  1. Since Giles is an elite RP who has been better than Osuna since that trade, that’s not a very fair comparison.
  2. I don’t know what’s going on with him. The stuff looks intact but his command seems to have degraded.
  3. Just shut him down and save him for 2021 lol. What this season is doing to the careers of quite a few pitchers should be the second biggest story of this season besides the COVID shenanigans.
  4. It's been a like a week, and outside of Taylor, none of the other rookies who will remain in the pen (Framber and Javier will both be at least tandem starters in the near future) have been "lights out." If there have been any pleasent surprises this season on the pitching side, it's that the idea of an LMJ/Greinke/Urquidy/Javier/Valdez rotation is a more appetizing option today than it would have been entering the season.
  5. I think MLB is illustrating how difficult it's going to be for college football to complete even a shortened season this fall unless there is a magical, substantial decline in community spread of the virus in the next month or two, or unless we magically get accurate instant tests. Given community spread and a several day delay in receiving results from an accurate test, once a few players get it on a team the virus is going to spread like wildfire throughout the team and it's going to spread to players/staff of other teams during games.
  6. It's a joke season bereft of a real spring training - I don't know what you were expecting. The product MLB is putting on the field is similar to spring training but with a bunch of pitchers blowing out their arms. At this point I'm only really interested in seeing the young players (particularly the pitchers) develop. This is not real baseball and the career altering injuries a number of pitchers are suffering because of the abbreviated ramp-up should single-handedly cost Manfred his job.

    This is just sad. The virus is simply too out of control for this type of league to work. We’re a glorified third world country at this point compared to Europe and East Asia. Embarrassing.
  8. Lmao he worked for Kroll?? CIA isn’t even trying anymore.
  9. If only there was an apartheid South Africa for Trump to support so that he could get back into these guys' good graces. Maybe he should have Israel invade Lebanon or something.
  10. If Trump put Kanye up to this then he should have done it earlier and with enough funding/organization so that Kanye could actually get on the ballot in most states. This is just Kanye being Kanye - an attention seeking clown.
  11. Some may disagree, but this movie is better than Naked, imo.
  12. We expect the Republicans to be awful, and there’s nothing remarkable when they do things that will end up resulting in the deaths of more Americans. I thought we expected more from the Democrats, though. Aren’t they the good team? If you want to admit that they are no better than the other side, then I will be willing to remark on Republicans doing Republican things.
  13. I promise you, we will never, ever, clean up the mess we made. Not in another year, not in another hundred years. If that is your criterion for leaving then we might as well annex the entire country.
  14. I wonder how many twitter followers Jaden has gained and how many doors have been opened in conservative media just due to one insipid joke. It’s hard to blame someone when it’s all there for the taking.
  15. That is laughable. The identity politics used by the right to dissolve class solidarity cannot be combated by an inverse identity politics practiced by the other side. All people like Abrams can possibly hope to achieve with their project is to diversify the winners and losers, which will do nothing to address the totality of suffering of the poor. It will lend some legitimacy to that suffering though as it it's much easier to blame downscale whites for their predicament than it is to blame blacks, which is probably why the Democratic party has moved and is continuing to move in this direction.
  16. lol didn't want to jeopardize that A rating from the Georgia Chamber of Commerce. She's a grifter, which is why she's been groveling so obscenely for the VP spot and why she defended Bloomberg's campaign. Her politics is a politics of what will serve to advance her career and nothing more. It has to be embarrassing to others in her profession how transparent she is about it.
  17. Try Google. She has said, in the context of rejecting a statewide $15 minimum wage, that she has no interest in doing class warfare because she wants to be wealthy. She’s openly acknowledged that she doesn’t want to upset the paymasters.
  18. I couldn’t care less about her or any other politician’s academic credentials. They are meaningless to how she would govern if Biden were to croak. If anything it just reinforces the fact that she’s a worthless striver looking to use her political career as a means, in her words, to become wealthy.
  19. In all seriousness, it has to be Abrams right? She is so horribly perfect for this administration - a face and nothing else.
  20. Let's get Condoleezza Rice on the ticket!
  21. Well, instead of dropping out prior to Super Tuesday, when it was beyond obvious she had no shot of winning anything and would even be humiliated in her home state, she decided to stay in, ensuring that Biden would win the nomination. She endured a third place finish in Massachusetts just to ensure a conservative represents the Democratic party in November.
