Someone refresh my memory please on how many spots we have open on our 40 Man?  I thought we had one, but with signing Lyles and Chirinos, aren't we going to have to designate someone, or is there someone injured we can put on the 60 day IL?

Would assume we would sign one or two more Free agents to major league deals, someone has to go (not that there isn't some folks I don't think we would miss).

I believe it’s 39.. Lyles is included. So the other guy makes 40

What is the basis of this accusation? I'm genuinely curious.

He liked a tweeted calling for the n word to be shot dead. It’s so awful I am not going to post it but I think that should give you an indication. You can find it on Reddit and Twitter I believe. Many I know were shocked he wasn’t immediately released.

I take racism much more seriously than you clearly.

Hmmm, maybe.   I’ve successfully represented the NAACP in a race discrimination class action case, and I do about 100 hours of volunteer work a year for a foundation that sponsors racial justice fellowships for law students.  But, if you think a player should be taken off the 40-man roster because he liked a racist tweet several years ago and then took it down, then you probably do feel more strongly than I do.  I don’t like the fact that he did that, but I don’t think it’s a reason to keep him off the roster.    (PS - just saw your subsequent post.   I’ve never seen the actual post Akin “liked” but it sounds pretty bad.)

I saw 2 "examples," one which seemed to just be celebrating old The Dukes Of Hazzard TV show (which happened to include a picture of their car with the Confederate flag on it) and another which is admittedly pretty distasteful but which is also 6 years old. I'm not sure I would unperson someone over a liked tweet from over half a decade ago but I also think it would be perfectly fair for one of our local sports reporters to ask him or the organization to comment on the matter, which does not seem to have happened from my cursory research.

This seems fair, keep in mind 6 years ago he was 20...so not a kid.

Akin liked a tweet celebrating the Dukes of Hazard TV show.  There's nothing wrong with that.  At all.

He also like a tweet calling for a cop killer to be shot.  The cop killer was referred to using a racial slur.

The racial slur is ugly and unnecessary and highly offensive.  And someone should have a talk with Akin about representing himself professionally on social media.

However, if the naughty word upsets you more than the dead cop, you are a child and not a serious person.

Well clearly you are better than all of us then, case closed.

I can message you the tweet in question. It’s bad. Even Trumpers I know thought it was disgusting. If you want to see it, I’ll message it, not post it. It’s much worse than what is being discussed here.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      Different era obviously, but Rochester AAA manager Earl Weaver replaced O's skipper Hank Bauer in '68, just a year and a half after Bauer won the World Series.

      A good manager would have instructed him to bunt Well not for nothing, but I would like 100 dollars for every time a Good Manager did not bunt with first and second with nobody out. Now if the SF pitcher was LH, I would be onboard. If they were down by 1, maybe. Why would you not let Mullins hit there?

      Putting aside the issue of “not counting” stats that don’t fit the argument, I’m curious who he would have had hit there. What were the other options? Eloy Jimenez (1 for his last 23) Coby Mayo (3 for 37 with 21 Ks as a pro) Jackson Holliday (0 for last 22 vs LHPs  with 12 Ks) Livan Soto (~.600 career AAA OPS vs LHPs)   Not saying Slater was some slam dunk pick, but I honestly don’t really even understand how folks can criticize Hyde for those types of decisions anymore. Every lever he has available to pull is clearly marked *WRONG* in flashing red lights.

      Really tired of the losing, but even more tired of the team not playing the game the right way. Giants losing by a run get men on 1st and 2nd no outs, and their next guy lays down a nice bunt. Kremer slips fielding the roller and next thing you know they got bases loaded no outs, and a couple minutes later three runs have crossed the plate. We have the same situation in the 7th inning and our best bunt guy up to bat, and what does Hyde do? He has Mullins (0-3 at that point w/o hitting the ball out of the infield) swing away. WTF. Mullins strikes out, and our runners are eventually stranded.    At the very least Mullins should shown bunt. He didn’t. A good manager would have instructed him to bunt. Hyde didn’t. His team lost the game, and more importantly his team deserved to lose. That’s what really pisses me off.

      Rivera and Soto should be playing over Holliday and Mayo until Westburg and Urias return. It's what Buck would have done in 2014.
