young, but 100K's and 13BBs is exactly the last type of ratio we need.
  8. Chris Leake! But for real, TNSTAAPP. Look at our Cavalry. Where are they now? Our worst bullpen option, our closer, one was so bad we traded him to the Cubs, and one finally turned the corner in our rotation just last season. So out of four high-end prospects, only one has done enough to warrant starting for us, and he took a while to get there. Between ERod, Bundy, Gausman, and Harvey, ERod is the guy on the outside looking in for me. He doesn't have the pedigree the others have, and really only has a half season at double AA with serious success. With out history, we are better off using pitching prospects as currency, just like with this deal.
